I logged into my VPS hosting the masternode and running snowgem-cli getinfo says

Code:
{
  "version": 2000350,
  "protocolversion": 170004,
  "walletversion": 60000,
  "balance": 0.00000000,
  "blocks": 206065,
  "timeoffset": 0,
  "connections": 125,
  "proxy": "",
  "difficulty": 8868.493096008546,
  "testnet": false,
  "keypoololdest": 1520930313,
  "keypoolsize": 101,
  "paytxfee": 0.00000000,
  "relayfee": 0.00000100,
  "errors": "WARNING: check your network connection, 179 blocks received in the last 4 hours (240 expected)"
}

what does this mean and is there anything I should do?

Ubuntu as well as all major Linux distributions have adopted Systemd as the init system for service and log management. The proper way to start a service (miner) on boot is to create a service file in /etc/systemd/system/ then enable it.

Hey guys,

can anyone tell me, why I am not able to set individual fanspeeds on my ubuntu 7x 1060 rig?

Not working (any #):
Code:
rig1@rig1:~$ nvidia-settings -a [gpu:#]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=70
rig1@rig1:~$ nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:#]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=70'
rig1@rig1:~$ nvidia-settings -a "[gpu:#]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=70"


rig1@rig1:~$

Working:
Code:
rig1@rig1:~$ nvidia-settings -a GPUTargetFanSpeed=70

  Attribute 'GPUTargetFanSpeed' (rig1:0[fan:0]) assigned value 70.
  Attribute 'GPUTargetFanSpeed' (rig1:0[fan:1]) assigned value 70.
  Attribute 'GPUTargetFanSpeed' (rig1:0[fan:2]) assigned value 70.
  Attribute 'GPUTargetFanSpeed' (rig1:0[fan:3]) assigned value 70.
  Attribute 'GPUTargetFanSpeed' (rig1:0[fan:4]) assigned value 70.
  Attribute 'GPUTargetFanSpeed' (rig1:0[fan:5]) assigned value 70.
  Attribute 'GPUTargetFanSpeed' (rig1:0[fan:6]) assigned value 70.
rig1@rig1:~$


BTW: setting
Code:
nvidia-settings -a [gpu:1]/GPUFanControlState=1
works (for any #.....

best regards
Code:
$ nvidia-settings -a [fan:1]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=70

I'm pretty sure they've already tried that, just were expressing the number as #.
[fan:#] instead of [gpu:#].

Windows 10, R9 280X (from 2013/2014 Scrypt mining days), Blockchain driver can get 9KSol/s but unstable and miner crashes after a few minutes.
v0.31 seemed to have fixed the crashing/segfault on Windows 10 and R9 280X but will test overnight.

Nvidia

GTX 1070ti 15.2k sol/s 17.5k sol/s


Can someone tell me how it's possible to get 17.5 Ksol from a GTX1070Ti

I'm mining @ 16 KSol with those OC settings : MEM +400 / CLOCK +0 / POWER 110W

Thanks.
18KSol/s with 120W, +200 core, +500 mem.

I saw that ZenCash secure node needs atleast 92% uptime to earn reward so I was wondering if something like that is also the case in the event of an outage. I think using Monit is unnecessary as all major Linux distros have adopted systemd for process and log management. This is the systemd service file I'm using:

Code:
[Unit]
Description=Snowgem daemon
After=network-online.target

[Service]
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/snowgemd
WorkingDirectory=/home/snowgem
User=snowgem
KillMode=mixed
Restart=always
RestartSec=10
TimeoutStopSec=10
Nice=-20
ProtectSystem=full

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Code:
systemctl enable --now snowgem.service

to start on boot.

Took forever to compile on a single core VPS and sync blockchain but finally finished setting up my first masternode.

 Cheesy that's a good news
Took forever to compile on a single core VPS and sync blockchain but finally finished setting up my first masternode.

It would be better to compile more quickly on your own (virtual) machine, and transfer binaries (snowgemd & snowgem-cli) to VPS

Simple Wallet is running in a Windows VM as all my mining rigs and other PCs are running Linux so what happens if I delete the VM? I have my wallet address private keys backed up.

If you have your private keys, you can restore your wallet everywhere, just go to tool -> import private keys then choose the privatekey files, your coin should be back.
How to unlock the 10k SNG?
What is masternode private key?
Should I backup masternode.conf/masternode private key?
Is there a "Stop MN" button?
What is masternode queue and how does it work?
What happens if the VPS provider suffers an outage?
What if I want to switch VPS?

Now I'm also getting this error when trying to send 10000 SNG:



Going to be hard setting up a masternode if I can't even send the collateral.
I've sent 10000 SNG to the new address in smaller increments. Clicking on “Get Outputs” button does not show anything.

not sure but I think you have to send exactly 10K in one transaction. Thats what i heard from every mastrnode guide out there regardless of coin/algo.
Wallet wouldn't let me send 10k at once.

Please follow the guide on faq: https://snowgem.org/faq
Q: I can’t send 10000 SNG for the collateral, what should I do?
A: Please send some small amount to another address (called A)  first, then increase number continuously (for example: 50, 100, 200, 300, 600, 1000, etc.)  util all coin is sent to ‘A’. After that, just send 10000 SNG from ‘A’ to the main wallet which you use for the MN.
That worked. Transferred 10k to s1c2QY5eWfPLbbEB6bGAGmgyJKngfoetNZw and now able to "Get Outputs".

I'm not mining any of the coins listed on there and the only reason I visit that site now is to get a quick glance of coin prices listed at the top of the page.

Getting 18 KSol/s with 1070Ti and 25-28 KSol/s with 1080Ti. Using Ubuntu 16.04, I've experienced a few segfaults but I'm running the miner using systemd with autorestart so this haven't crashed or locked up the computer. Applied same overclock settings as with DSTM miner.

The guide says "Next you will need to send the collateral (EXACTLY 10000 SNG) to this address" which doesn't specify if that needs to be in 1 transaction or just the final balance.
