====== Crypto - Chia - Pools ======

<WRAP info>
**NOTE:**  You need to have about 100 mojos in your Chia wallet in order to join a Chia pool.

  * 1 mojo = 1 trillionth of a XCH.

See [[Crypto:Chia:Faucets|Faucets]] to get free MOJO.

  The block reward is divided into two components:

  * The 1.75 XCH pool portion and the 0.25 XCH farmer portion.
    * The 0.25 XCH will go to your farmer target address, which is the same as the OG plots.

===== Space Pool =====

===== Create Pool NFT =====

==== Self pooling ====

<code bash>
CLI: chia plotnft create -s local
</code>

<WRAP info>
**NOTE:**  This is different than OG (original) plots, since OG plots are locked in to self farming forever. 

  * This NFT will not be connected to any pools.

  * Even if this option is used, a pool can still be joined later.
  * The plots for this can be switch to that pool at any moment.

  * Any XCH earned (1.75 XCH) will go directly into your wallet.

==== Against a Pool ====

<code bash>
chia plotnft create -u https://eu1.pool.space -s pool
</code>


<WRAP info>
**NOTE:** This will create the NFT against the specific pool.

Determine Pool NFT Details.

<code bash>
chia plotnft show

<code bash>
...
Wallet Id: 2
Current Pool URL:  https://eu1.pool.space
P2 singleton address (pool contract address for plotting): abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890
...
</code>

===== Create NFT Plots =====

Create plots as usual but now with extra option **-c**.

<code bash>
chia plots create -c abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890  
</code>

<WRAP info>
**NOTE:**  The **-c** parameter must be filled with the **P2 singleton address (pool contract address)**.

  * This address can be found using the **chia plotnft show** command.

  * When plotting for pooling, do NOT use the **-p** argument anymore, only **-c**.
  * Other arguments have not changed.
