I've been toying with Chia for the past two weeks and while the idea sounds okay, the software written in Python is a complete dumpster fire. The version 1.0.4 refuses to connect, corrupts the database, exhausts your RAM, stops working randomly, or creates your "farming plots" with SOMEONE ELSES mining address. Can't believe they got investment for this. Satoshi, while acknowledging he is not a programming expert, wrote better software in his spare time and on his own.
Well guess what post main-net the blockchain still can't sync
The gui doesn't work
The install scripts were not tested on common platforms
Its a sw development management fiasco, who said this team had developed commercial software in the past? Bittorrent was never commercial, it was a 10+ year open-source project
Now the plotting software burn's up NVME drives at the rate of one every two weeks if your plotting 24/7, yep somebody put a lot of effort into this garbage.
