Hi all, just joined

Hey
Fireduck
2021-01-15 02:51:34
I've been investing in various cryptos for a while and was told to check out Snowblossom as "the next big thing"
chris hofmann
2021-01-15 02:52:07
We would like to think snow blossom is the next big thing
Fireduck

if I'm like 90% idiot... is mining something that I'd be able to set up on my home comp or should I just stay away and stick with buying it on various exchanges
chris hofmann
2021-01-15 02:52:24
But I'd take that with some salt
Fireduck
2021-01-15 02:53:45
Mining isn't hard but making much with it is
Fireduck
2021-01-15 02:53:59
All you need is 256g if ssd or nvme
Fireduck
2021-01-15 02:54:12
But that won't make much
Fireduck
2021-01-15 02:54:25
You really need that much ram these days
Fireduck
2021-01-15 02:55:44
There is a calculator on the explorer.. http://explorer.snowblossom.org
Fireduck
2021-01-15 02:55:50
well I have that... Got Samsung 960 EVO 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive and 16gb ddr4-3000 ram
chris hofmann
2021-01-15 02:55:58
A good NVME is 100kh/s
Fireduck
2021-01-15 02:56:57
about 3 SNOW per month? you're right, that isn't very much
chris hofmann
2021-01-15 02:57:02
So that would get you about 3 Snow per month
Fireduck
2021-01-15 02:57:07
Yeah
Fireduck
2021-01-15 02:57:29
I don't really know who is running all this mining hash rate
Fireduck
2021-01-15 02:57:37
I'd still love to try it just to "experience" it... is there a 'how-to' guide anywhere?
chris hofmann
2021-01-15 02:58:19
(btw, thanks for even amusing me with these simple questions, I'm sure you have far more important things to be doing building out / expanding SNOW)
chris hofmann

Mostly arguing with daughter about what I will or won't put in her hair
Fireduck
2021-01-15 02:59:37
She wants every hair clip she can find in her hair right now
Fireduck
2021-01-15 02:59:56
haha, I'm glad I'm not at that stage yet; mine is only 6 months
chris hofmann
2021-01-15 03:00:15
This stage is fun. I can mostly reason with her.
Fireduck
2021-01-15 03:00:51
To play with snowblossom in general, I'd start with the iceleaf gui
Fireduck
2021-01-15 03:01:36
And maybe check out the channels stuff
Fireduck
2021-01-15 03:01:56
Some interesting things going on there
Fireduck
2021-01-15 03:03:26
alright, I'll check it out
chris hofmann
2021-01-15 03:03:38
are you familiar with the Parataxis Capital guys? they seem to think quite highly of what you're doing
chris hofmann
2021-01-15 03:06:19
Cool. Yeah, they seem to be fans
Fireduck
2021-01-15 03:09:39
any idea on when you might get listed on CoinBase?
chris hofmann
2021-01-15 03:16:18
Ha, no idea. They just launched their new onboarding process
Fireduck
2021-01-15 03:16:34
We have our Rosetta API implemented
Fireduck
2021-01-15 03:16:41
So who knows
Fireduck
2021-01-15 03:17:25
oh, for the new Asset Hub? very cool, wasn't sure exactly how that'd work
chris hofmann
2021-01-15 03:18:21
Nor am I. I filled the form out today.

@chris hofmann i have a rought howto from a while back for how to get started with mining
https://snowplough.kekku.li/wizard/howto/ A quickstart wizard to help you get started with mining Snowblossom.

There should be some instructions in the wiki, but we also have a docker image that makes it easier, and I should eventually update all that.

Thanks! I've been following the wiki, but having some issues. Going to try Rotonen's guide this evening - will let you know if I have any questions!
