Poolsar

Chia was the blockchain that tried to change the game by replacing GPU mining with HDD farming, which meant anyone with spare hard drive space could participate.

Before Chia even launched their own poll, thousands of would-be farmers were refreshing miningpoolstats.com daily, waiting for pools to go live.

We made one move that changed everything for Poolsar: we got it listed on miningpoolstats before launch day.

While other pools were still setting up, Poolsar was already visible to every farmer checking the site. That early listing turned into a funnel that nobody else had.

By the time Chia went live, Poolsar had 10,000 committed users - most of them out of Germany, where the HDD farming concept had found its biggest early audience. The pool launched straight into the Top-10 worldwide, competing with teams that had been building for months longer.
