Farms can also be certified. The certifications are: [gold certified farming](https://forum.threefold.io/t/gep-gold-certified-farming-specs-closed/2925) and [silver certified farming](https://forum.threefold.io/t/silver-booster-request-for-comments/3416).

### What is the difference between V2 and V3 minting?
|
||||
|
||||
V2 is being sunset. New miners should directly onboard to V3.
|
||||
On the tokenomics side, V2 rewards decrease as the difficulty level increases. For the V3 rewards, the rewards are constant for 5 years. In short, V3 is more profitable in the long run. For more information, read [this post](https://forum.threefold.io/t/comparison-v2-vs-v3-minting/2122).

### What is the easiest way to farm ThreeFold tokens (TFT)?

Buy a [certified 3Node](https://marketplace.3node.global/index.php). This is more or less *plug n play*! You can also build a [DIY 3Node](#what-are-the-general-requirements-for-a-diy-3node-server). It's fun and there are many resources to help you along the way.

They are distributed once a month, around the 8th*. Distributions are not daily, or after a certain threshold. Note that upcoming minting rules may have a 24 month lockup or until 30% utilization for 3 months on your 3Node.

A 3Node has, in general, 2 compute units (CU) per thread. Thus, for peak optimisation, you need 100 GB SSD and 8GB RAM per thread.

|
||||
### What is the optimal ratio of virtual cores - vcores or threads - SSD storage and RAM memory? What is the best optimization scenario for a 3Node, in terms of TFT farming rewards?
|
||||
|
||||
In short, for peak optimization, aim for 100 GB SSD of storage and 8GB RAM of memory per virtual core (vcore or thread).
|
||||
|
||||
For example, a 32 threads (32 vcores) 3Nodes would need 3.2 TB SSD and 256GB RAM to be optimal, reward-wise.
|
||||
That is: 32 * 100 = 3200 GB SSD = 3.2TB SSD, and 32 * 8 = 256 GB RAM total.
|
||||
|
||||
Adding more GB of RAM would not increase your TFT rewards. You would need more vcores if you want to expand.
|
||||
|
||||
NB: This is purely based on reward considerations. Some users might need different ratios for different specific uses of the Grid.

### What does TBW mean? What is a good TBW level for a SSD disk?
|
||||
|
||||
TBW means Terabytes Written. TBW directly measures how much you can write cumulatively into the drive over its lifetime. For your 3Node, it can be a good idea to prioritize a minimum ratio of 500 TBW per 1TB for SSD.
