This is by far the best video about Chia and the journey it takes you on. I relate so much to what you say in this video, especially the part on learning. That is my favorite part about Chia, hearing people say that Chia has lead them to learn things that they normally wouldn't have. I personally love Powershell and really enjoy that I get to teach people a little bit of it inadvertently through Chia. I really appreciate the shout out and I look forward to your future videos!
I'm honored ty for coming to the channel and commenting :") -- also -- thanks for making the videos you've made to help the community!
So fun too see same ppl across different channels, I find this channel very useful and learned a lot here and on also am a big fan of your powershell module, thanks to you both for sharing your knowledge
What? I thought i will have lambo next month? Tis bullshit then why am i farming?
@@johnjonh4633 lololol lambos in the mail :)
i learned a lot, and this video should be sent to bram cohen
Take notes folks, we’re blessed to have such an educated and fair play gentleman in this chia community. Thank you 🙏🇮🇪
Ty so much for your kind words. I truly appreciate the people here more than anything else.
Thank you, kind person, for working on this project! We love and respect you very much, watch and support each of your videos. Keep on always the same cool!
Thank you. I'm a newbie, frankly not very computer litterate, but learning everyday and enjoying the journey. The challenge of trying to plot optimaly is very interesting by itself. Your channel helped me a lot and it's always a pleasure to watch. Keep up the good work and thanks again for your honesty. You're a gentleman.
100% right about the journey - I've learned a lot. It's been a damn blast.
Hey i know you from the chia forums :) Nice to see you here ty for supporting the channel sir!!
I'm an IT professional and I learned a lot during my Chia journey. And I'm very happy to help the BR community with the things that I learn from all youtubers. Great work, thank you!
THANK YOU!!!! This is my favorite part of chia right now.
From Reddit : how to become rich with Chia :
- sell your hard drives on eBay
- buy WD, Seagate stocks
For 29 years I’ve worked in IT and had become pretty jaded. After getting into Chia and watching your analytical and inspirational videos I’m back in the game, keep up the fantastic work. I’ve found myself regularly checking my UA-cam feed for one of your new videos dropping.
You are my inspiration man, this is all new and is HARD, but we will win.... We started our Chia journey this week and bought a lot of hardware, even a 3D printer to make your drive enclouse ;) .... so don't give up and keep helping us with your videos.
Watched this yesterday and got my first win over night. Thanks for lifting my curse.
Awesome video, I think you summarised perfectly how a lot of us have felt during this journey! I myself discovered my farmer was lagging behind in the logs while in the client everything looked good. I made 0 XCH and switched to a dedicated farmer and 3 harvesters which fixed the problem. Now I have 110TB and made 6XCH..
Clearly Chia just started out and there are still lots of bugs or quality of life upgrades needed. Everyone just expect to roll in on this and drive a lambo tomorrow, that’s now how these thing work. Respect for speaking out of experience and not just criticising to gain popularity without doing research.
I appreciate the honesty. You’ve been the most solid source of information and I will be joining the discord..I’m not a professional and many of the ideas you share are above my head but I like learning and will use some resources to build a farm.
I'm subscribed to a few chia channels, yours feels so accessible to someone like me who had zero experience in computing and farming, you speak plainly and don't presume that everyone viewing will know the exact terminology that other youtubers use.
Sometimes I'm having to pause their vids just to look up what they're talking about.
This vid really speaks to me and I really hope you carry on in the same vein, as its really accessible and be learning what I can from you.
Also I think you hit the nail on the head with your last comments about the improvements needed to the gui, but also that its in its infancy still.
Your channel is excellent and its the best non hyped, plain speaking and honest chia channel im subscribed to.
Keep it up my man, I and I'm sure many others really appreciate the content you create.
How can this guy not have a lot more subscribers! Get this guy on the top of the searches, he deserves it!
Just found out a friend won his first plot yesterday. He had 600 plots in total.
So theres hope !
I feel exactly the same as you are going through right now, as a developer I was pretty much forced to write my own health checks, plotting automation at a scale and constantly trying to improve the whole plotting timing mechanism. I was also using NAS for farming, which ended up in a disaster. Please keep up all these videos as they are really helpful to everyone including myself.
