Hei!

Eg har sjølv berre ein laptop (Lenovo Y-50) som eg brukar til vanleg bruk og samtidig til mining. Sjølv om eg ikkje har stor profitt lærer eg mykje om miningprosessar. Å mine på ein laptop kan vere risikabelt blant anna på grunn av varmeutvikling, men eg har mina i snart to år utan problem. Eg brukar 'Open Hardware Monitor' til å overvåke både CPU og GPU temperatur, og har i tillegg laptopen ståande på eit underlag med innebygd vifte som står på 50% styrke.

Du nemnde Minergate. Denne programvaren har eg brukt til å mine diverse Cryptonote algoritmar med både CPUen og GPUen min, men algoritmen er resistent mot GPU, så du får ikkje stor effekt av han. Når Minergate introduserte Ethereum mining til klienten sin, mina eg den ei stund òg. No om dagane minar eg 'Library Credits' (LBC) og 'Siacoin' (SC) med ccMiner programmet henta frå http://cryptomining-blog.com/8214-official-ccminer-1-8-1-fork-by-tpruvot-with-siacoin-sc-support/. Eg minar ikkje solo, men i suprnova sin pool: https://www.suprnova.cc/. GPUen min er ein nVidia GeForce 860M om du lurte på det.

I tillegg minar eg kryptovaluaten Burst ved å bruke den ledige plassen på harddisken min (ein kan kople til fleire HDDar for å klare å mine enda meir). Burst-mining utviklar ikkje varme i det heile tatt, og kostar nesten ikkje eit øre dersom du minar frå datamaskina som du likevel brukar til andre ting. Det er med andre ord ikkje problematisk i det heile tatt å mine Burst med ein laptop. Svært forenkla skal ein lage såkalla 'plotfiler' på HDDen éin gong, og deretter lese av filene i gjennomsnitt kvart 4. minutt (mining). Slitasjen på HDDane er i tillegg minimal. Du finn meg her om du ønsker å byrje med Burst: http://forums.burst-team.us:4567/topic/1078/velkomen-til-burst.

Du kan altså bruke både CPU, GPU og ledig plass på HDD. Eg trur til og med det er nokre altcoins som eksperimenterar med å mine med RAM. Moglegheitene er mange! 

Eg har brukt Bitcoinsnorway fleire gongar utan problem, men UIen er ikkje akkurat optimal. Likevel, kjøp og sal har gått smertefritt.

It looks cool, but it's a bit hard to make out the B in Burst.

I'm mining on supernova, but I think it was something to do with my gpu, it's all good again now 

I'm not sure why, but my hashrate has suddenly dropped from about 40 MH/s to 15 MH/s... Anything going on that I should know about? I haven't changed any settings on miner or GPU (using gtx 860m).

I just voted. Remember that we get a free vote every 30 days.

It says "We focus our attention on coins from the TOP 3 of the list", and currently we are number 4.

They (regular users) are definitely talking about Burst and PoC, but I'm not sure that the devs are planning to switch algos. It appears to have been suggested to them though.

Maybe the upcoming PR campaign is what's needed to break through the resistance points, and after that it's moon 

Damn, missed the initial release of the Burstize asset! When is the second batch scheduled to be released?

If we were talking of anything else than PoC I would agree with you, but because this is PoC (and because of what I wrote in the last post), I disagree. It is totally worth it. 

There is virtually no wear and tear on devices that are used for Burst mining, which is one of the things that makes this technology unique. As far as I know this is the only coin where you can use your free hard drive space for mining. Because of how Proof-of-Capacity works, you are basically risking nothing by mining this coin. This means that you won't lose anything but rather earn 0.8$ with your 1 TB per month. There is no catch, and you can keep mining your other coins simultaneously.

If you read and learn more about Burst you will realize that there are lots of interesting projects going on, and there will be many new things introduced in the (near) future. The dev team is constantly working on improving the coin and technology, and the community is growing each day. These fundamentals alone make it likely that the value of Burst will rise and keep rising. So, personally, I would look at the 0.08$ per month for 1 TB of mining capacity as a cheap entry point, and not as a "fixed" monthly income.

If you want to earn more you can always buy an extra hard disk or two, or simply buy burstcoins and invest them into assets in the asset exchange.

You wish to use 1 TB, which means that you will have to create plot files in that free space. In order to mine, you need to chose a miner that reads your plots files (simplified, that is how you mine with Burst). The more TB you have allocated to your plots files, the more hash power you have. However, there are certain other factors that kick in too, such as how fast you are able to read your plot files each round. Using a GPU miner to read your plot files will be quicker, and in some scenarios it can make you earn a bit more, but with only 1 TB of space you might as well use a CPU miner. Whichever miner you choose, it will put very little load on your CPU/GPU, as they are mostly reading your plots files, and not making all kinds of heavy computations like with 'conventional' mining.

Since you are new, I recommend heading over to our official forum and checking out the FAQ section: https://forums.burst-team.us/category/12/faq.

*EDIT*

To earn more burstcoin in addition to your mining, you can also check out the surfbar and one of the threads about faucets:

If we allocate our LIR for dividends, will we also be staking as well as getting dividends? Or is it only possible to stake if you keep them in your own wallet? Staking and getting dividends is possible with the similar service on Just-dice.com using 'CLAMS', which is why I ask.

I'm on it as well 

The feature is already there when you press the Auto button, but it's not working with me. It states that you can enter the value 0 to roll endlessly, but with me it rolls forever anyway.

I worded myself wrong here, I meant that I cannot specify the amount of ROLLS to enable the bot to stop after, say, 20 rolls. With me it just keeps rolling, so I have to stop it manually.

I climbed to 9th, bet that won't last long!

*edit*

Max amount of bets with auto doesn't work with me though, I have to stop the bot manually.

That would be nice!

Mine was too, but I managed to resolve it. Try this: Quit the wallet client (make sure it is gone from system tray too), go to AppData - Roaming - BurstWallet - burst_db and delete the burst.h2.db file. If you have problems deleting it, you can force quit java from task manager. Then, you can either fire up the wallet client again and manually sync the blockchain (didn't try that), or you can go to http://db.burst-team.us and download and unzip that same file you deleted earlier, and put it in the same folder. Then, when you fire up the wallet client, it should already be up-to-date, or else it will sync in no time at all.

Note: I have sometimes had problems installing one of the .jar files during previous windows wallet client installations (not this time though). It could perhaps be due to a java process running, or something else. However, a simple restart of my computer solved the issue.

I see that you're back in business - nice deadline and reward =)
