[ANN] Snowblossom - new ASIC resist POW, quantum resistant, online now ❁

[fireduck]

INFO: Work block load error: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to select a field of at least 3.  Availible: []

What does that mean?

It's downloading the 3rd field, you have to wait for it to finish. Or download the torrent.

Which was faster for you?

Just to be clear, the options are generating the snowfields locally (which involve 7 random IO passes and then a bunch of hash calculation work).  Those can take a while if not done on an SSD.  The torrent should be pretty fast.

INFOS: Work block load error: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to select a field of at least 3.  Availible: []

Node is up, at last block.
Any idea ?

So you need snowfield 3, which you can generate locally by putting "auto_snow=true" in your miner.conf or downloading from:
https://snowblossom.org/snowfields/index.html

Just to clarify, all i need to start mining currently is the snow 3 file, right? the 8gb one

All up and running here.

i7 6700k getting 4700.0/sec give or take. 28 hours estimated to find a block? How many servers you running fireduck?  

Do you have enough ram to run it in memory?  You can try that and get much better numbers.

Only have 16GB of Memory  

And to answer the above, torrent was much quicker I found. I have a PCI-E SSD too.

It seems to me that there are some failures in this system.
I'm not until the end of assurances that I'm doing everything right, or maybe it's really something wrong with the system.

[fireduck]

Okay, so now for me it says periodically Work Block load error and then xxxx writes per second again, is it starting and stopping all the time or am i doing right?

Is it just warning you that you don't have field 4?  If so, then you are fine and it is working.
That warning just means that once the field flips to the next one (4), you won't be able to mine anymore.

That is enough to run in RAM for now.  If you are on windows, run miner-mem.bat

Windows is a serious hog, and can't get miner-mem working with 16GB.

When I try to start a node, it says unable to access jarfile snowblossomnode. Likewise with the miner. What am I doing wrong?

Yeah same here

It seems that mining for now is quite difficult for consumer level hardware. I have a gaming laptop with 16 GB of RAM on Windows and I am getting memory errors. Is this being addressed by the team?

[WhyMe]

Finally it works.

INFOS: Generating snow field at 101,58 writes per second.  Estimated total runtime is 40,15 hours. 0,00 complete.

Just lol ...

Yeah, torrent might be a better idea in that case.

The intention was that people would be mostly SSD mining.  My guess is that in a few weeks, very few will be RAM mining anymore and most will be using SSD or NVME so then the playing field is a bit leveler.

how to create wallet? it says it need client.conf

how to create wallet? it says it need client.conf

If you are running the windows release, just run client.bat

Otherwise you can just create a client.conf:
node_host=localhost
wallet_path=wallet

Those are all it needs.

This means you need to run the client first to make a wallet for the miner to send to.

So run client.bat and then try the miner again.

im under linux

edit: i ve done editing the client.conf and adding my address. cannot mine on wallet directly

Great project
