TexasUnraid Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 lol, yeah chiagreen you get 500 for each block. Think I am up to 3000 or 4000 now. LTSC is what windows should be, no cortona, no edge, no bloat. I found the link to the ISO on reddit. Quote Link to comment
sota Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 just ran some extension cords, and power split my garage setup. 2 DL380G6 boxes on one line. 1 DL380G6 and the old farm box on the other line. they're on opposite phases as well. Quote Link to comment
sota Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 if you're going to run silicoin on the same install as chia and spare, you'll need to make changes to the config.yaml, otherwise it'll walk all over things. Quote Link to comment
TexasUnraid Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 wow, I see that. Explains why I could not get it to sync up. Hopefully they will fix that, not worth restarting the server right now so I guess I will give them a few days to sort that out before resorting to manually editing it. Quote Link to comment
sota Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 oh the green ones on spare, are the ones I changed myself, as the OEM values matched chia. Quote Link to comment
TexasUnraid Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I use hpool so guess that is why I have not had issues with spare. Quote Link to comment
sota Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I dug into the config for silicoin... stay away. it's all kinds of wonky stupid in there. Quote Link to comment
TexasUnraid Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 35 minutes ago, sota said: I dug into the config for silicoin... stay away. it's all kinds of wonky stupid in there. lol, yeah not rushing into it at this point. Stupid like scam or stupid like lazy? Quote Link to comment
sota Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 stupid as in, they didn't change things that needed changing, if you're going to run it in parallel with other farmers. started looking at the windows sandbox function, to see if that can't be used to run each farmer in its own sandbox, without having to dicker with the config files. probably not though.

TexasUnraid Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I have used sandboxie for years, works great although changing ports is not something I remember seeing an option for. Quote Link to comment
sota Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I keep having spare lose its daemon, and it stops passing plots. Quote Link to comment
sota Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 https://www.silicoin.cc/faucet note, it's still in testnet phase. Quote Link to comment
sota Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 also just noticed, spare and chain have the same UI port as chia. probably not helping matters, so I changed it spare 8322 chain 8422 Quote Link to comment
sota Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 still fighting with daemons that keep crashing. this time it was flax and goji. Quote Link to comment
sota Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 starting to wonder, maybe it's the "boot" drive in the machine. perhaps 12 total databases, getting pounded by all those processes, is a bit too much for an old 250GB SATA2 2.5" 5400rpm rust drive. might have to break out the spare 500GB SSD I have here, and plug that in, and move the install to that.

TexasUnraid Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Possible I suppose, I am running off an old 128gb ssd. Quote Link to comment
sota Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 have been seeing 100% usage on the task manager, but data throughput is < 10MB/s up or down. Quote Link to comment
sota Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 think the biggest problem I see with all this, is the conversion of any of these into something useful. at the end of the day, all these coins need to be turned into the standard bearer of currency across the globe... the all mighty U.S. Dollar. love it or hate it, but I don't see many places around here taking any kind of coin for payment. *some* places online will take them, like the bullion stores I shop, but that's it.

sota Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 here's another brain nugget for y'all... *IF* you use CLI to start the services, and you KILL the command window you started them in, you'll KILL the coin processes. Sometimes, you can't even KILL the command window, so you task manager DEAD the thing, and all of the sudden everything you've touched in that window, stops working. poor programming.

sota Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 what I stare at while working on all this plotting thing. Quote Link to comment
TexasUnraid Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) Something is up with the setup, if you HDD usage is pegged I think a lot of your issues lie there. I have none of these issues. Start them up by clicking the icons and it does take a bit for them to scan the plots / sync up and start farming but after that it has run for a week+ without a single hiccup. All settings are stock as well, have not had to do anything but enter my minomic and the paths to the plots. Edited July 6, 2021 by TexasUnraid Quote Link to comment
sota Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 yea I think i'm ordering some SSDs tonight after I get back from fireworks. Quote Link to comment
TexasUnraid Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I collect old SSD's for times like this lol. got several 128gb drives I use in place of USB drives and for random boot drives etc. Quote Link to comment
sota Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 knock on wood, but it's been almost 24 hours since the last farmer "crash" of any flavor. Quote Link to comment
