Is the source code available on GitHub, or just included in the wallet download?

its java, source included in wallet and miner

Any benchmarks yet about plot size limits aka what can you pc scan within 2000 seconds? Cheesy

it should be within 240 seconds to be exact, based on OP post of blocktime is 4 minutes

Okay so SSD Read speed id around 500 mb/s -> 120 gb?

i am updated my post, you dont need to read whole plot data each block, its only on relevant scoop, based on previous block hash

and there are no performance issue here, wether ur pc can scan terabyte of data within 200 seconds or not, since each block you only need to read relevant scoop which is about 0.024% of your plot size

I did a few skims over the source today, a diff against NXT and a quick glance over all of the classes in the crypto library.  No hidden surprises in the wallet, no obviously blatent bugs/oversights, no shenanigans with hidden pre-mines etc.  This means the only argument someone could make to yell "SCAM" with would be the dev pre-generating some huge plot.  I think this is not so unfair at all, and would be hard to call scammy.

Overall an excellent launch.  Kudos to the dev(s)!

To be sure, I deleted all of jars, downloaded dependencies manually, and built from source on both linux and windows under cygwin.  Building on windows took some fiddling with classpath, but otherwise went fine.

I've generated a few GB of plot and am mining, but no blocks yet.  I'm assuming by now that some people already have huuuuge plots.

I think the mining process could be optimized a lot, but I personally don't have much time to put toward it and don't want to have to either trudge through java land or do a new implementation...  Maybe later.

I think this is a great concept and has a lot of promise to move blockchain technologies forward, but I worry about the economics of the coin.  It is hard to value "empty storage space over time" in a meaningful way.  It is pretty easy to quantify your availability of electric capacity under traditional PoW, as energy costs are fairly fixed.  Storage space is not very scarce, and it's costs (at large scales, anyway) are somewhat variable.

it could be improved by instead of storing un-relevant data, its store useful data.
for example to store a filesharing on blockchain, the larger u store people (network) file, the larger chance that ur nonce will be valid to announce block

{"result":"deadline: 123456..."}
Does anyone know how that number is assigned?


that number is a deadline in seconds, if no one has better deadline than you (block found occured before ur deadline reached), then u create the block
Thanks.

The lowest deadline i had was 2068, does that mean that i have no chance to find a block? (almost 6 hours of mining.)
Or is the deadline random generated?

Is it really seconds? Because as my previous poster said, the numbers are way too high, my lowest one being around 20k

quoted from OP post, on "How it works" section

Quote
..The resulting number is a number of seconds. If that many seconds passes since the last block without a new one, the address/nonce combination used to generate that plot/scoop is eligable to announce a new block....

i am not a dev here, but i think it is yes you dont have "huge" chance to announce block for current block, based on average blocktime is under 2000 seconds, but there is still a chance that no miner has lower deadline than ur 2068 seconds, if this is occured then blocktime is 2068 seconds, the difficulty will adjust lower for next block

Generation is done now, do i ever have to run it again?

CPU usage dropped alot (at 1%), hdd usage is way down too (at 2%), run_miner.bat is running - normal? Shouldn't i have high CPU or HDD usage?

i dont think so, ur rig mostly spent idle waiting for deadline time, until next block is started, so based on my understanding, ur rig work every ~200 seconds and then do nothing

I don't think this works with VM's.  Has anyone got this working?
I installed the wallet, sync't it, created an account etc.
Then I cloned the VM, created a second instance, and then on both instances started generating plots and mining (with the same account ID).  It appears that both of them find identical shares at the same time.  How is this possible?  It would imply that each VM is working on an identical plot, so the question is, what makes plot's unique?  Are they not randomly generated? 

your nonce range, each nonce is taking 256KB of ur disk, on second vm you should generate plot of next nonce, for example if first VM have nonce range 1-1000 then second VM should be 1001 - 2000

or you can have identical nonce range but different address, still on both case you need to re-generate plot
Makes perfect sense thanks!!

How do you determine the range? First pc i ran with address 0 400000 512 6 so at the second i have to run what?

you generating with first nonce 0, then u create plot of 400000 nonce so ur range is 0-400000, u taking space 400000/4 MB = 100GB


So far so good, so for the second pc i start at 400001, select my range and so on?

never tried that yet, but based on my understanding thats how u increase block creation chance

Cheers, the last question is, if my miner can overlap with each other, wouldn't it been wiser to start at nounces less people are using themself? Or are the random vs your address anyway?

i dont think so, since on OP diagram, nonce is hashed with miner address.

so the hash will overlap only if their nonce range is same AND their mining address is same,
no matter how you select nonce range, its hash range is unique to ur own address

Didn't find a single block yet .

same here, if i found one i think i will held a party here

How stupid the dumpers are? How can they waste electric like this?

Every coin has dumpers. We are working to secure a more reputable exchange. We will continue to work on Xryptbit to give the community a coin that meets their demands. We will release an update in the upcoming days with the progress on the extra features.

More reputable? C-CEX is in the top 8 exchanges, many of us trade there and they gave your coin a first exchange chance. They are changing policies over there and will delist this coin in 2 weeks if the volume is low. I would be thankful we have a place to even trade at this point bittrex lists coins that do well on c-cex.

yeah i think C-CEX is good, its better to use than bittrex, fast and responsive

how did he found 2 consecutive blocks !??

I want to buy at around 20 satoshi please pm me.


i will sell around 200k satoshi, if u r interested pm me
200k satoshi?  that's 20 BTC per block?  Ummm I think you might be aiming a little high there.  That would give this coin a market cap of 1.74m after 148 blocks lol
I think 200 satoshi is nearer the mark,

well BTC is 25 BTC / block, and its not shitcoin, how about 20k sat ?

if there is two disk,disk0 and disk1 , how can i tell the miner the other disk's plots? or I need to setup two miners? if setup two miner , 1TB and 2 500GB which is faster Huh

Create link to the files  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753194.aspx.


thanks.and another question, if i create 100Gb plots, can i copy the plots to another disk directly? or i need to create another plots in disk?
I already asked that question earlier - no you cannot - you will be mining on duplicate data so will see no benefit

how about using same address but different first_nonce for each plot ? will it has any benefit?
1659  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][BURST] Burst | Efficient Proof of HDD Capacity Mining | No IPO, No Pre on: August 11, 2014, 10:19:22 AM
Can't generate address.
address.txt is empty

What do i do wrong?

enter your wallet password in passphrases.txt  and ran run_dump_adress

It's exactly what I did.
Enter the passphrase I got in the browser client.
Ran run_dump_address

address.txt was created but blank

r u sure u r entering passphares? its not ur account-id, its your login password, 32 character or longer, usually bunch of words, u paste those words into address.txt

I did exactly that.
Entered this bunch of words that I use to login to my wallet.
is there a specific way to enter them? prefix/suffix?
I entered the words as they are, saved the passphrases.txt
and them ran the run_dump_address

no specific ways, just pure those words, i entered without new line, or perhaps u dont have permission to write to disk? r u using linux or windows?
