Switching from FlexFarmer to Foxy

Info

This Guide describes how to farm without a local full node, using the Foxy Chia Farming Gateway or Gigahorse Farming Gateway. If you can run a full node you should, in that case just follow this guide to get started.

First select which type of plots you use:

Next select whether you want to setup your Farmer manually or use Foxy-Farmer, which can do all the config and setup for you:

  1. Install Foxy-Farmer, see this page on the various install methods.
  2. Run Foxy-Farmer once to generate a foxy-farmer.yaml as well as the .foxy-farmer directory in your users home directory using the first run wizard. This will take care of importing your 24 word mnemonic, joining the pool as well as showing your pool login link.
  3. Open the login link and check out the Pools "My Farmer" tab!

Our friends from SpaceFarmers already wrote a complete guide on how to switch from using FlexFarmer with Gigahorse plots to a Gigahorse Farmer & Harvester setup which uses a remote full node. The Guide also works for Foxy, you just need to substitute

./chia.bin plotnft join -i <wallet_id> -u https://xch.spacefarmers.io
with
./chia.bin plotnft join -i <wallet_id> -u https://farmer-chia.foxypool.io
and
farmer:
  full_node_peer:
    host: community-node.spacefarmers.io
    port: 8445
with
farmer:
  full_node_peers:
  - host: dus1.gh-farming-gateway.chia.foxypool.io
    port: 48445
  - host: nue1.gh-farming-gateway.chia.foxypool.io
    port: 48445

  1. Install Foxy-Farmer, see this page on the various install methods.
