of your chia cryptocurrency questions 4 00:00:04,550 --> 00:00:04,560 cryptocurrency questions 5 00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:05,990 cryptocurrency questions jeff we're gonna jump right back into it 6 00:00:05,990 --> 00:00:06,000 jeff we're gonna jump right back into it 7 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,829 jeff we're gonna jump right back into it we ran out of time last time 8 00:00:07,829 --> 00:00:07,839 we ran out of time last time 9 00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:09,430 we ran out of time last time but uh you've got more questions for me 10 00:00:09,430 --> 00:00:09,440 but uh you've got more questions for me 11 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:10,870 but uh you've got more questions for me let's do it somebody says i'm trying to 12 00:00:10,870 --> 00:00:10,880 let's do it somebody says i'm trying to 13 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:12,549 let's do it somebody says i'm trying to do my first plots 14 00:00:12,549 --> 00:00:12,559 do my first plots 15 00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:13,910 do my first plots but i don't understand what all the 16 00:00:13,910 --> 00:00:13,920 but i don't understand what all the 17 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,230 but i don't understand what all the settings mean i've tried doing just 10 18 00:00:16,230 --> 00:00:16,240 settings mean i've tried doing just 10 19 00:00:16,240 --> 00:00:17,510 settings mean i've tried doing just 10 plots and it said i don't have enough 20 00:00:17,510 --> 00:00:17,520 plots and it said i don't have enough 21 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,109 plots and it said i don't have enough space on my drive but it's two terabytes 22 00:00:19,109 --> 00:00:19,119 space on my drive but it's two terabytes 23 00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:20,630 space on my drive but it's two terabytes and this goes back to the storage space 24 00:00:20,630 --> 00:00:20,640 and this goes back to the storage space 25 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:21,910 and this goes back to the storage space that we're talking about earlier uh 26 00:00:21,910 --> 00:00:21,920 that we're talking about earlier uh 27 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,470 that we're talking about earlier uh the nvme space for the uh yeah the 28 00:00:24,470 --> 00:00:24,480 the nvme space for the uh yeah the 29 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:25,910 the nvme space for the uh yeah the temporary so they're saying it's two 30 00:00:25,910 --> 00:00:25,920 temporary so they're saying it's two 31 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:26,790 temporary so they're saying it's two terabytes 32 00:00:26,790 --> 00:00:26,800 terabytes 33 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,390 terabytes and i read somewhere that shia plots are 34 00:00:28,390 --> 00:00:28,400 and i read somewhere that shia plots are 35 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,070 and i read somewhere that shia plots are only about 100 gigs each 36 00:00:30,070 --> 00:00:30,080 only about 100 gigs each 37 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,270 only about 100 gigs each so i'm lost why is it that i can't do 10 38 00:00:33,270 --> 00:00:33,280 so i'm lost why is it that i can't do 10 39 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:34,950 so i'm lost why is it that i can't do 10 ah interesting okay i'm going to bring 40 00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:34,960 ah interesting okay i'm going to bring 41 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,110 ah interesting okay i'm going to bring up my screen here okay 42 00:00:37,110 --> 00:00:37,120 up my screen here okay 43 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,470 up my screen here okay what this user is encountering is 44 00:00:38,470 --> 00:00:38,480 what this user is encountering is 45 00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:40,229 what this user is encountering is they're adding a plot and they see it's 46 00:00:40,229 --> 00:00:40,239 they're adding a plot and they see it's 47 00:00:40,239 --> 00:00:43,030 they're adding a plot and they see it's 101 gigabytes they're seeing it as 48 00:00:43,030 --> 00:00:43,040 101 gigabytes they're seeing it as 49 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,029 101 gigabytes they're seeing it as but that's actually give a gibabytes 50 00:00:45,029 --> 00:00:45,039 but that's actually give a gibabytes 51 00:00:45,039 --> 00:00:46,549 but that's actually give a gibabytes which is hard for me to say but it is a 52 00:00:46,549 --> 00:00:46,559 which is hard for me to say but it is a 53 00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:47,110 which is hard for me to say but it is a word 54 00:00:47,110 --> 00:00:47,120 word 55 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,150 word um and they're setting this to 10. so 56 00:00:50,150 --> 00:00:50,160 um and they're setting this to 10. so 57 00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:53,510 um and they're setting this to 10. so thinking that okay 101 times 10 is going 58 00:00:53,510 --> 00:00:53,520 thinking that okay 101 times 10 is going 59 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,750 thinking that okay 101 times 10 is going to be about a terabyte 60 00:00:55,750 --> 00:00:55,760 to be about a terabyte 61 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,150 to be about a terabyte and they have a 2 terabyte nvme so it 62 00:00:58,150 --> 00:00:58,160 and they have a 2 terabyte nvme so it 63 00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,349 and they have a 2 terabyte nvme so it should work if they plot that in 64 00:00:59,349 --> 00:00:59,359 should work if they plot that in 65 00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:00,470 should work if they plot that in parallel right 66 00:01:00,470 --> 00:01:00,480 parallel right 67 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,590 parallel right uh well uh now note that this is give 68 00:01:03,590 --> 00:01:03,600 uh well uh now note that this is give 69 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,789 uh well uh now note that this is give giveabytes not gigabytes okay and the 70 00:01:06,789 --> 00:01:06,799 giveabytes not gigabytes okay and the 71 00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:08,789 giveabytes not gigabytes okay and the temporary space required 72 00:01:08,789 --> 00:01:08,799 temporary space required 73 00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:11,830 temporary space required per plot is 74 00:01:11,830 --> 00:01:11,840 per plot is 75 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,950 per plot is gigabytes so a quick way to figure this 76 00:01:14,950 --> 00:01:14,960 gigabytes so a quick way to figure this 77 00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:16,550 gigabytes so a quick way to figure this out i'm going to go into google 78 00:01:16,550 --> 00:01:16,560 out i'm going to go into google 79 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,590 out i'm going to go into google and say 239 gigabytes 80 00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:19,600 and say 239 gigabytes 81 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,910 and say 239 gigabytes to gigabytes that is going to be 256 82 00:01:23,910 --> 00:01:23,920 to gigabytes that is going to be 256 83 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,270 to gigabytes that is going to be 256 gigabytes per plot and 84 00:01:27,270 --> 00:01:27,280 gigabytes per plot and 85 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,109 gigabytes per plot and we're doing 10 plots at once so that 86 00:01:29,109 --> 00:01:29,119 we're doing 10 plots at once so that 87 00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:32,590 we're doing 10 plots at once so that requires 88 00:01:32,590 --> 00:01:32,600 89 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:33,830 2566.24 90 00:01:33,830 --> 00:01:33,840 2566.24 91 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,190 2566.24 gigabytes uh convert that to terabytes 92 00:01:37,190 --> 00:01:37,200 gigabytes uh convert that to terabytes 93 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,149 gigabytes uh convert that to terabytes and that requires a 2.6 terabyte drive 94 00:01:40,149 --> 00:01:40,159 and that requires a 2.6 terabyte drive 95 00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:41,749 and that requires a 2.6 terabyte drive so you're actually exceeding 96 00:01:41,749 --> 00:01:41,759 so you're actually exceeding 97 00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:44,389 so you're actually exceeding the capacity of your nvme right there so 98 00:01:44,389 --> 00:01:44,399 the capacity of your nvme right there so 99 00:01:44,399 --> 00:01:45,749 the capacity of your nvme right there so when you're when you're setting up your 100 00:01:45,749 --> 00:01:45,759 when you're when you're setting up your 101 00:01:45,759 --> 00:01:46,550 when you're when you're setting up your plots 102 00:01:46,550 --> 00:01:46,560 plots 103 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,870 plots um you need to keep that in mind now we 104 00:01:48,870 --> 00:01:48,880 um you need to keep that in mind now we 105 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,149 um you need to keep that in mind now we actually have a 106 00:01:50,149 --> 00:01:50,159 actually have a 107

