What happened to the wiki page that I wrote up notes on running the mining pools software?

@Fireduck I deleted it and added https://github.com/snowblossomcoin/snowblossom/wiki/9.-Mining-Pools but I hadn't written the guide to running all the modules yet.

I figured people would piece https://github.com/snowblossomcoin/snowblossom/wiki/6.-Quickstart and the Mining pool conf together just fine. Just no explicit instructions.

I'll write up explicit instructions page for all modules now.

@Fireduck ^ That's what I intended to replace it with.

how about: 1) the miner tells the pool how much RAM it's configured for 2) the pool assigns a range of the snowfield for the miner 3) aggregate as with any grid computing solution ?

the aim is for the pool to find a block, after all, not for an individual miner to find a block

that’d probably be network limited, though

The miners would need to have a high bandwidth link for it to make much sense.

A single PoW try has to read the snow field in 6 different places

hehe, I was going to ask how I might query a node for the current field, but I can already do that. :)

seems the pool fee has a rounding error in the benefit of the pool - probably a very classic fixed point vs. double issue
2018-06-11 17:47:27

also naming - equivalent of satoshi?

’flake’?

rolls off the tongue and seems natural, japanese users might disagree
2018-06-11 17:54:22
Fireduck
Yeah, flake is the base unit
2018-06-11 17:54:54
Fireduck
As for the rounding error, it is complicated

@Fireduck i’m assuming it’s just normal IEEE mantissa representation issues as the fee is a double in the pool config (no power of two maps to 0.1 etc.) - anything on top i’d not expect there?
2018-06-11 19:53:43
Fireduck
Absolutely. Take a look at ShareManager
