@aikida3k don’t say ROI when you mean breakeven

Hi, im trying to run my node and start mining. When I try to run my node I get a "failed to initiate logging" error, because it cqannot determine the JNI library name
2018-10-15 17:02:47
UpstateCS
any idea what im doing wrong/ missing?
2018-10-15 17:13:26
Fireduck
that is a new one, can you provide the full error or a screenshot?
2018-10-15 17:13:49
Fireduck
also, a lot of things that look like errors are actually fine
2018-10-15 17:17:19
Fireduck
there are some polish improvements that could be done :wink:
2018-10-15 17:43:32
Fireduck
90% sure you are using a 32-bit jvm
2018-10-15 17:43:38
Fireduck
install a 64-bit java
2018-10-15 17:43:48
Fireduck
or set "db_type=lobstack" in your node.conf
2018-10-15 17:44:02
Fireduck
but 64 bit jvm will be better for other things as well
2018-10-15 18:17:52
UpstateCS
I downloaded java 64bit, i right click and i get the same error, im currently redownloading the files
2018-10-15 18:18:43
Fireduck
What do you see if you open up a command prompt and do "java -version" ?
2018-10-15 18:22:29
Fireduck
that is still the 32 bit jvm
2018-10-15 18:22:33
Fireduck
maybe reboot?
2018-10-15 18:22:45
Fireduck
it should say 64-bit somewhere in there
2018-10-15 18:22:55
Fireduck
java version "10.0.1" 2018-04-17 Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.3 (build 10.0.1+10) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 18.3 (build 10.0.1+10, mixed mode)
2018-10-15 18:22:57
Fireduck
something like that
2018-10-15 18:26:47
Fireduck
yeah. Version 8 or 10 are fine, but the 64-bit is important
2018-10-15 18:27:13
UpstateCS
working good now, thanks

@UpstateCS are you Grumpy?
2018-10-15 18:28:06
UpstateCS
I made the unfortunate assumption that Java would automatically choose the 64bit version.
2018-10-15 18:28:21
UpstateCS
Grumpy?
2018-10-15 18:28:22
Fireduck
heh
2018-10-15 18:29:39
UpstateCS
@Clueless What do you mean by grumpy?
2018-10-15 18:30:45
Fireduck
I think me meant some user with that name he has presumably been chatting with elsewhere
2018-10-15 18:30:52
Fireduck
I wouldn't read anything into it
2018-10-15 18:36:42
Clueless
Another user in discord was messaging me about the exact same thing a just now.
2018-10-15 18:36:50
Clueless
and solved the issue at exactly the same time
2018-10-15 18:40:09
UpstateCS
ahh, that wasnt me
2018-10-15 19:12:04

Snowfeild sizes are based on ram amount correct?
2018-10-15 19:13:01
Fireduck
Nope
2018-10-15 19:13:22
Fireduck
Ram that fits the field helps
2018-10-15 19:15:49
UpstateCS
so for the most efficent mining with 32gb of ram id want the 32gb sized field?
2018-10-15 19:17:15
fydel
you need the 128 GB snowfield.
2018-10-15 19:17:37
UpstateCS
ok
2018-10-15 19:18:01
fydel
you cant mine with 32 GB RAM. you can only speed nvme or ssd mining a little tiny bit.
2018-10-15 19:18:34
fydel
to my experience you need at least 140 GB RAM in one machine.
2018-10-15 19:18:41
fydel
for RAM mining.
2018-10-15 19:21:09
UpstateCS
okay, anyone have a guide on SSD mining?
2018-10-15 19:38:41
mjay
Ram mining is not that much faster, if you consider the price for 140GB ram. When the next snowfield activates thats 280GB+, in the long term it will be ssd/nvme only

i host one for advanced users giving the probable or known engineering limits, dunno if that’s super useful for a general audience, but should give one at least an enlarged vocabulary to ask around with https://snowplough.kekku.li/wizard/ A quickstart wizard to help you get started with mining Snowblossom.
