Other news
Despite doing Chia plotting (on a dedicated plotter and storage server) the farm is still doing BOINC crunching as well. The CPU only machines were running 24/7 for a while but due to wind and rain (meaning I can't open a window to let the heat out) I have scaled back to overnight/morning operations again. Rosetta also ran out of work earlier this week, along with Asteroids which is my backup project for the CPU machines.

RTX 3060's seem to be readily available from computer shops now, for $1300 (AUD). That is totally over priced so I am not touching them, besides I am after the 3060 Ti which still isn't available. It might be the crack-down on crypto mining by the Chinese government that is helping the supply situation.

Most of my effort at the moment is going into the Chia machine which I am documenting on a separate blog HERE
