I wish a docker container was created for burst mining. (creating this is a little over my head at this time)

It would very easy to kick off a docker run command with passing in a mounted volume variable where plots are located. Possibly an option to set/restrict CPU/memory use and off it goes mining. Another option that would be more advanced is a web interface to view status....similar to the mrpsion mining system that existed long ago.
I have an unraid setup currently and have run an ubuntu docker with manually installing a miner. I am currently running Uray java R4 miner on Linux which seems to be working fine although I do not see an option to specify max deadline in the conf file so it does try to submit higher than accepted on burst.ninja.

I tried DCCT miner and it looked to be running but did not provide any feedback when submitting to pool. I am just looking for most efficient setup for an unraid/docker config and surprised nobody has created a template yet using docker.

People just want the original agreement of dividends in BTC to be honored. I hope that we can put the past behind us and move forward and those who want dividends in BTC will get them without question/delay.
If people would have known there was going to be a skewed voting process like last time they would have not invested in the first place. If that process is used again it will be the nail in the coffin for this coin.

Those who voted for Amber vs BTC will be awarded this "medallion of loyalty", it was a nice gesture but sort of a slap in the face to the real investors who just want the original terms to be honored.

Everything I have read so far has said an Nvidia optimized miner is not done yet but it will work with cgminer.

I am looking for the best solution for an Nvidia GTX970. I see that ccminer 1.5.78 sp-mod is the best version to take advantage of Maxwell chips in this card.
I see that this version supports the algo NEOS blake (256 14-rounds) Is that different than what Decred is using? Thanks

Edit: nevermind, sounds like this is close but not the same thing.

AmberDEV, does this mean shareholders who voted BTC will now get Amber instead of BTC for all previous dividends owed?

I am content with that for the time being if BTC is not an option at all currently. Like others here I am not all that happy how things turned out but something is better than nothing.

Will these people be able to remain on the BTC list for future dividends? If not please change the title of this thread as it is no longer accurate.

You may have taken this as hostility and directed at you specifically but it is not. I really did not want to clutter up the other new thread promoting another project and take the focus away from Burst. I thought I could post here and still reach the die-hard Burst users which is really who I am speaking to. I do not want to side track this thread or the new one with technical discussions on other up and coming solutions. I'm sure you can do some digging and find more information. You are also welcome to reach out to me privately. I just wanted to toss a couple of links out there to show that more advanced solutions will be released this year and the people who live and breath this stuff should keep an open mind.

Back to Burst.....

I honestly think you are one of the people who have made a substantial impact on this coin along with others (irontiga, dawallet, luxe, haitch and his nemesis elmit, yes also bitladen) I applaud all of your efforts especially the plan to add real value to Burst via shares of your company as well as everything the people mentioned above have contributed. You are correct I have only mined Burst and have enjoyed learning something new and unique along the way. The reason that I do not want to do more is that I do not believe it can compete with the many other up and coming solutions that make use of hard drive space. Burst is very very efficient for the act of mining compared to everything else but it still wastes that space for the sole act of "mining". If mining is half way over now it is not realistic to think people will secure the network and run nodes if all coins have already been mined......what happens then? Some people here think coins will become more scarce and more valuable and in the short term value may increase. Without major use for the coin beyond the crypto community it will just not make it.

I do not want to back something that I do not believe in to the core. There you have it.....those are my reasons why I am not standing up for Burst or contributing something to it. That does not mean I am no longer interested in seeing what you and others make of it. Honestly, crowetic you are the only shot this coin has. As you can see nothing much of significance happens here while you are away. Others may say "You are not the Dev" there is no Dev. The community has not taken any action to do anything about that on their own. You fit this coin well to lead it....why......because you believe in it. I was not attacking you personally by the original post, you could have rightfully so removed my post for being off-topic in the other thread. This thread on the other hand has turned into a shout box for well.....whatever    I do not post that often and not wanting to get into a debate....these are just my opinions, please take them as that.  Also be aware of the many projects out there that people may prefer to use hard drive space for instead of Burst. (maidsafe, storj, siacoin, eth in the future)

I am going to post in this thread as this one is not self-moderated unlike the new thread and has a higher likelihood of sticking around. I would guess the same handful of people that are posting in the new thread also keep an eye on the old one as well since it is not locked.

