For being involved in crypto and some of you since the early days, it's odd you don't know about masternodes and telegram lol. Just an observation

Has your only focus been on Bitcoin and not on altcoins?
2018-08-23 00:06:21
quantumblockz
That would make sense. Masternodes aren't a huge innovation and are only seen in certain forks.
2018-08-23 00:07:00
quantumblockz
But this is a whole other level of btc maximalism lol

Very little attention to altcoi s from me

I use telegram to talk to my one friend with a windows phone

@quantumblockz my focus has been entirely bitcoin

Yeah, I dragged him into this mess

i quite like snowblossom not promising much

It is the millennium falcon of crypto. Doesn't look like much but has got it where it counts.

Its supposed to get better tomorrow!
2018-08-23 02:22:52
bilounet
I'm already in tomorrow !
2018-08-23 02:23:01
Lev
well... is it better ?
2018-08-23 02:23:08
bilounet
nope
2018-08-23 02:23:15
Lev
damn it

the chunked version of field 9 torrent is up if anyone is into that sort of thing
2018-08-23 18:06:06

@Fireduck Sorry, I'm still lost with my problem from yesterday You mention to use "key_count=1 key_pool_size=0" But where should I use those arguments ? When I generate the wallet ? (client.bat key_count=1 key_pool_size=0) Or do I have to insert those parameters within a config file ?
2018-08-23 18:06:51
Fireduck
those go in the config file
2018-08-23 18:07:11
Fireduck
that basically tells the client to not create any extra keys when making the wallet
2018-08-23 18:08:03
Fireduck
copy the config file, change the wallet_path in the new config file
2018-08-23 18:08:06
Fireduck
and add those two lines
2018-08-23 18:08:23
Fireduck
copy client.bat as well if you are using that
2018-08-23 18:08:30
Fireduck
and point it at the new config file
2018-08-23 18:08:44
Fireduck
then when you run that it will make a new wallet
2018-08-23 18:08:51
Fireduck
which will have a much smaller export file
2018-08-23 18:10:23
Fireduck
However, I've opened a feature request for what you really want: https://github.com/snowblossomcoin/snowblossom/issues/118 Allow user to export the keys for a single address and the associated private keys for that address.
2018-08-23 19:05:28
mjay
Are there advantages of using field 9 right now?
2018-08-23 19:05:42
Fireduck
@mjay nope
2018-08-23 19:05:46
Fireduck
just being ready
2018-08-23 19:27:33

@Fireduck: Great, it works. Thank you so much for your help & assistance, you were really helpful :grin: Now I only get one instance when I export private key !
2018-08-23 19:27:49
bilounet
Thank u so much @Fireduck :grinning:
2018-08-23 19:43:48
bilounet
I'm so happy it's working !
2018-08-23 19:44:29
Fireduck
glad to hear it
2018-08-23 19:48:51

@Fireduck I dunno if it's been suggested/lost before, but it might be an idea to make the miners into torrent seeders (optionally) to help seed things.
2018-08-23 19:52:01
Fireduck
it has been suggested
2018-08-23 19:52:06
Fireduck
not sure if it is a good idea
2018-08-23 19:52:30
Fireduck
people run miners in cloud, cloud outbound data is expensive (sometimes as much as $0.10/GB
2018-08-23 19:52:39
Fireduck
Don't want to shock and awe people in that way
2018-08-23 20:01:58
Clueless
agreed. in that case it'd have to default to being turned off.
2018-08-23 20:02:11
Clueless
hell, you could make people pay for downloads ha
2018-08-23 20:02:23
Clueless
create incentive for miners to host higher fields ahead of time
2018-08-23 20:08:48
Fireduck
I have field 12 generated. :wink:
2018-08-23 20:08:56
Fireduck
it is a bear, taking days to sync even on local network
2018-08-23 20:13:57
mjay
do you need someone else to generate them? We could check the roots
2018-08-23 20:16:01
Fireduck
I've generated all of them on multiple machines to make sure
2018-08-23 20:16:36
Fireduck
Can't add 12 without a protocol change anyways
2018-08-23 20:16:51
Fireduck
since the root wasn't shipped with 1.0
2018-08-23 20:17:09
Fireduck
but it took like 20 days to generate so I just like to be ready
2018-08-23 20:18:20
mjay
12 is 4TB?
2018-08-23 20:18:29
Fireduck
yeah
2018-08-23 20:18:44
mjay
I guess we are ready for quite some time
2018-08-23 20:19:11
Fireduck
also, each field is a 4x hash power increase required to activate it
2018-08-23 20:19:31
Fireduck
so to get to those fields we would need bitcoin level of mining interest, probably
2018-08-23 20:20:28
mjay
to activate 12 thats almost 1TH/s .. if I did the math correctly
2018-08-23 20:20:55
mjay
probably more instances than aws has to offer
2018-08-23 20:21:15
Fireduck
11 activates at difficulty 47, ; 2^47/1e12 140.737488355328
2018-08-23 20:21:25
Fireduck
so 140 TH/s to reach field 11
2018-08-23 20:21:41
mjay
dont we have to divide by 600 seconds?
2018-08-23 20:22:38
Fireduck
oh yeah
2018-08-23 20:22:44
Fireduck
I was wondering why my math was so off
2018-08-23 20:23:11
Fireduck
yeah, 234 GH/s to reach field 11
2018-08-23 20:23:37
mjay
thats a lot :wink:
2018-08-23 20:24:57
Fireduck
with this monser PoW, yeah
2018-08-23 20:39:37
mjay
just started generating field 13, because I can :wink:
2018-08-23 20:54:55
Fireduck
oh god

If you don't have SSD that large, it will take like a year
2018-08-23 22:10:08
Rotonen
that’ll still be in time, most likely
2018-08-23 22:16:46
Fireduck
ha. I don't even have that much HDD storage spare.