Thanks for sharing about your NAS attempt. I was about to try and setup a NAS server for long term storage. What about RAID in general?
You mention NAS, what was the issue? I have two NAS that I plan using in a few weeks. What was your hiccup? Or was it a full disaster?
Has anyone here actually won any chia?
I appreciate you sharing your success and your challenges. You're right when you say that the journey itself is fulfilling. Learning is so much of the fun. Big 👍 to you and your channel!
This was such a meaningful comment it made my night. Ty sir.
@@SlothTechTV I am a follower of your channel, please subtitle in Spanish
Best video on chia! The lack of professionalism in the Chia app, lack of support features, unpreparedness for Pools while a company in China takes over farming pools, combined with the huge pre-farm executed by the founders is starting to make chia look like fraudulent get rich cash grab with a who cares about the suckers that are farming attitude. It has gotten to the point that I know of a small group of serious users who have started exploring looking into a class action lawsuit.
Same with Helium
@@MD.20.20 why?
So I bought 8 SAS drives and the bus interface following your other video. After the third or fourth time watching it I realized you were doing a software RAID 0 on them in linux, which makes perfect sense. I can't wait to get home and try connecting them all up.
You're a good guy. Thanks for all you efforts and sharing your experience with us.
Thank you very much for your video. You taught us how to plot and now you are teaching us how to farm, which is the most important part of the process. Thank you very much and keep posting videos please!
Great video and really helpful! Yeah the learning curve for Chia is crazy once you really start digging in.
Great suggestions for plot health checks. Learned a lot over the last month of Chia, you're vids specifically helped with the various storage hardware specifics I never knew existed. Keep up the great work(whether that's with chia or other things), it's helped me and surely many others.
Thanks, Kripparrian.
Dude. You are a genuine good person! Thanks for you giving back to the community.
It takes a big man to so publicly admit something like this. I've learnt more about Chia from your videos than I have from anyone else's. Thanks for the great content, keep up the good work!
As someone that is technically minded but knows little about IT this has been a huge undertaking. Having said this i'm glad for you to be the one that is guiding me. I am on the discord as well but i have been playing a lot of catch before i think i can participate. Good luck to all.
Can't tell you how much I appreciate your Chia videos. This has helped me and I'm sure others tremendously. I've gone into Chia farming knowing next to nothing in the CPU/IT arena but always wanted to know. I've learned so much in this trial by fire exercise. Even if I don't make a ton of money the experience and knowledge gained is priceless as you mention. You don't have to share your experiences but you do. THANK YOU for your generocity!
You are saying profound things and probably very rightly. I don't have the level to understand everything going on in IT, but you seem very honest. For that, I really doubt that what you explain to us is false, on the contrary. You and NotAnotherTech Channel are truly the gurus of farming chia. Continue like this. Bravo.
You and NotAnotherTech Channel are awesome people! Great honest content from good people. Thank you. I used one of your videos to help me build a system that made me about 30 plots per day. I'm at 800 plots and no coins, so this video was just what I needed.
Thanks for all the help you have provided!
Whoa he speak from his heart! Thanks man!
Thank you for making this video.
I thought this would be a more accessible crypto to get into, but I just don't have the resources, or expertise, to maintain this "hobby". An IT professional struggles to figure it out? Then I'm definitely in over my head. Better to invest my resources into something I might actually be able to be good at.
I was inspired by your video about making a plotting rig for under a thousand (which I got, btw), but there's just been one hassle after another. And to think that I haven't even gotten into the IT issues that you're facing. This is probably a good time for me to bow out (I can still get refunds on most of the items I purchased, so it's not all lost).
I'll still support your channel, though, you make good and interesting content. I just won't be taking a personal stake in any of these projects from here on out.
The problem with XCH is that you need to keep buying more and more storage. 16-18 TB SATA’s are super expensive now.
It will be hard to break even.
That's why I bought 128 tb 1 month ago
And that's why I've returned 150tb of drives so far with another 100tb yet to return. I had 2 14 core CPUs and 48tb of drives in my Amazon cart minutes away from buying but I watched 2 other ytubers who live in reality and showed how much I'd need to spend just to keep up with the network growth ($2-3k/wk). It's literally not profitable for 99.9% of people
@@stevekalle6969 Which youtubers? mineyourbiz and anyone else?
