Chia Farming Bytesize

I was checking the stats on the farm the first full day running with the 3 various sized contracts I have, and noticed something. I am not thinking its actually an "issue" with payments, because based on my calculation the amount earned is spot on. Maybe its just the diff adjustment?

Unrelated to your question can I ask why you chose to use 3 nft plots instead of 1?

Of the big pools, I did some testing with 500 plots and 500 plots early on with Flexpool and Space to make a video about some of the claims of higher returns were true. Turns out the were both within 1.2% of each other with Space actually edging over Flex. The 1TB pool was a solar powered flexfarmer experiment.

Okay got ya, I was just wondering lol. I'm dabbling around. I filled an old 4tb drive I had for gaming just to see what's up with chia. I have an option to buy a server to hobby on for $155... With the drives on it I think I can't pass it up even if I didn't want to farm.

Specs:
-2U rack server
-single Xeon E5-2603 CPU @ 1.8ghz, up gradable to dual CPU's
-Intel® Server Board S2600GZ
-32gb DDR3 ECC registered RAM (four 8gb modules)
-Intel RMS25CB080 RAID card with Intel SAS expansion, 1gb cache, and "super cache" battery backup
-four 1gbps network cards plus dedicated management
-dual power supplies
-twelve 2tb SATA 7200 hard drives
-one 100gb SSD drive

The only problem I see for a startup farm is the SSD is on the small side.

Yeah thats a decent price especially for the drives. You can sell those on ebay even or, my preference, raid0 stripe 6 of them as the temp for MadMax plotter. Low ram is fine, but the 2603 is the pits. I tested a lot of ivy and sandy xeons and the 2650 is a great balance if budget/price if you update anything. Best bang for the upgrade buck there. Welcome to the farm!

Thanks for the welcome, yeah I saw the processor wasn't the greatest. I can buy servers all day long but it's a crap chute when it comes to drives included, if there are any they're usually just <1tb. It's not often they come up with 24 TB loaded for that price.
