Roadmap and new...?  Embarrassed

Roadmap is finished, but we're just doing some finishing touches, there's more at play than you know, so it requires a bit of extra finishing touches. But I will be within my announced time of two weeks from the time I said that, it will be likely the weekend or by mid next week that you'll see the roadmap and closely followed by a BUNCH of new things, then you'll see why it took us a minute. Smiley

Also, setting up a news style set, and starting professional BURST videos and various other things today and tomorrow, you'll start seeing some VERY high quality BURST related news style videos coming out here soon, we even have access to my fiance's 2500 dollar  DSLR camera. Wink

When you see the roadmap (which isn't even 1/4 of the TOTAL of what we're ACTUALLY working on, just the active stuff RIGHT NOW) you'll see why this took a little time to get organized.

Never fear, you know I always do what I say!




Also, @bonus payout, I didn't forget, just got caught up developing a few things, but I'll get that accomplished soon!

-[ANN]- BURSTaker asset payment announcement, etc.

Hello everyone, not sure what I said about the first payout of BURSTaker, but I've decided that I WILL do one this month, since the initial sale of the asset didn't sell out.

This means that the holders are likely to get a very good return, and I'm giving ample announcement time before doing the payout so that you have a chance to get in and catch a payout right away!

BURSTaker asset - Payout will be in roughly 5 days from now. Very few percentage sold so far Smiley - 15208279992621279224

BURSTeam asset - Payouts coming very soon! - 14092376023955917604

ByteEnt asset - Payouts coming very soon! - 1800253871016293364



edit 1 - Byte Ent payouts done!

926  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [ANN] Spondoolies-Tech - carrier grade, data center ready mining rigs on: June 01, 2016, 04:03:51 PM
A great time for PoC (and release of PoC2 in a matter of a month) to take over as preferred PoW style of mining. Requires almost no power, and keeps decentralization as it is most efficiently mined with drives that people already own. The consumer grade hardware will forever be king of BURST and PoC algorithm. Come along to the future of PoW style mining, and check out the way crypto was meant to be.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1323657

I did a quick read on that. Some people have 200 TB of storage already. I'm sure some data center will eventually house a huge chunk of that network, I think 7000 TB is the current size.

I can't imagine how to run this as a home miner, I mean, I could get 32 TB of HDD maybe. Or someone makes a USB hub thing that accepts ... well, there are 49 port hubs, with 8 TB per port, you could get 400 TB on one "server".

I can't wait for Samsung to drop their prices on that 16 TB SSD. But then I'd probably use it for "real" stuff, not as PoC mining.

Right, but the difference is, a data center can't just pick it up and go with it, unless they want to completely shut down their operations and move to mining BURST only, because you must fill your space with hashpower, therefore you must DEDICATE yourself to the process.

People, with large amounts of space, are the ones who believe in the algo, and the coin, and our team. They are dedicated to the process. Data centers wouldn't risk shutting down their entire operation for a mining farm, I highly doubt it.

yes, there would be the few that decide to make huge farms, but the fact is, that since the power usage is basically null, anyone can mine, and will just because they can, takes no specialized setup, and takes no effort, and you get some sort of payout, no matter how small it ends up.

There are many people who love mining, and will go all out, but there are the people available to setup small amounts of free space for fun, not damaging hardware, and using what they currently have just to say they're helping secure the network.

Also, has none of the issues that PoS has, won't even go there. Using the same amount of power for a truly advanced PoW style of mining.

I truly think this is the way things stay more decentralized.

Also, it costs much less to setup 'big farms', so there will be more, and the people running them don't have to be super specialized or setup warehouses just for it, a garage with normal power circuit is perfectly fine, and can run a pretty massive amount of 5w/drive miners.

Not to mention the ability to mine on ultra low powered devices could bring in the people with fully off grid systems who could never mine traditional algorithms with GPUs or ASICS.

