Chia's design philosophy is the overall best in my opinion. Actually trying to make a useful cryptocurrency rather than just pure speculative vehicle of other shitcoins.
How is Chia useful? I just looked at their website and don't see what differentiates from other cryptocurrency. I see you mine with hard drive space rather than compute (like FileCoin) but I don't get why this would be useful.
That means it doesn't have the same cost as bitcoin. That says nothing about why Chia coin is useful. Can I do anything with it, or is it one of those things where I buy it now in the hopes other people will buy it from me for more later?
I don't know if anybody has done the math on how much energy/CO2 it costs to construct a hard drive vs. used in PoW mining with GPUs or ASICs but I'd love to see it.
They haven't decided Chia is the one; big miners have been rushing into every new coin that launches, including Filecoin and now Chia. It's a "deal flow" approach where you mine 50 shitcoins and hope one pops 1000x.
