 ====== Crypto - Chia - CLI - Run ======
+===== Use tmux (Optional) =====
+Using tmux will help ensure chia runs even after a disconnect:
+<code bash>
+tmux new -s plot          # Activate a virtual environment named plot.
+</code>
+<WRAP info>
+**NOTE:**
+  * Install tmux is not already installed: <code bash>
+sudo apt install tmux -y
+</code>
+An alternative to using tmux is to use **screen**.
+</WRAP>
+----
+===== Activate the virtual environment =====
+<code bash>
+cd chia-blockchain
+. ./activate
+</code>
+----
+===== Start the services =====
+<code bash>
+chia start farmer
+</code>
+<WRAP info>
+**NOTE:**  This will start the farmer, harvester, a full node, and the wallet.
+  * **node**:  This syncs your computer with the blockchain.
+  * **farmer**:  The farmer sends out proof requests to the harvester.
+  * **harvester**:  The harvester checks your plots to see if they satisfy the proof.
+    * If you have the best proof, you win coins.
+  * Adding **-r** at the end of the command will restart the service.
+</WRAP>
+----
+===== Add additional nodes =====
+<code bash>
+chia show -a node.chia.net:8444
+chia show -a node-eu.chia.net:8444
+chia show -a introducer-eu.chia.net:8444
+</code>
+----
+===== Check that nodes are connected =====
+<code bash>
+chia show -c | grep FULL_NODE
+</code>
+returns:

+===== Start plotting =====
+Identify which drive you want to do the plotting on.
+<WRAP important>
+**WARNING:**  It is not a good idea to do this on the drive that your boot lives on.
+</WRAP>
+<code bash>
+chia plots create -k 32 -b 8192 -r 4 -n 20 -t /chia-temp/ -d /chia
+chia plots create -k 32 -b 4000 -r 4 -n 20 -t /chia-temp/ -d /chia
+or
+chia plots create -k 32 -n 20 -t /chia-temp/ -d /chia/
+</code>
+<WRAP info>
+**NOTE:**
+  * **k 32**:  The size of plot.
+    * Minimum is 32.
+  * **n 20**:  The number of plots in sequence.
+  * **t /chia-temp/**:  The temporary directory, where the plot gets generated.
+    * This will have heavy Reads and Writes.
+    * Ideally this should be on a faster drive.
+  * **d /chia**:  The final destination directory, where the final plot files will stay to be farmed.
+    * A slower disk is fine here.
+</WRAP>
+<WRAP info>
+**NOTE:**  To disconnect from tmux:  <code bash>
+CTRL-b d
+</code>
+  * To reattach: <code bash>
+tmux a -t plot
+</code>
+</WRAP>
+----
+<WRAP info>
+This it! You are now generating plots.
+As soon as a plot finishes, the farmer that will pick it up and start farming.
+</WRAP>
+----
+===== Verify that farming is working =====
+Verify this you can run while having the venv activated:
+<code bash>
+chia farm summary
+</code>
+Initially you should see something like this:
+<code bash>
+Farming status: Farming
+Total chia farmed: 0.0
+User transaction fees: 0.0
+Block rewards: 0.0
+Last height farmed: 0
+Plot count: 4
+Total size of plots: 405.432 GiB
+Estimated network space: 2185.329 PiB
+Expected time to win: 2 years and 11 months

+===== Check Chia Node Status (Syncing with Blockchain) =====
+<code bash>
+chia show -s
