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

[crazyearner]

Is anyone still dumb enough to be wasting their time mining this worthless crap coin?  I haven't been here in a while and I don't miss it one bit. 

Well if you got nothing good to say about burst or your not interested in it then move on and go to some other worthless junk coin. Theirs many to chose from. Burst is different and am confident that this will prove successful in the coming months as more get to use it and start using it for business as myself will be using it on my website as payment and to buy products..

i would of expected alot better from a hero member.

[unsoindovo]

who can implement a dice game with automatic transaction???

i'm dreaming a primedice site who accept birstCoin!!!

who is capable to implement this game?

[GenTarkin]

Hey PR TEAM!! U guys should try to get burst listed on shapeshift.io!

[freedomsr40]

hey everyone so im new here, i want to mine burst, first off the mining calculator projects that with a 1tb drive youd gt approx 6,000 burst per day, is that accurate in a pool or just solo mining or both? also i try to run the wallet and it says i dont have java installed when i do i have java 8 installed on a 64 bit windows machine, any ideas? i need a very detailed setup guide, thanks!

[crazyearner]

FAO of everyone. I will have a new guide up shortly for this coin covering all areas from setting up wallet to mining to generating plots with gpu and cpu software. This should be fingers crossed completed end of weekend if I have the time to finish off and touch up. This will be in multipul formats from PDF to Windows document to plain text format and also online documents that will be available to download and will be updated online to so that you can keep up to speed of new releases and will keep them up to date for everyone.

Check the calculator again. I'm at 40 to 50 TB (lost count) and i think i'm getting like somewhere between 10K and 20K burst a day on average over a longer period (solo mining). sometimes it is days between i win blocks (which give like 7000 or so each atm.) sometimes i get 4-5-6 blocks in a day.  but over time, and counting in snafu's with the hardware, i would guestimate i average about 10 to 20 thous. burst a day using 40 to 50 TB.  that's way south of 6K for 1TB.

compared to how i will hopefully mine soon i dont really mine at the moment
but yes. i mine.

i am in conversation with people having petabyte scale storage resources available.
currently we discuss business plans and expansion options when it runs full within a few month.
also we think about a way to offer cloudmining but for now it looks better for us to not distribute mined coins.
we will see what will happen.

With having so much plotted how do you have this configured are you just using some device to attach them all to like usb hub etc or connected to computer and in rack  layout

Until crazyearner can get his awesome new guide up, here is a little something by crowetic to get you on your way

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ytq47AmQZ1rzjoFuMW33c82JkuJ1L61Pdp95ZLbi3-k/edit?usp=sharing

Also, all the references in the run file are for java 7 so if you don't want to change them yourself to java 8, install java 7.

Instructions for changing the references, also by crowe

Code:

@ECHO OFF
IF EXIST java (
	start "BURST" java -cp burst.jar;lib\*;conf nxt.Nxt
) ELSE (
	IF EXIST "%PROGRAMFILES%\Java\jre7" (
		start "BURST" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -cp burst.jar;lib\*;conf nxt.Nxt
	) ELSE (
		IF EXIST "%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Java\jre7" (
			start "BURST" "%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -cp burst.jar;lib\*;conf nxt.Nxt
		) ELSE (
			ECHO Java software not found on your system. Please go to http://java.com/en/ to download a copy of Java.
			PAUSE
		)
	)
)

new code changes necessary...

Code:

@ECHO OFF
IF EXIST java (
	start "BURST" java -cp burst.jar;lib\*;conf nxt.Nxt
) ELSE (
	IF EXIST "%PROGRAMFILES%\Java\jre1.8.0_31\bin\java.exe" (
		start "BURST" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Java\jre1.8.0_31\bin\java.exe" -cp burst.jar;lib\*;conf nxt.Nxt
	) ELSE (
		IF EXIST "%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Java\jre7" (
			start "BURST" "%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -cp burst.jar;lib\*;conf nxt.Nxt
		) ELSE (
			ECHO Java software not found on your system. Please go to http://java.com/en/ to download a copy of Java.
			PAUSE
		)
	)
)

Going to base it off java 8 considering its the newest about so might as well do for latest version so that everyone has everything upto date and make changes when needed to be inserted for newer and beyond. Am going to be testing Java 8 very shortly as need to update a lot on the guide and once that's done and gathered all notes together it will be done and formatted correctly.

