we need more people in DEV:joy:
2018-07-17 00:54:52
Fireduck
I count for many
2018-07-17 00:55:03
Fireduck
I need less regular jobs

If you don’t know what a utility token is, in general you’re not in a position to worry about that part of the law :grinning:
2018-07-17 01:14:33
Jimtalksdata
Which is a good thing
2018-07-17 01:18:43
Jimtalksdata
IANAL, etc
2018-07-17 01:28:48
Fireduck
Ah, different legal status in some places?

Generally applies to people doing ICOs and trying to justify that their “created from scratch” aka fundraiser money is not a security

HI homies, I'm a recovering lawyer and still active in policy and regulatory space (mostly internet governance). Tried to mine this coin in week 1, failed, now a conspirator on this thread got things fired up again. I'm a happy miner. Anywhooo the issue for SNOW at the outset isn't a big thing, but it's not really a question of whether or not SNOW is a cryptocurrency. A cryptocurrency (or currency) isn't really a meaningful designation. The question is whether or not SNOW would be considered a "security" or not. From what I can tell the decentralized governance and community involvement (plus, no premine, right?) takes it out of most of the danger zone for being designated as a security. Now, that doesn't actually mean, at all, that it's a utility token. (That's a red herring for this purpose). The whole thing to avoid is the "security" designation.
2018-07-17 02:28:54
Shoots
I can't see how it would ever be classified as a security.
2018-07-17 02:29:11
PAPACABEZA
It's kind of an open question, actually, as to whether or not a project like this needs to formally adopt governance rules, or whether it's better not to. There's an attorney on Ravencoin that's opined that Ravencoin isn't a security and also that it doesn't need formal governance.
2018-07-17 02:30:20
Shoots
Interesting
2018-07-17 02:30:38
Shoots
You are a handy person to have around ;)
2018-07-17 02:31:11
PAPACABEZA
hey. :slightly_smiling_face:
2018-07-17 02:31:18
Shoots
@Fireduck http://qtrade.io appears to be listing lots of new coins that started similar to snow
2018-07-17 02:32:05
PAPACABEZA
Here's the ravencoin paper. I think you're right, @Shoots, it's hard to think of SNOW becoming a security but this is the kind of thing that's good to address via pro-active activity rather than dealing with a responsive inquiry.
2018-07-17 02:36:30
Fireduck
Ha. If the SEC is up in my business we've already won
2018-07-17 02:39:44
Shoots
That is an interesting read on rvn. It helped me understand what classifies a crypto currency as a security
2018-07-17 02:42:06
Fireduck
Yeah
2018-07-17 04:38:33
alistar
Is Snow a Security? haha
2018-07-17 04:44:43
Clueless
if I were to make a tool to notify people of payments to their addresses, what forms of notifications would you like?
2018-07-17 04:44:49
Clueless
and how would you like that to look?
2018-07-17 04:47:04
alistar
@Clueless I love a iOS or Android app.
2018-07-17 04:47:16
alistar
app wallet
2018-07-17 04:47:35
alistar
or web wallet
2018-07-17 04:47:50
Fireduck
web wallet? oh god
2018-07-17 04:47:56
alistar
haha
2018-07-17 04:48:06
Fireduck
doable, but would have to reimplement a ton of code in javascript
2018-07-17 04:48:34
Fireduck
anyways, I need to get to work
2018-07-17 04:48:50
alistar
I mined anther coin http://nimiq.com
2018-07-17 04:48:58
alistar
its wallet just web wallet
2018-07-17 04:54:17
Fireduck
ha
2018-07-17 05:00:55
alistar
but snowblossom's homepage must redesigned.
2018-07-17 05:02:08
alistar
it looks like from last centory.
2018-07-17 05:02:59
Fireduck
maybe it was
2018-07-17 05:03:14
Fireduck
well, my html skills are absolutely from last century
2018-07-17 05:03:23
alistar
and not friendly to mobile phone
2018-07-17 05:03:29
alistar
hah
2018-07-17 05:06:40
alistar
If want many people know the Snowblossom, we need a new website, friendly wallet. When I saw ur website first time, I think I visited a fraudulent website.lol
2018-07-17 05:06:41
Clueless
I can make a web wallet
2018-07-17 05:06:56
Clueless
but the problem is you should only use it on a dedicated machine
2018-07-17 05:23:16
alistar
anyway, wallet must be easy to use for end user.
2018-07-17 06:05:08
Fireduck
anyone know, if you are doing jsonrpc over http, should there be multiple requests per http post?
2018-07-17 06:05:11
Fireduck
or one per post?
2018-07-17 06:54:54
Rotonen
rather do rpc over websocket
2018-07-17 07:25:15
alistar
sir, can u help me to build a snow pool like ur
2018-07-17 07:25:28
alistar
like this thx
2018-07-17 11:52:58
alistar
why u add RPC in client?
2018-07-17 13:00:51
Fireduck
For people to integrate with for things like exchanges
