there's a calculator here
how accurate is that?
for 90kh/s the result is 3.6snow/month

Sounds about right

But the network hash rate could change

https://wiki.snowblossom.org/index.php/Mining/Pools is there any new pools that have not been added here yet?
it seems that some of them no longer work
that seems very hard to mine
2019-06-25 01:14:45
You mean complex or that the mining doesn't make much?
Fireduck
I mean it doesnt make much now
based on the calculator
2019-06-25 01:19:05
Yeah, some folks are mining it hard
Fireduck
2019-06-25 01:21:56
Not sure who

the nethash has stabilized at a level of 1000+ enterprise servers or 50 000+ low power nvme mining setups
Rotonen
2019-06-25 03:49:51
the truth is probably some fuzz between those two rough figures
Rotonen
2019-06-25 03:50:00
Which seems crazy
Fireduck
2019-06-25 03:50:54
well, at least the mining has been so non-trivial since the beginning that the interest in the coin seems genuine

in 5U enterprise server terms, that's 5000+ rack units of hardware, so 120+ 48U racks of hardware, and if one assumes one can fit 3 nvme miners per one rack unit, that's ~17 000+ rack units and ~350+ racks
Rotonen
2019-06-25 04:01:23
and electricity consumption, if assuming 5kW per enterprise server, is some 5GW, and in low power nvme, about 1,2MW
Rotonen
2019-06-25 04:02:55
Did you mean 5MW on the high end?
Fireduck
2019-06-25 04:06:25
no, giga
Rotonen
2019-06-25 04:06:50
there's a reason why i'm telling people to build their farms onto nvme
Rotonen
2019-06-25 04:07:26
but quick numbers, not unreasonable to assume i've cocked something up there
Rotonen
2019-06-25 04:08:50
5KW * 1000 = 5MW. Have I gone crazy?
Fireduck
2019-06-25 04:11:03
you have not, i cocked up the order of magnitude
Rotonen
2019-06-25 04:11:41
the efficiency gap is indeed in the order of something like 1:4
Rotonen
2019-06-25 04:11:54
Cool, makes sense.
Fireduck
2019-06-25 04:12:24
I'm glad people feel it is worth putting hardware to work on
Fireduck
2019-06-25 04:12:26
if the surf miner works, that could widen to something like 1:6 with next gen nvme on pcie4
Rotonen
2019-06-25 04:13:20
It should in theory work but something isn't working right there so maybe I have something wrong.
Fireduck

if nvme pulls up to a 1:10 gap in energy use, then the hosting density gap becomes debatable
