After building from source

@Rotonen thanks, I'll look at that

I ran the 'poolminer.sh', but nothing happened, not seeing any output in console. I'm not sure if the mining working. Here is what I've done: ran node.sh, client.sh; add pool_host to the config file, ran poolminer.sh. OS: Ubuntu 16. Is this correct to mine, what's been missing? Thanks.

I got the log: INFO: 15 Second mining rate: 0.000/sec Aug 25, 2018 8:21:31 PM snowblossom.miner.PoolMiner printStats INFO: 1-min: 0.000/s, 5-min: 0.000/s, hour: 0.000/s Aug 25, 2018 8:21:31 PM snowblossom.miner.PoolMiner printStats INFO: we seem to be stalled, reconnecting to node Aug 25, 2018 8:21:31 PM snowblossom.miner.PoolMiner subscribe INFO: Subscribed to work Aug 25, 2018 8:21:31 PM snowblossom.miner.PoolMiner printStats INFO: Shares: 0 (rejected 0) (blocks 0) Aug 25, 2018 8:21:32 PM snowblossom.miner.PoolMiner$WorkUnitEater onNext INFO: Work block load error: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to select a field of at least 7.

you have no snow field

grab a torrent of field 7 from the site

pool mining also need snow field?

all mining needs the snow field, pool mining does not need a node

do you mean this one: 7 llama 128G 147d379701f621ebe53f5a511bd6c380 snowblossom.7 snowblossom.7.chunk

correct

you only need the chunked field if you want to split the mining across multiple machines over a network with arktika

so grab the normal one for pool mining

why choose #7? do I need to update this file in the future?

as difficulty rises, the field sizes grow

8 kicks in at difficulty 41, that’s not gonna be too soon

thanks, do I need ssd?

ram is better than optane is better than nvme is better than sata ssd is better than hdd

my web design fails 'what is a link', but i have some figures and ballparks jotted down https://snowplough.kekku.li/wizard/ A quickstart wizard to help you get started with mining Snowblossom.

@Fireduck you might want to put a warning blurb on the downloads page for the chunked fields that they do not work for 'normal mining'

yeah

how to backup the wallet?

"client export" command?

That or just backup the wallet directory