2018-07-17 13:11:07
alistar
So may be we can integrate exchanges soon?
2018-07-17 13:12:58
alistar
I want a wallet with GUI, so I can advertise Snow to my Chinese friend.
2018-07-17 14:24:45
Fireduck
it will be relatively easy for someone who is into python or such things to make a gui wallet using the json rpc interface
2018-07-17 14:24:47
Fireduck
once I am done
2018-07-17 14:37:11
alistar
yes, I c.
2018-07-17 17:53:39
Fireduck
Anyone want to generate field 12 for me so I can check the hash that I'll hopefully have in another week?
2018-07-17 17:53:59
Fireduck
you only need a bit over 4TB of SSD
2018-07-17 18:06:07
Fireduck
INFO: Generating snow field at 4200.48 writes per second. Estimated total runtime is 497.05 hours. 0.55 complete.
2018-07-17 18:21:21
Shoots
wow
2018-07-17 18:52:29
Fireduck
yeah, it is a bear
2018-07-17 18:52:49
Fireduck
plus it will have to be a SIP to include the next set of fields
2018-07-17 18:52:58
Fireduck
but probably won't need them for a while
2018-07-17 21:38:31
Lewlowned
Hey guys
2018-07-17 21:38:44
Lewlowned
Just wanting to know what wallet of the ones listed in the releases section should I download?
2018-07-17 21:38:55
Lewlowned
I am running windows, but noticed it said it is OS agnostic
2018-07-17 21:39:07
Fireduck
Most recent
2018-07-17 21:39:09
Lewlowned
IS 1.2.0 the one I should run?
2018-07-17 21:39:15
Fireduck
Yeah
2018-07-17 21:39:23
Lewlowned
Beautiful! Thank you Fireduck
2018-07-17 21:40:27
Fireduck
No problem
2018-07-17 21:40:50
Fireduck
I am at nordstroms. It looks like they are shooting a commercial.
2018-07-17 21:43:32
Lewlowned
That's hilarious
2018-07-17 21:43:39
Lewlowned
So, this is probably another stupid question
2018-07-17 21:43:43
Lewlowned
but is there no GUI wallet?
2018-07-17 21:44:00
Lewlowned
And, as someone who isn't SUPER techy, is a non gui wallet easy enough to use?
2018-07-17 21:44:19
Lewlowned
Do I just run the Client Batch file?
2018-07-17 21:44:48
Lewlowned
I apologize for the incredibly simple questions, I just try to err on the side of caution with things I don't know
2018-07-17 21:46:12
Columna Cripto
First the node, then the client, that's how i do it.
2018-07-17 21:52:14
Columna Cripto
Hi lads, i would have a question as well. If i want to set a fixed difficulty for a pool, i just add a dot behind the address and then the difficulty (address.difficulty). Is that correct?
2018-07-17 21:53:41
Lewlowned
Thanks man!
2018-07-17 22:01:22
Fireduck
@Columna Cripto that feature does not exist
2018-07-17 22:01:44
Fireduck
It is a good idea
2018-07-17 22:07:15
Columna Cripto
Thanks a lot for that answer. So there is nothing i can do - except a restart of the miner - to stop the pool raising my difficulty over the time?
2018-07-17 22:18:24
Fireduck
Currently, correct
2018-07-17 22:18:36
Fireduck
It shouldn't raise it too high
2018-07-17 22:18:51
Fireduck
It it based on how fast you solve shares
2018-07-17 22:33:51
Columna Cripto
Ok, that will bring up another questions. I don't really have a lot of experience mining, but i have the impression, that a share every 30 minutes is a bit too long. More or less, i have the feeling, that i don't get enough coins that way. Even that i know, higher difficulty get your bigger shares. Thanks for the help.
2018-07-17 22:34:22
Fireduck
the variance is problem
2018-07-17 22:34:38
Fireduck
when the difficulty creeps up too high it is hard to know your mining rate
2018-07-17 22:34:46
Fireduck
since the shares are so infrequent
2018-07-17 22:38:05
Fireduck
that should help once pools update
2018-07-17 22:45:18
Columna Cripto
Thanks for the support. It's a pleasure to learn mining based on snowblossom.
2018-07-17 22:47:40
alistar
why one wallet need 8 addresses？for anonymous？thx
2018-07-17 22:48:20
Fireduck
@alistar that is just from that first version of the client
2018-07-17 22:48:28
Fireduck
the next release will have a better one
2018-07-17 22:48:47
Fireduck
and yes, for privacy it is preferred to use a fresh address for each transaction
2018-07-17 22:49:01
Fireduck
the new client will create them and give them out as needed
2018-07-17 22:49:22
alistar
got it
2018-07-17 22:50:10
Fireduck
the new version is checked in already, you can try it if you build from source
2018-07-17 22:51:07
alistar
thank u, i will have a try.
2018-07-17 22:55:36
alistar
is high tps necessary for a coin? what is the tps of now?thx
2018-07-17 22:56:20
Fireduck
transactions per second? We could do 10 tps pretty easily based on my testing in testnet
2018-07-17 22:56:27
Fireduck
however, we average 0 tps
2018-07-17 22:56:55
alistar
yes,most of us just mining snow
2018-07-17 22:58:24
alistar
very little transaction here.
