i am really suprised that so many miners left.
fydel
2018-06-24 16:46:13
I did expect to hit a wall like this
Fireduck
2018-06-24 16:46:29
I think it is a good sign, less ram mining
Fireduck
2018-06-24 16:47:55
i just started ram mining as the cloud folks went away
Rotonen
2018-06-24 16:48:25
yep. probably.
fydel
2018-06-24 16:48:41
seems like 400k per memory channel is about the ballpark one can expect, so quad channel workstations are actually the cost effective option for ram
Rotonen
2018-06-24 16:49:10
multi socket servers with more channels across numa nodes do not bring more channels per dollar into play
Rotonen
2018-06-24 16:49:55
generational gains in ram are about ~4% per generation and low latency ram tweaking brings you like 2% on top, so currently pretty much no matter what you do, 400k per channel is what's going to limit you
Rotonen
2018-06-24 16:50:25
with ssd mining a dual pci-e m.2 is gonna bring 200k to the table, so that could also do something like 400k with precaching
Rotonen
2018-06-24 16:51:10
and nvme seems to be 100k per drive, in potentia to 150k per drive, but that requires unsavoury trickery
Rotonen
2018-06-24 16:51:34
and sata drives seem to do 30k per drive, though some care could bump that to about 50k per drive
Rotonen
2018-06-24 17:09:51
I only have one board that might be new enough to actually use that 970 correctly, but it is back in a closet and I always have a baby to carry around so it hard to dig out.
Fireduck
2018-06-24 17:10:07
So I have it running at 50kh/s in some turd burlger
Fireduck
2018-06-24 17:11:09
the difficulty is now turning downwards, or?
Rotonen
2018-06-24 17:11:30
as in i'm not seeing it go down all that much
Rotonen
2018-06-24 17:13:19
It adjusts slow. Might take a few days.
Fireduck
2018-06-24 17:13:56
and a new vanity block marker

@ppp has joined the channel
somebody help me

Why not run PoolMiner rather than trying to solo mine?
Fireduck
2018-06-24 19:14:37
Are you on Windows?
Fireduck
win 10
2018-06-24 19:15:22
ok. Run node.bat
Fireduck
i am in a pool dont solo
2018-06-24 19:16:33
ok
Fireduck
2018-06-24 19:16:40
did you run pool-miner.bat?
Fireduck
mem-bat
2018-06-24 19:17:35
how much ram do you have?
Fireduck
128g
2018-06-24 19:18:57
That isn't going to be enough for memory mining, since you'll need 128gb + os + overhead
Fireduck
2018-06-24 19:19:02
so probably 140gb min
Fireduck
2018-06-24 19:20:23
Run pool-miner.bat
Fireduck
2018-06-24 19:20:31
if that works, then read the mining tuning section of the wiki
Fireduck
2018-06-24 19:20:38
you can make good use of that ram in a different way
Fireduck
2018-06-24 19:21:55
a 6 channel system with 192GB RAM would be king
Rotonen
2018-06-24 19:22:10
ram is so expensive these days
Fireduck
2018-06-24 19:22:25
My guess is one of the few facilities that can fabricate it caught fire
Fireduck
Work block load error: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to select a field of at least 7. Availible: []
miner-pool
I just downloaded the completed file 7
2018-06-24 19:24:22
ok, then your config isn't pointing to it
Fireduck
2018-06-24 19:24:42
snow_path in the config should be pointing to the directory that contains the snowblossom.7 directory
Fireduck
snow_path=snow
2018-06-24 19:26:23
ok, show me what is in your "snow" directory
Fireduck
2018-06-24 19:26:23
what do you have in `snow/`
Rotonen
sorry
it is working
2018-06-24 19:28:35
awesome
Fireduck
What kind of computer has higher hashes
I want to improve it
2018-06-24 19:30:51
on your computer, in the pool-mining.bat add -Xmx110g to the java command line
Fireduck
2018-06-24 19:31:09
and then in the config, add memfield_precache_gb=90
Fireduck
title miner (SnowBlossom)
start /B /LOW java Xmx110g -jar PoolMiner_deploy.jar miner.conf
pause
right?
2018-06-24 19:36:27
start /B /LOW java -Xmx110g -jar PoolMiner_deploy.jar miner.conf
Fireduck
2018-06-24 19:36:34
mixing a dash in front of the -Xmx
Fireduck
2018-06-24 19:36:37
missing
Fireduck
2018-06-24 19:37:03
If you do it right, the miner will spend a while reading in GB of data into ram on startup
Fireduck
memfield_precache_gb=90 add to where?
2018-06-24 19:40:58
Miner.conf
Fireduck
i will try
thank you good man
Start all over again
2018-06-24 19:54:36
Yeah, it is running out of memory
Fireduck
2018-06-24 19:54:49
There is a use old GC option somewhere
Fireduck
2018-06-24 19:55:07
Probably in the mem-miner.bat
Fireduck
2018-06-24 19:55:18
You need to use that
Fireduck
i need a more ram
2018-06-24 20:02:41
for upgrading the 6 memory channel Skylake-EP looks like a very good platform, next step up would already be a Xeon E7 (or whatever they call those now)
Rotonen
2018-06-24 20:33:23
jotted some numbers and would anyone have a cavium thunderex2?
Rotonen
2018-06-24 20:34:26
sorta leaning towards that as a sweet spot for hash / watt / dollar
Rotonen
2018-06-24 20:34:46
but arm java, dunno?
Rotonen
2018-06-24 20:35:25
not bad

heh, all the 'let us beat intel on at least one marketing metric' things are apparently all going for just the things which make snowblossom tick
Rotonen
2018-06-24 20:37:22
qualcomm centriq might also fare well
