Okay, I just started mining Snowblossom on a workstation and I am getting about 15 sec mining rate at about 19 H/s and it says it will take about 3600 minutes to earn a share? Will it take 2.5 days to earn a share and start earning snowblossom?
@aikida3k what sort of drive? Sounds like spinning hard drive, which doesn't work well.
Yes SATA HD
So mining is in order of best to worst, RAM, NVME, SSD, HDD
So what are the performance differences? I'm looking for some optimization to put equipment I already have into use. I have servers I mine a CPU coin with with 1.2 TB storage drives but they don't have that much RAM. What hashrate would 256 GB of RAM expect to get?
So the ram question gets complicated :wink:
If you can get the entire field into ram, then you are pretty quickly CPU bound
however, sharing the field over the network is surprisingly efficent
so a memory machine can let other machines on the local network become cpu bound as well
but roughly 100kh/s per modern fast core
On my home network I have an only dell R900 with 256gb ram. It can't do much with its CPUs but supports about 1MH/s of mining via other machines that are using its ram
That is worth a read if you are getting into it
What are you going to do when the fields get over 256 GB ?
me personally? I might buy multiple 64gb (or whatever is cost effective) machines and have them work as one.
I expect the overall difficulty will take a nice nose dive and then mostly people will be NVME and SSD mining
which was my intent when I wrote the damn thing
but who knows
It looks like it might work out as a form of staking.
actually
Stake memory in order to receive POW rewards
I don't know what staking means in this context
So it looks like if I am serious about this coin I buy RAM for my servers and cluster them as artika miners
I've heard it before but didn't understand it then either
yeah, cluster ram mine is probably the most cost effective
and has the plus of if the field gets bigger, just increase the cluster size
which also increases total throughput
In the context it means you have to offer memory in order to receive reward. You stake something of value to receive a reward. Most pure POS coins stake the coin itself; they are basically a form of interest.
Neat.
looks like it is about $1000 for a 64gb bare bones machine. looks like ram price has gone down.
Great. Thanks for the tips!
:slightly_smiling_face:
no problem
I should get back to writing json rpc interfaces
Hey Guys :wink: Sorry for my question maybe is a easy answer, can i launch more them 1 instance to mine on a single machine ? To be more clear, can i use all of my ram to setup one instance and use my based storage to run another instance. Do that gonna decrease my global hashrate ? Second dummies question, let's say i have 3T NVMEssd on a single computer, can i launch multiple instance or it will split my performance between every instance ? Thanks for sharing !
@Bibi187 precache, thread count
Hum kay so the limitation will inc from processor thread

silly intel, gold is for putting into a sock and mugging people
He said it is correct, robbed our wallet and let us buy expensive CPU
One day they launched a diamond CPU, which is more expensive.
Is the RichList down?
Probably
I bought more and wanted to see my new status!
I’ve got issues
I'll update it after I get to work
So you go to work to work on SNOW?
@Bibi187 more memory channels per core is good
@CryptoQuan heh, I do many things
updated
Hmm. That's kinda scary
u wot m8?!
well, even btc only has ~1M addresses with balance
last i checked, over 10^6 and under 2^10 addresses have balance
and the 1M cutoff is at ~0.2
