Could you elaborate on the intended purpose and use cases of Chia coin? I'm curious to understand how it differs from other cryptocurrencies and what specific problems it aims to solve. I've heard it's related to storage-proof consensus, but how does this translate into real-world applications and advantages for users? Is Chia coin focused on scalability, security, or a particular niche market? Any insights you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
