[ANN][BWK] BULWARK | NO ICO | Masternodes | Accelerated PoW | Seesaw PoS/MN

[fergieman92]

What a impressive and potential statistics for such a young coin like Bullwark!
https://masternodes.pro/stats/bwk

Question... can this amount go DOWN if the value of the coin does *not* go down ?

I am very interested in setting up a master-node assuming it has limited down-side potential (assuming coin price doesn't crash at least).

If the priced stays where it is, the profit margin of Masternodes would go down as more go online. The more masternodes online, the less coins each one gets.
Keep in mind the MN rewards are only at 20% and will be going to 25% in the next couple days. In 2 more months it will be 50% rewards for the remaining 9 months.

Yay got my shared master node running with the help of Ghost miner while I get more coins to get a node for myself. THis way I get coins and get rewards at the same time.

Is this still working out?  I was thinking of signing up for the second MN, but there seems to be surprising little interest for a new BWK node on discord.  How are the payments and service?

Hey Bulwarkians, Is there any mining software to solo mine with AMD GPU's using windows anymore? I don't want any responses about how it is not feasible to solomine because that is always the answer I get and I don't care AT ALL if it is feasible. I just want to know if there is a mining program that supports get block template and AMD GPU's for windows because I can not find anything. Thanks

I think sgminer supports solo mining just fine, it's usually more about the wallet than about the miner (some wallets don't allow solo mining). Not sure about BWK, just run it with "server=1" in the config and see whether it accepts your miners. I'm not going to say how "it's not feasible to solomine" cause it obviously depends on the total hashrate available to you. I am going to say though that mining NIST5 with amd cards is a waste of hashpower, it's kinda like mining ETH with GTX 1080 / 1080 Ti cards. AMD's are no good for NIST5, nvidia cards are much better at this algo. If you want to get BWK, mine the proper algos with your AMD cards (the ones they're good at like ETN/Cryptonight) and then exchange those coins for BWK — you'll get a lot more of them this way.

Thanks, good advice!

huge difficulty and nethash increase. Indeed probably nicehash, hope they get hacked again.

lol, why we need ASIC resistant algo when there is nicehash?

Nicehash back up and running and people are using it? I would be a bit nervous using nicehash after what happened!

I prefer to mine coins directly, instead of hopping around using nicehash and selling straight away for bitcoin.

[startsts]

Nicehash is trash,  still has no LTC deposits, I'm not going to use.   I prefer mining rig rentals service but they have few nist5 rigs

188 masternodes for today's statistics.

The ROI is extremely good, too.

This coin is a potential hidden gem and could easily 10x, as xzc did. Consider it's a privacy one inspired by Dash and PIVX, with masternodes implemented

ROI is not only parameter. I hope price will rise slowly

The combination of MN ROI and the price trend of BWK during the last weeks makes it a brilliant investment idea. Unfortunately the MN is already quite expensive.

hello Everyone,

i currently am mining cryptonight with Ethos, i am trying to figure out a way to mine Bulwark using the OS and haven't been able to figure it out.

If anyone knows how to use Ethos to mine Bulwark or the can tell me the configuration i have to put in the local.conf for it to work would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

What GPUs are you operating?  You may need to compile a NIST5 miner for your OS.

Hi there, when BWK goes to other important exchanges? some predicitions...

Hi there, when BWK goes to other important exchanges? some predicitions...

The Bulwark team is committed to the long-term health and stability of this project.  Major exchanges want to see novel features and longevity from non-ICO coins prior to listing.  Bulwark is focused on  executing in both of those areas and we are not actively pursuing additional exchange listings at this time.

How come in the masternodes tab I cannot see any other existing masternodes?
That is standard with all similar wallets. Was that functionality intentionally removed?

Also what is the default port the masternode should be configured with?

I looked at the masternode setup blog entry from the official site but it seems not to go into detail about some things.
Is there another guide around? I'd like one preferably with examples of what each conf file should look like for both the local and the remote node

Thanks

Yes, they intentionally removed that functionality.
https://github.com/bulwark-crypto/Bulwark/releases

    Removed global masternode list

    No reason to waste CPU cycles constantly updating a GUI list (and all the associated sanity checks that go along with it)
    No reason to give a nice IP-sortable list to spoonfeed the skiddies on a good subnet to take down.
    Use RPC command listmasternodes instead

Hm, alright, thanks for the update

something is definitely happening. All the major pools today are hit by large influx of hash for 30 minutes which then disappears.
The difficulty rises during the 30 minutes, but when the hash disappears difficulty does not go down fast enough.

So smaller miners who stay on the pools are hurt bad, my mining return is very bad today.
Difficulty going up and down from 32000 to 42000 to 31000 within 30 minutes is not normal

If this continues BWK is no longer viable to mine. The algo seems not to adjust to hashrate peaks well.

Just look bsod.pw, umine.org and unimining.net. They cover around 80% of total hashrate but all 3 no blocks found last 20 minutes, just after a big hashrate peak.
Difficulty is now down from 42000 to 27000, soon we see the hashrate spike again. (nethash down from 1.8 Th/s to 970 Gh/s)

That's just how difficulty retargeting works. Short of being able to adjust difficulty mid-block, massive hash spikes are going to slow things down briefly considering a significantly lower amount of hash is attempting to solve for a block with a significantly higher difficulty. Once that block is hit, difficulty retargets to normalize block times until the next massive hash spike comes in and drives difficulty up again.

Another way to help this would be to spread the hash rates around more evenly so they're not localized in one or two pools. This, unfortunately, is something entirely beyond our control. People are going to go flock to the pools with the highest hash rates no matter what evidence you give them that it's healthier for mining as a whole either way.

Well profit switching pools like Nicehash and Zpool (and large private mining farms) exploit this mechanism. They wait until difficulty is down, redirect there massive hashpower to the coin and quickly mine a few. Then when difficulty rises they move over to a different coin. Other normal 1:1 pools are hurt by this because their mining result changes up and down since they ride out the high difficulty phase of the same coins (the auto switching miners are long gone by then).

I tested both on bsod.pw and zpool mining the same neoscrypt coin. The amount I make a day on Zpool is much larger. All profit calculators are wrong because difficulty changes up and down by more then 50%.
