Can’t get my hash back up to where it was
cXplexus
2018-06-26 01:43:25
I have been trying to read and figure it out. Doesn’t make sense on how when the fields grow in size your hash drops
cXplexus

The snowblossom is a harsh mistress.
Fireduck
2018-06-26 02:10:33
Hash shouldn't drop when the fields go up unless your hybrid mining I thought. If you're mining in VPs then you might be having the same issue I'm noticing. Latest release is hashing slow, build from source and it's faster
Shoots
2018-06-26 03:01:34
more expensive to RAM mine in the cloud
Tyler Boone

I have 2 MH/s for $0.61/hr

snowday needs more power!
Clueless
2018-06-26 05:21:49
heh
Fireduck
2018-06-26 05:21:59
I need to spend less time worrying about mining and more time coding
Fireduck
2018-06-26 05:22:17
but I do know what it feels like to have a mining pool die on you
Fireduck
2018-06-26 05:30:07
@Fireduck
It just doesn't make sense to me logically.
Lower fee, fancier website, was there first.
I haven't seen Vauxhall advertise at all and they seem to have a lot more people.
Clueless
2018-06-26 05:30:20
Being confused upsets me more than losing.
Clueless
2018-06-26 05:30:48
yeah, I have no explanation
Fireduck
2018-06-26 05:31:08
I would assume some relationship between pool operator and miners there and not worry about it
Fireduck
2018-06-26 05:31:21
yeah, I'm not worried. :)

hey guys, does anyone know if getting two machines with 800kH/s is better than a single machine with 1.6Mh/s? I don't know how pool mining works. If it is percentage based, would I get more coins with the single machine with more performance, over long run?
sweepo
2018-06-26 07:50:00
@sweepo what matters is the amount you can get total
Clueless
2018-06-26 07:50:42
towards one address, I suggest
Clueless
2018-06-26 07:56:06
I get that
sweepo
2018-06-26 07:57:20
What I mean is, if a pool gives rewards percentage wise, would a single machine with 1.6-2Mh/s get more number of coins when compared with 2 machines each with half the high performance hash rate?
sweepo
2018-06-26 08:01:00
so if two machines, each has the same hashrate 'H', and they get total '2X' snow('X' for each) over some time period, would a single machine with hashrate '2H' get more than '2X' ?
sweepo
2018-06-26 08:33:48
no it would be the same
THX 1138 4EB
2018-06-26 09:00:27
@sweepo No, the pool will reward the address based on percentage of shares it solved
Clueless
2018-06-26 09:02:01
not even that, your shares over the last 5 blocks
Rotonen
2018-06-26 10:27:30
@Shoots but that’s the thing I am hybrid
cXplexus
2018-06-26 10:27:43
and that's why your hashrate is down
THX 1138 4EB
2018-06-26 10:27:55
because you have lower percentage of field in RAM
THX 1138 4EB
2018-06-26 10:28:02
field is bigger but you didnt add more RAM
THX 1138 4EB
2018-06-26 10:30:46
you get it? your relatively slow SSD is now doing a higher percentage of the work
THX 1138 4EB
2018-06-26 10:31:41
does anyone think it could be a problem for snowblossom that it is or will become barely worth mining without specialised equipment, discouraging participation by people in the way that people can use their otherwise idle GPU for conventional algorithms? like a gamer can use their idle GPUs but snowblossom will quickly become something you can only do with something dedicated or specialised due to the large fields
THX 1138 4EB
2018-06-26 10:47:39
@THX 1138 4EB no, that's the entire point. Specialty equipment won't really give an advantage
Clueless
2018-06-26 10:49:25
@Clueless it will, but that stuff costs tens of thousands per megahash down the line
Rotonen
2018-06-26 10:50:36
@THX 1138 4EB the hope is that so few will afford stupid resources for mining that a flood of spare space on SSDs will just drown those into background noise
Rotonen
2018-06-26 10:51:46
a bit of a chicken egg issue as it’s hard and slow to get started, so this mostly just draws in the negahash crowd currently
Rotonen
2018-06-26 10:52:10
i’ll leave that typo in, appropriate enough
Rotonen
2018-06-26 10:59:38
```
# field_size = (1024**3) * (2**field_index)
# field_difficulty = 25 + field_index*2
```
Clueless
2018-06-26 11:59:49
yeah i guess/hope so :slightly_smiling_face:
THX 1138 4EB
2018-06-26 12:03:26
So with every field, lower hash
cXplexus
2018-06-26 12:03:42
That can be a bit discouraging though people like those numbers
cXplexus
2018-06-26 12:03:57
I could careless just trying to wrap my head around it
cXplexus
my hash too low only 1.48M
Am I setting something wrong?
is mining in memory and is getting about 1.48M/s , can anyone verify if that looks right?
2018-06-26 14:04:14
I get 1.7 with 32 logical cores
Shoots
2018-06-26 15:02:11
it’s more about seek dispatch density than cores - cores just mostly wait when mining
Rotonen
2018-06-26 16:57:45
How can I run my local node on testnet ?
AlexCrow
2018-06-26 17:15:35
@AlexCrow you just do it. Set network=teapot
Fireduck
2018-06-26 17:15:39
obviously
Fireduck
2018-06-26 17:15:47
it should connect to one of mine
Fireduck
2018-06-26 17:16:08
if you don't have ipv6, it might not be able to find mine
Fireduck
2018-06-26 17:17:20
yeah - got this one
AlexCrow
2018-06-26 17:19:44
A known and puzzling bug
Fireduck
2018-06-26 17:19:55
but shouldn't break your testnet
Fireduck
2018-06-26 17:20:39
do you have ipv6? if so, http://snow-test-a.1209k.com:8080/ is a testnet explorer
Fireduck
2018-06-26 17:21:18
only chumps don't have ipv6
Fireduck
2018-06-26 17:21:27
I dunno about ipv6 but I've connected and it's syncing
AlexCrow
2018-06-26 17:21:32
cool
Fireduck
2018-06-26 17:21:40
note, it will take way longer to sync than mainnet
Fireduck
2018-06-26 17:21:47
some asshat was doing a bunch of load testing on testnet
Fireduck
2018-06-26 17:21:54
let me know if you need some testnet coin
Fireduck
2018-06-26 17:22:03
there are 1.6 million transactions on it

i guess I haven't won him over on sip2 yet

trying to help the cause here

I think he had some concerns about sip2
Shoots
2018-06-26 21:47:14
did he bring them to you?
Shoots
he did not grace me with a response :disappointed:
2018-06-26 21:48:34
He had concerns, I tried to address them
Fireduck
2018-06-26 21:48:41
he might still think I am nuts
Fireduck
2018-06-26 21:48:58
I don't think I am, but it is hard to discount the possibility

arent we all?

curious to hear what your concerns were though

hm sorry, i'm not 100% fair there as we do not have infinite backlog on free slack

https://snowblossom.slack.com/archives/CB4CYRTPG/p1529901220000147 Once someone is creating blocks with a higher snowfield, the weighting means that only blocks from that field will be added to the main chain.