Man, thanks to you and 2 other channels causing me to investigate chia options, I know how to use sas drives, raid arrays, servers, ubuntu and have a great little chia farm that's cost me sweet f all. Thanks.
LOL that is awesome.
Hey, what are 2 other channels? :D
I have been saying for a couple of years. There is definitely a divide between IT professionals that actually keep their pride in check and ACTUALLLY ACCOMPLISH REAL GOALS, NOT JUST TALK THE TALK.....FYI 90% of these UA-cam content creators are 80% fluff marketing BS, 10% entertainment, and 10% real knowledge or helpful info. Sloth, thanks for this. Keep up the fight!!
Thanks for the truth. Im not an IT person at all. Im a graphic editor. But what I've learned from you and people in your discord, is invaluable! Sometimes I feel like im a pain for asking so many questions. But I'm in now. And the knowledge is making me stronger. So thanks for that. My discord name is THE-REAL-TALON
Love your honesty! Thanks for the knowledge. I did feel like Chia netspace is growing faster than devs thought, causing all these issues. I hope they are ready for scaling!
Man, you are our CHIA master, don't give up. We are all together in this trip, we are a kind of CHIA community, again... Don't give up.
I really wish you had a million followers so Chia would take see these suggestions on their GUI. They are not just improvements, but really necessities. If one can't tell it is working right, then one is just making bricks and thinking its gold.
thankyou for being the front runner.
This is why I subscribed to your channel, because you speak straight truth. Thank you! Please keep doing you Chia videos!
I truly appreciate your honesty, I have been on this journey for six weeks now and have grown extremely frustrated with it too. My life has kinda been consumed by this in the last six weeks, chia is all I have been doing and talking about. I have spent so much money on this journey and managed to cook about 400 plots a day but I have not earned a single coin. Like you I have been troubleshooting this so much. Started from scratch, redos until it all works; so I think until like you find another issue. The one thing I got from this is knowledge, how much have I learned. If I end up making any money on this, for sure it has not been easy at all. Thanks again for posting this!
I don't care what others say, this is a solid channel and I linked the swar how to video like 100 times on discord server ( though could use follow up video for newest swar with new settings)
Not gonna lie, your videos have been shared around with many people on the internet and it has been part of the pump in prices of hardware. I was too slow to the intel ssds. But i enjoyed your videos very much. You are probably the most informative chia activist on youtube!
If I didn't laugh I'd cry.

oh thats perfect maybe i should pin this lol

Awesome shirt!! Great discovery/invention!
ohhhhh i love the fact that someone called this out lol
Shout out to the 2020 Nobel Laureates in chemistry Dr. Jennifer Doudna and Dr. Emmanuelle Charpentier- strong women pioneers doing groundbreaking science that has revolutionized the landscape of genetics research, human health, and medicine!
Sloth so much wisdom coming from you man....keep up the good work.
Well said sir. I started on Chia mid-March as somebody with very little tech experience and it has taught me a great deal. I can definitely relate to a number of your issues! I'm sure the irony isn't lost on you that whilst you've solved the problem many people have - fast plotting to a good $ vs hardware expenditure, numerous other problems that have cropped up along the journey. Good luck that you start to win more consistently going forward, you certainly should do with your farm size. Keep up the great content, shout out from Bristol UK
Thank you man for this video, I agree with every word you said! Hopefully we can have some solution for checking how our plotting is going, because a lot of effort and if something is wrong and we don't know that's really sad.
Thank you one more time!
Speaking of writing your own stuff. I too was doing the same. Brushing up / buffing up my skills in batch and even wrote something for myself in powershell for the first time. I put my chia related batch files up on github in case others were interested in using them. Feel free to check them out and see if anything in my amateur code helps with some of your uses. I'm particularly fond of the timer I wrote that says how long it took to move the plot. It took a lot of work as almost every time I thought I had it working right, something would mess up. Had no idea that 08 cannot be treated as an integer in batch so any time a plot would copy at 8am, it'd mess up the timer. Later on I even upgraded the plot moving script to support fill and spill so multiple directories could be specified to move plots to and the plot would be moved to the first one with enough space for it. Sill no grand programmer or anything, but it certainly made for some frustrating entertainment.
