Normal “S” curve of technology adoption. A bit early though which means a very flattened “S” curve
I dont think chia has grown at all for 3 mnth personally. If anything it looks like a tiny decline, but nothing really worth mentioning.
Filecoin reached 15 EiB farming capacity yesterday. That’s 42 days to add the most recent EiB of storage capacity.
29.2 PiB being stored.

Chia network size in 3 months has gone from 36457 PiB to 30961 PiB, a drop of ~15%
A little surprising to me after such an incredible first year of growth. This is a steady drop, not just a blip from farming variance. The full history of netspace doesn’t look so bad though!
The price of chia token XCH in the last 3 months has gone from $140 to $80, so that might partially explain the drop in storage?
Looks like about 100K txs per day on the network - source

Quite a few have lost faith due to price, the database ( local copy of chain ) getting easily corrupted, problems syncing, problems farming, randomness of rewatds etc.

The price and reward distribution I can understand as being out of your control, but these other things sound like software QA that can (easily?) be fixed. Kinda surprised if they aren’t getting fixed since that’s pretty essential and fixable stuff. Maybe I’m missing some detail about why it’s still an issue.

I agree, these things shoud be able to be easily fixed, but they dont seem to be happening.
It seems , although i could be wrong, they are more interested in adding new features.
I guess a few farmers having a few issues is not that much of a concern, as theres always enough nodes online to push through transactions.

Looking at the full history of chia farming, it’s incredible how fast the rise was at the start. From 3EiB in May to 30EiB in July, that’s 10x in 2 months. https://xchscan.com/charts/netspace
Putting it into some real world context, say a photo on your phone is 5MB, then 30EB would store about 6.5 trillion photos, which in 2 months is a rate of 109 billion photos per day or about 1M photos per second.

I have about 1000 photos in my phone. 30EB would allow 6.5 billion people like me to have all their photos uploaded. Earths population is 7.8 billion, so roughly speaking, everyones photos would just fit in there.
OK, many false assumptions there, everyone is not like me and not everyone in the earth aged between 0 and death, has a smartphone. But to give a scale.

I think if chia were actually storing personal data as opposed to proofs to obtain rewards the growth would have been very different.

Filecoin added another 1 EiB of farming capacity in 67 days, going from 15 EiB to 16 EiB, and is clearly slowing down on the growth of farming (still growing but much less quickly).

Filecoin currently storing about 65 PiB of data.
Chia has gone from 33 EiB to 29 EiB in the last 90 days, so is still in a pretty clear decline of farming, but incredibly huge amount of capacity still there.

Interestingly Filecoin is hard to utilise, and not just for regular folk. Here is one of the architects of Zcash giving it a whirl yesterday (short thread):

Yeah, I’ve been following this twitter thread too. I’m relieved to see I’m not the only one who finds Filecoin somewhat unfathomable!

in regards of useability we are forward, we can access files and upload files with a small executable! only vaults need to run nodes and it is still small!!!

IDC has said we are seeing a 61% compounded annual growth rate of data and that it will reach 175 zettabytes by 2025

Filecoin is now storing more than 100 PiB, quite a cool milestone. 110 PiB currently stored, see storage.filecoin.io. That’s 13 PiB added in 3 weeks, an average upload rate of about 65000 Mbps (about 7.5 GiB/s).
There’s about 4000 miners. The average rate of receiving data per miner over the past 3 weeks has been about 16 Mbps.

Big drop just now in filecoin mining capacity, apparently about 500 PiB has left the network…
Has affected fees too, gone from about 100 attoFIL to a peak of 332,000,000 attoFIL (charts reporting this as 0.332 nanoFIL for anyone else wondering about atto!).
Not sure what’s causing this but it’s a lot of storage. Although 500 PiB is only about 3% of the total network resources (currently 17.3 EiB) so not that big of a movement really. And total data stored is only about 100 PiB so… some strange incentives going on I reckon.
Good to know the other side of growth, ie how much can leave in a single hit in real life, not just in theory.
