Crypto - Chia - Pools

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 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

CLI: chia plotnft create -s local

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.

chia plotnft create -u https://eu1.pool.space -s pool

NOTE: This will create the NFT against the specific pool.

Create NFT Plots

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

chia plots create -c abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890

NOTE: The -c parameter must be filled with the P2 singleton address (pool contract address).

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