got a two 126 00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:13,440 okay now you mentioned you've got a two 127 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:14,309 okay now you mentioned you've got a two terabyte 128 00:02:14,309 --> 00:02:14,319 terabyte 129 00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:17,430 terabyte nvme drive um and let's say my farm 130 00:02:17,430 --> 00:02:17,440 nvme drive um and let's say my farm 131 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,670 nvme drive um and let's say my farm capacity is eight terabytes and we've 132 00:02:19,670 --> 00:02:19,680 capacity is eight terabytes and we've 133 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:20,150 capacity is eight terabytes and we've got 134 00:02:20,150 --> 00:02:20,160 got 135 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,430 got eight threads on our i9 cpu and we've 136 00:02:23,430 --> 00:02:23,440 eight threads on our i9 cpu and we've 137 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:23,910 eight threads on our i9 cpu and we've got 138 00:02:23,910 --> 00:02:23,920 got 139 00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:27,750 got uh 64 gigs of ram okay i can see that i 140 00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:27,760 uh 64 gigs of ram okay i can see that i 141 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:28,390 uh 64 gigs of ram okay i can see that i can do 142 00:02:28,390 --> 00:02:28,400 can do 143 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,430 can do two plots and selecting parallel and i 144 00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:31,440 two plots and selecting parallel and i 145 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:32,150 two plots and selecting parallel and i can use 146 00:02:32,150 --> 00:02:32,160 can use 147 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,869 can use 3.7 uh well 3780 148 00:02:36,869 --> 00:02:36,879 3.7 uh well 3780 149 00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:39,650 3.7 uh well 3780 i don't know how to say that megabytes 150 00:02:39,650 --> 00:02:39,660 i don't know how to say that megabytes 151 00:02:39,660 --> 00:02:40,949 i don't know how to say that megabytes [Laughter] 152 00:02:40,949 --> 00:02:40,959 [Laughter] 153 00:02:40,959 --> 00:02:43,190 [Laughter] so well you say well two is not enough 154 00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:43,200 so well you say well two is not enough 155 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,350 so well you say well two is not enough robbie i want to do more than two so 156 00:02:45,350 --> 00:02:45,360 robbie i want to do more than two so 157 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,110 robbie i want to do more than two so notice that this is set the mode is set 158 00:02:47,110 --> 00:02:47,120 notice that this is set the mode is set 159 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,470 notice that this is set the mode is set to performance which is going to give us 160 00:02:48,470 --> 00:02:48,480 to performance which is going to give us 161 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,390 to performance which is going to give us fewer plots per run but it's going to be 162 00:02:50,390 --> 00:02:50,400 fewer plots per run but it's going to be 163 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,869 fewer plots per run but it's going to be faster well if i want to maximize my 164 00:02:52,869 --> 00:02:52,879 faster well if i want to maximize my 165 00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:54,550 faster well if i want to maximize my output i can go with the most number of 166 00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:54,560 output i can go with the most number of 167 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:55,430 output i can go with the most number of plots per run 168 00:02:55,430 --> 00:02:55,440 plots per run 169 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,350 plots per run and the slowest and that's going to give 170 00:02:57,350 --> 00:02:57,360 and the slowest and that's going to give 171 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,270 and the slowest and that's going to give me 7 on your 2 terabyte 172 00:02:59,270 --> 00:02:59,280 me 7 on your 2 terabyte 173 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,670 me 7 on your 2 terabyte okay so follow those settings and you'll 174 00:03:01,670 --> 00:03:01,680 okay so follow those settings and you'll 175 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,509 okay so follow those settings and you'll be able to actually maximize 176 00:03:03,509 --> 00:03:03,519 be able to actually maximize 177 00:03:03,519 --> 00:03:04,550 be able to actually maximize how much you're able to do but you 178 00:03:04,550 --> 00:03:04,560 how much you're able to do but you 179 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,790 how much you're able to do but you notice that 10 it's nowhere near 10 it's 180 00:03:06,790 --> 00:03:06,800 notice that 10 it's nowhere near 10 it's 181 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,710 notice that 10 it's nowhere near 10 it's seven is the absolute maximum 182 00:03:08,710 --> 00:03:08,720 seven is the absolute maximum 183 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,190 seven is the absolute maximum that you're able to do right okay now as 184 00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:11,200 that you're able to do right okay now as 185 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,670 that you're able to do right okay now as far as the performance versus 186 00:03:13,670 --> 00:03:13,680 far as the performance versus 187 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,790 far as the performance versus maximum capacity is there a sweet spot 188 00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:16,800 maximum capacity is there a sweet spot 189 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:17,350 maximum capacity is there a sweet spot in that 190 00:03:17,350 --> 00:03:17,360 in that 191 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,430 in that like it's hard to calculate yourself 192 00:03:19,430 --> 00:03:19,440 like it's hard to calculate yourself 193 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,110 like it's hard to calculate yourself right because you're going to be doing a 194 00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:21,120 right because you're going to be doing a 195 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,149 right because you're going to be doing a lot of testing 196 00:03:22,149 --> 00:03:22,159 lot of testing 197 00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:24,229 lot of testing so under use of computer in our 198 00:03:24,229 --> 00:03:24,239 so under use of computer in our 199 00:03:24,239 --> 00:03:26,149 so under use of computer in our calculator you can change it to 200 00:03:26,149 --> 00:03:26,159 calculator you can change it to 201 00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:27,830 calculator you can change it to balanced so that you can still use your 202 00:03:27,830 --> 00:03:27,840 balanced so that you can still use your 203 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,190 balanced so that you can still use your computer system for example 204 00:03:29,190 --> 00:03:29,200 computer system for example 205 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,990 computer system for example which basically relieved it of one plot 206 00:03:31,990 --> 00:03:32,000 which basically relieved it of one plot 207 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,270 which basically relieved it of one plot so that's going to give us a couple of 208 00:03:33,270 --> 00:03:33,280 so that's going to give us a couple of 209 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:33,990 so that's going to give us a couple of well one 210 00:03:33,990 --> 00:03:34,000 well one 211 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,229 well one thread on our cpu and a couple gigs of 212 00:03:36,229 --> 00:03:36,239 thread