Then, the resale value is another plus, storage hardware is always able to be sold at good prices. You decide you're done, you sell off your stuff with a solid return and retire happily.

my 2 sats. Wink

what are you talking about?

firstly, a datacenter could easily setup a PoC farm in a very small space. Here's a commercially available product that's a 12-bay NAS in 2U rackmount (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822108173CVF).  Theoretically you could fit 3-5x that many 3.5" HDDs in the same amount of space if you forgo the hotswap ability, and double that again wit 2.5" drives. In theory, you could probably fit around 100 2.5" 4TB drives in a 2U, and thus 6400TB in a single 32U rack

oh, hey look its a company that sells a 4300TB Single-rack server: https://www.aberdeeninc.com/abcatg/petarack.htm
so to say that a datacenter would fill its space mining BURST is silly - a single rack would be enough, and if they dedicated 10% of the datacenter to it they could probably become the majority.


secondly, harddrives don't really retain value better than any other PC component. a 2TB drive costs ~$80 today and in 2 years will probably sell for less than $30, much less if used (when did you last buy or sell a used harddrive?)

agreed! the only people that can benefit from burst are people like crowtec there that can not only have the HDD's everywhere, but can re-sell them after.
HDD's prices fall with moore's law pretty much.
then again i dont blame him shilling his coin, it's what eveyone does here ;p
BUT LETS FACE IT, crowtec, you just talked out of your ass to shill BURST. HDD'S are garbage



No need to get nasty, and I absolutely did not. BURST's algo is the best PoW style mining hands down. stays more decentralized by nature, and has great resell value on the hardware. Requires very low power usage, and solves all the issues with PoS and PoW (traditional).

To say anything against that, I would really like to see some proof. My proof is there, just look at it. Go test it out if you don't believe me.

Also, as far as a data center buying that much space just for BURST, sure, I MIGHT see it happening in the future when the coin's price is dramatically higher, but for now, no way... it simply doesn't make sense at all, especially that hardware, as it is VERY expensive. Fact is is makes most sense to mine the coin on consumer grade hardware, and not only that, but almost everyone has a bit of freespace they could mine with, and since it takes no extra power, there's no reason not to, thus it stays more decentralized than other coins do by nature.

There really isn't any way to say I'm wrong here, if you are, then you're just being silly...

Hard drives take as much power as charging your phone, and the way the mining works, only requires you to actually turn the drive on once per block and read through it for roughly 30 seconds. This doesn't even take up your entire CPU to do so, and can also be done with a GPU using even less power and reading the drives faster.

The fact is, it's a superior mining style for decentralization, and there's no way to really argue against that without sounding defensive and silly.

There is no way you can argue that buying mining-specific hardware is going to stay more decentralized than being able to feasibly mine on hardware everyone has, without the chance of damaging the hardware or using more power than just running the computer like you do anyway.

Then, when our alpha becomes beta on phone mining, there's an even greater argument there, because same things apply but then it is just mobile, and it won't even drain your battery. Pretty sweet.

But I would love to hear the argument against what I'm saying here, go ahead and tell me how it is feasible for the every day person to be an ASIC or GPU miner on any level, and justify it. I'm happy to get into a nice friendly banter over something where I know I'm right. Smiley

A great time for PoC (and release of PoC2 in a matter of a month) to take over as preferred PoW style of mining. Requires almost no power, and keeps decentralization as it is most efficiently mined with drives that people already own. The consumer grade hardware will forever be king of BURST and PoC algorithm. Come along to the future of PoW style mining, and check out the way crypto was meant to be.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1323657

I did a quick read on that. Some people have 200 TB of storage already. I'm sure some data center will eventually house a huge chunk of that network, I think 7000 TB is the current size.

I can't imagine how to run this as a home miner, I mean, I could get 32 TB of HDD maybe. Or someone makes a USB hub thing that accepts ... well, there are 49 port hubs, with 8 TB per port, you could get 400 TB on one "server".

I can't wait for Samsung to drop their prices on that 16 TB SSD. But then I'd probably use it for "real" stuff, not as PoC mining.

Right, but the difference is, a data center can't just pick it up and go with it, unless they want to completely shut down their operations and move to mining BURST only, because you must fill your space with hashpower, therefore you must DEDICATE yourself to the process.

People, with large amounts of space, are the ones who believe in the algo, and the coin, and our team. They are dedicated to the process. Data centers wouldn't risk shutting down their entire operation for a mining farm, I highly doubt it.

yes, there would be the few that decide to make huge farms, but the fact is, that since the power usage is basically null, anyone can mine, and will just because they can, takes no specialized setup, and takes no effort, and you get some sort of payout, no matter how small it ends up.

There are many people who love mining, and will go all out, but there are the people available to setup small amounts of free space for fun, not damaging hardware, and using what they currently have just to say they're helping secure the network.

