Talk:Chia (cryptocurrency)

Notability
You first removed a cite from this article, then tagged it as having insufficient sources, which seems a peculiar combination of actions. Can you please justify your removaal of the citation? -- The Anome (talk) 19:40, 15 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Coindesk is listed as Generally Unreliable at WP:RSP. It is not an RS. (Other crypto pubs are as bad or worse, for the same reasons listed there for Coindesk.) - David Gerard (talk) 19:56, 15 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Is there any notability other than funding rounds? Those aren't generally considered to pass WP:CORPDEPTH. It's Bram Cohen, surely there's RS coverage and not just crypto sites? I've found Wired, which is in-depth, but is a single source, and is three years old and a WP:CRYSTAL that only exists because Cohen is notable, not because Chia was as yet notable - this would suggest Chia belongs in the article about Cohen, not as a standalone. The financial press haven't covered it that I could find, except a passing mention in Bloomberg - David Gerard (talk) 20:02, 15 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I didn't know that Coindesk et. al. were listed in WP:RSP -- in the light of that, your edit looks completely fine, apologies for the interruption. You might want to consider referencing WP:RSP when removing cites from these sources, to aid other editors who don't know the history. -- The Anome (talk) 10:15, 16 February 2021 (UTC)


 * will do! I think redirection to Bram Cohen is about right for the moment too - David Gerard (talk) 18:21, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Chia farming process potentially being harmful to drives' lifetime.
Drives' lifetime is also based on the number of bytes written to it. Every drive has two limits: the warranty length and the tera bytes written (TBW) - whichever happens first (same for cars - 5 years or 50k miles). Therefore, the sentence "Concerns have also been raised about the mining process also potentially being harmful to drives' lifetime." is just misleading, as it implies that there is no restriction on TBW for those drives. Can we remove that sentence?" 73.189.156.193 (talk) 01:56, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I rewrote to make it less misleading and properly follow stated source Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 19:49, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