on our cpu and a couple gigs of 213 00:03:36,239 --> 00:03:38,630 thread on our cpu and a couple gigs of ram uh or i can go with low resource 214 00:03:38,630 --> 00:03:38,640 ram uh or i can go with low resource 215 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:39,990 ram uh or i can go with low resource usage which is going to allow me to run 216 00:03:39,990 --> 00:03:40,000 usage which is going to allow me to run 217 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,030 usage which is going to allow me to run it in the background 218 00:03:41,030 --> 00:03:41,040 it in the background 219 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,190 it in the background and i can keep working on my computer 220 00:03:43,190 --> 00:03:43,200 and i can keep working on my computer 221 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,869 and i can keep working on my computer it's only going to plot three plots at a 222 00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:44,879 it's only going to plot three plots at a 223 00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:46,470 it's only going to plot three plots at a time but it's going to be able to find 224 00:03:46,470 --> 00:03:46,480 time but it's going to be able to find 225 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:47,910 time but it's going to be able to find that sweet spot for us 226 00:03:47,910 --> 00:03:47,920 that sweet spot for us 227 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,910 that sweet spot for us okay that's just a helpful tool this is 228 00:03:49,910 --> 00:03:49,920 okay that's just a helpful tool this is 229 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,750 okay that's just a helpful tool this is not the de facto tool that's going to 230 00:03:51,750 --> 00:03:51,760 not the de facto tool that's going to 231 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,190 not the de facto tool that's going to answer all your questions and get you 232 00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:53,200 answer all your questions and get you 233 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,390 answer all your questions and get you plotting perfectly 234 00:03:54,390 --> 00:03:54,400 plotting perfectly 235 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,390 plotting perfectly it's just a helpful tool to get you 236 00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:56,400 it's just a helpful tool to get you 237 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,550 it's just a helpful tool to get you started and it should be able to help 238 00:03:58,550 --> 00:03:58,560 started and it should be able to help 239 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,710 started and it should be able to help to to get your head around some of those 240 00:04:00,710 --> 00:04:00,720 to to get your head around some of those 241 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:01,589 to to get your head around some of those settings sure 242 00:04:01,589 --> 00:04:01,599 settings sure 243 00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:03,030 settings sure absolutely because those settings do 244 00:04:03,030 --> 00:04:03,040 absolutely because those settings do 245 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,030 absolutely because those settings do matter you don't just randomly punch in 246 00:04:05,030 --> 00:04:05,040 matter you don't just randomly punch in 247 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,149 matter you don't just randomly punch in a number 248 00:04:06,149 --> 00:04:06,159 a number 249 00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:08,390 a number yeah i don't know if anybody who's done 250 00:04:08,390 --> 00:04:08,400 yeah i don't know if anybody who's done 251 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:09,670 yeah i don't know if anybody who's done mining i'm just going to put in a random 252 00:04:09,670 --> 00:04:09,680 mining i'm just going to put in a random 253 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:10,149 mining i'm just going to put in a random number 254 00:04:10,149 --> 00:04:10,159 number 255 00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:13,110 number it just doesn't work yeah now when it 256 00:04:13,110 --> 00:04:13,120 it just doesn't work yeah now when it 257 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,789 it just doesn't work yeah now when it comes to mining cryptocurrency there's 258 00:04:14,789 --> 00:04:14,799 comes to mining cryptocurrency there's 259 00:04:14,799 --> 00:04:16,390 comes to mining cryptocurrency there's been a lot of 260 00:04:16,390 --> 00:04:16,400 been a lot of 261 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,430 been a lot of talk about some of the some of the coins 262 00:04:19,430 --> 00:04:19,440 talk about some of the some of the coins 263 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,550 talk about some of the some of the coins and the environmental impact now 264 00:04:22,550 --> 00:04:22,560 and the environmental impact now 265 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,870 and the environmental impact now chia says that they are environmentally 266 00:04:24,870 --> 00:04:24,880 chia says that they are environmentally 267 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,469 chia says that they are environmentally friendly they do say this jeff 268 00:04:26,469 --> 00:04:26,479 friendly they do say this jeff 269 00:04:26,479 --> 00:04:28,070 friendly they do say this jeff but there are some on youtube that's 270 00:04:28,070 --> 00:04:28,080 but there are some on youtube that's 271 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,390 but there are some on youtube that's saying that that's hogwash 272 00:04:30,390 --> 00:04:30,400 saying that that's hogwash 273 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,749 saying that that's hogwash and it's actually just as bad 274 00:04:33,749 --> 00:04:33,759 and it's actually just as bad 275 00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:36,790 and it's actually just as bad environmentally as some of the more 276 00:04:36,790 --> 00:04:36,800 environmentally as some of the more 277 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,230 environmentally as some of the more well-known cryptocurrencies 278 00:04:38,230 --> 00:04:38,240 well-known cryptocurrencies 279 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,070 well-known cryptocurrencies right so is that true is it 280 00:04:40,070 --> 00:04:40,080 right so is that true is it 281 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,430 right so is that true is it environmentally friendly because my 282 00:04:41,430 --> 00:04:41,440 environmentally friendly because my 283 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:41,990 environmentally friendly because my thought is 284 00:04:41,990 --> 00:04:42,000 thought is 285 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,350 thought is if you can do it on a single board 286 00:04:43,350 --> 00:04:43,360 if you can do it on a single board 287 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,670 if you can do it on a single board computer that's so much less on energy 288 00:04:45,670 --> 00:04:45,680 computer that's so much less on energy 289 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:46,070 computer that's so much less on energy pull 290 00:04:46,070 --> 00:04:46,080 pull 291 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,990 pull i think the statement jeff um that i 292 00:04:47,990 --> 00:04:48,000 i think the statement jeff um that i 293 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,189 i think the statement jeff um that i have heard 294 00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:49,199 have heard 295 00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:51,189 have heard about some people saying that it's just 296 00:04:51,189 --> 00:04:51,199 about some people saying that it's just 297 00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:53,749 about some people saying that it's just as bad as proof of work or it is proof 298 00:04:53,749 --> 00:04:53,759 as bad as proof of work or it is proof 299 00:04:53,759 --> 00:04:54,550 as bad as proof of work or it is proof of work 300 00:04:54,550 --> 00:04:54,560 of work 301 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,390 of work they are looking at the plotting process 302 00:04:56,390 --> 00:04:56,400 they are looking at the plotting process 303 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,150 they are looking at the plotting process so we again backing up to our first 304 00:04:58,150 --> 00:04:58,160 so we again backing up to our first 305 00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:58,629 so we again backing up to our first question 306 00:04:58,629 --> 00:04:58,639 