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

[NooSH !]

Hiya again folks,

Has anyone else experieced the issue I've been having?  Some assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you lots.

Hi, do I need to download "snow fields" and run local node to mine on pool? Or can I just run miner-pool.bat without anything else?

[driccardi92]

Any news? devs?

[Grumo]

Are there any pools setup?


Also, does it always have to re-write the snowfield when you start the miner? Or am I doing something wrong?

yes if you are mining with mem field it has to load in mem every time. Check out the discord for info on pools in the announcement channel. https://discord.gg/eA24HR

invite doesnt work

You can set ”node_host=snowday.fun“ or other pool address instead of running local node.

miner-pool.bat will check the  "snow fields" and download itself.

If you are looking for a pool to mine on, check this out: https://github.com/snowblossomcoin/snowblossom/wiki/Mining-Pools

If you search news on bitcointalk for this project you are gonna be lost , all is happening between github and the slack group, go on the minimalistic website and go check out slack, this project look better each day.

You don't need snowblossom-3 anymore, you need .6 now and .7 soon. And yes, the .11 is 2TB, every snowfield is twice the size of the previous one. This is the GPU/ASIC poison-pill: even if someone builds a miner for 128GB files, it will have a hard time once the 256GB snowfield is activated and most likely will be useless at 512GB and higher.

As far as I understand snowblossom, it uses those huge files via memory mapped IO if available on the OS, so it can do random-access operations on 4K blocks in those snowfields as input to its PoW. A general-purpose CPU with a lot of RAM and many threads would have a much higher throughput and therefore lower latency compared to an usual ASIC.

Seems like good project but not enough information available in this thread about this coin specs,algo and roadmap. Let me know how to mine this coin in windows and is it possible to mine with gpu?

[taserz]

Do we got a discord for this coin. I want more info and this thread is lacking quiet a bit. The github has most of the content.

[driccardi92]

i would like a more transparent mining software for this. im very interested but i cant even see if its actually working anything or its just downloading something or so.

Miners have to download such huge files?
This project looks like HDD mining )))
Unfortunately, I don't even have 128G for snowblossom.7...

Invite expired for discord, anyone can share invite?

[fonship]

If anyone will to sell, let me know.

lots of people asking for a link to discord so here you go.

Also pool available here.

Whats your hashrate?

I suggest joining discord or slack for assistance.

Nice to see another coin with quantum resistance and I might be wrong but it looks like it was built from scratch and it's not a clone, is it GPU resistant also?

[papacabeza]

@eltigre this is the quant coin I mentioned.

Still mining the llama snowfield! There's a great community on Discord and Slack for questions. AWS is a little cheaper than GCP. Fire up your instance soon so you can still mine in RAM, gets harder with next snowfield.
