Yeah I agree def not for everyone. 

How many crowd sales are they going to do?  How much money do they need for this project?

And what is the point of having 10k in your wallet to participate?

Doesn't seem like a fun project.

great.   I like Jminer anyways.  Is GPU assisted so i reads your files faster then just using your CPU and I have found it does work with intel or AMD based integrated graphics.  You dont need a Video card.

Here are the instructions that I used.  But I am using the miner that Luxe posted.  JMiner.
We have a v2 pool running at http://178.62.39.204:8121/
The v1 pool will be converted to v2 in a day or 2, but setting up the migration would have delayed this release, and only running that one on v2 could result in a dangerously high portion of network hashrate on one pool, so it's better to split it for now anyway.
Usage:
You will need the pocminer_pool posted previously when the v1 pool was launched: https://mega.co.nz/#!7hwHQJLZ!-waC7CwWeMStkdAwjEVbew1fN_YqeZDRWMWfCylaNPo
Reward reassignment has not been integrated into the wallet gui yet, however an extra html page was included in the 1.0.3 release that you can use. http://localhost:8125/rewardassignment.html
Below where it says set reward recipient, fill in your passphrase, and put the pool's burst- address where it says recipient, and submit. This will have a fee of 1 Burst. It should come up with a page of a bunch of details you won't care about if everything is good.
Once the transaction is in a valid block + 3 confirms, you should be able to use the pool. You can check the users list on the pool to make sure that your numerical account id is there(your generate address)
Edit the pool's ip/port into the run_mine file for pocminer_pool.
Rename or move your passphrases.txt file, since pocminer_pool will try to solo instead if it sees a correct passphrase for those plots.
Starting target deadline is 75k
PPLNS
When your balance hits 500 burst you get paid.
All users who have not upgraded to 1.0.3 are now on a bad fork
V2 Pool allows you to mine with your solo plots. You do NOT have to regenerate plots if you have solo plots. v1 pool users can keep mining without doing anything. the v1 -> v2 migration for v1 pool users will be transparent to them, and not require them to do anything.

And here is the link to the JMiner download on the playground.
http://playground.burstplayground.net/site/dload.php?id=7

So far I have learned that you don't need to have 500 coin s for a payout and also the pool rejects any deadline above 200,000.

I have received at least 4 more pay me st since my last post.  So far it is the best paying pool I have used.  At least for me anyways.

Ahhh ok.  Yeah the V2 is very active.  A long list of miners.

I will have to check out your pool to.  Wasn't sure about the pool and wanted to log in.  As I wasnt sure if you needed to be to fine.  Did really read all that much anyways.  So Ill add you to the list of pools.

I thought the same thing about each pool being the same besides when they pay out or at what amounts.  The I realized that this isn't true.  So far anyways.  I guess time will tell.  So far made more in a single day off V2 then I have in 3 days or so on other pools.  Maybe it is simply I lucky day.  I will see over the next few days if the payout continue like they are.

6.1TB currently.  But I was just stating that so far V2 seems to be surpassing all other pools I have tried.  Most other pools I have been in took all day to even get 300 coins.  my last received amount was 300.15743 which only took 4 hours compared to the 12+ hours its been taking.

And Elmit don't you run a pool.   Theme Red?  I see registration is closed or not working if that is your pool.  basically I am moving threw pools to get general statistics.  So when someone new needs this type of information it is available besides people stating that a certain pool is the best pool.

Not going against anyone who operates a pool.  cough*cough* Crowetic.  Love your pool.  Just want to be able to give the information to people when they ask for it or have questions about certain pools.

All my information is being based on a 6.1TB of plots.  As I figured I would do this now before I added more as I would have to guess anyone who gets into Burst would be able to have a rough idea as to what to expect from mining.  Which will be done again when the amount of coins drops again per block.

Was just stating that currently V2 seems to bring in more then all other pools I have tried.  I am guessing it may be because the number of users and the probability of the pool getting a block.  Unsure.   But so far it has been paying more frequently then the others.