question 307 00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:00,390 question understanding the difference between 308 00:05:00,390 --> 00:05:00,400 understanding the difference between 309 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,150 understanding the difference between plotting and farming 310 00:05:02,150 --> 00:05:02,160 plotting and farming 311 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,350 plotting and farming so the plotting process well 312 00:05:05,350 --> 00:05:05,360 so the plotting process well 313 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:06,629 so the plotting process well when you're watching these videos or 314 00:05:06,629 --> 00:05:06,639 when you're watching these videos or 315 00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:08,390 when you're watching these videos or learning these things reading tutorials 316 00:05:08,390 --> 00:05:08,400 learning these things reading tutorials 317 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:08,790 learning these things reading tutorials and things 318 00:05:08,790 --> 00:05:08,800 and things 319 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,629 and things understand that if the person that 320 00:05:10,629 --> 00:05:10,639 understand that if the person that 321 00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:12,230 understand that if the person that you're observing 322 00:05:12,230 --> 00:05:12,240 you're observing 323 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,350 you're observing is setting up petabytes of storage and 324 00:05:15,350 --> 00:05:15,360 is setting up petabytes of storage and 325 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:15,749 is setting up petabytes of storage and they 326 00:05:15,749 --> 00:05:15,759 they 327 00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:19,749 they are creating a plotter that has 200 mvme 328 00:05:19,749 --> 00:05:19,759 are creating a plotter that has 200 mvme 329 00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:21,670 are creating a plotter that has 200 mvme drives and they're all set up in a raid 330 00:05:21,670 --> 00:05:21,680 drives and they're all set up in a raid 331 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,950 drives and they're all set up in a raid like they are that is they're 332 00:05:24,950 --> 00:05:24,960 like they are that is they're 333 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,550 like they are that is they're more than a farm like they are like a 334 00:05:26,550 --> 00:05:26,560 more than a farm like they are like a 335 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,870 more than a farm like they are like a factory farm okay 336 00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:28,880 factory farm okay 337 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,110 factory farm okay so understand that now what we're doing 338 00:05:31,110 --> 00:05:31,120 so understand that now what we're doing 339 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,110 so understand that now what we're doing is completely different because 340 00:05:33,110 --> 00:05:33,120 is completely different because 341 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,749 is completely different because understand that the proof-of-work aspect 342 00:05:35,749 --> 00:05:35,759 understand that the proof-of-work aspect 343 00:05:35,759 --> 00:05:36,230 understand that the proof-of-work aspect of 344 00:05:36,230 --> 00:05:36,240 of 345 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,670 of chia is just the plotting process 346 00:05:39,670 --> 00:05:39,680 chia is just the plotting process 347 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,270 chia is just the plotting process if you want to call it proof of work 348 00:05:41,270 --> 00:05:41,280 if you want to call it proof of work 349 00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:42,950 if you want to call it proof of work it's not technically 350 00:05:42,950 --> 00:05:42,960 it's not technically 351 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,629 it's not technically but it is you know that's the time 352 00:05:44,629 --> 00:05:44,639 but it is you know that's the time 353 00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:46,629 but it is you know that's the time component and it does use cpu 354 00:05:46,629 --> 00:05:46,639 component and it does use cpu 355 00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:51,110 component and it does use cpu and and uh i o and ram not gpu 356 00:05:51,110 --> 00:05:51,120 and and uh i o and ram not gpu 357 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,590 and and uh i o and ram not gpu so if they say it's not environmentally 358 00:05:53,590 --> 00:05:53,600 so if they say it's not environmentally 359 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:54,230 so if they say it's not environmentally friendly 360 00:05:54,230 --> 00:05:54,240 friendly 361 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,830 friendly they are referring and when we say 362 00:05:55,830 --> 00:05:55,840 they are referring and when we say 363 00:05:55,840 --> 00:05:56,950 they are referring and when we say environmentally friendly we're talking 364 00:05:56,950 --> 00:05:56,960 environmentally friendly we're talking 365 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,390 environmentally friendly we're talking about like energy consumption 366 00:05:58,390 --> 00:05:58,400 about like energy consumption 367 00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,909 about like energy consumption heat generated all that kind of stuff 368 00:05:59,909 --> 00:05:59,919 heat generated all that kind of stuff 369 00:05:59,919 --> 00:06:01,909 heat generated all that kind of stuff it's not like it it doesn't spew things 370 00:06:01,909 --> 00:06:01,919 it's not like it it doesn't spew things 371 00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:03,350 it's not like it it doesn't spew things into the atmosphere right 372 00:06:03,350 --> 00:06:03,360 into the atmosphere right 373 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,510 into the atmosphere right but just like crypto you know the proof 374 00:06:05,510 --> 00:06:05,520 but just like crypto you know the proof 375 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,270 but just like crypto you know the proof of work cryptos like bitcoin 376 00:06:07,270 --> 00:06:07,280 of work cryptos like bitcoin 377 00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:09,350 of work cryptos like bitcoin um that's they're referring to the 378 00:06:09,350 --> 00:06:09,360 um that's they're referring to the 379 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:10,950 um that's they're referring to the plotting process 380 00:06:10,950 --> 00:06:10,960 plotting process 381 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,230 plotting process in our scale so we're we've got a hard 382 00:06:14,230 --> 00:06:14,240 in our scale so we're we've got a hard 383 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,670 in our scale so we're we've got a hard drive connected to a raspberry pi that 384 00:06:15,670 --> 00:06:15,680 drive connected to a raspberry pi that 385 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:16,870 drive connected to a raspberry pi that we're going to farm on 386 00:06:16,870 --> 00:06:16,880 we're going to farm on 387 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,150 we're going to farm on we are plotting until that hard drive is 388 00:06:20,150 --> 00:06:20,160 we are plotting until that hard drive is 389 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:20,550 we are plotting until that hard drive is full 390 00:06:20,550 --> 00:06:20,560 full 391 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,270 full on our farm once that hard drive has as 392 00:06:23,270 --> 00:06:23,280 on our farm once that hard drive has as 393 00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:24,950 on our farm once that hard drive has as many plots as it can take 394 00:06:24,950 --> 00:06:24,960 many plots as it can take 395 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,189 many plots as it can take and our calculator will tell you so your 396 00:06:27,189 --> 00:06:27,199 and our calculator will tell you so your 397 00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:29,110 and our calculator will tell you so your your 8 terabyte drive can take 398 00:06:29,110 --> 00:06:29,120 your 8 terabyte drive can take 399 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,390 your 8 terabyte drive can take 75 plots okay so once i've created 75 400 00:06:32,390 --> 00:06:32,400 75 plots okay so once i've created 75 401 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:33,670 75 plots okay so once i've created 75 plots on that drive 