Found you through your magnificent 3d-printed JBOD chassis. Where have you disappeared, dude? Hope you are doing well!
Excellent content, farming Chia in any kind of serious capacity is a full time job! So for the last few weeks I have been doing two full time jobs :D
I personally never comment on YT, but I can't help to thank you for spreading new findings on optimizing the chia setup. After watching a bunch of videos, I've come to conclusion that with the price of hardware increasing by the day, it is not worth to farm Chia as a source of passive income. Though I already made some hardware purchases, it really encouraged me to make use of them to start setting up a homelab just to improve my IT skill. Even with the decision of not farming Chia, your videos are still really helpful! Keep it up!
Another awesome video. I clearly don’t understand much of this technology. However, I enjoy watching and learning something every time I watch this channel. Keep up the great work!
Great content dude! Love your vids. Spot on about security. I also am disappointed that the GUI still doesn't show plots and totals from other harvesters. Def found that using harvesters on the local machines where the plots are helps immensely with lowering plot check times.
Got me right in the feels man. You are super cool.
You know the best videos are those that start with a warning!
Thanks so much! Your hard work was not for nothing. This really helped me
You gave the chills bro! Fantastic Opinion!
I am not great at IT stuff, but this is a huge learning curve for me so far. Only doing about 18 plots a day right now as I don't have a ton of time to troubleshoot and figure this out, but I do plan on taking this seriously and seeing what I can do! I am at 180 plots right now and counting.
I am with you "Sloth tech TV" 100%. I am happy that someone just finally speaks up. I am putting lot of effort into this random endeavour. I am an IT professional myself - nevertheless, it has been a very educational experience. I guess the Chia owners had to scale up incredibly fast with the network booming - but they should expand the team to cover the aspects you mention. Even if they can't fix the issues immediately they should produce workaround videos and technical guides on how to approach those. I was sceptical about installing swar manager wondering is it not sending my certs to some email address. You are doing an extremely good job for us Sloth and I am very grateful for the videos you produce. You are not alone there.
BTW how did you manage to calculate the right rate of queries passing through the filter?
I’ve had the same experience with Chia, mate! Thanks for sharing! In my case, the problem was this:
1) 3 routers in a chain and my chia farmer was connected to the last one
2) sub-optimal speed on the internet plan from the provider
3) family members watching Netflix and other streaming stuff, and downloading things
Thanks for sharing. I'm learning so much watching your videos. Cheers from Brazil.
At first I had some spare hardware to put together, and thought Chia would be fun, since I knew nothing about crypto. Then I realized I could make some money, got excited, then realized it was essentially no money. But so what? Chia has been an engaging learning environment to share with a bunch of other knowledge-hungry nerds. I've found I'm suddenly excited for every new day, the potential hardware reconfigurations, and now optimizing plotting itself with your Swar video. As with so much else, definitely about the journey. Thanks for your effort, it's well received. (PS, nice shirt, biotech FTW!)
i love the story ty for sharing it :)
Thanks for your sincerity
Well said. Been building a farm for 2 weeks and yeah it's definitely not simple even as a 20 year IT Pro. I agree 100% with the premise of the value of learning. I found myself thinking the other day that this is the mental gymnasium I need to keep my skills sharp. Either that or a huge distraction from actual work ;) I really appreciate you sharing the gotchas you experienced. I have been wondering if my farmer is effectively farming. Now I have a couple metrics to look into at least. Cheers!
15+ years in various support roles within IT, I've dabbled with some interesting things I've never played with before thanks to the Chia Project, but yeah I'd love to score a couple of chia :P . I knew not to go balls to the wall dumping thousands of bucks into any rigs/equipment. I did get to play with some of my server equipment in a fashion I never was able to before.
This. This is exactly what i mean -- Its honestly more valuable in the things you learn that will last you forever.
@@SlothTechTV Yes sir!
