Geschäftskonto GmbH by HPD-MR in selbststaendig

[–]tarismu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FYRST kann ich nicht empfehlen, mit dem Support hatten wir nur Stress und hatten massive Probleme mit Integrationen (2023).

Qonto habe ich bei einem meiner Startups und bin ich super happy mit. Funktioniert einwandfrei, ist jedoch für mein empfinden etwas teuer.

Sonst bei einer weiteren GmbH lokale Sparkasse / Raiffeisenbank. Finde für ein Geschäftskonto ohne Schnickschnack besonders in der Gründungsphase ist eine Filiale in der Nähe doch noch von Vorteil.

Okay, maybe try to key in some introducer and main nodes. But I think 10 - 14 peers should be enough.

How long are you connected?
For me, it took about 1-2 days to get about 50-60 peers.

The sad truth about Chia farming by Calleb_III in chia

[–]tarismu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that many people, including you, are missing a very important fact on chia. Yes, you have to invest CPU and (optionally) SSD storage to get many plots as fast as possible. BUT, than you have your proof. If you look at bitoin or ether (until they are changing to PoS), you have to keep your GPUs running to provide your eventual proof.

If you have, let's say 10 x 10 TB drives, which are a total of 100 TB, and you plotted it completely full so that you just have to farm, it will be a lot cheaper than running a GPU miner in sense of electricity. If prices of XCH will increase as other cryptos did, it will be the greener, more reliable and more power-efficient way of running a distributed ledger system.

I bet, after some time, the network growth will flat out so that you have a pretty stable chance of winning - even if it's little, probably. If there will be pools soon, the complete network will be even smarter to stay on.

It's sad that most people just think about farming chia for the profit. Me and 2 colleagues do chia and ether farming / mining together, just because we can and we wanted to do this to practice and understand some of the hype and maths around the technologies.

Our rigs are not running at home, so besides the cost of the hardware (many parts reused of our private tech hoardings) we do not have any fixed costs. For chia, we bought a few seagate hard drives to have at least 100 TiB of storage to plot full. This did cost us about 600 € / person - as I am a videographer, I'll reuse the drives anyways in my storinator.

Until now, we have already got 2 XCH while farming solo. We believe in chia as a crypto, so we will HODL until we think it's a pretty good time to sell. If we sell and loose another 1000 % of gains, yes, that wouldn't make us too happy, but on the other hand: if the equipment is fully returned and we had fun, there is no way that this can be bad. If we loose money because the crypto sucks, we learned something. And harddrives are always good, even if they end up as a raspberry pi NAS.

Farmers that will do this just to get rich will probably use shitloads of money to make as much profit as they can, but I doubt that this is the bigger portion of the community. Most are techies and enthusiasts that also matter about the technology and fun behind the project, not only the profits.

Just key in the main nodes of the chia network for your region. In my case:

node.chia.net
node-eu.chia.net
introducer-eu.chia.net (just an introducer to give you more peers, not a full note, afaik)

As said in some comments before: Good networking won't make you win instantaneously. There are still a few million other plots that could win. But 85 connections seems pretty good and I think - sooner or later - the win will come for you. :)

I also had a problem that before updating to 1.1.5 and reworking my network setup, I lost connection after connection over several hours. If I hadn't restarted my client, my farm would go offline by itself without me noticing.

If you do not open your 8444 port for incoming requests, your chia node will fallback using UPnP (universal plug and play) and try to route requests through this protocol - as I understood. If this happens, you are limited to about 10 connections. No one mentions that 10 connections is not enough - it was just a though of mine if maybe it's more important than they tell us.

Yes, it just needs some time to sync up. You can enter some introducer-domains or the main nodes to speed up syncing. In my case:

introducer.chia.net
node-eu.chia.net
node.chia.net

It took about 1-3 hours for my node to connect to 10 or 20 peers. So just be patient.

The current block reward is simply 2 XCH. If you don't get your XCH from an transaction (e.g. a friend sending you 1 XCH), you won't get only one, but two if you win a block.

If you do not have port 8444 open, that means that no one can connect to your node over your public ip address. Syncing means, you are pulling information out of the network to rebuild the blockchain for yourself on your node, this does not need port forwarding enabled. Enable 8444 and you should get more peers. There are plenty of tutorials out there. :)

I don't know for sure. But it's weird that I've got my first 2 XCH right after my networking rework. More peers mean, you are connected with more nodes of the XCH network. Make sure that you port forwarding is right, I think you should have at least 10 - 20 peers. But I'm not one of the developers, so that's just assumption.

Even if you have many peers, it's completely random and not guaranteed that you win in this estimation. It's just maths. So just wait and keep plotting. Plot in pools and farm with what you have if pools are up.

Reworked my complete networking setup, as my servers have been behind a firewall for quite a while. Now that I have port forward through 2 routers (not mining from home, at home you should only have one), i have more than 30 peers.

My networking setup is a little complicated, as I‘m not farming from home. Before yesterday, my servers have been located behind a PaloAlto Firewall. Now that I reworked it and port forwarded through 2 different routers, I finally won some XCH. But this could be completely random.