402 00:06:33,670 --> 00:06:33,680 plots on that drive 403 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,710 plots on that drive i stopped plotting i'm done now 404 00:06:36,710 --> 00:06:36,720 i stopped plotting i'm done now 405 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,830 i stopped plotting i'm done now for as long as that raspberry pi and the 406 00:06:39,830 --> 00:06:39,840 for as long as that raspberry pi and the 407 00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:40,710 for as long as that raspberry pi and the hard drive 408 00:06:40,710 --> 00:06:40,720 hard drive 409 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,070 hard drive will live without failing they will just 410 00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:44,080 will live without failing they will just 411 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,590 will live without failing they will just run and run and run farming chia 412 00:06:47,590 --> 00:06:47,600 run and run and run farming chia 413 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,710 run and run and run farming chia how much usage is there in that process 414 00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:50,720 how much usage is there in that process 415 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,230 how much usage is there in that process now what do we have jeff we have a 416 00:06:52,230 --> 00:06:52,240 now what do we have jeff we have a 417 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,270 now what do we have jeff we have a raspberry pi 418 00:06:53,270 --> 00:06:53,280 raspberry pi 419 00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:56,629 raspberry pi micro computer and we have an external 420 00:06:56,629 --> 00:06:56,639 micro computer and we have an external 421 00:06:56,639 --> 00:06:57,350 micro computer and we have an external hard drive 422 00:06:57,350 --> 00:06:57,360 hard drive 423 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,629 hard drive right that is this the usage 424 00:07:00,629 --> 00:07:00,639 right that is this the usage 425 00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:03,670 right that is this the usage which is negligible yep it's just that 426 00:07:03,670 --> 00:07:03,680 which is negligible yep it's just that 427 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:04,950 which is negligible yep it's just that initial 428 00:07:04,950 --> 00:07:04,960 initial 429 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,830 initial plotting process so thinking about 430 00:07:07,830 --> 00:07:07,840 plotting process so thinking about 431 00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:09,749 plotting process so thinking about traditional mining you're going to be 432 00:07:09,749 --> 00:07:09,759 traditional mining you're going to be 433 00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:12,390 traditional mining you're going to be mining mining mining all the time 24 7 434 00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:12,400 mining mining mining all the time 24 7 435 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:13,110 mining mining mining all the time 24 7 for the end of 436 00:07:13,110 --> 00:07:13,120 for the end of 437 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,430 for the end of until the end of time this is a process 438 00:07:15,430 --> 00:07:15,440 until the end of time this is a process 439 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:16,790 until the end of time this is a process that happens once 440 00:07:16,790 --> 00:07:16,800 that happens once 441 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,629 that happens once you move those onto your farm and then 442 00:07:18,629 --> 00:07:18,639 you move those onto your farm and then 443 00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:20,950 you move those onto your farm and then the farm is extremely 444 00:07:20,950 --> 00:07:20,960 the farm is extremely 445 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,110 the farm is extremely economical it's not going to be running 446 00:07:23,110 --> 00:07:23,120 economical it's not going to be running 447 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,150 economical it's not going to be running up your hydro bill 448 00:07:24,150 --> 00:07:24,160 up your hydro bill 449 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,830 up your hydro bill your electricity bill we call it hydro 450 00:07:25,830 --> 00:07:25,840 your electricity bill we call it hydro 451 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,670 your electricity bill we call it hydro here in canada um 452 00:07:27,670 --> 00:07:27,680 here in canada um 453 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:32,070 here in canada um and and it's extremely uh by contrast 454 00:07:32,070 --> 00:07:32,080 and and it's extremely uh by contrast 455 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,950 and and it's extremely uh by contrast to proof of work extremely good 456 00:07:34,950 --> 00:07:34,960 to proof of work extremely good 457 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,629 to proof of work extremely good comparatively for the environment 458 00:07:36,629 --> 00:07:36,639 comparatively for the environment 459 00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:38,950 comparatively for the environment right so i mean if you're doing a an 460 00:07:38,950 --> 00:07:38,960 right so i mean if you're doing a an 461 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,390 right so i mean if you're doing a an analysis 462 00:07:40,390 --> 00:07:40,400 analysis 463 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,430 analysis in a you know say 24 hour period between 464 00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:43,440 in a you know say 24 hour period between 465 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,550 in a you know say 24 hour period between asic mining groups versus plotting 466 00:07:46,550 --> 00:07:46,560 asic mining groups versus plotting 467 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,110 asic mining groups versus plotting you might say oh there's it's not that 468 00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:49,120 you might say oh there's it's not that 469 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,950 you might say oh there's it's not that negligible but if you look at the grand 470 00:07:50,950 --> 00:07:50,960 negligible but if you look at the grand 471 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:51,749 negligible but if you look at the grand scheme of 472 00:07:51,749 --> 00:07:51,759 scheme of 473 00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:53,189 scheme of you know you do your plotting and say 474 00:07:53,189 --> 00:07:53,199 you know you do your plotting and say 475 00:07:53,199 --> 00:07:55,029 you know you do your plotting and say your hard drives run for three years 476 00:07:55,029 --> 00:07:55,039 your hard drives run for three years 477 00:07:55,039 --> 00:07:56,629 your hard drives run for three years yeah and you balance that all out it's 478 00:07:56,629 --> 00:07:56,639 yeah and you balance that all out it's 479 00:07:56,639 --> 00:07:58,309 yeah and you balance that all out it's like it's not even 480 00:07:58,309 --> 00:07:58,319 like it's not even 481 00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:00,070 like it's not even close keep in mind a consumer hard drive 482 00:08:00,070 --> 00:08:00,080 close keep in mind a consumer hard drive 483 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,830 close keep in mind a consumer hard drive is gonna have a five year warranty on it 484 00:08:01,830 --> 00:08:01,840 is gonna have a five year warranty on it 485 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,749 is gonna have a five year warranty on it and it's meant to run for five years 486 00:08:03,749 --> 00:08:03,759 and it's meant to run for five years 487 00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:05,350 and it's meant to run for five years consecutively exactly so 488 00:08:05,350 --> 00:08:05,360 consecutively exactly so 489 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,430 consecutively exactly so you know you're you could get five years 490 00:08:07,430 --> 00:08:07,440 you know you're you could get five years 491 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:08,869 you know you're you could get five years out of that and beyond 492 00:08:08,869 --> 00:08:08,879 out of that and beyond 493 00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:10,390 out of that and beyond that's right so it's just gonna run 494 00:08:10,390 --> 00:08:10,400 that's right so it's just gonna run 495 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,469 that's right so it's just gonna run using nothing which is 496 00:08:12,469 --> 00:08:12,479 using nothing which is 497 00:08:12,479 --> 00:08:15,990 using nothing which is amazing so okay now somebody has 498 00:08:15,990 --> 00:08:16,000 amazing so okay now somebody has 499 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,510 amazing so okay now somebody has we must be getting through the list we 500 00:08:17,510 --> 00:08:17,520 we must be getting through the list we 501 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:18,790 we must