Does anyone else use V2 for a comparison or how often you get a payout?

anyone using v2 pool?

i have been jumping pools to see which one works best for me.

So far V2 has been paying out every 4 hours or so to me.

between 250-350 each payout.

If this stays on track it should pay out 6 times a day.

Even at 250*6 would be 1,500 coins a day.  Even though I am expecting more.  But this is better then the 300 coins a day I am making else where.





AND.....it looks like someone has been working on the Busrtcoin.info website.  Given her a little face lift are we.  Error trying to access the blog area though.  And also the link for the forum should be changed or updated as that forum isn't working and hasn't been for a while now.

Prime example of some of the things i mentioned in the new [ANN]. 

Well hello back.   Glad to you stopped by.


I am starting to see a few issues that may be causing the price of Burst to stay low.  And I would guess that unless there is a change then it will not go all that much higher.  We need changes.  I am sure others agree.

1.  Price verses cost of miner setup.  HDD arent cheap for anything worth while.  And the average computer has between 500-1000gb.  Which you can mine with.  But you can not expect much from mining unless you are lucky.  Buying additional HDDs or other media isn't really that cheap.  I just recently upgraded to 6.1TB.  Yeah my deadlines have improved and I still get coins.  But no where in the amount to make back my ROI anytime soon.  Seems the difficulty for the little guys will not pay enough to get anyone that has a brain in on Burst that is looking for any kind of profit.  Unless they like the concept as I do.  If I didn't like the concept I wouldn't be here. I would be playing with another coin.

2. Not having an active dev to develop something new is a killer to anyone that has been around the coin game for a while.  I know Crowetic has mentioned that Burst in back in development.  Unless I am wrong here. As I am from time to time.  People that know or think there is no core team will stay away from this coin because they see it has not having a future.  Which the way things are right now.  Burst does not. As I said as of now. Not saying that it will not.  But what happens when all the coins have been mined as a few have mentioned.  Receiving transactions fees will not be worth it at the price it is now.  What kind of fees can be earned will be another question.  We will have to find out.  I would assume.

3. Empty blocks.  I have been watching the blockchain and see a LOAD of emtpy block.  With no transactions.  This shows that there are times that Burst is not being traded.  This is a downfall and has killed hundreds of other currencies.  Some may not agree with me on this but you can tell alot from watching amounts in a blockchain.  Some people even use this way of thinking to buy shorts or longs as it is a way to guess at what the price may hit using an equation.  Some have used this idea for their shorts and longs.  You can find a pattern.  Know when the heaviest traffic is online and trading. and a load of other things.  Just means to me that Burst isnt highly active.  I am also talking about the blocks that only have like 100 Burst in them.  In my mind it rounds down to 0.  and still looks empty.  Anyone following me on what I am saying?  Pretty much activity is low compared to other coins.

4. Mining solo.  Cant be done unless you have a massive amount of HDD space.  With the current diff you have to be extremely lucky.  And if you are.  you are awarded 4,801 Burst coins.  Which is at current price (17) only 81,617 sats.  You would be better off mining BCN or something with your CPU.  Unless you are willing to buy $20k or more worth of HDDs it really is not worth it.  and even then your ROI increases and who is to tell when that would be recovered.

5. Pool mining is great.  There only seems to be a handful of pools that are active.  I seen one yesterday from Italy that had only like 7 people mining in there.  There rules stated all round shares reset after 97 rounds with no blocks found. OK.  So these people seem to not be mining anything unless they have something heavy to contribute or get lucky.  And yet again they have to split there shares by pool rules.  Making hardly anything.  I know in mid to short term.  Mining period is not worth it.  If you had to purchase all you HDD space.  Again the ROI figures in and you have to see how long it would take to even get a tiny return.  So some of these people are getting only like lets say 1200 coins aday.  That only comes out to around 20,400 sats a day.  At that rate it would take you ages to earn a single BTC.  4,901.2 days at current rate if they only mined 1,200 coins aday. That is a little over 13 years.  Trust me people see this and stay away.  I am on Ninja currently with the 6.1TB and I am seeing only around 300-600 coins per day.  at the 600 per day that takes me to 26 years to earn a single BTC.  That would put me around 60 years old.   
Again not worth it for anyone unless they have a large farm or like the concept.

