SpaceFarmers.io - Advanced Chia Pooling Dashboard

Hi farmers of space!

Months after starting our mainnet engines it’s time to give you a proper introduction to SpaceFarmers.io! A few dozen users already found their way to our pool. We’re one of the smaller pools here, but things are starting to grow. Our goal is to build a transparant pool (data, lots of data!) where farmers are in control. We know each other by name in our Discord community and we celebrate our blocks like it’s the last day on earth. The developers / admins are always open for a conversation about improving the pool.

Key points of the pool:

  • 0% fee, no intentions to raise it currently
  • No unexpected fee changes, see https://spacefarmers.io/fee
  • Set your own difficulty (time per partial)
  • PPLNS 24H reward system
  • Instant pay-outs
  • Dedicated servers located in a eco-friendly datacenters (Netherlands)
  • Custom farm names
  • Farm downtime / pay-out notifications
  • Farm efficiency tools
  • Great knowledge base maintained by the community
  • Discord community with users eager to help

You can find all information and instructions for joining at https://spacefarmers.io/.
Let’s stay in touch, join our Discord.

Long time lurker here on Chia Forum. I am actually (positively!) surprised to see your pressence here. I have been farming with Spacefarmers since pool launch and gradually moved some of my other Pool NFTs there. At this point, I think many farmers are happy where they are, but I still would highly recommend this pool to anyone looking for a very transparant and interactive pool.

Sometimes I wonder why the pool is still not on the same level regarding other pools in terms of size. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that I haven’t seen so much from Spacefarmers in this forum or on Reddit. Is there a reason you have not advertised the pool so much in here?

Either way, hope we may attract some numbercrunchers to our pool and looking forward to see us grow further!

Growth is always nice, but our focus is primarily on the current userbase. We’re not here to make a living out of it. We want our community to have a good time, while maintaining a professional level of service. Our Discord is very active and we reward that with block bingo’s and Discord drops.

Have a look around and if you like what you see, have chat with us: https://discord.com/invite/C4bgjg8ht5

1 year in space! :rocket:

Time goes fast in space! It’s been a year since our pool launched and just recently we claimed our 1000th block. A lot has happened since we gave you our last update here. So it’s time for a summary of our adventures:

Payout batches
We’ve welcomed a lot of new farmers in the last few months! We’ve grown from 16 PiB (January 1st) to 46 PiB today. Due to amount of blocks we find each day, we’ve decided to switch to payouts batches. Once a day all open payouts are sent out to our farmers. We do not use minimum amounts or minimum fees!

Mobile apps
Monitor your farm from your mobile phone using our new Apple and Android app! It uses our new notification system which is easy to setup and warns you instantly when something is wrong with your farm.

Pool wiki
We set up a wiki to prevent knowledge from ever getting lost. The wiki is maintained by our community and full of tricks for your farm.

Community node
Some farmers have trouble running a node (limited resources, solar power). We have created a load-balanced community node that allows any pool user to farm without having to run a node themselves. No additional software is required, it works out of the box with the most recent Chia software.

Database upgrade
Our previous database was getting old (sorry Influx!). We have replaced our database with a new better performing one! The migration was done without any loss of data or downtime. The performance of the pool increased a lot and is ready to receive many, many, many more partials!

And let’s also not forget about Telegram, websockets update, block bingo, improved API, and many other smaller updates! Also, the journey to come will be very exciting: Currently we’re working on SpaceFarmers.io V2! So stay tuned!

I recently switched over to this pool. I am beyond pleased. The experience has been nothing but positive. The dashboard is awesome and the app is a plus. Anyone would benefit from taking a look at this pool. Wish I would have started out here.
