I found my answer... and for anyone else who is interested too: Developers, Miners and Bitcoin Users Lawsky recently clarified one point that had many people concerned. According to Lawsky, the new regulations will only apply to companies that provide a financial service to customers. This answers a huge question that many had when the proposal was first introduced: what about Bitcoin miners? Mining pools send bitcoin to miners, so would mining pool operators need a BitLicense to do business with New York residents? Apparently, mining pools, individual miners, software developers and normal Bitcoin users are free from regulations for now.http://www.coinssource.com/bitlicense-update-developers-miners-comment-period/ |

Just reading the terms, it seems to apply to anyone dealing with virtual currencies... Are there clear unambiguous exemptions? Like for merchants or services that just accept bitcoin payments (but do not hold customer funds)?  All services and companies who operate in NY are affected, specifically those who transmit virtual currencies like for example bitfinex or Kraken. So reading the documentation about Bitlicense... what does it mean for pool operators? Even though I have a pool and BTC is not one of the coins that can be mined... does this mean I need to start turning away New York residents from accessing my pool? |

No joy. OS is Windows 8.1 64bit.
wallet is acting like there is no dns/peer nodes on it's version.
Having some peers as addnodes that are confirmed on latest version should fix this problem.
here's my current addnode addnode=202.96.138.245 addnode=174.62.75.38 addnode=91.121.177.181 addnode=137.147.205.84 addnode=198.50.243.84 addnode=173.62.210.40 addnode=178.33.109.17 addnode=217.23.13.138 addnode=71.1.8.242 addnode=92.11.85.139 addnode=176.37.23.74 addnode=24.191.227.173 Ty Sir! I now have 9 connections to the network! |

I upgraded wallet to latest version and now it won't hold even 1 connection. It keeps flickering between 0 and 1.
I've tried importing a fresh block chain that I d/l from here and deleting the chain. Makes no difference.
Even tried it both ways with & without conf file.

What is your operating system? Please try deleting everything within the %appdata% Mintcoin folder except for the wallet.dat file. (make sure to back this up somewhere else as well) Once you have done that - delete the wallet you have downloaded. Download the bootstrap here: https://link.getsync.com/#f=Mintcoin_daily&sz=12E8&t=1&s=SNTPNBS7OXQM5TZCEPZLPAGSB37LAJUF&i=CW6PY36ZAT2EPXWS7DTBOJMHJGMOXANPQ&v=2.0and extract everything into the %appdata% Mintcoin folder (you should see a bunch of files in there / not just another folder called mintcoin) Download the latest wallet here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByiwIYtArulmfkpWTUlhWHRsTzdFN0tkSG5HX1pMd2pqNTFVNmw0YjRPS3BrcWo5cW80Z2c&usp=sharing&tid=0ByiwIYtArulmNS0yZ3BDWHlZTlk#listOpen the wallet - the entire process should take just a few hours (including wallet syncing) before your wallet is running again. Let me know if this works? No joy on this list of addnodes. Same problem here. I cannot get a node to work properly on the newest version. I didn't bootstrap... that would just save me time not having to download the whole blockchain. Right now we just need a list of peers to connect to. |

Could it be that one of the reasons why BURST isn't so widely used is because it's NXT based?  There definitely was a belief a year or so ago that a fresh code base was worth more than forking other people's code. How would you deal with that? Not make mentions of Nxt on the website or in articles/interviews unless directly asked? One thing that I think will help is the blog, it should help attract even more techy people and show people the vision we have for Burst. I bet if wallet was just some dumbass copy paste Bitcoin/Blackcoin clone, more people would be into it. People like Windows because it is "user friendly" and most have no idea what Linux is. What does Linux have to do with anything? Wallet runs just fine on Windows. The wallets run better in Linux  I can run a whole lot of wallets on Linux... way more than windoze. See that daemon=1 in your config? That's not for windoze  |

