#Chia miners / farmers are re-selling their used #SSDs as new. Because Chia involves lots of writes to the underlying flash memory, it can wear SSDs out quickly.
@moon@shitposter.club and @guizzy have mentioned that it is something like bingo cards with hashes, but AFAIK, the "farmers" aren't paying anything besides the cost of buying and operating computers with lots of disk space, so the question remains: who is supposedly paying into the pot from which #Chia farmers' rewards are paid out?
As long as they don't have an answer, I see #ChiaCoin as a very short-term thing, and likely to create a damaging wave when it suddenly fails.
This is where the robot from "Lost in Space" tries to warn the kid to keep him out of danger. **DANGER, WILL ROBINSON. DANGER!**
