Nice! I'm a regular.. not seeing anything new though? Any changes within last month or so two? I'd particularly like to see the Asset Explorer and Marketplace Explorer.
Also.. any chance you could get more data from pools so that your estimated network size is a little more reliable?
Here you can see the changes: http://burstcoin.eu/changelogI will add a tool for pool comparison soon but don't know exactly if i can add estimated network size for each pool. I more meant that this graph, doesn't seem to be very precise.. wonder if there is a way you could get more data.. which I assume would mean having access to a significant amount of mining power and checking how many blocks are mined with those HDDs: http://burstcoin.eu/charts/estimated-network-sizeThat being said.. that sounds like a nice chart as well. |

I'm working on a update for http://burstcoin.eu . Some of the new functions are already online. Check it out! Next comes: - New layout for burstcoin.eu - Asset Explorer - Marketplace Explorer - API - Web Wallet - Stats for all Pools and comparsion of pools - Faucet - E-mail alert when a block is generated or when coins are sent/received - Chart: Asset exchange Trades in Burst per Day - Translation into other languages Please send me a message if you have any suggestions.

Im just starting out on this coin and got the newest wallet, Im running win 8 and it says i dont have java installed but i do. Ive tried starting it with the java executable and the run bat
If you don't have java in your system path, the bat file is still aimed at java 7. If you have java 8 installed open the bat file in notepad and change jre7 to jre8. yeah just figured that out  the windows 8 installed it as jre1.8.0_25 so changed batfile and its up and running. Thanks tho! Is there a way we could make this more user friendly? Would be nice if new users didn't have to edit .bat files. |

I like the new version, a few nice tweaks to it, thanks xizmax! |

Not bad, however it still needs a bit of work. For example
a) the site has two S's ie SMART CONTRACTSS
b) the docx download is missing
c) the announcement could use a bit of formatting imo (some char spacing)
d) the most important one for me: the style of writing and some other stuff should be improved. I mean what does this sentence even mean "And Proof of Stake has its known to have security complications and problems, yet Burst still capable of implementing 90% against attack."
EDIT: Hell, gimme the docx I will improve it for you today or tomorrow
Appreciate you pointing this stuff out.. I think we announced it slightly too soon.. we're all excited about Smart Contracts And sorry that was my bad regarding 90% thing. So you know, what that sentence is trying to say is that Burst is capable of the same 90% protection against attack that Nxt has. Meaning that even 90% of the mining power could be trying to attack it.. (at least short term.. gets complicated longer term for new miners joining the network trying to figure out which fork is the correct one) and the miners currently mining can continue mining on the correct fork.. so as long as you can trust a few or that even just one miner is on the right fork, new miners can get on the network that way. |

This coin needs a white paper that helps understand the new PoC algorithm, a lot of people are suggesting it! And it will help to see that Burst is a serious coin.
Agreed, I was talking to burstcoin about potentially reworking the algorithm a little bit.. I suspect it should actually be easier to explain and understand after the rework.. also will make parsing the blockchain significantly faster (meaning a new user can download the new blockchain and get up and running faster) and will slightly increase speed of block validation.. and might allow faster blocks in the long run. Not sure what the ETA on that is though.. but I wonder if it's worth waiting. In general though, this is a great idea. Happy to help a little bit there. [ANN] Burst Info for Android BETA [/ANN]
Hi guys,
I'd like to show you Burst Info app for Android (>=2.3). There is still a lot of work to do, but you can try base functionality, report errors and suggest me some improvements or features.
Nice!! |

I think it's time that Timk came and spoke to us. Wonder what he'll say about this crapcoin next.....
Yes mate,I didn't see him for long time.May be we should PM him and ask him to write something on this thread just for fun? Maybe even he became a believer in Burst and can't admit he was wrong? My hope is he sold his coins for 100 satoshis which is what they were going for last we heard from him. |

What is the confirmation times compared with Bitcoin/ transaction times?
4 minute blocks for the time being, to be shortened sooner or later. 10 confirmations is plenty. |

Ah, excellent explanation thanks. So I would think that proof-of-capacity is ASIC proof then?
Yup, Proof of Capacity is ASIC proof and energy efficient too.. without the security complications of Proof of Stake. It's a very nice algorithm. And I agree regarding the dev, I've had a few conversations with the dev trying to poke holes in the coin and suggest improvements.. he's thought through things quite well and I'm very impressed by him. Also, why are we calling Smart Contracts Automated Transactions? Seems to me like everyone knows them as Smart Contracts and that might be better from a marketing point of view... what does other people think about this? At the moment, I'm calling them Smart Contracts and mentioning they are also known as Automated Transactions in the version of the press release I'm writing. |

I have about 10 external hard drives with roughly 500-1000GB each and 5 internal hard drives with roughly 100GB each. Would it be worth "mining" in my situation? How many coins should I expect to get with 5-10TB?
Im a newbie here but there is a "BURST calculator" : https://bchain.info/BURST/tools/calculatorJust put your total of GB or TB and it do all the hard maths! Interesting, so 7.5 TB makes 0.136 BTC worth per month. Assuming we stay at current prices.. Which personally seems unlikely to me.. Also makes it sound like you're Ming to cash it to BTC.. stay with Burst.. Proof of Capacity is a really nice algo... |

If you have multiple disks on the same PC, what's the best way to mine? By multiple I mean a dozen or more. Are there any more user friendly miners for such mining? It seems like most miners you have to run multiple instances in order to mine on more then one drive.
Burst.today is a good one to try.. always gives me problems and I've heard complaints though... hopefully that one gets fixed up soon because it would be awesome to have an easy plotter. |

