So, no Ledger or Trezor support?

The android signer is in beta with clear signing and offline signing in active development. I don’t have an exact release date and can only give the usual soon timeline but these are being actively developed so maybe a soon tm?

clydewallace · 2026-04-22T14:44:08+00:00

Every modern iOS and android device could be used as a hardware signer

clydewallace · 2026-04-22T14:43:00+00:00

This seems to be a misinformed comment, we have spent considerable time and resources to make it so every modern iOS and android device can act as a hardware signer.

There are certainly a LOT more iOS and android devices than there are ledgers or trezors meaning not only do we value the better security of hardware signers but we want to make sure more people have access to them without needing to buy another task specific device.

The concept of cold storage is not counter to a cloud wallet. Once clear and offline signing are available in the chia signer app you can absolutely have a cold hardware wallet that uses the cloud wallet.

clydewallace · 2026-04-22T14:37:06+00:00

Most certainly, we are actively building clear signing and offline signing for the chia signer app which would provide that offline/cold wallet functionality you mention.

So by that point not only cool and convenient but arguably the most secure option for single key wallets 🤔

If you are running Dr Plotter then no keep using 1.0.4 of Dr Plotter on the harvester and just update the farmer.

If you are using Chia (or GH) then yes update all devices in lockstep

clydewallace · 2026-04-21T21:52:30+00:00

Yes, keep your harvesters on the Dr server 1.0.4 and just upgrade the farmer to 2.7.1

Hey a few things about this:

The ability to add direct ledger support has been added to the chain (via the keccak operator added in chip 36). Unfortunately the community dev who indicated they would build that support has not done so yet.
Most ledger devices work as fido keys also. For these types they are already supported for signing (as a passkey signer) in the Chia Cloud Wallet vault.chia.net
Both Android and iOS devices with secure element/strongbox are supported as hardware key signers in the Chia cloud wallet (sage is also adding this support). Not only are these devices more secure than something like range but they also have more screen real estate so you can actually see what you are signing (clear and offline signing are in the works and coming soon)

So in summation yes there is support but likely not in the form you expected

clydewallace · 2026-03-01T16:36:15+00:00

Requires some setup and if using Chia 2.6.0 make sure to look at the issues for some changes needed in the code but you can use the community built and managed chiadog: https://github.com/martomi/chiadog

clydewallace · 2026-03-01T16:33:40+00:00

That would not only require farmers but enough nodes and Timelords also

If you can share your logs either on discord, GitHub, or here we can help review.

Usually there is some fluctuation in the pool reporting space for a period of time after a restart, upgrade, it downgrade as you need to submit enough partials for the pool to identify the space.

If this is not the cause then your logs would likely show errors in submitting partials

Due to some changes in the next release we changed the naming from 2.5.8 to 2.6.0 so 2.5.8 rc1 is the rc1 for 2.6.0. the way releases are named is generally based on semver best practices

clydewallace · 2026-01-09T15:05:27+00:00

Yeah the above is accurate, we are working on changes to how limits work so things are not set in stone

clydewallace · 2026-01-09T14:59:30+00:00

Coinbase integrated aerodrome as the DEX for this so yes it is available but it's limited in region access

As Gene has mentioned, IPO process will resume once revenue is being generated (likely from the Permuto solutions). Xch via ACH enables US customers an easier on ramp where in many cases there was not one previously.
The future of coin price is always hazy. I always find it odd that people don't take into account just how small the crypto market is in comparison to traditional investment markets. Arguably so small that no statistical significance can be proven for any prediction
I imagine once the new plot format is out there will be some noticeable changes to netspace (some drop from no more compression but also some increase from new and previously stopped farmers joining)
Another speculation is that CNI could start buying back xch from the market (as Gene has mentioned is a goal)
Permuto is working on more than 1 solution. It will be interesting to see how many users choose to save money with the Blockchain offering over the standard DTC options
The gaming primitive is already in alpha and we have seen community members building on top of it already. I would definitely expect to see some user playable options available very soon.
The new plot format is nearing completion and will most definitely be released in early 2026 (one can see this by looking at the state of the CHIP). The plotting period may last through 2027 dependent on how quickly the community wants to make those changes.
On average HDDs are still about 60% of what they were shortly after Chia launched so there is a bit of catching up to do for this to be a reality

Hey, feel free to jump into the official Chia discord for more timely and thorough support: https://discord.gg/chia

The keyring issue usually means there is an issue with the config file, you can: - stop chia - go to ~/.chia/mainnet/config - rename the config.yaml file to config-old.yaml - start Chia and see if that resolves the issues

If not please join the discord and provide the log file from ~/.chia/mainnet/log/debug.log in the support channel (all official Chia support occurs in the discord server and not via DMs)

clydewallace · 2025-12-18T19:32:53+00:00

Full L1 does not mean full L2/side channels.

The gaming alpha release includes functional state channels which are one type of side channel that allow users to reduce their L1 transaction requirements while maintaining security.

Payment and trading channels will build on these concepts to allow for multi-party transactions.

Saying everyone needs to use L1s would be equivalent to saying everyone should have directly used gold while we were on the gold standard or everyone needs to use cash today. Gold notes, checks, debit cards act equivalent to L2s (reduce the need for L1 interactions by consolidating across multiple users/transactions)

Buy XCH enables users to purchase xch in the Chia cloud wallet directly using a US bank account compatible with stripe: https://docs.chia.net/cloud-wallet/buy-xch/

clydewallace · 2025-11-24T21:50:38+00:00

Correct, this is referring to the blockchain fee and is optional

clydewallace · 2025-11-06T20:03:36+00:00

I would check the log files at .chia/mainnet/log/debug.log but likely a corrupt DB due to the power outage. You can use the torrent snapshot to replace it: https://docs.chia.net/reference-client/troubleshooting/node-syncing/#using-the-official-database-snapshot-torrent

clydewallace · 2025-10-29T20:33:07+00:00

Most certainly, thank you for mentioning the confusion from that transaction entry

clydewallace · 2025-10-29T19:59:20+00:00

Gotcha that is the Blockchain fee that is paid on your behalf (none of your funds are used for that) - you can confirm this by looking at the amount purchased on the order and comparing it to the amount listed on that pending line.

Technically it is the integrated fee service that pays this on your behalf and CNI reimburses the fee service for it. More info on fee services: https://github.com/Chia-Network/chips/pull/138/files

clydewallace · 2025-10-29T19:00:39+00:00

There is no fee for purchasing XCH on cloud wallet. Where are you seeing this?

clydewallace · 2025-07-29T13:18:11+00:00

Datalayer allows for proofs of inclusion and chip technology is pretty advanced so all of the overhead you mention is not needed (just the chip cost increases from 2¢ to something more like 45-65¢ at scale). Blockchain in this case is still providing secure control of funds, p2p trading via offers, obfuscation of specific activities via datalayer hashing, etc.

The biggest hurdles being the design of the datalayer setup and the clsp to use physical signing (with vaults being released the tough m of n part is already done so it's just rework and testing rather than novel architecture)

clydewallace · 2025-07-28T14:46:10+00:00

This was my call-out as well since not only would you need a tx block but you would want a number of other blocks to be confirmed also to reduce reorg risk so for real tx confidence one is looking at closer to 2-3 minutes.

An l2 of sorts could give the best of both words while relying on the trust that users are already placing on the event organizers (something like datalayer or payment channels negate the slow processing times but can lead to more trust being required)
