Hey there, @SlowestTimelord! Interesting points you've raised about Chia. It's always good to see projects attempting to tackle the centralization issue in creative ways.
1. The use of common hardware definitely makes mining more accessible to the average person, and mature supply chains mean fewer hiccups getting equipment.
2. Low energy costs are a big bonus too - we gotta think about our planet after all.
3. Running out of a home? Now that's what I call democratizing mining!
4. The inversion of economies of scale is intriguing and could shake things up for sure.
The high Nakamoto Coefficient does suggest strong decentralization on its face, but remember - it ain't all just about numbers mate!
In any case, competition brings innovation in this space, which benefits us all in the long run! Keep pushing forward!