Someones still buying HDs and increasing the network size? WTF...
maybe it's just someone with spare capacity learning about burst. in my mind that's more likely 4PB just laying around... No one is coming to Burst no matter how much you advertise it with the market in it's current condition unless they're already invested in it and they just went balls deep further. Guessing this is a Bitladen thing. If they were 'coming to Burst' they would be buying up Burst, not mining hardware with a ROI. You're absolutely right... Burst is dead. You should just go to your nearest exchange and dump everything you have. |

SSL is not strictly required, it just adds an additional level of security. If you take a look at a packet trace of you authenticating to a non-SSL wallet, the pass phrase is not sent over the wire. Instead, after you enter your passphrase, the browser requests the publickey for your account (The account ID is generated from the passphrase). Presumably then, the private key (also generated from the passphrase) is used to validate the public key and grant access.
So, even without SSL the passphrase cannot be harvested, SSL just adds an additional layer by making the entire conversation encrypted.
SSL is required for real security. SSL provides both encryption and authentication. Without SSL, it is possible to perform a man-in-the-middle attack. For example: an attacker sitting in the middle of your non-SSL connection can replace the javascript on the webpage with malicious javascript that harvests your password. I'm glad Burst City added SSL to their wallet, but it really should have been there all along. To be honest, in this day and age, every website should have SSL, especially a website that is dealing directly with sending and receiving a crypto-currency. 1. SSL is as good as the certificate is. There are different levels. Some, as this one, are only good that you know the connection is secure. It misses contacts, background checks, ... Basically this certificate says: the connection is correct! 2. The next step is what the server does with your information. ... I don't want to spell out what could happen, if the passphrase leaks to the owner/employee/hacker of that site. With all anonymity, ... we know not even who is xxx of that site. I strongly recommend NOT to use such site for MONEY sensitive issues! For me it is merrily a "proof of concept", but not to use! Elmit, Crowetic is a known, trusted, member of the burst community. I trust the services he provides totally. If you offered a web wallet I wouldn't trust it even if you offered 10x the encryption level. Reputation and history is everything, and you fail on both. H. Wow... in Crowetic's defense... he has been completely transparent if nothing else. He has been a part of Burst when only like 5 or 6 of us were chatting in the beginning. Elmit... if it's the same Elmit I know of from burstforum... you couldn't give me anything he has to offer if it was free and you added something to it. Headache, Crowtec is a Burst community member as you and me. I am glad you trust him. He stated several times that xxx had a problem, apologized for it, ... The group did not pay out for the asset, change the asset at their will, without any way to verify their calculations. ... that all did not establish trust to him either. I don't think he is transparent, he might be your boss, but not transparent to the public. I made the proof of concept a while back. Yes it is working, but I will not offer such service. It is not a question of the encryption level, when he cannot program by himself and rely on others, who we do not know, .. who are like Headache anonymous. REAL MAN do not hide behind anonymous, REAL MAN stand to it. REAL MAN do not post unverified matters in public, knowing they do just harm but give no chance to reply. wmikrut, I have replied with many good things at the burstforum, till I found myself kicked out by the slammers. If you need something from me, talk to me. I am always helping. Actually I cannot catch your meaning what you got for free and added something. Well, as a Sr member I should apologize... I guess there are always two sides to every story... and I admit, my information feed it a little one sided. While I am in the business of IT, I do not see cheap certs as a bad thing... certs can be difficult to deploy unless you have a good working knowledge of how to deploy them. Even as of late I helped a client install a proper bundle chain into a web server that was not setup correctly. Then you need to make sure the SSL site has no references to non-secure links, and the parade goes on and on. Do I trust crowetic implicitly, of course not... I don't implicitly trust people I even see every day. However, he has never given me a reason not to trust him with day to day operations of the Asset and his pool. I don't even trust to mine to a single wallet in the event of a breech. I mine to one wallet and transfer those funds off to other wallets... same as I do with everything I mine. |

this is such an under appreciated coin shame to see it so low  That just means now is a good time to buy, if you are looking to buy that is. I remember when LTC was less than one cent per piece... and the forum criers screamed it was crashing and it was dead. Well, here we are. Burst isn't even a year old yet. Litecoin, and Bitcoin, didn't gain and real price traction until 2-3 years after launch. |

