The Chives Network is a forked clone of the original Chia™ Network blockchain. As a clone, it is possible to farm the same plots to both blockchain networks, as long as the same private key (mnemonic seed) is provided to both the Chia™ and Chives farmer. Chives operates on a different network port though, so be sure to port-forward tcp/9699 at your router.

Summary Page

When Chives farming is enabled, the Summary will include a display of Chives Total Farmed, Chives Netspace Size, and Chives Estimated Time to Win.

Summary

Blockchain challenges from both networks are shown as well.

Farming Page

Plots are farmed to both the original Chia blockchain and the Chives blockchain fork. From the Farming page listing these common plots, it's also possible to view the debug.log from each farmer/harvester for each blockchain.

Alerts Page

When enabled, Machinaris tracks farming alerts from Chiadog.

Install and Setup

  • Windows/Linux/etc users should use the Machinaris Launch wizard to create a docker-compose.yml that launches one container to farm Chia and one container to farm Chives. Then run docker-compose up to launch both containers.
  • Unraid users should install the "Machinaris Chives" application add-on available by searching the Community Applications tab.

Be sure to copy over your mnemonic pass-phrase found at ~/.machinaris/mnemonic.txt into the new folder at ~/.machinaris-chives/mnemonic.txt and restart the Chives container to pick it up.