Edit the "run.bat" file in the burst_1.2.1 folder an uncomment (with #) in the third line the part  -> start "Burst" .

The run.bat should look like this (i've also changed the path to the java directory %PROGRAMFILES%\Java\jre1.8.0_31):

@ECHO OFF
IF EXIST java (
   #start "BURST"
java -cp burst.jar;lib\*;conf nxt.Nxt
) ELSE (
   IF EXIST "%PROGRAMFILES%\Java\jre1.8.0_31" (
      start "BURST" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Java\jre1.8.0_31\bin\java.exe" -cp burst.jar;lib\*;conf nxt.Nxt
   ) ELSE (
      IF EXIST "%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Java\jre1.8.0_31" (
         start "BURST" "%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Java\jre1.8.0_31\bin\java.exe" -cp burst.jar;lib\*;conf nxt.Nxt
      ) ELSE (
         ECHO Java software not found on your system. Please go to http://java.com/en/ to download a copy of Java.
         PAUSE
      )
   )
)

Section 1 of 6 sections of guide is done if I do not get it done over the weekend it will be done over the next few as have a lot on me plate but getting parts of it done as and when one can.

Also has anyone tried to do the following.


Generated plots and then used a Raspberry Pi with USB controller with external HDDs with filled plots on to mine with. if so what are your results was the Pi upto the challenge of mining and being good at it or was a fail??

We have been discussed about raspberry pi a few days ago, seems like someone tried it and said 8GB is the max (could be the slowliness of USB2.0). BTW, crowetic mentioned that he wanted to setup a raspberry pi, we are waiting on his result

I wonder if one of them bad boys is enough power and juice and resources in it compared to the older Pi that only have 1 core and 512mb ram

I have 10 4TB usb drives attached to 3 computers, and then on top of that, 4 more older USB disks, and something like 10 internal harddisks where i use spare space for plot files.

each harddisk is being mined by its own miner (the original POC java miner), and each computer runs one wallet that all the miners talk to.

Probably not the most effecient setup, but this is what worked for me back in the days, after some tweaking, so i have stayed with it.

Also mine with 3 GPU's from time to time, when i find sometning that is worth mining. You can mine GPU and POC at the same time on the same box, which is neat.

Since I only know the basics of batch file commands, I did a search on Stack Overflow for an alternative method of launching the wallet that will not be affected by the version of Java installed. I found other solutions like scanning the registry for the version of Java and then running from that particular folder, but the solution below was less complicated. 

Using the FOR loop from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/638301/discover-from-a-batch-file-where-is-java-installed, I created the following bat file because I use Java 8 and uninstalled Java 7. It will search for java.exe and set a variable called JAVA_HOME. The command to start the wallet is the same as the original run.bat.  Feel free to test it out or if it does not work, I can post another solution that has worked for me. I added the first IF statement so the FOR loop would not run every time, but that IF may need to be removed if the batch file does not work after a Java update.  If you see something wrong, feel free to make the correction.

Code:

@ECHO off
IF %JAVA_HOME%.==. (
	FOR /f %%j in ("java.exe") DO (
    		SET JAVA_HOME=%%~dp$PATH:j
	)
)

IF EXIST %JAVA_HOME% (
	start "BURST" "%JAVA_HOME%\java.exe" -cp burst.jar;lib\*;conf nxt.Nxt
) ELSE (
    	ECHO Java software not found on your system. Please go to http://java.com/en/ to download a copy of Java.
	PAUSE
)

I posted this a little while back, but it is a universal run.bat file that does not depend on what java version is installed.

Was wondering where that went to as I had that in an old version. Thank you for posting this universal run.bat one. I will be adding this into the guide

[Mergesort]

I have searched for hours for this problem but i just can't start the gpuplotgenerator

generate buffer 0 1 "F:\BURST\Miner\gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x64-4.0.3\plots" 94xx60094xxxx534xx1 0 3960000 2000 64 8000
pause
I always get this ERROR -61 CL_INVALID_BUFFER_SIZE Unable to create the opencl gpu buffer
No matter what size i use it doesn't work ...

Wow, looks promising~~ But what is the power consumption? This is very important because someone here use low-end computer that is cheap and yet expandable (SATA PCI card to more harddisk).
