yeah

@wes notice the `&` at the end of `./node.sh &` it causes it to run in the background.
Clueless
yep i can see that when i do ps
2018-07-30 00:02:10
Cool
Fireduck
when i ran .client.sh it seems to have generated a wallet, however im wondering where is the pw or private key?
2018-07-30 00:03:10
@wes in the wallet file
Clueless
bunch of gibberish in that .wallet file when i open with nano
2018-07-30 00:05:19
you can do: client export filename
Fireduck
2018-07-30 00:05:24
to export the wallet to the filename
Fireduck
2018-07-30 00:05:35
does client.sh relay cmd line options?
Fireduck
2018-07-30 00:05:41
yes
Clueless
2018-07-30 00:06:40
The wallet is a protobuf message in binary
Fireduck
2018-07-30 00:06:51
Export will give it in plain text
Fireduck
not sure im doing this with the right structure
export [-fn] [name[=value] ...] or export -p typeset [-aAfFgilnrtux] [-p] name[=value] ...
false
i was getting command “client” not found
when i typed client export snow-XXXXXXXX.wallet
or client export snow-XXXXXXXX.wallet testfile
2018-07-30 00:11:39
@wes
`./client.sh export <filename>`
Clueless
ok got the new file and i can see a bunch of public/private keys
2018-07-30 00:14:55
@wes
• In order to run a script, you have to directly point to it.
• `./` means "in this directory" so `./client.sh` means client.sh in this directory.
• you can also do `/path/to/script/client.sh` to run it directly.
• If you run a command without a path, the system searches typical binary paths in the system to see if that binary/command exists, like `/usr/bin/client` or `/bin/client` (which don't exist)
Clueless
makes sense, figured that out real quick because i was in the wallet directory the first time i tried and it wouldn’t work.
had to back out so the ./ would be appropriate
or i could have changed the ./ i suppose
2018-07-30 00:16:09
@wes Windows has system paths it searches, the variable PATH, linux also has PATH
Clueless
2018-07-30 00:16:24
`/home/zac/.nix-profile/bin:/home/zac/.nix-profile/sbin:/home/zac/bin:/home/zac/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin`
Clueless
2018-07-30 00:16:29
That's my path on ubuntu
Clueless
2018-07-30 00:16:55
so, when I run `client` it searches those directories for a file named "client" to run.
Clueless
2018-07-30 00:17:01
but it doesn't exist
Clueless
2018-07-30 00:17:18
@wes also, you know linux has tab-complete right?
Clueless
Yeah ill have to do a bit of reading on setting up path in linux
but yes, i do know tab-complete, saves time for sure
so now that i have a wallet, and a file with a bunch of private/public keys, im assuming i need to update my miner.conf with the address
2018-07-30 00:18:54
@wes you typically don't have to set it yourself. but if you add `/var/snowblossom` or wherever your run scripts are, to your path, you can just run
Clueless
2018-07-30 00:19:03
`client.sh` from anywhere, and it'll work.
Clueless
2018-07-30 00:20:04
---
I might update my install scripts to do that
Clueless
thats a good idea
is there an easy way to torrent on ubuntu servers? I’ve set the auto_snow=true since ive never done torrents on servers
and im assuming i paste “snow:addresscode” in the mine_to_address field of the miner.conf
or do i not have to do that because mine_to_wallet=wallet will already know what to do
2018-07-30 00:24:40
@wes auto_snow will take a long time, snowblososm mining would be useless if you could generate it faster than you could mine it heh.
and yes, `snow:address` works fine. or mine_to_wallet will just grab it from file.
Clueless
Ok I’ve set my wallet address. How would i go about torrenting the snowfield then on ubuntu @Clueless
2018-07-30 00:28:22
aria2 is pretty common for torrenting.
Clueless
I made a directory called snowblossom.7 in the snow directory
2018-07-30 00:28:54
so, when you torrent snowblossom.7, it'll give you a `snowblossom.7` directory.
