Hello, I’m selling my entire farm. Right now I’m farming Chives but unfortunately, I can’t afford to have this “money” with almost no movement in the short time.
I got 30 XCH and about 200K of XCC and I’ve never used a pool. I’m interested to sell all together so it’d be great for somebody who wants to start plotting/farming as soon as possible.
I’ve created a blog post about it, about one year ago, so you can get more of the details here. Also, all the hardware is 100% functional and I started to plotting with RAM very fast so the Nvme disks are in a great condition.
If you are interested, I can give you more details.
Hardware (from the post):
- 5 plotters machines: 4 of them are very similar with 8 core CPU and 32 RAM and the one on the left is a 500 USD experiment which is giving me about 12 plots daily (ChiaNet: Build & Install Guide: Budget Plotting Build - $500 - 1.3 TB/day). The three of the right I got them from an ETH miner who bought them to take off the credit card. So I was very lucky to find this guy with a complimentary hobby. I got them for about 700 USD each and I needed to buy the NVME disks, 16GB more RAM, and very cheap graphics cards just to start the machines, because I manage them using SSH. (I’ve added more RAM to the plotters)
- 70x 8TB Seagate from Costco. I got them for 120 USD each and I was lurking several Costco places and doing experiments to buy them fast. There was an online limit of 3 units so I bought them all from the stores. Fortunately in Utah, I didn’t have a lot of competition and there were plenty of disks in any Costco place I visited. The Costco URL is not working anymore but as a reference, this is the disk.
- SATA Disks: I got 1x18TB, 1x16TB, 4x14TB Seagate Exos disks. I got them previously the prices went up. For example I bought the 18TB one at 399 USD. 18 TB Link. diskprices.com is a good place to check HDD prices. As a reference, my 8TB disks were 15 USD/TB.
- NVME disks: 1x 4GB, 2x 2GB, 2x 1GB and 2x512GB. I did some experiments trying to figure out what is the best combination. Until now the best result I got it from the 1 TB disks using RAID 0.
- Some NVME PCI adapters. Some motherboards I have only have one of these ports. These double ones work pretty good Amazon Link.
- Two Mr ironstone bar table 47’’ tables and 4 Long heavy-duty power strip 16 from Amazon. I put them together because I was extremely lucky that the size of them is almost the same, so it was very easy to put the strip under the tables. Table link and Strip link.
- Two UPS Cyberpower 1500 VA from BestBuy. The UPS I had collapsed when I connected the 3er outlet and I needed to buy these very fast, so I got them from a near Best Buy store as the extension wires. Best Buy link.
- 8x USB 3.0 extension cables: The second row of 32 disks which is at the floor can’t reach the computer at the top so I needed these extension cables. Link. You can get cheapest ones in Amazon. I needed to buy them because I need them now because my trip.
- TP-Link Gigabit Switch with CAT7 wires: Nothing to add here. Just plug & play. It’s very cheap. Amazon Link Switch and Amazon Link wires.