There has not been a native crypto debit card as of yet and all existing debit cards rely on a centralized 3rd party service which defeats the purpose of crypto in general. As you might have guessed I am a little biased toward the eMunie project which is well beyond any of the existing 2.0 coins. Burst is unique on the mining front but it does not have nearly enough features to be something that will be adopted by the mainstream public. (even if it was much easier to get going). Blockchains were stepping stones to more advanced solutions (distributed ledgers) that will win the end game as solutions like that can scale well beyond BTC and blockchain based solutions.

Still nobody has come up with any solutions of what happens when all Burst have been mined. We are half way done with mining and Burst is used by maybe 100-200 people total if that with half the mining done by one person. What incentive will there be for people to use Burst after mining has ended?

I have mined and continue to hold Burst but I am real when I say it will not make it as a widely adopted platform. The above links give you a glimpse of what a mainstream digital economic platform will consist of for the everyday consumer that is not technical at all. It is not vaporware as I have been testing it for over 2 years now and have seen the advancements first hand.

Great summary of the current situation, Slydrule.

I am holding and have not sold a single coin. As many here probably feel the same that our hand feels "forced" to hold and receive dividends exclusively in Amber without a choice. Since that is the side that won the vote should everyone that voted for BTC also be expecting a dividend payment in Amber? If so when? Will this be the new status quo for upcoming quarters with the only way to move forward with a dividend that is in Amber?

The title of this OP should be modified so it does not read "Buy, Hold, & Get dividends in BTC/$" when it is actually not the case anymore. I hope there are plans and firm dates to get back to the original plan for upcoming quarters versus relying on this method of voting. This voting method was not in place when many here invested and now all of the sudden it is a big variable impacting many. In the beginning it was very simple....invest....get dividends as stated in the title now a whole new level of complexity is added.

We all have different opinions on this topic but I just wanted to voice mine as a shareholder.

There is no need for a full PC for a dedicated staking machine. There are other projects already doing this with a Pi running linux and a web gui for the user. You could add a small battery to a setup like this and the cost for all hardware would still remain very low.
http://www.voltaicsystems.com/blog/powering-a-raspberry-pi-from-solar-power/ The example here uses a 9 watt solar panel.

This seems like more of a fun hobby to do something like this over a product non -geeks may want to use. When the device only uses 5 volts of power in first place most people will not complain about that or look for alternative power solutions.

We should see quite a few of new solutions come out in 2016 that make use of spare computing resources (not just hard drive space). In maidsafe they use the term "proof of resource" where users can contribute CPU, bandwidth, and hard drive space to their ecosystem of apps or mining safecoin itself by storing encrypted chunks of files for other users. If I had to choose between a system that fills up hard drives for the sole act of mining or something that makes use of the system for a more useful contribution I would choose the latter.

If Burst is not off the ground yet and about half of all coins are mined, when the other half are all mined why would anyone want to buy Burst when mining is over? You cannot earn any interest like a POS coin (unless you seek assets out and take those risks). What incentive is there for people to run nodes after mining has ended? I am also surprised a clone of Burst has not been created with a different coin distribution/mining process.

What happens when all of the coins are mined? Over half of all coins have been mined currently, right? How will the network stay secure when people will not run nodes since there are no more coins to mine? Transaction fees alone will not be enough incentive.

I am just trying to understand the long-term issues related to the coin supply.

There is no reason people will want to hold Burst, what can you do with it besides buy a handful of assets or maybe gamble. Sure it is a great alternative to traditional BTC mining being energy efficient.  The technical details of the coin in my opinion prevent it from being a currency or anything to compete with other solutions.

In the long run people will not want to waste hard drive space instead of power for the sole act of "mining". Other solutions that make use of hard drive space like Siacoin (already on production network, can earn by providing file storage space), Storj, maidsafe, ETH. There is no way Burst will be able to compete with those solutions.

I have been mining and holding Burst since the start like many here. I have enjoyed mining Burst but have a realistic outlook about it and not live in dreamland like people will prefer it over other solutions. You ask......why don't I do something to help it become a success. The answer is simple. I do not believe it can be a success due to the above reasons and other up an coming competition. Frankly, it is not worth saving.

