It is hard to crack it. In that video, he mentioned 40EB farm, so I would assume he mentioned the raw HD space (I think he was mostly running NoSSD, so it could as well be 20 EB raw, if he used about 2x compression).
assuming that he has only 20TB drives, that would be 2k drives to sell (using 40 EB raw)
in that eBay listing, he only has 12 and 14 TB drives, so most likely his total is close to 3k drives (again, if we use 20 EB raw, that 1.5k drives would be close enough)
in that video he mentioned that he is also considering trying MMX, so needs some drives for that

I guess, no point to argue, as whatever conclusions we draw, they could be justified by how we understand his situation. The best is just let him clarify (if he cares), and just let it go.
I hope you will pop in once in a while. I have always enjoyed reading your posts. Besides that you are one of the few lawyers I have come across that I am genuinely fond ofš. This community will be a lesser place without you. I hope to hear from you in the future here.
I love when people scream about the price, this is the common mistake which a lot of retail does. BTC was going from 100 down to 20. Everyone who has sold wants his coins now back. And when we take a look into future energy price is a big thing. BTC is an outdated blockchain, chia has more value than BTC as with his possibilities like smart contracts and his own portable programming language.
I could be wrong, I find that I often am. But, nothing I have seen to date out of CNIās programming prowess would make me think that would add much to the value of this blockchain. And you use Bitcoin as a shining example as well as saying it is an obsolete chain. Yet, who would trade an equal dollar amount of Bitcoin for the same amount of Chia. I certainly would not.
Chia might have more POTENTIAL than Bitcoin, but itās VALUE right now isnāt even one penny on the dollar compared to Bitcoin.
And there are tons of examples just in Cryptocoin where āpotentialā has never been achieved, vs perhaps a half dozen where it has.
No matter how great something actually is, markets dictate price. And the price charts are downright scary to me. I donāt understand how most farmers can afford to farm, but more power to you if you can. I canāt. So itās time to sell off at 75% clearance sale to all you who can.
Do you have natural gas running to your house for the stove and dryer etc?

What would be the cost of natural gas to run a generator that feeds the equipment?
