So im used to mining ETH based tokens, wondering what you guys recommend for snowblossom
i have like 300$ usd of free credit for 2 months on a vps provider too
otherwise i got a bunch of gpus
i was confused going through the hardware performance sheet because there's a mix of ssd's some vps instances with 32/64 vcores
2018-06-21 01:03:17
so currently you need 64gb of as fast of storage as possible
Fireduck
2018-06-21 01:03:51
so ram works if you can get a lot of it
Fireduck
2018-06-21 01:25:42
does it normally take a few hours for a miner to show up on https://snowday.fun/?
stoner19
2018-06-21 01:31:05
@stoner19 no it'll show up immediately unless my script doesn't work
Clueless
2018-06-21 01:31:09
lemme fix it
Clueless
2018-06-21 01:33:19
should be good now
Clueless
funny how you see familiar faces all over various slack channels @stoner19 is my homie from the dpos coins world
2018-06-21 01:33:52
long long time ago. Man, lisk was fun while it lasted.
stoner19
2018-06-21 01:34:00
DPoS is over-played now though
stoner19
nah man ark core v2 is the shit :stuck_out_tongue:
ill keep my ark node for as long as I can
2018-06-21 01:35:31
glad ARK is doing well. initially it just looked like a cash-grab project, but they fully turned it into legit shit
stoner19
2018-06-21 01:36:24
@Clueless looks fixed now. My miner showed up.
stoner19
2018-06-21 01:38:04
@stoner19 yeah turns out I did something wrong. :)
Clueless
2018-06-21 01:38:18
that happens from time to time when coding
stoner19
64gb fast storage you mean ram, not SSD im assuming @Fireduck
2018-06-21 01:45:28
Ram is faster than ssdy
Fireduck
2018-06-21 01:45:31
SSD
Fireduck
2018-06-21 01:45:56
But if you can't get ram, SSD works too
Fireduck
2018-06-21 01:47:12
wonder how many people are going to be unable to mine when we have to move up to showfields 8, 9, etc.
stoner19
2018-06-21 01:48:08
tempted to get another server, but I still have a lot to learn/understand here
stoner19
2018-06-21 01:48:33
My hope is that interest and value will make it worth it for people to get some bigger fast drived
Fireduck
2018-06-21 01:48:37
Drives
Fireduck
2018-06-21 01:49:02
@stoner19 everyone that has 1-2TB
Clueless
2018-06-21 01:49:02
Feel free to ask anything
Fireduck
2018-06-21 01:49:07
which a lot of people have
Clueless
2018-06-21 01:49:43
and honestly, if it becomes that popular, it won't matter if some people prefer to not mine
Clueless
2018-06-21 01:49:50
when
Clueless
2018-06-21 01:49:52
of SSD space, sure, but those who are relying on RAM to mine...
stoner19
2018-06-21 01:50:20
@stoner19 We've only made it ram minable because it was small enough to
Clueless
2018-06-21 01:50:46
will there be changes to prevent RAM mining in the future, or just let users do it if they have access to that much?
stoner19
2018-06-21 01:51:21
any idea what kind of timeline you're expecting for changing to snowfields 7, 8, 9, etc?
stoner19
2018-06-21 01:52:23
doesn't matter really
Clueless
2018-06-21 01:52:37
Well, I thought we'd be on field 4 about now
Fireduck
2018-06-21 01:52:45
So I have no ckue
Fireduck
2018-06-21 01:53:54
but I have no ideas for how to prevent memory mining, if people can swing it
Fireduck
2018-06-21 01:54:04
it is faster, but not insanely faster
Fireduck
2018-06-21 01:54:30
solid memory mining, 2mh, a solid nvme should be around 0.1mh
Fireduck
2018-06-21 01:56:07
2mh with what kind of memory?
stoner19
2018-06-21 01:56:41
either I'm doing something wrong or someone else knows how to optimize things and isn't sharing details with the rest of us :stuck_out_tongue:
stoner19
2018-06-21 01:58:22
Need at least 70gb of ram
Fireduck
2018-06-21 01:58:48
I get that with memory fs on Google instance
Fireduck
2018-06-21 02:00:08
I have 256...
stoner19
2018-06-21 02:00:23
and get about 0.6mh
stoner19
2018-06-21 02:00:38
Ok, how many cores and threads?
Fireduck
2018-06-21 02:00:48
Try two threads per core
Fireduck
2018-06-21 02:01:04
Memfield=true
Fireduck
2018-06-21 02:01:25
```
CPU(s): 12
Thread(s) per core: 2
Core(s) per socket: 6
Socket(s): 1
```
stoner19
2018-06-21 02:06:26
try more threads
Fireduck
2018-06-21 02:06:39
also give it a while to wrm up
Fireduck
2018-06-21 02:09:02
you mean get a different server with more threads?
stoner19
2018-06-21 02:21:19
miner.conf
Fireduck
2018-06-21 02:21:23
threads=64
Fireduck
2018-06-21 02:26:35
yeah, I changed that already
stoner19
2018-06-21 02:26:48
`591600.823/sec`
stoner19
2018-06-21 02:27:15
in `pool-miner.conf` though as this is pooled mining now with the difficulty up.
stoner19
2018-06-21 02:28:04
Maxing out cpu?
Fireduck
2018-06-21 02:28:17
at a max of 12 threads, yeah
stoner19
2018-06-21 02:29:43
Yeah, you are probably CPU limited
Fireduck
2018-06-21 02:30:38
bummer.
stoner19
what is the average spec that ppl are using here ?
what does this guide achieve https://github.com/snowblossomcoin/snowblossom/wiki/Install-from-Source
just getting a node? does this have anything to do with mining?
2018-06-21 04:14:03
Building from source is best reserved for devs
Clueless
im a dev in the making :stuck_out_tongue: trying to learn the hard way
2018-06-21 04:14:28
all the source build does is setup the thing, it doesn't do the work for you, you have to know what you're doing.
Clueless
in 3rd/4th year compsci
i got bazel install properly i think
2018-06-21 04:15:03
ah
Clueless
ill just try again from scratch using the quickstart and see how it goes. thanks @Clueless
do you guys know which ports should be opened?
for my dpos nodes im used to opening a specific set depending on mainnet/test/devnet
2018-06-21 04:19:53
mainnet=2338, testnet=2339