Thank you for the response. I did see the new website but did not think that was the only option going forward.  This really seems like breaking the terms that the original asset was based upon. From the link above "Buy Back : on 30 Jul 2016(rate 1dbt/2nxt , 1dbt/2burst"
This is why I bought this asset in the first place and waiting for the 2016 buyback. I do not really have the desire to convert them into BTC mining shares but I guess that is my only option now. If he was going to go this route he should at least put a buy on the exchange to give people the opportunity to cash out since he changed the original terms.

Is anyone else receiving dividend payments on the Asset Debenture?

The last payment I received was on 10/9/2015, up until that time these payments were consistent weekly payments. Two months without a single payment is getting excessive.

There has not been any communication from Koko at all about this and last post from him was over a month ago in this thread.

https://forum.cryptomining.farm/index.php?topic=7.0

I assume I will get categorized as the same from you (shill, henchman, cheerleader) but a few things to point out. I have seen quite a few different crypto solutions since January 2012 (before hearing of eMunie in June 2013) and I can say with confidence that I feel eMunie is the only one that I have come across that addresses all of the flaws of BTC AND has ability to scale to be a mainstream solution for the public or your average non-technical consumer. It will hold a public IPO after the product is 90% complete and close to launch versus hold an IPO and start development from scratch.

eMunie really redefines mining in general to instead of that you are rewarded fairly for participating or running services for the network (distributing ledger, chat service, mail service, profile service, ratings service, decentralized marketplace) Someone that joins eMunie years down the road will have a clear path to participate and be rewarded with eMunie in addition to earning interest on their balance. I like to think of it as a hybrid between POS and POW for the end user.

I also do not post very frequently with Senior level member still as I approach my 4th year here shortly. For many people in this forum part of the fun is evaluating the best solution and have probably ran a wallet for hundreds of different coins. The current environment is more like horse racing than anything else. We all are betting on different horses here. In my case I am picking a Perfecta of eMunie for the Win and maid safe to come in second. Those two projects have something in common in that they are both carry themselves with integrity, years of dedication, and an attitude of designing the product in the best way without cutting corners. Personally I would like to see the two of them work together and think they would make a good combination. This is why it can take years, especially in the case of eMunie with 1 developer.

I have enjoyed keeping up on the other solutions out there.  I also paid the 10 protoshares back in the day to get a preferred ID in Bitshares in 2014, at the time I guess I got bored with that and the workaround needing to resync the blockchain to get it moving again. In the eMunie testing has it ever got stuck on various beta's sure. many times. But that is the difference it is not released to the public and would not without extensive testing to make sure that will not happen. Our current test network just hit 2.4 million transactions without getting stuck. That is the type of testing BTS should do before they release. Some of the other coins I have looked into are Burst, (proof of capacity based) it has lasted over a year and it is unique and why it had my interest. It was fun to learn, fun to mine, and enjoyable way to pass the time. Does it have the ability to compete with other solutions...no, not at all but fun none the less. Also tested Storj, potential exists there too but just prefer maidsafe myself. I have tested ETH mining out and hard to believe they are on a live network. It does not seem all that fair to give the tech guru an advantage to mine it now without simple GUI available and a year later with Serenity release be full POS coin where the average user must "buy in" to use it. I do give credit to Bitshares over ETH in that regard of just having a Windows wallet available originally.

The point is that many of us here do look for the BEST solution and willing to give each of them a chance. It is a great idea on this OP to spur some competition and pass the time, why not. It would only be one factor that people may use in their evaluation of different solutions. I am happy to see the focus in the alt coin section sort of evolve toward the more unique solutions in general away from the copy/paste coins. eMunie, BTS, VNL, XMR, DASH all have their thriving community of users. Let the all around best solution win. (achieve a level equal to or above BTC) that should be the overall goal here for all of them.

At that rate it will take you quite a while to build up many coins. Only 20GB of plots? You really need to have much more space allocated if you want to build up any amount of coins (have you seen how much they are worth currently?) You could buy 1 million coins for about $66. You are competing with people who have several TB allocated. You have joined Burst at a very interesting time. I think the mining is the fun part but who knows what will happen in the bigger picture for this coin.

BTW, same reason I chose Cobra as well, had an 03 Vert, shown here. https://i.imgur.com/OCpyIxg.jpg

Who is the imposter here 
Welcome though (Cobra98)

I have been planning how I want to make new plots (currently not mining and just in a holding pattern) have been waiting for this clone to come out and give that a shot.

