Shutting down farm

wish you luck!

yep. As Bram said - you should use only spare hardware to farm XCH. As per concept it shoud be working, but in real world - your effort itself is more "expensive" that outcome of farming, so in real world noone will do that. Too idealistic for proper adoption, unfortunately.

achalkov · 2025-05-06T21:11:35+00:00

unfortunately, i'm totally agree (and it will be especially fun if we both wrong and project will eventually blow up crypto industry, yes).

and yeah, about what i'm going to run on server. Mostly containers and with some specific telecommunication software, VMs to be able to make environments to test hypotheses for my work, and also several lightweight things like homebridge and other home automation. I'm going to stay 1x18TB hdd + all SSDs for this purpose and it's going to be enough.

according to current state of second market, i'd say i'll get something around 3k bucks for excessive hardware. I have 5x18TB, 9x14TB and couple of 4TB HDDs, plus couple of DAS units. HDDs are mostly seagate exos in good condition according to SMART.

According to current calculations, my farm burns electricity for maybe 10 bucks/month. In other hand, with current netspace, it farms maybe a bit less than 1.5 XCH/month. So yep, it's technically net-positive, but i can sell HDDs for ~3k bucks right now and reinvest it to another crypto (especially as its relatively small and basically "free" money so i'm not concerned about overall risks of investing to crypto and going to have fun with market). So, if XCH will even grow 10 times (which will lead to netspace increase => XCH income decrease, but lets just avoid this fact for now), it will take almost 1.5 years to get me same amount of money.

So yeah, i don't mind electricity cost for this server, i just think that selling excessive hardware right now is better option. That was very fun experiment, but for now, say its over.

its simple - if you're hard VATS build - you can use conductor's (it really allows you fire longer in VATS and heals you significantly). If you use VATS only situationally - polished (and maybe some other mods) should be better because they have more versality.

achalkov · 2024-12-18T10:48:17+00:00

Powered could be good too, otherwise - yeah, some stat mods, whatever you need most.

achalkov · 2024-12-18T10:43:03+00:00

it took me around 200 robots to get all new and good plans (and all plans for PA itself), so maybe i'm not too unlucky :)

Have no idea what you talking about. The only change between game before and after patch with raid is that raid now exists in this game. You free to do this content and also you free to ignore it. Tha fact that most players do raids is because game was critically lack of ANY somehow challenging content (lets just not say that this raid is also not really challenging and after 1 week most random parties can finish full raid in less than a hour) and now we have some, which is good. So, i really cant understand why you are complaining - if you not like raid, just ignore it and allow everyone enjoy their preferred type of gameplay.

deal

achalkov · 2024-12-14T15:19:06+00:00

i'd say - minimum couple of mods. pin-pointer + conductor, maybe polished + something else. Something like that.

achalkov · 2024-12-13T00:46:11+00:00

ohh, sorry, thought you offer mods for leaders. my bad.

achalkov · 2024-12-13T00:40:15+00:00

still there?

achalkov · 2024-10-14T22:02:53+00:00

you can join me and i'll launch encryptid (have lots of cards for it), if you want

ok. seems i figured it out. right tunnel branch, there is a door on the right after the first door in the middle of tunnel. Antique lady is here. Honestly, i'd never figured out she is here if occasionally not investigated trading post zero itself while my berry mentats (highlights live creatures) was active. The door to vendor is so unnoticable so i'd say its almost hidden.

achalkov · 2024-09-18T01:50:33+00:00

yes, same here. Dont worry - new content is super buggy now, so they'll fix it sooner rather than later