00:08:35,829 love it yeah all right yeah we got a couple i think easy questions oh good 522 00:08:35,829 --> 00:08:35,839 couple i think easy questions oh good 523 00:08:35,839 --> 00:08:37,430 couple i think easy questions oh good because now we've gone through the setup 524 00:08:37,430 --> 00:08:37,440 because now we've gone through the setup 525 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,029 because now we've gone through the setup process we're mined yeah yeah 526 00:08:39,029 --> 00:08:39,039 process we're mined yeah yeah 527 00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:40,389 process we're mined yeah yeah all right we're getting ready to start 528 00:08:40,389 --> 00:08:40,399 all right we're getting ready to start 529 00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:42,149 all right we're getting ready to start mining farming sorry 530 00:08:42,149 --> 00:08:42,159 mining farming sorry 531 00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:45,590 mining farming sorry um what wallet should they use 532 00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:45,600 um what wallet should they use 533 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,630 um what wallet should they use because oh okay she is like i don't have 534 00:08:48,630 --> 00:08:48,640 because oh okay she is like i don't have 535 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:49,269 because oh okay she is like i don't have yeah 536 00:08:49,269 --> 00:08:49,279 yeah 537 00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:50,150 yeah you're not putting it on your 538 00:08:50,150 --> 00:08:50,160 you're not putting it on your 539 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,710 you're not putting it on your traditional wallet um it's part of the 540 00:08:52,710 --> 00:08:52,720 traditional wallet um it's part of the 541 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,949 traditional wallet um it's part of the chia blockchain software right now 542 00:08:54,949 --> 00:08:54,959 chia blockchain software right now 543 00:08:54,959 --> 00:08:57,910 chia blockchain software right now now will it be adopted by um by other 544 00:08:57,910 --> 00:08:57,920 now will it be adopted by um by other 545 00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:58,870 now will it be adopted by um by other wallet software 546 00:08:58,870 --> 00:08:58,880 wallet software 547 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,910 wallet software probably uh yeah i would expect so 548 00:09:01,910 --> 00:09:01,920 probably uh yeah i would expect so 549 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,829 probably uh yeah i would expect so keep in mind that chia is open source 550 00:09:03,829 --> 00:09:03,839 keep in mind that chia is open source 551 00:09:03,839 --> 00:09:05,030 keep in mind that chia is open source and you know that's 552 00:09:05,030 --> 00:09:05,040 and you know that's 553 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,030 and you know that's that's likely going to happen but right 554 00:09:07,030 --> 00:09:07,040 that's likely going to happen but right 555 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:08,630 that's likely going to happen but right now it's very very new 556 00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:08,640 now it's very very new 557 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,269 now it's very very new so there's not third party integration i 558 00:09:11,269 --> 00:09:11,279 so there's not third party integration i 559 00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:12,550 so there's not third party integration i i don't know of any 560 00:09:12,550 --> 00:09:12,560 i don't know of any 561 00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:15,750 i don't know of any um any uh exchanges that are currently 562 00:09:15,750 --> 00:09:15,760 um any uh exchanges that are currently 563 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:16,550 um any uh exchanges that are currently carrying it 564 00:09:16,550 --> 00:09:16,560 carrying it 565 00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:19,750 carrying it etc etc and the wallet is going to be 566 00:09:19,750 --> 00:09:19,760 etc etc and the wallet is going to be 567 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,670 etc etc and the wallet is going to be the chia blockchain software right okay 568 00:09:23,670 --> 00:09:23,680 the chia blockchain software right okay 569 00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:26,790 the chia blockchain software right okay um and as far as 570 00:09:26,790 --> 00:09:26,800 um and as far as 571 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,470 um and as far as you know the investment cost because 572 00:09:28,470 --> 00:09:28,480 you know the investment cost because 573 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,230 you know the investment cost because you've talked about mvmes and 574 00:09:30,230 --> 00:09:30,240 you've talked about mvmes and 575 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:31,190 you've talked about mvmes and you know you're going to burn one of 576 00:09:31,190 --> 00:09:31,200 you know you're going to burn one of 577 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,269 you know you're going to burn one of those out in the hard drive space one at 578 00:09:33,269 --> 00:09:33,279 those out in the hard drive space one at 579 00:09:33,279 --> 00:09:33,750 those out in the hard drive space one at least 580 00:09:33,750 --> 00:09:33,760 least 581 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,949 least yeah is there kind of a sweet spot 582 00:09:36,949 --> 00:09:36,959 yeah is there kind of a sweet spot 583 00:09:36,959 --> 00:09:37,509 yeah is there kind of a sweet spot between 584 00:09:37,509 --> 00:09:37,519 between 585 00:09:37,519 --> 00:09:42,949 between investment versus potential profit 586 00:09:42,949 --> 00:09:42,959 investment versus potential profit 587 00:09:42,959 --> 00:09:45,590 investment versus potential profit there's there's a big fine line between 588 00:09:45,590 --> 00:09:45,600 there's there's a big fine line between 589 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,310 there's there's a big fine line between investing 590 00:09:46,310 --> 00:09:46,320 investing 591 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,990 investing and just simply farming chia 592 00:09:49,990 --> 00:09:50,000 and just simply farming chia 593 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,550 and just simply farming chia i would suggest i mean if you're just 594 00:09:52,550 --> 00:09:52,560 i would suggest i mean if you're just 595 00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:54,949 i would suggest i mean if you're just the average joe consumer like me 596 00:09:54,949 --> 00:09:54,959 the average joe consumer like me 597 00:09:54,959 --> 00:09:56,870 the average joe consumer like me just grab some stuff that you got 598 00:09:56,870 --> 00:09:56,880 just grab some stuff that you got 599 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:57,990 just grab some stuff that you got kicking around 600 00:09:57,990 --> 00:09:58,000 kicking around 601 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,230 kicking around you might have to buy an nvme drive i 602 00:10:00,230 --> 00:10:00,240 you might have to buy an nvme drive i 603 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,190 you might have to buy an nvme drive i happen to have 604 00:10:01,190 --> 00:10:01,200 happen to have 605 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,190 happen to have a two terabyte nvme drive that i can 606 00:10:03,190 --> 00:10:03,200 a two terabyte nvme drive that i can 607 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,870 a two terabyte nvme drive that i can burn through and that's okay 608 00:10:04,870 --> 00:10:04,880 burn through and that's okay 609 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,710 burn through and that's okay uh if you don't you might have to buy 610 00:10:06,710 --> 00:10:06,720 uh if you don't you might have to buy 611 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:07,990 uh if you don't you might have to buy that but 612 00:10:07,990 --> 00:10:08,000 that but 613 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,790 that but uh and a little bit extra