While
#bitcoin is trying to break above 95k, the most talked about altcoins by

#ETH $SUI $OM and
$XRP tokens. Today, I will be talking about my
#Autonomysfarming experiences. As I mentioned before, Autonomys Network was a popular AI project
#SocialMining @DAO Labs Autonomys farming offers a truly democratic experience in the Web3 world. You can become a farmer on any consumer-grade computer using the Space Acres app. All you need is 4 CPU cores, 8GB of RAM, and 100GB of SSD storage. The setup process is very fast – it can be completed in less than 5 minutes on Linux, Windows, or macOS. The syncing and plotting process can slow down your computer a bit at first, but once it’s done, the system runs smoothly in the background.
What I like about Autonomys farming is that it really has a low barrier to entry. There’s no expensive equipment or staking required. You can even use a standard laptop from your home. The reward structure of the system is also fair; you often earn $AI3 rewards for the storage and consensus you contribute. The network is accessible to everyone, giving it a real sense of decentralization.
What Could Be Improved?
The interface and documentation could be a bit more explanatory for new users. More detailed information about what the system does, especially during the initial syncing process, would be helpful. Also, more visible announcements of technical updates from time to time would help farmers manage the process better. Establishing regional support teams would also be a big plus for users in different countries.
When and How Did I Start?
I joined farming during the Autonomys testnet. Since I believed in the vision of the network, when I saw that I met the basic hardware requirements, I immediately set up Space Acres and pledged my first domain. After filling out a simple application form and following a few basic steps, I set up my own farm on my standard laptop at home. The installation literally took less than 10 minutes! The fact that the installation process was so fast and smooth really increased my confidence in the project.
Tips for New Users
Be patient at the beginning! The initial synchronization process can take time, but once it is complete, the system is really low maintenance. Be careful not to overstress your hardware at the beginning. The system is already optimized, even small SSDs are valuable. Staying connected with the community will help you get quick answers to your questions.
What I found most striking about the farming system is that Autonomys really supports regular hardware. It doesn’t require a network, large servers, or expensive hardware. It makes lightweight, energy-efficient farming accessible to everyone. Also, the “no staking, no expensive rigs” approach is very refreshing. What impressed me the most was Autonomys’ “lightweight” farming concept. It runs in the background under normal usage and barely interferes with daily computing activities. This is a feature that is rarely seen in Web3.
