@Fireduck I got read-only access of the plowdb working for the shares, just reading it and parsing the proto.
2018-06-21 00:04:00
Protovist
Just expose RPCs w/ proto. :slightly_smiling_face:
2018-06-21 00:04:11
Protovist
I started looking at adding one for the rates.
2018-06-21 00:04:32
Protovist
@Tyler Boone text-format protos are just as readable as json
2018-06-21 00:10:02
Protovist
Also, the protocol messages do not need to be monolithic... just load the set of messages you need to use.
2018-06-21 00:13:05
Fireduck
can do
2018-06-21 00:43:15
Fireduck
@Protovist does grpc work for you or want something else?
2018-06-21 00:43:44
Protovist
Yeah, gRPC should be easy to use.
2018-06-21 00:44:00
Protovist
https://grpc.io/docs/tutorials/basic/node.html A high performance, open source, general RPC framework that puts mobile and HTTP/2 first.
2018-06-21 00:44:12
Protovist
simple to use from nodejs even
2018-06-21 00:45:07
Fireduck
Everything in snowblossom is grpc
2018-06-21 00:47:14
Protovist
Yeah, I started adding an rpc for the rates but didn't finish finding a way to pull it up from RateReporter.

How do I migrate from 1.0.6 to 1.1.2? Can I copy my config files over or should I reconfigure the new config files? Will copying my wallet work? I heard someone say that copying their wallet to a different SSD to mine gave them new addresses
2018-06-21 16:30:09
Tyler Boone
I don't think that person copied it to the right place
2018-06-21 16:30:16
Tyler Boone
I've copied my wallet to different machines
2018-06-21 16:35:00
THX 1138 4EB
by comparing the client config files, it looks like i'd better reconfigure the new config files
2018-06-21 16:37:38
THX 1138 4EB
is "node_host=localhost" no longer required in client.conf?
2018-06-21 16:38:14
Tyler Boone
it's required
2018-06-21 16:38:56
THX 1138 4EB
shouldn't it be in there by default then?
2018-06-21 16:39:14
THX 1138 4EB
i just downloaded 1.1.2 and it doesn't contain "node_host=localhost" in the client.conf file
2018-06-21 16:39:54
Fireduck
That needs to be fixed
2018-06-21 16:40:19

can I "add a public comment to the blocks you mine" even if I mine as part of a pool?
2018-06-21 17:01:13
THX 1138 4EB
is the hybrid miner in 1.1.2 or is that a separate project?
2018-06-21 17:09:18
Tyler Boone
it's the same miner
2018-06-21 17:09:36
Tyler Boone
I don't believe you can comment currently as a pool miner
2018-06-21 17:22:47
THX 1138 4EB
shouldnt there be more options than "load snowfield into ram" so you can specify how much ram to use?
2018-06-21 17:23:55
Tyler Boone
the hybrid miner allows you to put however much you want into RAM
2018-06-21 17:27:11
Fireduck
@Tyler Boone want to make some notes about the options that exist in the wiki mining tuning page?
2018-06-21 17:27:29
Fireduck
especially that awesome max depth one
2018-06-21 17:27:49
Tyler Boone
probably should
2018-06-21 17:28:28
Fireduck
I know you are very busy sharing points
2018-06-21 17:32:01
Tyler Boone
oh... looks like max depth isn't in master
2018-06-21 17:32:10
Tyler Boone
that explains why I lost the hashrate!
2018-06-21 17:32:42

I guess we forgot to merge it

THX 1138 4EB
if i set memfield=true without configuring anything else for memory mining, what happens?
2018-06-21 17:34:01
Tyler Boone
most likely your max heap size won't be large enough and you will get out of memory exceptions
2018-06-21 17:40:20
THX 1138 4EB
where are the other options? i cant seem then in any of the configuration files nor on https://github.com/snowblossomcoin/snowblossom/wiki/Config-Files

are some people using the hybrid miner or is no-one using it?
2018-06-21 17:43:04

