So instead of wasting energy we waste resources building HDDs. And the market will be flooded with worn out HDDs. And instead of GPU prices it's HDD prices. Lit

- Glench 5y agoMaybe! One of the bets the Chia team is making is that there's a lot of over-provisioned storage already out in the market that organizations and individuals will start to turn toward farming. This is obviously a lot more profitable than buying new drives just to farm since they're existing assets. And if in the long-run it continues to be profitable to farm Chia by buying new drives then it will likely help lower storage prices for the entire market.
