Users in China have started to buy hard drives and SDD-drives in droves, with discs measuring 4 terabytes to 18 terabytes being the most popular, according to the website.
ChiaCoin, created by BitTorrent founder Bram Cohen, cannot be traded in the country yet, but miners have already started buying devices for the future.