6. Setup of the wallet and mining.   Some hate it.  Absolutely hate it.  I have read this many times.  And there are guides but they do not go into    details as some need.  It isn't all that simple for someone who has no idea about Java or how to modify a .bat.  There should be GUI that is more user friendly.  I know that would give us a better standing with a few out there and may have a huge impact on new Bursters.  I am sure there have been at least a few that have just given up because they couldn't get it to work correctly.

7.  Now please don't bash me for this but I have to mention it.  As it does have an impact.  When I am sitting watching the winners of block on Ninja.  I see one name over and over again.  Today at one time there were 14 out of 20 blocks that were mined by a single person.  I am sure you know who I am talking about.  I am not bashing him.  Just have to mention that this is an issue for all of the burst community.  Unless 1 of 3 things were to happen.  1.  He stops solo mining and joins  a large pool to move the burst threw the community.  2.  He stop mining entirely for a bit to drop the difficulty.  3.  He spreads some of his farm out to high end pools.  I do not see the price of Burst moving up much higher then it is currently if one of these do not happen.  Unless there is a major feature added and people get involved.  These coins are suppose to be decentralized.  Doesnt work that well when one person is mining over 1/2 the coins issued in a entire day.  Not healthy for the coin.

Over all The price is at a place that it shouldn't be.  It should be higher.  But there isn't enough Burst being passed around or a reason for people to buy it up.  Their for the Burst price is going to stay close to what it is.  Plain and simple Burst is its way to that dead coin title.  It just hasn't happened yet.  But give it time with no change and it will.  Unless someone has like $10k around to buy up alot of the Burst in the Markets the  price isnt going to high.

I mentioned a few things above.  I know some of you will criticize me on.  But personally I dont care.   Not being mean when saying that but I just don't.  The grim reality is that there needs to be change and unless a few are willing to make the big leaps and do what needs to be done.  Burst is what it is.

The way it sits right now.  Once all the Burst is mined.  The coin will die.  We need reasons for its use.  I know Crowetic mentioned a few things and was wondering why it isn't doing better.  Some of the things I mentioned above are some of the reasons. Why it isnt doing well.

I love Burst and would love to see it do better.  I have loads of ideas and have been working on the Playground.  But I am no where near where I need to be with it for full on live games.  It just takes time and I hope I have enough before less and less people see this coin or get active in this coin.

There are more reasons.  I am sticking around to the end.  I hope we can turn this around.  I have seen new people get interested.  Which is awesome but we need something to offer them. Lets all come together and make Burst better.  We need to.

Praodn my splleing.  I am Illiterate as smoe of yuo konw.

So is using the storage app DriveShare worth it at the moment?  I mean are they still in testing and paying out in SJCX HDD farms?

SJCX able to be farmed, mined, or anything?

Well no need for a GPU.   I just used my integrated.   On the intelIi am pulling over 100MB/s compared to 30MB/s and on the radeon R5 I am up to over 60MBs up from 15-20MBs  running 6TB in under 22 secs now instead of 125 secs.

Thanks Luxe im using the miner you posted with the GPU support.

Not only that but I have noticed these mining calculators aren't very accurate.   When I used the calculators they said I would mine around 300 coins per day.  I get at least double that daily.    Burst coin isnt like mining BTC.  The coins are different.  Even someoe with 1TB HDD can win blocks against someone with say 100TB.  Dont discredit this coin until you have tried it.  Plus you all ready own mining gear if you are reading this on something other then mobile.

Never thought of it that way.   Emm.   Guess im gonna be buying a new GPU.  What would you recommend?

Anyone know who owns BurstForum.com?  Been down for a while.  Well not down but def not being updated or actively worked on.   Always an error.

Because those links seem to be floating everywhere.

There are a few guides I have seen in my venture.  However I am unable at the current moment to locate them.

