 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 [[https://github.com/madMAx43v3r/chia-gigahorse/releases|Gigahorse CLI farmer]].
+  * For Gigahorse-compressed plots, switch to the [[https://github.com/madMAx43v3r/chia-gigahorse/releases|Gigahorse CLI farmer]].
-* For uncompressed plots, switch to the [[https://www.chia.net/downloads/|official Chia farmer]].
+  * For uncompressed plots, switch to the [[https://www.chia.net/downloads/|official Chia farmer]].
 If you want to continue farming without running your own full-node, you can use our [[poolinfo:community_node|SpaceFarmers Community Node]].
-We are working on guides for migrating from Flexfarmer:

+Here are step by step instructions for migrating from farming Gigahorse-compressed plots with Flexfarmer on Flexpool to farming the same plots with the Gigahorse farmer and the Community Node on SpaceFarmers.
+If you use the Community Node, neither wallet nor farmer require a local full node or a local synced blockchain database. But you can also just use the community node for initial migration until you have fully synced your own local node.
+Finally, note that the following instructions assume Linux. If you are using Windows, use ''.\chia.exe'' instead of ''./chia.bin'', and use ''%USERPROFILE%\.chia'' instead of ''~/.chia'' in paths.
+  - The following packages are needed to run on Linux: ''sudo apt install ocl-icd-libopencl1''
+  - Download and extract the [[https://github.com/madMAx43v3r/chia-gigahorse/releases|Gigahorse farmer]].
+  - Open a command line and change into the directory you extracted the farmer to.
+  - Initiate Chia by using: ''./chia.bin init''
+  - Add your keys via your 24-word mnemonic: ''./chia.bin keys add''
+  - Start the farmer and wallet, and let the wallet sync: ''./chia.bin start farmer-only wallet''. Check wallet sync state with ''./chia.bin wallet show''.
+  - Once the wallet's synced, switch pools:
+    - Run ''./chia.bin plotnft show'' to get plotnft //wallet id//.
+    - Then run ''./chia.bin plotnft join -i <wallet_id> -u https://xch.spacefarmers.io'' to switch.
+    - After you confirm the switch, the program will tell you a ''chia wallet get_transaction'' command you can use to watch the transaction for switching pools. Run that multiple times, until you see ''Status: Confirmed''.
+    - After the transaction was confirmed, run ''./chia.bin plotnft show'' again, and observe that the plotnft you are switching is now in ''Current state: LEAVING_POOL''.
+    - The switch will take ~20 minutes to complete. Once switching successfully completed, ''./chia.bin plotnft show'' will show ''Current state: FARMING_TO_POOL'' and ''Current pool URL: https://xch.spacefarmers.io''.
+    - Only proceed once your plotnft is switched, as the community node won't accept connections from farmers not on our pool.
+  - Once your plotnft is switched, stop the farmer: ''./chia.bin stop farmer-only''.
+  - Change ''~/.chia/mainnet/config/config.yaml'' to use our Gigahorse community node. Search for the following section:<code>farmer:
+  full_node_peers:
+    - host: localhost
+      port: 8444</code> and change it to:<code>farmer:
+  full_node_peers:
+    - host: community-node.spacefarmers.io
+      port: 18445</code>
+  - Tell the harvester where to find your plots: ''./chia.bin plots add -d /path/to/plots''
+  - Start farmer and harvester to actually farm plots: ''./chia.bin start farmer-only harvester''. NB: If you have a large amount of plots, the Gigaghorse harvester will initially take a while to read all plots.
+  - Run ''./chia.bin plotnft show'' again to get your plotnft's launcher id. With that, run ''./chia.bin plotnft get_login_link -l <launcher_id>'' to get a URL to log into our SpaceFarmers.io Web Dashboard.
+  - Watch ''~/.chia/mainnet/log/debug.log'' for errors and/or farming activity. Watch the "partials" tab for your farmer in our dashboard for successful partial submission. It typically takes 3-20 minutes once the plotnft is switched and the farmer & harvester are running for the first partial to show up.
+  - Welcome to pooling at SpaceFarmers.io!
+  - Optional: stop the wallet again, as you don't need it running to farm: ''./chia.bin stop wallet''. For pooling, the wallet is only necessary to switch your plotnft and sync the pool config.
+<WRAP center round info 60%><color #000000>If you farm with a remote node like the community node, be aware that ''./chia.bin farm summary'' will always output a few error messages like //"Connection error. Check if full node rpc is running"// or //"Farming status: Not available"//. This is normal for farming with a remote node and nothing to worry about.</color></WRAP>