2018-06-21 17:44:32

I mean, if people are active enough to build from development branches, I think it's OK they get to use new features before others :slightly_smiling_face:
2018-06-21 17:44:49

The world is and always will be more fair to those willing to look at the code. :wink:

all miners are created equal. but some are more equal than others.

also, I might have the directionality and range of the depth parameter completely wrong

the original default threads value was 32 and now it's 8 but is commented out. if I leave it commented out, is it still 32 by default?

i settled on 40 last time so i guess i'll do the same this time
2018-06-21 18:21:47
quantumblockz
@Tyler Boone Are you suggesting I should build from development branches and not master? Or is that a joke.
2018-06-21 18:22:58
Tyler Boone
I'm just saying development branches might sometimes contain new stuff.

@Shoots in my experimentation i've noted it gains back about 1/8 of the 'lost' performance of ram vs. disk - this seems a bit low, so i'll eventually take a look at what's up there - i'd expect it to gain 1/2 .. 1/4 - perhaps something to do with how exactly the threading works - or perhaps they should have different seek characteristics
2018-06-21 20:40:14
Shoots
interesting, thanks
2018-06-21 20:40:56
Rotonen
@Shoots there's a new tweakable incoming from @Tyler Boone and that could help (or should be tieredly settable down the line, or somesuch)
2018-06-21 20:41:58
Rotonen
@Shoots i'm dreaming of control systems (PID) which would do the tweaking for you, but have no time to invest at the time - in principle it should be possible to just start and kill threads on the fly and tune things until it stabilizes to the maximum it can get to (bar local maximas)

@Protovist use systemd and `restart=always` or if you're on upstart, it has an equivalent, or SysV init scripts have the respawn option settable in inittab
2018-06-21 20:46:16
Fireduck
@Protovist that certainly shouldn't happen, please do send logs if you can get them
2018-06-21 20:46:21
Protovist
Yeah, I forgot to add the restart to systemd... but it's running inside tmux so I would have lost the console output either way.

@Fireduck `for i in "$name/configs"/*; do sed -i 's/\n$/\n\r$/' "$i"; done` this line in the build.sh for deployments replaces all the configs line endings with dos compatible.

at least the new lines in 1.1.2 were not correct
2018-06-21 20:49:50
Rotonen
@Clueless you really rather don't want to do that yourself, use dos2unix
2018-06-21 20:49:59
Rotonen
@Clueless seems fairly trivial, full of gnarly corners
2018-06-21 20:50:10
Protovist
@Rotonen tmux seems to break that
2018-06-21 20:50:25
Rotonen
@Protovist any reason why you'd have tmux in the mix in any case there?
2018-06-21 20:50:40
Clueless
I mean, you just replace \n$ with \n\r$
2018-06-21 20:50:47
Rotonen
@Protovist and i think then you need to set it up as a forking service as the first thing the tmux session will do is fork a new process and exit?
2018-06-21 20:51:09
Protovist
Mostly habit, some nodes have interactive consoles I want to attach to.
2018-06-21 20:51:24
Fireduck
@Clueless what if the file already has \r? Just adding more?
2018-06-21 20:51:50
Fireduck
eh, the $ should handle that
2018-06-21 20:51:57
Fireduck
but clearly something didn't work right
2018-06-21 20:53:25
Rotonen
rather something like `for file in "$(basename -a foo/**/bar/*)"; do unix2dos $file; done`?
2018-06-21 20:54:10
Clueless
@Fireduck if the ile already has \n\r$ it won't match \n$
2018-06-21 20:54:13
Rotonen
(also pointing out, in case needed down the line for tooling, the extglob there is a settable shell option and requires a relatively new bash as well)
2018-06-21 20:54:30

I could be wrong, but I tested it on my windows machine.
2018-06-21 20:54:34

I'll test again
2018-06-21 20:54:47
Fireduck
open up the release zip and see what is in it
2018-06-21 20:55:07

there's always the chance I screwed something up, committed something wrong, I'll test again. Either way it's silly it's requiring so much time. xD
