The CLI can do everything the GUI can do and more (like better utilize your hardware to optimize plotting). The Chia CLI is the more advanced way to use Chia. Plots are estimated to last over 5 years. In other words, you do not need to delete a plot if it wins you coins. Plots have many (hash) cells inside so if 1 is used there is still many left. The winning transaction is very quickly done within 2-3 seconds and the user is compensated with coins to facilitate the transaction. You win potential coins by providing the winning pre-formulated (hash) code to allow the transaction to occur. Inside each plot is a large number of pre-formulated calculations stored in large table (spreadsheet) of blocks called (hash) cells. The user stores these plots on computer equipment and then farms the created plots for the potential to earn coins. ![]() Depending on your hardware it can take 4-12+ hours to create a plot. Once Chia is installed, users will use the Chia application to create plots. Everyone with Chia installed on their computer also has a copy. The Chia blockchain database copy will be stored on your computer. Basically, you are syncing with everyone on the network, downloading the whole blockchain, which includes all transactions ever processed on the network. As of this writing, fully syncing can take 4-6 hours and this will increases over time as the blockchain grows. Once the application is opened, it loads and starts to sync with the rest of the network and blockchain. The Windows version automatically starts once installed, and the Mac just needs to be opened from the Applications directory. The simplest way to start with Chia is to install the Chia software on the operating system of your choice and run the GUI (Graphical User Interface). Chia also has many improvements to scripting, scripting environment, cryptography, usability, and scalability, and aims to be a simple, secure, and powerful blockchain. It is an improvement over proof of work blockchains, which rely on fast graphic cards and custom machines doing millions of calculations per second and wasting a lot of electricity. ![]() With Chia a very low resource intensive process checks plot files for proof of space and time. Chia is a new type of cryptocurrency that is based on the capacity of pre-stored random-looking data that the user creates and stores in files called plots.
