this is just for the merkle proofs, correct?
mjay
2018-09-10 00:09:41
@mjay mostly.
Fireduck
2018-09-10 00:09:57
1) need to load chunks into memory for memory fields from somewhere
Fireduck
2018-09-10 00:10:02
2) yeah, the merkle proofs
Fireduck
2018-09-10 00:10:15
Could in theory do the merkle proofs over the network, but it is a ton of reads
Fireduck
2018-09-10 00:10:39
which is fine, except from a filesystem the kernel does a really great job of guessing that you want the next block and making it quick
Fireduck
2018-09-10 00:11:05
I could make that work well over the network, but I'd have to rewrite some tricky bits of code
Fireduck
2018-09-10 00:11:13
which is certainly doable, just haven't done it yet
Fireduck
2018-09-10 00:11:25
in the mean time, having to do NFS or the like seems like a reasonable compromise
Fireduck
2018-09-10 00:16:37
We might add this to the pools - doing merkle proofs. Not for all, but as a feature if the pool has enough ssd space
mjay
2018-09-10 00:17:59
sure, the workers could submit smaller work units (byte wise) with less work
Fireduck
2018-09-10 00:18:14
might be silly because the miners need that data to do the PoW anyways
Fireduck
2018-09-10 00:18:27
but I'm all for pools supporting different things as value adds
Fireduck
2018-09-10 00:18:52
I´ll give it a shot
mjay
2018-09-10 00:19:09
My java skills are a bit rusty, won´t hurt to freshen it up
mjay
2018-09-10 00:31:34
awesome
Fireduck

hello
Fable
2018-09-10 02:59:06
I have started to try and understand this project and would like to know basic information to operate the node, wallet, and miner
Fable
2018-09-10 03:01:29
Ok
Fireduck
2018-09-10 03:11:55
the wiki is a good start, let me know if you have specific questions
Fireduck
2018-09-10 04:19:56
blockchains are hard to design
Fable
2018-09-10 04:21:53
not really, there are a few tricky bits
Fireduck
2018-09-10 04:22:06
but most of it is just applying fundamentals
Fireduck
2018-09-10 15:20:13
Any mining tips?
Fable
2018-09-10 15:22:13
Well I didn't see the Arktika wiki
Fable
2018-09-10 15:32:40
It is under mining tuning
Fireduck
2018-09-10 22:26:18
How many shares should I expect a day? I downloaded the llama 7 torrent to the snow folder and configured the miner
Fable
2018-09-10 22:26:55
that depends on the current network difficulty and your hashrate
Rotonen
2018-09-10 22:27:27
also, why are you specifically interested in share counts?
Rotonen
2018-09-10 22:29:56
One Share is about 4 Million hashes, thats next to nothing in actual coins
mjay
2018-09-10 22:32:47
I was interested in share counts because none are being submitted
Fable
2018-09-10 22:32:58
just using an i9 7940
Fable
2018-09-10 22:33:11
What hash rate?
Fireduck
2018-09-10 22:33:48
well it looks like my hashrate is 0
Fable
2018-09-10 22:42:32
go through the early log output with a thick comb to see if there's anything obviously wrong, otherwise only look at the stabilized 1h hashrate after at least 2h of mining
Rotonen
2018-09-10 22:42:45
but a good indication of it doing anything at all is to take a quick peek at the cpu usage of the miner
Rotonen
2018-09-10 22:45:22
Oh no I guess the pool wasnt working, I changed pools and its working now. Sorry.
Fable
2018-09-10 22:45:42
Yeah I have been watching cpu and ram usage
Fable
2018-09-10 22:45:48
Thanks for the help
Fable
2018-09-10 22:46:45
which pool?
Rotonen
2018-09-10 22:48:11
@Clueless was that yours? not running one anymore or not having monitoring up?
Rotonen
2018-09-10 22:51:23
http://snowday.fun is not finding any blocks at the moment, it will me all or nothing. Maybe you want to switch to another pool
mjay
2018-09-10 22:52:10
also if the error message is not clear upon a pool being down, file an issue on github, that's a usability kink
Rotonen
2018-09-10 23:39:36
@Rotonen I was under the impression no one was using it, so I let it kludge