hardware just 614 00:10:10,790 --> 00:10:10,800 uh and a little bit extra hardware just 615 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:11,910 uh and a little bit extra hardware just use what you have 616 00:10:11,910 --> 00:10:11,920 use what you have 617 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,829 use what you have um jeff you were asking about like how 618 00:10:13,829 --> 00:10:13,839 um jeff you were asking about like how 619 00:10:13,839 --> 00:10:15,269 um jeff you were asking about like how big of a hard drive should i have and 620 00:10:15,269 --> 00:10:15,279 big of a hard drive should i have and 621 00:10:15,279 --> 00:10:18,150 big of a hard drive should i have and and i think if you've got a four 622 00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:18,160 and i think if you've got a four 623 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,910 and i think if you've got a four terabyte hard drive kicking around 624 00:10:19,910 --> 00:10:19,920 terabyte hard drive kicking around 625 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,150 terabyte hard drive kicking around which most of us do at this point maybe 626 00:10:22,150 --> 00:10:22,160 which most of us do at this point maybe 627 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,670 which most of us do at this point maybe you can pull it from something 628 00:10:23,670 --> 00:10:23,680 you can pull it from something 629 00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:25,910 you can pull it from something um you'd probably be okay to start with 630 00:10:25,910 --> 00:10:25,920 um you'd probably be okay to start with 631 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,069 um you'd probably be okay to start with that you could start with a one terabyte 632 00:10:28,069 --> 00:10:28,079 that you could start with a one terabyte 633 00:10:28,079 --> 00:10:29,590 that you could start with a one terabyte and you're going to plot it 634 00:10:29,590 --> 00:10:29,600 and you're going to plot it 635 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,470 and you're going to plot it and let it run on your farm and then 636 00:10:32,470 --> 00:10:32,480 and let it run on your farm and then 637 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,230 and let it run on your farm and then upgrade it or add another one and 638 00:10:34,230 --> 00:10:34,240 upgrade it or add another one and 639 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,150 upgrade it or add another one and you can continually kind of grow it that 640 00:10:36,150 --> 00:10:36,160 you can continually kind of grow it that 641 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:37,430 you can continually kind of grow it that way but don't go 642 00:10:37,430 --> 00:10:37,440 way but don't go 643 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,030 way but don't go sinking a bunch of money into something 644 00:10:39,030 --> 00:10:39,040 sinking a bunch of money into something 645 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,870 sinking a bunch of money into something that hasn't generated anything for you 646 00:10:40,870 --> 00:10:40,880 that hasn't generated anything for you 647 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:41,670 that hasn't generated anything for you yet 648 00:10:41,670 --> 00:10:41,680 yet 649 00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:44,310 yet okay build yourself and there's there's 650 00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:44,320 okay build yourself and there's there's 651 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:45,750 okay build yourself and there's there's a flip side to that because 652 00:10:45,750 --> 00:10:45,760 a flip side to that because 653 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,430 a flip side to that because early adopters you know the early bird 654 00:10:47,430 --> 00:10:47,440 early adopters you know the early bird 655 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,110 early adopters you know the early bird gets the worm and that's absolutely true 656 00:10:49,110 --> 00:10:49,120 gets the worm and that's absolutely true 657 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,470 gets the worm and that's absolutely true with something like chia because 658 00:10:50,470 --> 00:10:50,480 with something like chia because 659 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,710 with something like chia because the more people who start farming it the 660 00:10:52,710 --> 00:10:52,720 the more people who start farming it the 661 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,470 the more people who start farming it the harder it will be to get chia 662 00:10:54,470 --> 00:10:54,480 harder it will be to get chia 663 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,230 harder it will be to get chia and so you know the early adopters are 664 00:10:56,230 --> 00:10:56,240 and so you know the early adopters are 665 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,509 and so you know the early adopters are the ones who are going to get 666 00:10:57,509 --> 00:10:57,519 the ones who are going to get 667 00:10:57,519 --> 00:11:00,550 the ones who are going to get the chia coin really really quickly so 668 00:11:00,550 --> 00:11:00,560 the chia coin really really quickly so 669 00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:01,990 the chia coin really really quickly so there's a flip side to it too 670 00:11:01,990 --> 00:11:02,000 there's a flip side to it too 671 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,670 there's a flip side to it too if you can pull up some extra storage 672 00:11:03,670 --> 00:11:03,680 if you can pull up some extra storage 673 00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:06,150 if you can pull up some extra storage and you know hook it up then that's 674 00:11:06,150 --> 00:11:06,160 and you know hook it up then that's 675 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,990 and you know hook it up then that's great but 676 00:11:07,990 --> 00:11:08,000 great but 677 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,590 great but but there's a fine line between 678 00:11:11,590 --> 00:11:11,600 but there's a fine line between 679 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,389 but there's a fine line between setting up a farm and gambling and i 680 00:11:14,389 --> 00:11:14,399 setting up a farm and gambling and i 681 00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:15,030 setting up a farm and gambling and i would say 682 00:11:15,030 --> 00:11:15,040 would say 683 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,710 would say as soon as you cross over that line or 684 00:11:16,710 --> 00:11:16,720 as soon as you cross over that line or 685 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,230 as soon as you cross over that line or even approach that line 686 00:11:18,230 --> 00:11:18,240 even approach that line 687 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,190 even approach that line uh back up okay that just use what you 688 00:11:21,190 --> 00:11:21,200 uh back up okay that just use what you 689 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:21,829 uh back up okay that just use what you have 690 00:11:21,829 --> 00:11:21,839 have 691 00:11:21,839 --> 00:11:24,550 have and and that's the sweet spot to get 692 00:11:24,550 --> 00:11:24,560 and and that's the sweet spot to get 693 00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:25,350 and and that's the sweet spot to get started 694 00:11:25,350 --> 00:11:25,360 started 695 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,350 started and if you have to put a little bit of 696 00:11:27,350 --> 00:11:27,360 and if you have to put a little bit of 697 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,870 and if you have to put a little bit of hardware into it then 698 00:11:28,870 --> 00:11:28,880 hardware into it then 699 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,389 hardware into it then by all means do but just keep it within 700 00:11:32,389 --> 00:11:32,399 by all means do but just keep it within 701 00:11:32,399 --> 00:11:33,750 by all means do but just keep it within reason and watch out 702 00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:33,760 reason and watch out 703 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,030 reason and watch out you know don't look at that calculator 704 00:11:35,030 --> 00:11:35,040 you know don't look at that calculator 705 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,870 you know don't look at that calculator and say wow i'm going to get 600 a month 706 00:11:36,870 --> 00:11:36,880 and say wow i'm going to get 600 a month 707 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,470 and say wow i'm going to get 600 a month on my raspberry