You can find almost all the downloads in the BurstPlayground.net download section.  It is still being developed but the downloads are there.  Not sure on permissions though you may have to create an account access them.

What is the exact issue you are having with the installation you are trying?

Have you downloaded and installed the current version of Java.  Curious as no java no burst locally anyways.

To let you know the prices on your website are incorrect.  Burst Coin is not 769 sats each.   I think you have some code wrong somewhere.  Please check this.  It is incorrect.  Prices are only around 17 sats each.

Thank you

Ahh ok.   Any advantage to using Luxe's miner?

And I only have 1TB left to plot on the external so ill just continue with the CPU at the moment.   I have learned that the AMD 7410 quad core A8 isnt as good as the Intel I5 for plotting anyways.  I write about 2300 nounces a minute with the AMD and over 5k nounces with the intel.

I plan on buying more HDDs in the near future.  Personal mining I want at least 25TB.


Also,  the Playground is coming along pretty good.  Still adding content and features so there are bugs but they are being worked on daily.  Also working with the CEO and founder of the portal I am using.  I have ported him directly in the portal and he is doing any code fixes that are needed.  He has fixed a few major issues so far.  Everything is going great.

PGround3 has also sold out.  As of Last night.
I have issued the final asset Phase.

Name: PGround4
Asset ID:    13281894741436495007
Amount: 500,000 @ 45 Burst each.

This brings the Playground Asset to 800,000 issued.  This is the final asset to be issued for the Playground.  These seem to be being traded. Not heavily but they are being traded.

This Phase will be used to buy other assets to support them and us as well as to build a small mining farm for the investors for a weekly payout in burst.

I am still getting around to writing Asset report templates so all holders can see where all the assets are and how they are doing.  I will be doing an active doc on the Playground that can be updated and viewed by everyone. And a payment is due to asset holders.  I do apologize for the delay as I have been busy with everything else.

Hope you all are enjoying Burst.  I know I am.

Stop by the Playground and create an account if you haven't done so already.  See what is there and what we could offer.  Major features like dice, lottery tickets, and other live games.

Stop in and hang out help build this community.  We all benefit from it.

I wish I was that lucky.  All my graphics are integrated.  To bad there wasn't a cheaper alternative.  Kind like an ASICs just for plotting.  That would be awesome.  Write plots with a USB port.

It will be done tomorrow sometime.  Hopefully by morning.  That would bring me up to 5.1 TB and Ill see what all I have left to write on.


and for Ninja.  I dont think I gave it enough time last time I was on there.  Been on there all day today and have done a lot better then before.  Im here to stay.

PG:  Getting work done there.  Loads done, Loads more to do.   Stop in and check out the progress let me know what you think.  BurstPlayground.net

Hiatch, What miner do you use.  Just relized you dont have the Blango logo by your name on Ninja?

and does Bin/Laden really have 4.4PB of burst mining power.  Sumbitch ride the rocket why dont ya.  How long did those plots take to write.  Im writing 2TB currently and its taken all day for 1TB.  then again im only using 2 of 4 cores.  need the resources from the other 2.

You are correct.  No one will really know.   as there were way to many things wrong with that day.  To many occurrences that do not happen normally.  Some one here had there hand in the cookie jar.  You can not say it was only done my bin laden or who ever people think it was.  If he was the one who did it some one here helped him do it.  If all the ones who think we didnt have a hand in it.   You need to look over all the fact and review the protocols.  There is no way this happened the way it did without help from someone here in the US. I had friends die that day.  I still do not blame bin laden because he couldn't have done this alone if he even did.

Another question about Ninja.

I know the example 274D+300 means you have earned 274 that hasnt been paid yet.  the 300 is what you have been paid.

I seen mine earlier that was something like 2440U-274D+2200.  Numbers arent exact but what does the 2440U stand for.  Unconfirmed or something.

Also what determines the (D)?  Is that the amount of DLs submitted as to what is owed or something else?  Sorry its prolly so simple but I think I am missing something.  Way to many things in my head at any one time.

Oh and I seen I got another block today.   like 13min DL or something.