Also, has none of the issues that PoS has, won't even go there. Using the same amount of power for a truly advanced PoW style of mining.

I truly think this is the way things stay more decentralized.

Also, it costs much less to setup 'big farms', so there will be more, and the people running them don't have to be super specialized or setup warehouses just for it, a garage with normal power circuit is perfectly fine, and can run a pretty massive amount of 5w/drive miners.

Not to mention the ability to mine on ultra low powered devices could bring in the people with fully off grid systems who could never mine traditional algorithms with GPUs or ASICS.

Then, the resale value is another plus, storage hardware is always able to be sold at good prices. You decide you're done, you sell off your stuff with a solid return and retire happily.

What stops some data centre's from heavily centralising the mining ?

IMO the fact that they have to PLOT the space with hashpower, and can't use the space for storage, keeps datacenters out of the game, because they would have to DEDICATE themselves to BURST, and I doubt they're willing to take that risk, as they would not be a datacenter anymore, they would be a BURST mining farm.

hi guys!

Love the idea of mining with my HDD's

The problem I have is that after I install the wallet I get this error can't connect to https://wallet.burst-team.us:8125

Whats up?

There was a temporary outage due to quite a bit of new traffic, we've increased the power of the host machine, and restarted it, should be good now. Thanks for pointing it out!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1323657

That's the new OP for BURST, btw. Much more updated information there! Welcome to BURST!

I am interested in starting to mine.  But clearly you need some serious Hard Drives to make a real go of it.
So a couple of questions:
Where do find the cheapest drives?  And by cheap I mean in terms of $/TB.  I have found a few 8TB drives on eBay.  Cheapest I can find is about $30/TB.  Any better alternatives?
Are there any tricks to adding and mining the most drives possible on one mobo?  I mean assuming power is not a problem.

I am using the standard windows client (BURST_Wallet_GUI_Setup_0.2.5.exe) right now to plot a 3TB drive in total.  I have it on a 2 core CPU and after about 6 hours I'm at 2% and averaging about 730 noonces/minute. 
This is an older cpu that I used for gpu mining years ago, but the only spare I have.  I suppose if I get serious I'll need to find a faster one.  Is there a better way to do it?  Different software?
I suppose I can plot a drive on a faster pc then move it to the mining mobo.  Is that right?

Thanks in advance.


You can easily plot on another machine with a fast GPU then move the plotted drives to another computer, no problem!

Also, you can run a TON of drives per machine with USB, even USB2 works great! I personally have a computer with drives D-P running just fine, all USB3.0. You can even get kits to convert internal drives to USB. Obviously USB is my choice for mining, as it just makes it easier, I also have many laptops running miners, and since BURST costs nothing for resources, they run just the same as my other desktop or rackserver miners.

BURST is very very versitile with its mining. One of the many great things about it!

You can even mine on a raspberry pi with 16TB of drivespace. Just might be a tiny bit slower when reading the plots, due to the slower CPU. But in my opinion, and this should answer the other person's question above regarding read speed as well...

As long as your'e reading all of your plots in 1.5 min or less, you're doing alright. But the fact is, even up to 2 min is still okay, and if you're running a miner that takes no power at all, the tradeoffs there are obvious.

I'm excited about PoC2 algo and the improvements there, definitely going to be a fun year for BURST! Thanks for joining us, let us know if you've got any other questions!

Long time BTC miner and former LTC miner back in the day.  Checking this out now.  Have a 3TB drive sitting around.
Downloading the BURST_Wallet_GUI_Setup_0.2.5.exe file now.  Anything I should know starting out?  I mean aside from all the instructions etc.


The GUI wallet is very simple to use, only thing I would say is when you go to mine, make sure you set your reward recipient, that's the first step, you assign your wallet to mine to the pool of your choosing, THEN start mining.

The easiest way to do this, would be to use the web wallet... https://wallet.burst-team.us/rewardassignment.html  - This way you don't have to wait for the chain to sync on your local machine.

Outstanding.  I figure with the upcoming halving I need to get back into altcoins.  And I really like the idea of HDD mining vs. temperamental gpus.
Thanks for the advice.
 

I edited my post with some more information.

HDD mining is the way of the future for PoW style mining, IMO. It hasn't harmed a single drive in my nearing 200TB mining farm, and it takes no power almost. (it's a negligible difference on my power bill with my computers running all the time regardless.) We have MANY new releases coming out VERY soon. We're happy to have you!