pi 708 00:11:38,470 --> 00:11:38,480 on my raspberry pi 709 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:39,829 on my raspberry pi well then you've got to factor in that 710 00:11:39,829 --> 00:11:39,839 well then you've got to factor in that 711 00:11:39,839 --> 00:11:41,910 well then you've got to factor in that you're going to actually need to buy 712 00:11:41,910 --> 00:11:41,920 you're going to actually need to buy 713 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,509 you're going to actually need to buy four nvme drives because you're going to 714 00:11:43,509 --> 00:11:43,519 four nvme drives because you're going to 715 00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:44,630 four nvme drives because you're going to burn through them in order to create 716 00:11:44,630 --> 00:11:44,640 burn through them in order to create 717 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:45,910 burn through them in order to create that many plots 718 00:11:45,910 --> 00:11:45,920 that many plots 719 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,910 that many plots so you you know you've got to be careful 720 00:11:47,910 --> 00:11:47,920 so you you know you've got to be careful 721 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,190 so you you know you've got to be careful of that so 722 00:11:49,190 --> 00:11:49,200 of that so 723 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,870 of that so start small work your way there and 724 00:11:52,870 --> 00:11:52,880 start small work your way there and 725 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,030 start small work your way there and then you can start to increase that as 726 00:11:55,030 --> 00:11:55,040 then you can start to increase that as 727 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:55,990 then you can start to increase that as you grow 728 00:11:55,990 --> 00:11:56,000 you grow 729 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,470 you grow okay makes sense um now if i decided 730 00:12:00,470 --> 00:12:00,480 okay makes sense um now if i decided 731 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,870 okay makes sense um now if i decided you know i've been mining chia for three 732 00:12:02,870 --> 00:12:02,880 you know i've been mining chia for three 733 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,310 you know i've been mining chia for three years farming 734 00:12:04,310 --> 00:12:04,320 years farming 735 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:05,829 years farming farming sorry i've got to get used to 736 00:12:05,829 --> 00:12:05,839 farming sorry i've got to get used to 737 00:12:05,839 --> 00:12:08,069 farming sorry i've got to get used to this farming yes say i've been farming 738 00:12:08,069 --> 00:12:08,079 this farming yes say i've been farming 739 00:12:08,079 --> 00:12:08,629 this farming yes say i've been farming chia 740 00:12:08,629 --> 00:12:08,639 chia 741 00:12:08,639 --> 00:12:11,670 chia for a couple of years now and and i've 742 00:12:11,670 --> 00:12:11,680 for a couple of years now and and i've 743 00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:13,350 for a couple of years now and and i've but it's only been out for a week well 744 00:12:13,350 --> 00:12:13,360 but it's only been out for a week well 745 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,350 but it's only been out for a week well yeah but i decide that yeah 746 00:12:15,350 --> 00:12:15,360 yeah but i decide that yeah 747 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,389 yeah but i decide that yeah i'm done and i want to and i finished 748 00:12:18,389 --> 00:12:18,399 i'm done and i want to and i finished 749 00:12:18,399 --> 00:12:20,470 i'm done and i want to and i finished i'm finished maybe it's gotten so 750 00:12:20,470 --> 00:12:20,480 i'm finished maybe it's gotten so 751 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,870 i'm finished maybe it's gotten so complex that you can no longer get chia 752 00:12:22,870 --> 00:12:22,880 complex that you can no longer get chia 753 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,710 complex that you can no longer get chia right so can i um 754 00:12:26,710 --> 00:12:26,720 right so can i um 755 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,470 right so can i um repurpose those hard drives for 756 00:12:28,470 --> 00:12:28,480 repurpose those hard drives for 757 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:29,829 repurpose those hard drives for something else can i use them for a 758 00:12:29,829 --> 00:12:29,839 something else can i use them for a 759 00:12:29,839 --> 00:12:31,190 something else can i use them for a different cryptocurrency or 760 00:12:31,190 --> 00:12:31,200 different cryptocurrency or 761 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,470 different cryptocurrency or is the whole thing like once it's 762 00:12:32,470 --> 00:12:32,480 is the whole thing like once it's 763 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:33,750 is the whole thing like once it's plotted that's it you're done the only 764 00:12:33,750 --> 00:12:33,760 plotted that's it you're done the only 765 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,590 plotted that's it you're done the only thing you're burning through is the nvme 766 00:12:35,590 --> 00:12:35,600 thing you're burning through is the nvme 767 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,509 thing you're burning through is the nvme so you probably won't want to reuse that 768 00:12:37,509 --> 00:12:37,519 so you probably won't want to reuse that 769 00:12:37,519 --> 00:12:39,030 so you probably won't want to reuse that nvme drive you'll want to use that for 770 00:12:39,030 --> 00:12:39,040 nvme drive you'll want to use that for 771 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,629 nvme drive you'll want to use that for plotting until it dies 772 00:12:40,629 --> 00:12:40,639 plotting until it dies 773 00:12:40,639 --> 00:12:41,990 plotting until it dies as far as your farming hardware goes 774 00:12:41,990 --> 00:12:42,000 as far as your farming hardware goes 775 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,750 as far as your farming hardware goes yeah absolutely repurpose that hard 776 00:12:43,750 --> 00:12:43,760 yeah absolutely repurpose that hard 777 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,269 yeah absolutely repurpose that hard drive 778 00:12:45,269 --> 00:12:45,279 drive 779 00:12:45,279 --> 00:12:46,949 drive use it as an external backup drive for 780 00:12:46,949 --> 00:12:46,959 use it as an external backup drive for 781 00:12:46,959 --> 00:12:48,790 use it as an external backup drive for your computer whatever you want to do 782 00:12:48,790 --> 00:12:48,800 your computer whatever you want to do 783 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,350 your computer whatever you want to do use it as extra storage put it in a raid 784 00:12:51,350 --> 00:12:51,360 use it as extra storage put it in a raid 785 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:51,990 use it as extra storage put it in a raid array 786 00:12:51,990 --> 00:12:52,000 array 787 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,829 array yeah absolutely we reuse it it's just a 788 00:12:53,829 --> 00:12:53,839 yeah absolutely we reuse it it's just a 789 00:12:53,839 --> 00:12:55,269 yeah absolutely we reuse it it's just a hard drive okay 790 00:12:55,269 --> 00:12:55,279 hard drive okay 791 00:12:55,279 --> 00:12:56,710 hard drive okay well those are all kind of the top 792 00:12:56,710 --> 00:12:56,720 well those are all kind of the top 793 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:57,990 well those are all kind of the top questions and i think it kind of covers 794 00:12:57,990 --> 00:12:58,000 questions and i think it kind of covers 795 00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,190 questions and i think it kind of covers the gamut from 796 00:12:59,190 --> 00:12:59,200 the gamut from 797 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,829 the gamut from getting started to well shutting her 798 00:13:01,829 --> 00:13:01,839 getting started to well shutting her 799 00:13:01,839 --> 00:13:02,230 getting started to well shutting her down 800 00:13:02,230 --> 00:13:02,240 down 801 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,269 down here we are yeah we're going to be 802

00:13:05,600 looking at chia over the course of the 805 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,350 looking at chia over the course of the next little while as it grows 806 00:13:07,350 --> 00:13:07,360 next little while as it grows 807 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:08,870 next little while as it grows and uh we are going to be doing some 808 00:13:08,870 --> 00:13:08,880 and uh we are going to be doing some 809
