Chia seems to be having a bit of trouble
Farming capacity is down to 17.75 EiB after a local peak of 35 EiB 10 months ago.

Looks like the reason for this is lack of farmer profitability due to the premine being continuously sold, some conversations at:

Not exactly sure what lesson to take from this or how it could have been different, but maybe a) smaller premine and b) putting more of those premine funds into ecosystem development? Any thoughts?
I guess another useful point here is the rate of exodus - 50% capacity lost in 10 months. I wonder how this might affect the design for sustainability of autonomi network.
