Migrating from Flexpool
We're genuinely saddened to see Flexpool cease their services. Flexpool consistently challenged us to elevate our standards in terms of quality and features. To those transitioning from Flexpool, here's a short introduction you to our pool's alternative features:
Community node (Flexfarmer alternative)
Flexfarmer is a great tool to get farming without the need to run your own node. As an alternative, we're hosting community nodes, making it possible for you to utilize just the farmer and harvester components of the official Chia software. This eliminates the need for you to host a node, if you're short on resources.
(Alt)coin swaps
We've recently introduced payouts swaps to BTC and other altcoins. Currently, we offer the option to swap into approximately five different cryptocurrencies.
Our costs and voluntary fees
Our operational costs are very low, and we've implemented a voluntary fee system to sustain our services. Presently, we are not operating at a loss, which assures our sustainability for years to come. We kindly ask you to consider contributing a voluntary fee when joining our pool – your support is greatly appreciated!
If you currently use the official Chia farmer
You can use our regular guide to switch pools: Join SpaceFarmers.io
If you currently use the Gigahorse farmer
You can use our regular guide to switch pools: Join SpaceFarmers.io – select the CLI variant!
If you currently use Flexfarmer
If you are farming at Flexpool using Flexfarmer, you will have to change farmer software to switch. Which software to use depends on the type of plots you are currently farming:
* For Gigahorse-compressed plots, switch to the Gigahorse CLI farmer.
* For uncompressed plots, switch to the official Chia farmer.
If you want to continue farming without running your own full-node, you can use our SpaceFarmers Community Node.
We are working on guides for migrating from Flexfarmer:
