    We've launched Snowblossom.   Clean, Original Code. Custom POW.  UTXO Built into Blocks Headers. Truly ASIC, Miner Centralization, and Quantum Resistant.   No Premining.  We're looking for legitimate involvement and interest. 

    https://snowblossom.org/

    https://github.com/snowblossomcoin/snowblossom

    The features we enable include:

    1. Aggressive IO based PoW with large deterministic files should be very hard to ASIC in any sort of cost effective way
    2. Quantum Resistance - Large RSA key support
    3. UTXO root hash in block header to be able to give provable results to light clients

    It has the usual features as well:
    Child-pays-for-parent (CPFP)
    Transaction immutability
    Resilient peer-to-peer network
    Decentralized design
    Halfing-block reward over time
    First Seen First Added FSFA (double-spend protection)

    Thanks for your time.  Spin up a node a check it out.  There are still some rough edges, but everything is working.

    When you mean rough edges, do you include the website? Because it's like I timetraveled back to 2000.

    Yeah, our team has a lot more backend programming talent that web design skills.  Also didn't want to do the standard glowing circuits over black obelisks with lightning storms in the background.

    you can just use the free templates out there. you know, simple but sleek designs. there are a lot already that you can found in google. no need of hard core programming skills.

    Try setting in your node.conf:

    db_type=lobstack

    This is a known issue.  We had more notes about it, but might have been lost in a wiki fire.

    So you need to either enable auto_snow in miner.conf to make field 3 or download it from here: https://snowblossom.org/snowfields/index.html

    Ah, auto_snow is running: INFO: Initial write complete

    Just give it time.  We are making the output more clear on that in the next release (already fixed in code).

    why mining rate 0? this work?

    So what is happening here is that it is trying to create the snow fields that you need to mine and then running out of RAM.  I'm guessing this is a pretty small VM?
    I haven't done much testing with systems small than 2gb in RAM.

    Those should generate pretty quick, maybe a minute or two.  However, those aren't the current files. The current one is field 3.  You should stop the miner and wait for the node to sync up and then start the miner again.
