Why are you trying to get your brother to triple his electric bill?
I really donât care about your opinion, so keep it for yourself.
The point is that OG plots still work as described, and that particular pool is just an aggregation of smaller farmers (nowhere I stated that you should join it).
What you have provided so far is some old whining lady anecdote that is rather useless as far as generalization, especially in the context of this forum.

Mind you, my best month was 14 blocks.
Thatâs 28 XCH in one month.
Iâd say suck on that, but Iâll never ever see that again so I guess jokes on me, right?
No, I am the proof that OG uncompressed plots are worthless.
Donât be a vatnik.
Sorry, but you have no idea, he wonât be trippling his electric bill.
A Tesla P4 uses at absolute most 75w (it wonât draw this continuously and I suspect will peak much less), he would have 2.11 times his farm size (doubling his income). This would need 7 times 22TB drives to do the same, that would be 56w increase constantly running.
When I added a 3060 to my server, I saw about a 25% increase in power use.
As for OG plots not winning, please explain why at the moment this OG pools average effort is 78%, clearly they are winning blocks.

Its quite clear from your replies youâre annoyed at your situation, and either donât fully understand or just plain donât want to admit it, so yes the joke is on you.
The going got tuff, and you gave up.
Your brother is going to pay, and pay dearly.
From that chart, you can see clearly when I took the most consumptive drives offline.
And I NEVER WENT COMPRESSED.
Meaning, those costs are OG costs. Theyâd be triple if I went compressed.
Get real, whoever you are. Chia is a losing concern.
That chart is meaningless, its your house as a whole, and in no way indicates what youâre farm is using, or is youâre power bill just for your farm and running on gas a well.
PS. I probably know far more about power consumption than you, I built my own 29 kWh of battery storage, and added an additional 4.74 kW of solar panels, giving me a total 8.74 kW, and currently planning to add another 12 to 16 panels 
When I measure the power use of something, Iâll use a Kilowatt meter over a period of time, and average it out, not use my electricity bill - what a joke.
Youâre clearly just trolling.

You canât go from âChia is the Green!â to âokay, itâll cost as much to the environment as any other cryptoâ and not expect blowback.
Or is that how people think nowadays, that their failing adventures should never be criticized?
Iâm not trolling, Iân angry.
And I have a right to be.
Glad you know about power. The day you have my IQ will never, ever happen.
Lost the argument, so now youâve resorted to vague insults.
Good luck with the sale.
My judgement will always be far behind my actual raw intelligence. So Iâm screwed, same as you.
I wonât sell those drives, you and I both know that.
Iâd rather burn them.
You could sell those drives, you just need to advertise them in the correct place.
Would you take a car and try and sell it at a car auction for forecourt price? No, youâd never achieve the price.
Yet you clearly know a large proportion of Chia farmers have lost money, so you try and sell them drives at high prices (compared to other options available), being top of the range drives is irrelevant to us.
Years of experience often trumps IQ, perhaps its time to listen to a wise older man, although not that wise as I got in to Crypto!

Am I some sort of naive monster for asking a fair price? Someone else can make use of these drives, Iâm not trying to screw them.
We all know what we got into. Some of us want out.
Where do you live that has that electric bill?

No you are not a naive monster, but you are completely missing the point, Iâm not sure if this intentional or not.
Youâre just asking too much for the audience here, we can buy bigger drives cheaper with a warranty, you need to sell them where people are willing to pay youâre asking price, its perfectly possible to get what you want, just not here.
Donât take my word for it.
