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

[hankrules]

@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.

What is GCP?

interesting,
what are your plans regarding exchange listings?

So is this coin GPU minable? I couldn't find anything explaining the mining aspect of the project.

Could someone link me to this?

Thanks

No, its not. You´d need a GPU with 128GB memory, which does not exist. In the future it will require even more.

Check out the quickstart guide:

Unironically getting early day Bitcoin vibes from this.

Judging by the order-book now, I'd say others agree.

Can't wait to watch it unfold.

is it joke ? there is no about 128GB GPU memory in guide
i tried that on CPU, miner was working fine, but with 0 hashrate and no warnings that i don't have GPU

Like I said, its not GPU mineable, the reason is its memory requirement. You need a fast (NVME)-SSD to mine this.

so if current snowfield is snowfield.11, for example, i should have 2TB SSD and even larger ?

For snowfield 11, yes, 2TB, or 2x1TB or 4x512GB in one system. Field 11 is far away right now, current one is 7.
Hashrate has to quadruple for each new field, that is 256 times the current hashrate.

[testerx]

Who the hell are the miners with hashrates in the hundreds of millions already...that's thousands of NVMe drives worth of hashrate from single entities. Even conservatively you're looking at hundreds of thousands of dollars of hardware.

[pinball_wizard]

you need to download all the torrent file to start mining?

So you say it's GPU resistant because it needs an amount of memory that no GPU has. Have you heard about Radeon Pro SSG?

you know AMD is not good at mining, you will pay 6k $ for nothing

AMD may be not very competitive in mining when it's put against other GPUs, but this coin should be CPU-only, so if there exist a GPU that can mine it, it will be EXTREMELY efficient (few orders of magnitude better than the rest of miners - and that may be the explanation of these single entities that have loads of mining power).

It is not suitable for some scripts, but for some it is completely in working condition to mine. The main thing is to be able to set everything up correctly. As a result, for some reason everyone chooses another company-Nvidia whose miners are several times more expensive.

W10, java updated, rig rebooted

how can I fix this issue please?

[misterkit]

I just downloaded v7 to the snow folder.  Poolminer just keeps saying work block load error...java runtime exception...unable to select as field 7 but snow is working on it.

I fixed this by downloading the torrent file

Hashrate is rising .. about to switch to snowfield 8 (256GB)
