[abctc]

Those, who have 1000Burst assets at Nxt Asset Gateway and did not sellback at 50 NXT, please withdraw your BURST coins from Burst gateway with 5% interest  (5% more coins).

interest or fee?

- interest, because of my promise:

...
So I'll send BURST to asset holders in 1-2 month, with 5%/month interest.

Your problem is the plots directory.. Change this with your plots directory..

I need to have all in the root, is that it?

no, you need to set the plot directory to /path/to/plotfolder(called plots i guess)

Oh man, this is way too difficulty for me
Is there any newbish-type tutorial that I can use?

[crowetic]

Managed to get escrow integrated into the wallet interface. Still need to do a few tests on a multi-computer testnet, but you can expect a new client update tomorrow. To avoid the mess of having too many people not having updated when it goes into effect, instead of choosing a block in advance for forking, I'll be trying out using the alias system to enable it. Escrow will be enabled when I set a particular alias to "enabled". In case of any issues, it will also be disable-able this way. After it has been seen to be working for a while, future client updates will ignore the alias, and just keep it enabled.

You are the best, dev.

Thank you so much for all of your work, we will stand behind you to get this coin recognized and supported by all!

+1, how can all us people who don't know much help?

Open a cmd window in your miner folder and then

Code:

dir

then in the folder containing the miner as well

[crowetic]

Yes, how about someone helping me by writing up some guides? I'll put down 5k burst for a good set of guides, one which includes linux/windows/solo/pool/urayv2/devv2/

I was already thinking about writing up some guides, and I will do it for free, so don't worry about paying me. The guides that I was going to write up are...

1. General how-to get started (including sending and receiving coins to 'activate' wallet.)

2. How to use the original plotter, and the C plotter (in Windows only.)

3. How to mine (in windows only.)

4. How to use the new GUI from burst.today (with video walk-through for ultra noobs, as most noobies should be able to figure it out without the video.)

I have good grammar, and spelling, and I type about 85-95 WPM on average, so I think I'm qualified to do this. I was also on burst since day 1, and mined my first block in the 700's.


I will also explain the difference between pool and solo mining, and explain what to do to execute each.

If not, go in your plots folder and copy your address like in the web..

Sorry about that. Its back.

Thanks.

I think is again down. It show 0 block and "invalid json recieved" from miner.

I'm using dcct's new miner to solo mine and I keep getting this:

Code:

Walet reported no deadline.
229 MB read/917 GB total/no deadline

Any idea what might be causing this? and how to fix it?  

I'm mining with 6TB by the way.

dcct's miner can not handle special characters in your passphrase properly.
If you use special characters in your passpharase and you want to use dcct's miner,
you should change miner's code a little or change your passphrase and replot all you HDDs.

If passphrase contains special characters like !"#$%& etc..., the miner won't mine properly.
The special characters must be encoded like %21%22%23%24%25%26.
The line 72 and 372 of  mine.c should be modified like following.

Code:

LINE 72:
// Buffer to read the passphrase to
char passphrase[/*2001*/6001];


LINE 372:
#if 0
        for( i=0; i<bytes; i++ ) {
                if( passphrase[i] == ' ' )
                        passphrase[i] = '+';

                // end on newline
                if( passphrase[i] == '\n' )
                        passphrase[i] = 0;
        }
#else
        {
                char work[6001];
                long result = 0;
                char *p = NULL;
                long loop1;


                p = work;
                for (loop1=0; loop1 < bytes; loop1++) {
                        result = isalnum(passphrase[loop1]);

                        if (result == 0) {
                                if (passphrase[loop1] != 0xa) { /* if not newline. */
                                        sprintf(p, "%%%x", passphrase[loop1]);
                                        p+=3;
                                }
                        } else {
                                *p = passphrase[loop1];
                                p++;
                        }
                }
                bytes = p - work;
                memcpy(passphrase, work, bytes);
        }
#endif

Hey man thanks a lot for the answer, this is the kind of answer I was looking for. I tried modifying line #372 and nothing happened, is there any way you could PM me a link to download your mine.c file?

This patch is for older version of dcct's miner.
dcct will fix this some day.

But if you are in hurry, follow instructions bellow.

1. Downlowd latest dcct_miner.tgz from somewhere.
2. Copy & Paste following script where dcct_miner.tgz is exists.

Code:

bash
mkdir dcct_miner
cd dcct_miner
tar zxvf ../dcct_miner.tgz

You can find miner at dcct_miner/mine.
I hope this works.

Your problem is the plots directory.. Change this with your plots directory..

I need to have all in the root, is that it?

My example:
 {
    "poolUrl" : "127.0.0.1:8125",
    "submissionMaxDelay" : 30,
    "submissionMaxRetry" : 3,
    "socketTimeout" : 60,
    "maxBufferSizeMB" : 4196,
    "plots" :
    [
       "G:\\plots",
       "E:\\plots",
   "I:\\plots",
   "H:\\plots",
   "D:\\plots",
   "F:\\plots",
"J:\\plots"
   ]
 }

Have you enough RAM? This miner doesn't accept solo mining..

[110110101]

Can someone help me setting up my .conf file in uray's miner?

I have this settings:

 {
    "poolUrl" : "burst-pool.cryptoport.io",
    "submissionMaxDelay" : 30,
    "submissionMaxRetry" : 3,
    "socketTimeout" : 60,
    "maxBufferSizeMB" : 64,
    "plots" :
    [
       "c:\\pocminer_v1\\plots",
       "c:\\plots"
   ]
 }

But when I start the miner it closes instantly.
I'm trying to mine burst, but getting hard time setting things up. Could really use some help.
Thanks

I'm guessing that you mega do not have any plots?
You need to have them before getting started pool mining.

Here is a guide to get you started: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=731923.msg8878839#msg8878839

In an essence: make your plot files, then have a miner use these plot files for generating BURST, either solo mining but maybe better to join a pool. Otherwise, if you have your plots, simply point the miner to them with the location places in the provided .conf file.

8096 system ram
Are you sure about solo mining?

[Sglasio]

What best solo miners working with larger stagger plots?

[yuk]

is it possible see the deadline that found the block in the block expoler?

[fivebells]

is it possible see the deadline that found the block in the block expoler?

You can infer it with reasonable accuracy from the delay since the reporting of the previous block.

*want more miner

[go6ooo1212]

@Uray and @Blago:

Guys obviously I have some regional issue with connecting the remote IP using R3/R4 Uray's miners such an issue I have with the Blago's miner:

My settings at R4 miner in the conf file are:

 {
    "poolUrl" : "burstpool.ddns.net",
    "submissionMaxDelay" : 30,
    "submissionMaxRetry" : 3,
    "socketTimeout" : 60,
    "maxBufferSizeMB" : 2048,
    "plots" :
    [
       "D:\\BURST\\gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x86-2.1.1\\plots"
   ]
 }

It doesn't matter if I set buffersize 64 / 2048 / 4096.. Also doesn't matter if I set port (8124 for DDNS pool) or not (80 port). I tried with firewall absolutely OFF- same situation.
I have different account on other PCs with different IPs and location , the accounts are for both Uray's pools - same issue.
Let me show you some screenshots:




I'm still using JAVA miner without any issue , but I have to start different miner for every single HDD ploted...