I'm new to this, what is the better software to mine and plot? I just buy three hard disks, 8TB .  PD: What SO is working better? Ubuntu/other linux distros or Windows? Awesome! It's nice to be seeing new faces Linux and Windows are both supported. Check out the original post for more details and let us know if you have questions. Anybody had mining guide for linux CLI?
There is a mining guide out there.. I think being cleaned up still.. something we definitely need. In the meantime, most pools and miners have their own instructions. Also, interestingly.. I posted here a little friendly post letting Ethereum folks know we had Smart Contracts working and that they should come write one.. they deleted the post and banned my account! Looks like someone is scared Can't wait till we can get those press releases out the door! https://forum.ethereum.org/categories/services-and-decentralized-applicationsCounterparty was actually receptive and interested.. especially in getting cross chain transactions working. Though I think it'll be impossible for them to directly send BTC through their Smart Contracts.. which is a big issue. |

I heard at some point that the calculator was actually a little low.. maybe because it doesn't include transaction fees. [rant]Yeah I am pretty much drunk but I want to share some brutal honest truth.
Am I the only one buying this coin with BTC? Shit! Over the past 2 days I have injected over 2 BTC into the coin yet I only see ~3 BTC has been injected in total. That's not cool. The best way to support this coin is not being just a damn day trader working with bots and shit making 1-3 Satoshis on buys and sells and then converting profits to BTC. That helps you succeed but hurts the coin. It causes the market cap stagnate. If you want this coin to succeed, coinage and cash needs to shift into it which leads to mining becoming more profitable. I'm not seeing it right now. We can do all of the marketing we want but we need to lead the pack and support this coin with investment. From there an economy can be built around it and brought to it. Mining is great but there has to be a capital investment into it or this coin will fail in the long term. I'm challenging any of you with BTC kicking around, to buy BURST with it.
I am going to continue to buy. I hope that you will too. [/rant]
You're not the only one who's going to keep buying And sorry we've been delayed with getting the press release out the door.. Christmas is messing with everyone's schedules. In the meantime, contact as many developers and marketers and people who get thing done as possible and get them to buy in at current levels!!! |

YES, EVERYONE LOG INTO THEIR LTCGEAR ACCOUNTS AND CHANGE THEIR ADDRESSES, MINE WERE CHANGED AND MY OVER 1.5 GH OF SCRYPT POWER WOULD HAVE BEEN PAID TO SOMEONE ELSE, THIS IS BAD! Thank you pilot, and sorry for yelling, but it's important! Sounds like a hack.. probably also worth checking back on it on a regular basis and making sure whoever runs LTCGear knows about this.. On a different topic, does anyone have a breakdown of the percentage of the coin being mined by pools, etc? I feel like I saw a graph somewhere. Is it really possible that even the largest pool only has about 2% of the mining power? That would be awesome from a decentralization point of view... Or are those the individuals that won blocks whether or not they were mining via a pool? http://burstcoin.eu/charts/addresses-by-forged-blocks/month |

vbcs wallet is looking a little bit emptier than it should be after all this hard work: BURST-NUFU-7PX7-KHVM-7EMNC I sent him 200K myself (and an extra 250k.. that was sent to the wrong address and lost forever. Whoops!  ) Let's see if we can't make him a millionaire, if not multimillionaire! I'm convinced he prefers Burst over Qora.. except that he's very heavily invest into Qora (as payment after AT are running), let's make sure he's at least got a decent sized wallet balance over here too. burstcoin was very helpful in implementing and cleaning and debugging them but vbcs sent a lot of time on them and is being very generous by letting us launch ATs in parallel with or before Qora instead of trying to launch them there first. |

Burst is so underrecognized.
Let's hope not for long! You want to help market it? Anyone who wants to help, we could use it. A few of us on here got together and came up with a marketing plan. We could really use help implementing it. |

Burst 1.2.0Download: https://mega.co.nz/#!75xV1abB!PG6gC6mMcSmr5ys2SrkHnIw-BDq1FodG5_bzWVlXJtssha256: 00cafd7efb560c3253f8e94ff0b16f2c488d1849166f27c06f0dee7b98f07bcb or github: https://github.com/BurstProject/burstcoinUpdate required for all users by block 49200 (12/26 or 12/27) If using an existing copy of the blockchain this will do a re-scan on first run. This update adds the Automatic Transaction (AT) system. This will allow users to write turing complete scripts which can be saved to the blockchain. Scripts will get their own account id and are able to send and receive coins, and will execute trustlessly. This release should be compliant with the ciyam AT specs found here: http://ciyam.org/at/Additional platform-specific api calls will be added later on. Current fees for ATs are: On creation 1 burst per memory page(256 bytes). When ATs execute, normal opcodes cost 0.1, and api calls cost 1. There is a maximum of 200 fee per AT execution. That is huge, thanks for the hard work over the last month or so!!!!! You guys know how Counterparty announced they were implementing Smart Contracts? They recently said they didn't think they'd have them running until hopefully March.. Ethereum is hopefully to get something out in the same time frame. Meaning Burst is just about to become the first coin to have decentralized Automatic Transactions/Smart Contracts working. Make sure you thank the dev and vbcs remember they both have their wallet addresses in their signatures for donations! |

When i said dangerous itīs because i have my photos my porn collection and others wallets in my HDD
It stores the plots to a separate file.. so it doesn't say overwrite a specific address on your hard drive that might overwrite something you don't want. So no real risk of it overwriting something if that's what you are worried about. I was initially a little bit worried about that myself. |
