Well today is the day Chia token XCH begins trading.
Have you started plotting (building 'land' areas = space) and farming ( = time)?
If you have and you aren't a whale, why bother given the huge growth of industrial scale 'whales'?
Well I think the answer is sometime in the future there will be Chia pools and combined we can all earn. In the meantime, just solo farming is like buying a lottery ticket - the odds are low - but you could strike lucky.
So I'm busy allocating all my acquired old hard drives to Chia. You can use just regular hard drives for both plotting and farming, but a) don't risk your PC/Mac's internal drive, use an extra internal drive or external ones b) it takes a long, long time. An SSD or NVME drive is the best choice for plotting, although the speed trade off is with cost and the SSD endurance issues.
