At which difficulty will a new snowfield be activated?
Johannes

41

thanks
Johannes

is it just me or had the difficulty gotten a bit less lately (down to 23 from 24)?
Johannes
2018-08-19 21:09:10
it is less, down from almost 40 to 39

I am personally only 1/1000th of the mining and I am throwing about a kilowatt of power at it
Fireduck
2018-08-19 21:10:24
so assuming my efficiency it is collectively using about a megawatt
Fireduck
2018-08-19 21:10:28
which tickles me
Fireduck
2018-08-19 21:12:31
in a good way or makes you conscious?
Johannes
2018-08-19 21:12:42
(and why does my pool miner report 23?)
Johannes
2018-08-19 21:13:32
in a good way, that people are willing to spend money on it
Fireduck
2018-08-19 21:13:37
means we might have something here
Fireduck
2018-08-19 21:14:00
so your personal difficulty to a pool is so that you are working on small enough chunks that the pool can tell you are doing work
Fireduck
2018-08-19 21:14:07
so that is what the 23 is
Fireduck
2018-08-19 21:14:15
it will adjust up if you mine fast
Fireduck
2018-08-19 21:14:24
and older pool versions adjusted it up faster
Fireduck
2018-08-19 21:14:53
ah ok, hm 39 is rather close to 41. Was thinking about renting a 256GB RAM server for a month
Johannes
2018-08-19 21:17:00
41 is 4x as much hash power as 39
Fireduck
2018-08-19 21:17:03
it is log2 scale
Fireduck
2018-08-19 21:20:12
OK thanks. Well, I think you are doing a good job constantly developing, the market for big-ass ICO funded projects is dead and a lot of people have a hang-over. PoW via hashing got a bad rep for energy waste - there are definitely people interested in snowblossom and other CPU-PoW projects :slightly_smiling_face:
Johannes
2018-08-19 21:20:49
yeah, it is fun
Fireduck
2018-08-19 21:25:41
Of course the fact that notsofast mentioned you on Twitter did help as well, I assume :wink:
Johannes
2018-08-19 21:27:06
I am out of the loop and don't know who that is
Fireduck
2018-08-19 21:28:24
One of the big guns when it comes to crypto mining, esp. spec mining. dude starts mining everything that looks promising within a blink of an eye
Johannes
2018-08-19 21:31:08
nice
Fireduck
2018-08-19 21:31:49
and from what I can tell (don't really know him) seems to be helpful and kind as well
Johannes
2018-08-19 23:03:29
@Johannes when did he mention SnowBlossom?
CryptoQuan

@Johannes Can you link the tweet where he mentions snowblossom
