 The advantage of this method is that it is easy and has minimal downtime. The trick is to download the db right after the snapshot, so your node needs to do minimal syncing to catch up with the latest blockheight. The downside is that you need to trust the source from which you download the snapshot.

 after you are done, don't forget to set back your temporary folder back to your original folder!
+==== 4. SpaceFarmer Community Node ====
+It is also possible to farm without running a full node locally. Using the hooks that already exist in Chia 1.3+, we created the [[poolinfo/join/communitynode|SpaceFarmer Community Node]] to allow farmers that cannot run their own node to continue farming.