Clueless
oh ok ill remove it then
@Clueless side note, going back to the file with all the public/private keys, why are there so many and what do i do if I want to send some of the currency?
2018-07-30 00:33:18
@wes
1. Currently snowblossom doesn't use HD keys. And currently there's no method to make the quantum resistant HD keys. So there's no master keys used.
2. If you want to send snowblossom, you do `./client.sh send <amount> <address>`
3. If you want to give an address to someone, you could give them the private key to it, but it's easier to send the amount to their address.
Clueless
Ok gotcha, torrent is downloading and will take about 35 mins, after that’s done I guess i can run the miner.sh and everything should be good to go?
2018-07-30 00:35:48
mostly
Clueless
2018-07-30 00:35:57
I suggest you run the pool-miner with a pool though.
Clueless
2018-07-30 00:36:14
maybe even the recent arktika
Clueless
2018-07-30 00:36:40
@wes I like helping new people. It helps me better understand how to make things easier for everyone to use. :)
Clueless
2018-07-30 00:37:26
@wes More experienced people tend to just figure it out and make it work anyway, but that doesn't report the problem to me to fix.
Clueless
Ok you think with 128gb RAM instance its still worth doing a pool eh. I’ll take a look once this finishes. Help is much appreciated, i know a lot of the other node currencies have articles published on medium with screenshots that might help
or youtube videos
2018-07-30 00:40:48
@wes the ram gives you faster speed mining. You're still not mining so fast you can mine alone. typically.
Clueless
2018-07-30 00:41:06
I suppose I can provide screenshots.
Clueless
Any way to estimate how much ill be mining with that type of instance?
i have the server for free for 2 weeks, figured it would be best to get something, rather than waste free credit.
2018-07-30 00:47:33
@wes depends entirely
Clueless
hey @Clueless is your script going to solve the problem of the node.sh being able to run if i close my terminal window?
It seems the process was killed when i close my mac, the vpn auto cuts the internet connection when i do that.
and also wondering how many threads you recommend, i have 24 vcpu so does that mean i can do 24 threads?
2018-07-30 01:50:25
yes
Clueless
2018-07-30 01:50:32
you might want to do 48 actually
Clueless
ok, about to connect to http://snowday.fun pool and see how it goes
2018-07-30 01:52:12
Probably best to pick a pool that has a bit more hash rate
Fireduck
ok which one do you guys recommend?
2018-07-30 01:52:50
I like hamster science
Fireduck
lets see what kind of hashrate i can get
~125 K/s is that any good?
2018-07-30 02:07:03
Not for mem mining
Fireduck
2018-07-30 02:07:07
Is it going up?
Fireduck
2018-07-30 02:07:16
Might take a while to stabilize
Fireduck
2018-07-30 02:07:35
You should get at least a mh
Fireduck
its just jumped up to 150 K/s
running 48 threads
digital ocean 128gb 24vcpu instance
ill let it run and see where it stabilizes
@Fireduck If things aren’t performing well, what range of threads should i test?
my cpu usage looks like its around 28-30%
2018-07-30 02:28:44
You are limited by io speed to disk
Fireduck
getting better speeds with 24 threads
2018-07-30 13:23:57
what pool is snowpool on the explorer? I dont see one called snowpool on github
Shoots
2018-07-30 16:03:03
i see these errors in the node log: WARNING: Stream Error
io.netty.handler.codec.http2.Http2Exception$StreamException: Stream closed before write could take place
fydel
2018-07-30 16:03:08
is it bad?
fydel
2018-07-30 16:13:34
not particulary, but keep an eye on it @fydel
Clueless
2018-07-30 16:13:36
@Shoots dunno
Clueless
2018-07-30 16:46:18
it is not bad
Fireduck
2018-07-30 16:46:43
basically the only way we know if a client went away is when we get an error trying to send them something