Just subbed, thanks for your honest thoughts!! A very refreshing attitude.
Some of the dell server T*20 and T*10 series towers are still at pretty good prices too. For the HP SAS expander, you can run it dual linked by plugging your HBA into ports 8 and 9, but you need an HBA that supports dual linking like the LSI SAS2008 chip found in several cheap dell, HP, and IBM cards. I run a SFF-8088 to 8087 cable from my HBA to the SAS expander ports 8 and 9, this should effectively double the bandwidth between the drives and computer. I mention this because I noticed in your HBA and SAS expander video you plugged into the external 8088 port on the SAS expander.
Agree with you 100% on this. Great observations - its a journey!
Great video. Thanks for sharing struggles. I am planning on starting my farm in the next coming weeks and this video provided insight for me.
We are precisely on the same wavelength
I'm guessing on this occasion that is a bad thing lol.. im sorry :(
@@SlothTechTV From one IT guy to another - I concur with everything you said here. I will remain vigilant and keep plotting/farming but if I get a reward, I get a reward. I did receive a block reward around 83 plots and thankful for it because I sold for a total of $3100 at the time. I don't plan to sell any more I get. Largely regarding learning more. I've been doing IT professionally for many years myself and still learned a thing or two in this journey lol
Loving the Journey so far. Thanks for sharing personal information. If you have not already, please push this need to Chia and feel free to hitup your youtube community if you need people thumbs upping to get these features built.
Only a couple min in but what you say about the journey along the way is exactly why I got into this. I've wanted to build a home server for quite some time, for any number of reasons. None of them are probably "worth it" xD . I've loved seeing what the refurbished enterprise market has to offer and it's perfect for me to have some fun, learn some things, and tinker around.
This video earned my subscription. I appreciate the intellectual honesty
I agree; I started mining at scale since 2016, and I believe the most valuable thing I have gained over the years is a lot of knowledge in subject matter I never would have learned otherwise; starting with CPU, to GPU, to FPGA, ( which forced me to stop being Linux retarted ), to ASIC'S, to IoT mining, then to 5G mining, ( Linux again ), and now Chia; which has me learning again; I never even heard of SAS Hard Drives; and now; accidentally I have two, ( 2 ) WD 10TB Hard Drives and no SAS Controllor boards to run them; I think I might be able to put an x4 PCIe adapter in an M.2 slot to then put a SAS Controllor board in; but I am still trying to research that; I am close to pulling the trigger on buying a Dell T7910 system which as I understand has the SAS connection I need to make use of the drives; instead of trying to get adapter(s) that may not work after all.
On another note; I have 25 plots; and show 0/25 so something is wrong based on this content you just provided; so I am going to have to figure out why.
Peace
When people say it will be a learning experience, it means you won't make money at best and you will lose money as a guarantee. The more specific points someone can give you about any subject will give you a better basis to establish a reference point for you to reach some type of objective. Do not make any goal subjective or variable and you can more accurately estimate and accomplish your goals.
Bingo!
Mate, before I go any further with Chia or not, I am subscribed as of now because you seem a great bloke, I like your beliefs and genuine interest in tech. Sometimes I follow the person not the ideal project and definitely not the price, as you Time w/ effort Always works!! but let's goooooo....... I get excited with anything new and I've already learnt some great hardware advice. Best of luck going forward my man 🤟
Great vid, man. Thanks for sharing your journey with us :) Cheers from Brazil
As a noob trying to engage with crypto generally and Chia farming in particular, your insights have been invaluable. You have been my bridge between the unintelligible and the possible. What I mean is without your helpful insights, I would never have purchased the kit and put it together. I’m a mature (poor) PhD student, so a return on my investment is a concern, but… The main point is that decentralisation requires that people like me get on this learning curve and help shape the future. All reliable theories of learning indicate that a good tutor supports the acquisition of complex knowledge. You are such a tutor; I thank you for sharing your knowledge so freely. Yes, I do want a profit (however modest) from farming, but that’s now the secondary short term goal (I have to eat too); the bigger picture is I’m starting to see how decentralisation could pull societies into more positive directions for the benefit of all.
Thank you for all your work that helps me with all my work!