Long time BTC miner and former LTC miner back in the day.  Checking this out now.  Have a 3TB drive sitting around.

The GUI wallet is very simple to use, only thing I would say is when you go to mine, make sure you set your reward recipient, that's the first step, you assign your wallet to mine to the pool of your choosing, THEN start mining.

first, get a new account by clicking on the new user button, and generating the password, save the password in the account manager at the top of the wallet, add new wallet, and paste your passphrase there, it saves local and encrypted.

to plot/mine -

1. click 'write plots' and choose your drive, this button is at the bottom of the GUI.

2. select how many cores you would like to use to plot your drive, the more you use the faster it will plot, etc.

3. assign reward to a pool of your choosing (after getting funded from the faucet (or from a friend in BURST, I would be happy to fund your wallet for you))

4. Wait for your plotting to finish (could take some time depending on how good your CPU is.)

5. Once your plotting is finished, click 'start mining' at the bottom of the wallet by the write plots button.

The easiest way to do this, would be to use the web wallet... https://wallet.burst-team.us/rewardassignment.html  - This way you don't have to wait for the chain to sync on your local machine.

i have deleted the negative trust, but you know that  PST time is still PST time...
no hard feeling but you were unfair.

I will remove mine as well, but please man, don't get petty over this kind of stuff, it really doesn't look good.


I was not unfair, I first proved that the forum was in UTC by verifying against the time of my clock, which is in PST...


Once I had proven the forum was in UTC, I calculated your bid, in UTC, to PST...

That time, was 1 hour behind the time I had set...


I don't know how else I could have proven it... but feel free to prove it the opposite, though it will make no difference in the sale at this point, because it is over, .35 to the person who bid 3 days before all this mess.

I'm locking this topic and I'll remove the neg on your trust as well. Thank you for that.

Thanks...
Good luck with your sales...

forum time was not mentioned


Well, how else am I going to calculate the time you bid, I have to use the time based on the post in the forum, then calculate that to the timezone I said... it's the only way it can be proven fair.

Sorry if it was confusing, it even got me there for a minute, I was off by an hour too, next time I'll just go by forum time to not confuse the situation at all...

how can you say i was late, it was 28th of may 7.30 PST


Your bid came in according to this forum (UTC) at 3:29 AM Sunday...


That means it was actually


3:29 AM Sunday, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is
8:29 PM Saturday, in Reno, NV


You were 1 hour behind.

Read what you said in the 3rd post(i think)
28th of may 7.30 PST, now you say UTC, make up your mind.

My bid came at 7.29 PST 28th of May.

Thanks for being fair...

I'm going by the time the forum says... the forum says it was 3:29AM (the forum is in UTC)

3:29 AM Sunday, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is
8:29 PM Saturday, in Reno, NV

3:29 AM in UTC is 8:29 PM in PST... so you were 1 hour behind.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, anyone... But I'm pretty sure the forum is in UTC, right? let's find out... Right now the forum says it is...

05:55:22 PM

my clock says

10:56 AM

That means the forum is in UTC... that means your bid was 1 hour behind the time I posted. He posted his bid 3 days before, obviously within the time... Sorry man, I misread the clock the first time by an hour as well, but based on what I posted, you WERE one hour behind...


I've definitely learned my lesson though, next time I'm going by UTC... lol... sorry man.

I said PST, his bid came in DAYS before the ending, an the last two bids were AFTER the end time. So technically those were both null...


He won for .35 because his bid came in before the cutoff time by few days.
939  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: Lenovo Yoga 11 laptop / tablet 3rd gen i5, 4GB, SSD - AUCTION starting at .25! on: May 29, 2016, 05:38:58 PM
Yea, I didn't notice you were both over the time, in that case I would have to say that the higher bid takes it, since you guys weren't that far off, and we all apparently don't know how to calculate timezones...

Unless you think that is unfair??? I'm not really sure how to proceed here... What do you guys think?

This is BtLeafClover and adib going back and forth here. My bid came in on May 24th. Still willing to go to BTC0.4, though.

You're totally right, I absolutely overlooked that, you're the clear winner, and I'll take .4 but you actually won for .35, so it's up to you!

sorry adib, he bid before the deadline, gotta go with what's right here.
