THE CHIA FARM

[gb00s]

My farm is still around ~254TB chugging along on 24 disks. Pretty disappointed that price is keep on sliding down; luckily netspace is going down with it, recuperating some of the loss income and there is no complete price crash. At so low prices, even for used SAS drives, it takes 3.3 years to take back the investment. I am not sure if I should keep hodling and or sell my chia to expand.

If you still think CHIA is something for you to be invested in, sell the hardware and buy the coin. Your investment has limited risk then. With keeping mining it, your investment in hardware and other other 'soft' commodities like electricity, hardware damages etc keeps you wide open.

Enough farming, it's now close to non-profitable for my colo. 150 coins on 1PB earned, I'll hold it, maybe on the next bitcoin bull run something happens. The good thing I have where to use the disks right away

My farm has shrink to like 3 drives. Just retired old smaller ones when my electricity cost made it unprofitable to leave them plugged in.

I can always use hard drives to hoard more data if project fails. I sold enough to cover my electricity cost for this and next year so we are all good.

So @Marsh - I was going to put a few 14-18 USB HDDs on a TinyMiniMicro node (I have a few extras) after using a PC with Optane for plotting. I told @WillTaillac and pretty sure he thought I was crazy for having such a small farm :-(

has your farm size changed at all since then?