I'm using a Uray's burst-miner-r4 for Windows, is there any way for me to add a command to the .conf file to make miner restart automatically when there's a problem?  i think this is not possible... when there is a problem and the miner shutdown, there isn't any possibility of to restart it by the miner. You need a wrapper who check for "Miner is in use" and if is not, the wrapper relaunch it. How do I make the wrapper? Easy as this... I have used this for quite some time in the event a miner fails. It's simple... and gets the job done. If the miner dies out -- it will just go back to a restart. Create a Windoze batch file named miner.bat Put these lines in the bat file: :restart cd "c:\whatever\folder\your\miner\is\in" miner.exe goto restart |

Let's not forget that Burst mining doesn't utilize the hard drive 100% of the time like mining on an GPU does.
Just a few minutes per block.
No doubt GPUs are more flexible -- but the cost of mining Burst is SIGNIFICANTLY lower than any GPU mining... unless you have free electricity -- then all bets are off.

Hello,
Is there any way to open the wallet without writing the secret passphrase ? Like in "read only" mode?
As each action on the wallet need passphrase, it should not be a problem, and better, prevent keylogger utilisation to steal passphrase when there is no reason to write it.
You can save your passphrase on email,or text file,and just copy/paste it  as i already posted some month ago exactly this (to have the passphrase in a clipboard) is what i dislike most with the burst wallet. for regular mining activity checks i switched totally to burstcoin.eu and to check asset trades i use random passphrases to log into my wallet. only to do transfers i copy my passphrase into the clipboard. basically it should be possible to create a "read only" wallet by modifying the java code but it may be simpler to create a dedicated webpage querying the api for specific accounts. i started to work on a mysql blockchain copy with indexes and a different data model behind but stopped my work on it cause there happens so much development which i want to wait for to include it. each time i thought i could continue and be safe for a while a new feature was integrated into burst. Why use the clipboard at all? Use LastPass manager and you can switch between wallets without even needing to copy/paste pass phrases. Was any one paying attention to the DECENTRALIZED bit? Lastpass is far from decentralized.... Sure its centralized... but for daily activity it will ease the pain of having to use the clipboard. Now... if your Lastapass password is anything less than 15-20 characters.... well, you deserve what you get. |

I think I am good.
Created a counterwallet.io wallet
Found my address: 1Lqn3zR8z3XPxJ1Zopp2r4NBZtWcUFnv5M

Set identity as:
User: PookTwo_FLDC_1Lqn3zR8z3XPxJ1Zopp2r4NBZtWcUFnv5M
Team: 0
Passphrase: (I'll never tell)
Everything is working!
I am flattered that you wish to use my username You can change PookTwo to anything you would like, for example: wmikrut_FLDC_1Lqn3zR8z3XPxJ1Zopp2r4NBZtWcUFnv5M You will still earn FLDC if you dont though Ahh... that's what I was missing. I thought it was a fixed team name. Thank you! |

Trust me... I understand technical people writing up user instructions.
I have been on the receiving end of "Why so many steps" numerous times.
I had no problem setting up a CounterWallet.
I already loaded FAH and I am setting the identities now
So far it's fairly smooth.
I'll check the OP in a minute once I am done launching my clients.

The steps for this coin are way too complex. Create a wallet here, sign up with a website here, link an account there.
Reduce the number of steps or don't expect too many people to participate.
CureCoin is way less complicated in setup.
I have actually had this feedback before and most of that isnt required, I am making it easy today, there is really only 2 steps required: So really we replace joining the Curecoin mining pool with setting up a web wallet. We also dont require a a QT download. Let me know if you have any other concerns I see... so it's similar -- I have to join your team "PookTwo" "_FLDC_" for folding coin followed by my counter wallet address found on the home page for counterwallet. See, that's even easier than Curecoin. |
