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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

If you are looking for a pool to mine on, check this out: https://github.com/snowblossomcoin/snowblossom/wiki/Mining-Pools
June 16, 2018, 01:16:08 AM
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?
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.
June 15, 2018, 12:16:47 AM
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/eA24HRAlso, does it always have to re-write the snowfield when you start the miner? Or am I doing something wrong?

This is one of the best looking projects I've seen lately. Glad I got involved early.

hiya folks!
I feel like a late starter already and we're only like a week in!
I'm having issues with node.bat that I haven't seen anyone else ask about.
I've installed Java, rebooted, and I'm running Windows 10.
I replaced the db_type value in node.conf with db_type=lobstack
Here's what I've got when I run node.bat:

I'm having a tough time understanding what the optimal hardware formula is for this project. Seems like RAM plays a big part, but I have a machine with half the RAM outhashing another machine. Is virtual memory applicable? I haven't won a single block and seem pretty confident that I won't at the rate of things... getting the snowfields isn't even an issue for me.
Insight appreciated!
It's more about RAM throughput. if you can fit the whole snowfield (note: it is now 64gb) into memory, then you are either going to be capped by CPU (probably) or (less likely) memory throughput. If you can't fit the whole thing in memory then it will (almost assuredly) be capped by throughput to disk.Insight appreciated!
BTW, there are now some mining pools set up, so you can get some snowblossoms by mining on there without requiring you finding an entire block!

Can you make a video tutorial?