I don't often comment on UA-cam, but wanted to thank you for being honest and sharing. I'm frustrated as well and have been trying to make sense of the time and effort and costs I put into all this. I am surrounded by luddites that don't see the future and can not comprehend the technology and deep impact this will make fir us in the future. I like your point of view and I feel the same way. We are gaining allot of valuable experience and also getting in early on some valuable skillsets. A few of my brothers call cryptocurrency ponzi schemes, but stay quiet about the fact that I have made thousands simply dabbling in mining, trading and staking. The important part here is that you need to maintain a balance and not risk more than you can afford to loose while at the same time optimizing your efforts for gain. And yes, I'm not synching suddenly, after plotting a couple hundred plots. It is so frustrating....
If I could upvote the idea in reddit so that dev's can see it, I would definitely do it!
Great point on tools needed! Chia just raised $50 million in VC funding.... they clearly have the $ to spend on additional tools to make sure that the network is working properly.
Saying it’s all about the journey and not the destination is so corny but so true 😂
I just subscribed for the honesty and sane/middle-of-the-path views.
Nicely done. Trying to farm chia myself and everyday I'm managing and solving problems I would have never been solving.. Definitely will join the discord.
Also, you have a new subsriber. Have a nice day 🤞🏻
Shit, I just downloaded the gui and started plotting, I can't plot that much because my chip is to old but I still have 80 plots now. I'm going to check the logs now, thanks. I need to join that discord too
Have you started fiddling with a plot manager? Plus managers make plotting more efficient after you've spent some time really fiddling.That's where you will start getting comfortable with command prompt and then you won't use the gui for chia and you get a lot more options that way. Like 'chia plots check' to see if all your plots are actually healthy or not by giving them 3p proofs and seeing how many it can solve and how fast it can solve them.
Ha! too late brudda, I already ran into a freight train head-on getting things working properly & not being able to keep up with the network growth anyway. Lol! However, it has definitely been an amazing journey so far. Thanks for all your videos
Dude, thank you for this. I had never looked at my log before because the gui showed I was synced. Come to find out I've had nothing but double spend errors for the last 2 weeks. I thought everything was working and it's been doing absolutely nothing. Now i'm able to at least try and fix it. If I hadn't seen this I would have just assumed it was working and I just hadn't won anything.
I agree with most of what you are saying. They need to fix the reward system however, and this is not about money, but working without some sense of victory get old. All journeys have a destination or ending and eventually a sense for whether they were worth while.
Nice work man, keep up the spirit, have a nice weekend!!
Maybe the real Lambo was the friends we made along the way.
Man you gutted me lmaoooo can't stop laughing remembering all those lambo soon and to the moon i have heard.
LOL!
Great video mate and spot on, at 800 plots i still haven't gotten anything and often find myself writing software fixes and .NET applications to check plot quality to optimise as much as i can.
The only thing keeping me coding is the hope haha
I'm not in IT but I did get a degree in computer programming.... about 20 years ago. Yes the struggle mentally, and financially it's real. I've got a baby farm so far but every week I work on what I'm doing wrong and how I could do it better. Thank you so very much as you've been a HUGE help to me!
He has a point mining can be profitable in certain circumstances but you have to put work in for initial cost and I recognized I learned a ton while trying to farm chia
Man, are you ok? where are you? Missing your videos dude. Hope you are good.
Thanks for the comment --
This is awesome content. Keep up the amazing work.
Thank you for being upfront and honest with us. From all of the following builds I’ve seen they are always running top of the line CPUs and the latest and greatest hardware. Your budget approach is actually sold me into trying out chia. This was the first time I have ever dealt with Linux. That was a good learning experience. There are plenty of videos about component selection and builds. What the Linux noobs, such as myself, could benefit from is a detailed and comprehensive software installation and configuration and hardware configuration too. Say you have a couple NVMEs that you don’t have set to raid0 for plotting, how do you set up Chia Blockchain or Plotman to utilize separate drives and separate destination drives? If you have dual CPUs, do you just view it as one large threaded CPU? I would love to see in detail how you configured you “older” Dell systems. It would help our community IMO. Thanks again for all your hard work!!
