[ANN][BURST] Burst | Efficient HDD Mining | New 1.2.3 Fork block 92000

[110110101]

Maybe somebody hacked network? Its unreal situation!

Probably not, if so we would have seen many rejected blocks, or other attempts to attack the network. I think that we are seeing new big companies joining the network with surplus diskspace available. But is one or more companies are joining, surly others will follow.

seem burst are now in the focus of big players.

if burstcoin would now release a new version with at least mininal updates, the price would rise fast.....

[yellowduck2]

now without a shadow of a doubt buying at 100 150 sat is much more profitable than mining. If this continue to grow , buying at 200 sat would be better than buying hardware to mine.

Short term yes, long term.. setting up a miner now would probably be more profitable.

Long term will be like 6 - 12 months , price can spike anytime. Mining cannot keep up when price spike up. Fast and big profit when purchase at 100 - 150 sat is defiantly better profit. Who knows what will happen in couple of months time ? We already witness a dramatic network size increase within a short period of time. It's hard to get the same number of burst from mining compare to buying using same amount of money. If u talk about years , mining is better but most people want fast and big profit. There is even a chance home miner can't mine anymore due to datacenter taking control of the network. It's like datacenter is the asic and home miner is gpu.

What if someone did gpu miner? One part of miner write in RAM file, other part read, then RAM clear and again in a circle? Its possible?

someone has tried some hundred pages ago...

Its possible, but not worthwhile. A high end 200W-GPU equals about 40GB of disk space. Plus your amount of ram of cause.

WTF with dev pool v1? About 14 hours without payments

i do not know if the eqution 200W-GPU = 40GB is right.. but if ita so... it is a waste of time and energy..

or maybe did you want to tell 40TB??

This was the result I got with a modified GPU plotter on a R280X. Maybe it can be tuned a little more, but certainly not to 40TB.

a highly optimized code may get close to 12 TB in 240 seconds if only the memory bandwidth would be the limit.
i think of some sort of nonce to deadline code comparable to what the wallet does while verifying.
either way you compare 250 watts against 14 watts which makes it impossible to mine with gpu.

ok...
i understand...

and so..
i think it is really a waste of time and money!!!

 

[dcct]

if only the memory bandwidth would be the limit.

But its not. You can't just ignore the biggest part of the equation.

i think of some sort of nonce to deadline code comparable to what the wallet does while verifying.

Of cause thats what you are doing. Generate the whole nonce, take the scoop you need and check it for the deadline.

ok...

The dev did a really good job on making GPU/CPU-mining infeasible. I spent a lot of time trying to find a way - but couldn't find one.

burst dev is an hard worker..

he write not so much... but he works a lot...

 

[okae]

This coin call my attention, im reading how this work and from my point of view the dev is doing a great job.

PoC is just a new idea and i start to love it , i just buy 2tb external hdd to start mining it, do you think is enought for a good start?


i will try to use this miner -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=731923.msg9696842#msg9696842   

with the poolV2 config, i will post the results as soon as my new hdd come

I will keep and eye on this thread and come back more often!!

[bobafett]

okae your welcome....

you are welcome!!

but i hope you increase your TB soon to get some burst!!!

looks like the last diff increase pushed the trade volumes on the exchanges towards zero.
is this a good or a bad sign?

today i finished my tests with a arm based standalone miner.
plots are parsed at 8mb/s (mainly limited by the cpu) which is enough to run a 6tb sata drive with it.
i used one of these 50$ boards and a 6tb wd red hdd.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236737&cm_re=6tb-_-22-236-737-_-Product

it has been a bit tricky to power this with a regular power supply but there is no magic involved.
once the device is booted up the sd card is not needed anymore cause everything runs from ram.
to fill the drive up with plots i attached it to a regular pc. the wallet still runs on a regular pc cause i mine solo.
during the next couple of days i expect to have tested the average power consumption for this setup in production.
so far the setup seems to require less than 6 watts on average.
if anyone is interested in putting a ready to mine image together and maintain it (eg. someone with a pool) pm me for details.

i have this error with latest blago miner release...
"share lost due the new block"
and
passfhare is for different account?

hi blago!!!

any idea about this error???

all work fine with miner-burst-1.141020.
this is the config

Code:

{
   "Mode" : "pool",
   "Server" : "cryptomining.farm",
   "Port": 80,
   "Paths":["G:\\BURST_Miner\\dcct\\plots", "H:\\BURST_Miner\\dcct\\plots", "I:\\BURST_Miner\\dcct\\plots", "J:\\BURST_Miner\\dcct\\plots", "K:\\BURST_Miner\\dcct\\plots", "L:\\BURST_Miner\\dcct\\plots"],
   "CacheSize" : 100000,
   "ShowMsg" : false , 
   "ShowUpdates" : false,
   "UseSorting" : true,
   "Debug": true,
   "UseResponseMaxTime": false,

   "SendInterval": 100,
   "UpdateInterval": 3000,
   "UpdaterAddr" : "localhost",
   "UpdaterPort": 8125
} 

but with miner-burst-1.141129
and this config

Code:

{
   "Mode" : "pool",

   "Server" : "cryptomining.farm",
   "Port": 80,

   "UpdaterAddr" : "localhost",
   "UpdaterPort": 8125,

   "EnableProxy": false,
   "ProxyPort": 8126,

   "Paths":["G:\\BURST_Miner\\dcct\\plots", "H:\\BURST_Miner\\dcct\\plots", "I:\\BURST_Miner\\dcct\\plots", "J:\\BURST_Miner\\dcct\\plots", "K:\\BURST_Miner\\dcct\\plots", "L:\\BURST_Miner\\dcct\\plots"],
   "CacheSize" : 200000,

   "ShowMsg" : false , 
   "ShowUpdates" : false,

   "UseSorting" : true,
   "Debug": false,

   "SendBestOnly": false,
   "UseFastRcv" : true, 
   "SendInterval": 100,

} 

i get the error above!

is this a good or a bad sign?

I dont see anything out of ordinary volume wise, maybe even slight more volume (used to be 2BTC avg volume, now its around 3, across all 3 exchanges). The top volume moved from polo to cex recently, though.

Neat!

I'm of the opinion raspis are far too expensive to cover ROI but to each of their own.

What about consumer hardware with other purpose already (wireless routers with USB2 ports in particular). Some are fairly "powerful", almost as a raspi, ie this is what I have:

Shabal probably sucks roughly the same there as well.