Maybe other people have thought to use a solution like this and it sounds like it could really work well with an easy way to scale. Also can protect against a drive failure if you wanted to do that to avoid replotting.

Host OS: unRaid 6.1 http://lime-technology.com Keep in mind that is not a free product but a free trial exists for it supporting 3 drives.
Plotting: I was able to run a Linux Mint 17.2 KVM with a nVidia GTX970 passed through to the VM, this would allow for plot creation with GPU.
Plot Storage: One of the main advantages of this setup is the flexibility in adding drives when needed. A share can be published directly to the KVM and uses VirtIO for a  high speed link to the disks so it should be able to handle the writes from the GPU.
Low overhead mining: A Docker or (Linux container) could be created with the miner running in that with the share of plots exposed to it as an alternative to running the full KVM where the plots were created.

Even though this is a paid product it could work well if you are mining with under 24 drives. It seemed like a good fit for this application so just wanted to mention it.

This was the reason (DPOS) I lost interest in August 2014 after you confirmed this is how the system worked via email to me. At the time the network had just launched and established itself with the 101 nodes. I have 0 faith in a system where I have to try to run a campaign for votes or get people to like me and vote for me. The task of running a node should not matter as long as the task at hand is performed properly by the hardware there should be no need for human interaction in the process or chances for delegates to collude on voting. I can see being voted out if you cannot meet certain levels of performance but they should be given a timeframe or deadline to upgrade as needed. (why not other nodes are there to fallback on).

The human aspect should not have anything to do with being selected as a delegate in my opinion. Why can't that process be automated or the system automatically kicking out delegates that do not meet performance levels and selecting new random nodes without voting?  If you have a standby list of delegates that you need to climb up to reach the 101 would some not wait years?

A random selection of new delegates would solve the problem of fairness for all and give new users an opportunity to participate without voting. Let the nodes perform a task and take the human element out of it. Even if a delegate is doing their job properly a rotation should exist where they can only be in the 101 for so long.

I guess the bottom line is that this system is centralized and not much focus is put on fairness for all.  With eMunie any user who chooses to run services and perform work in the network will be rewarded accordingly regardless of when they start, 1 day or 3yrs down the road. Decentralized........Fast.......Fair.

lol, you seem quite proud of that status. It does not really mean anything. I have been here 2yrs longer than you have.

Burst is unique and that is what attracted me to it in the very beginning. I wish more products/services were built up around it or that people could see the potential with the efficiency.  The ease of use issues were really the problem for the last year, only recently this has been taken care of with web wallet and the all in one solutions.

I agree with the concern crowetic mentioned with half of the coins mined and what will happen when they are all mined, will people still run nodes, how secure will it be? Increasing the mining reward does not sound like a good solution to speed that process up. I honestly cannot think of a good solution based on where it sits now that still respects the fundamentals the coin was founded upon.

I have deleted my plots and sort of in limbo at the moment. I am waiting for the clone to give that a shot. I can't say the increased mining rewards would be the solution either but likely the current status of Burst and these mining hurdles will be taken into consideration or at least a different approach. I am really on the fence about any POC coin making it in the long run when people may opt to use the drive space for other up and coming coins. Those type of solutions make use of the HD space or may hold the value better due to an ecosystem of products/services.

you can type this in the console to get current block number: exp.blockNumber
Verify that number with the block you see on http://exp.suprnova.cc

Until a block explorer is available this is the best you can do.
The above command should be included in the OP as well.

I look forward to seeing the clone Bit creates and plan to mine it. It has been over a year since Burst came out, surprised there is not one by now.

I really hope the clone will stay independent of Burst and create some competition in the POC mining scene. Having a completely separate clone will bring much more attention to POC and more miners in. It does not seem fair to change the fundamentals of Burst now even it that means it could be attacked.......if so let nature take its course and the location of the hash power will speak for itself.

I am against a dual miner or merge mining solution and feel that people need to pick which camp they are in and commit to it. Even with GPU plotting it can take quite a while if you have many TB to fill, leave it up to the user on how they choose to utilize the space and the percentage of each they will allocate/mine but not use the same plots for both.

I'm sure many will disagree and say this is a bad idea but I don't feel giving people a choice or completely separate coin is a bad thing. Trying to adapt Burst does not feel like the right thing to do.

Just out of curiosity......are these the nodes you seem to be connected to? I wonder if only Win10 machines are connecting to each other.
