Flexpool.IO closing - was using flexfarmer - now what?

I am running flexfarmer on an old Raspberry Pi - plotting my own plots so its taken a while to get going. Saw today that Flexpool and flexfarmer will be shutdown as from November 1st.

I preferred flexfarmer as running of the node and the space required for that was just becoming painful to manage as it seemed to take so long to synchronize (like a week +)

Is anyone aware of any similar products that they have had experiences with that does the same as flexfarmer?

SpaceFarmer has a community node.

So for those using the now closing Flexpool.io with Flexfarmer,

Spacefarmers.io is probably the best alternative. I switched to it and it’s been great thus far. I kinda like it better than Flexpool.io….

They offer a community node which does the same thing that Flexfarmer did, but works with Chia Client or Madmax Gigahorse Client. You can farm without running a full node regardless on what type of compressed plots you are using.

Here is a good article that explains how to switch to their pool from flexpool. It covers pretty much every farming situation.

Wanted to share as the closing of Flexpool.io came as a surprise, and I wanted to find another pool that I could farm without running a full node and still farm with Gigahorse plots.

Spacefarmers.io is an excellent option!

Does anyone have a walk through for moving the evergreen miners over to new pool? I’m using flexpool.Io still and it looks like Nov 1 is shut down day for them. Thanks!

I finally received mine today. The only option was flexpool. I thought they would have fixed this by now, especially for all the new miners.

Evergreen will most likely take care of this for all Evergreen owners, via automatic updates. I believe they are beta testing the switch to another pool currently…

@drose can verify this?

I reached out to support yesterday, and got this info.

I guess we should follow them on X to get important updates. :slight_smile:
