-As pioneered by Chia ecosystem developer [[https://github.com/madMAx43v3r|Madmax]], it is now possible to plot and farm "compressed" plots. These plots make use of a trade-off between [[guides/plotting/tradeoff|Proof of Space and some compute]]: the higher the compression level, the more compute is required to generate the missing proofs on the fly.
+It is now possible to plot and farm "compressed" plots. These plots make use of a trade-off between [[guides/plotting/tradeoff|Proof of Space and some compute]]: the higher the compression level, the more compute is required to generate the missing proofs on the fly.
 Although compressed plots require more electricity (and, potentially, a GPU) to be farmed than uncompressed pool plots, they are economical up until certain compression levels. Do note that because of the development work that went into this, the proprietary Gigahorse farmer from Madmax levies a dev fee of 3.125 % for GPU-farmed plots and 1.562 % for CPU-farmed plots (plus potentially some transaction fee revenue).

 ===Step 4: Create Gigahorse Poolplots ===
+Tip: It's highly recommended to create a new [[poolinfo/join/newuser|plotfNFT]] for the gigaplots, as it allows you to set a difficulty specific to these plots.
