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

[xizmax]

How is this an investment, what does the coin do?  It would be great if there was online harddrive space you could use with more coins that you buy or mine.  

What are people going to use this coin for that the other 700 altcoins or BTC or LTC don't offer?

I'm holding a few million BURST and I'm wondering where it's all going.

I should say good-buy. This coin is very promising and a really good investment...

I guess you missed the news. Burst is the first and, currently, the only coin to offer Automated Transactions aka Smart Contracts.

Something we are waiting for 15mil ICO Ethereum project to deliver you can have now by using Burst. All that powered by burstdev, ciyam and vbcs, not ICO $.

If this is not convincing enough for you, feel free to send me your millions. I'll gladly take them

EDIT: Cloud storage is planned for the future, though it will take some time to work it out.
If still willing, send Burst here BURST-K84W-LWVZ-B727-67WUL

I'm up no the news still don't see what this offers long term.  Yeah yeah send me your coins, good one, never heard it before.

Was not trying to be original there, I think it is a legitimate option to hand your stuff away if you're through with something.

While I am familiar with many criticisms of smart contracts, they indeed could pose a major development going long term.

Basically, you could trustlessly do many of the things that require intermediaries and their fees. Such as lawyers for example.

You can start off your reading here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_contract

Because it has done what others say they will do but have been unable to do with Market caps much larger.
Of course I am referring to Automated Transactions and Smart Contracts.

This coin is so undervalued its scary.

I have a question (perhaps for the PR team?). Why burst still not listed in more major exchange like bter and crypsty ? Trade volume have increase over the months. Many scam coins got added to bter and crypsty i wonder why legit coin like burst don't get listed after so many months. Maybe we should set a target to get listed on those exchange and more exchange after that to increase exposure. Remember bitcoin started off with only 1 major exchange (mt gox) and slowly grow with more exchange. If bitcoin were to remain with only 1 exchange (mt gox) it will be in the history book. We need more exchange for burst, especially the bigger one.

Since I have started with BURST I have not gone back to Cryptsy,  even if BURST was listed there, why choose Cryptsy over Poloniex?  Poloniex's interface and deposits are so much smoother. But ya, more exchanges are always good.

And on a side note, what other alt coin offers home mining with standard consumer hardware that doesn't pollute your home with noise and heat.  If a home miner wanted to expand into a semi-large or large scale mining operation he/she could easily do so with items purchased from major retailers and endure not much more than the calming click of hard-drive seek every ~4min.  Why choose a GPU or ASIC coin to mine from home when you can choose BURST.  I'm sure a few data centers may get involved in this coin but what different is that when compared to the large mining farms BTC has.  When the BURST mining software evolves enough to make the setup process smoother, a large community adoption can easily offset any threat data-centers may pose to the BURST network.

Litecoin was once the working-class coin, Silver to BTC Gold, the ASIC industry killed that.  I don't see why BURST will not be in a position to dethrone LTC from that position in 1-2 years and with all of the growth and benefits offered by crypto 2.0 who knows how far this technology will go once it has matured.  This coin is only ~6months old,  I wonder what things will be like this time next year.  No longer will you be tied to the predatory practices of pre-orders or relying on one or two companies to improve mining technology.  As storage technologies naturally improve so will the BURST network.

This is why I have chosen BURST as my mining hobby. And if it all collapses, at least I have some nice storage drives for my home movie collection


GO BURST!!

More exchange = More choice

Different people have different circumstances which leads them to choose different exchange (which explain why all those exchange survive till now even though they are not as good as other). By having more exchange , we allow more choice which in turn allow wide variety of investor. Existing investor will most probably not change to trade at new exchange but new exchange will definitely bring in new investor. Even 1 new investor is good. We never know that 1 new investor could be a giant whale who only trade on cryptsy / bter due to whatever reason. We should take every chance we got to improve burst exposure.

It's up to everyone to do the PR/voing to get listed elsewhere - see OP.

The optimizer is not only for speeding up the reading process, also to optimize how the hdd reading method. Low stagger equals more seeks.
I have some plots with really low stagger like 1000 and the fastest read is about 10MB/s. With stagger between 8000 to 12000 I have usb 3.0 speed of 120 MB/s. I optimized one plot and it eats more ram that unoptimized with the old java miner.

Yeah, I got that it saves on memory usage. It also appears that maybe I wasn't part of the 'you need to optimize generation' because you have a super low stagger. I didn't start mining burst with lower then a 8192 stagger. I may try higher staggers and see where that goes, but right now it seems like the most limiting factor is my CPU. I've never gotten anywhere close to my drives max sequential read speeds or even random read speeds so far. The GPU plotter is actually a good indicator of how fast your drives can randomly read (since writes are pretty close to the same thing). Plotting for me had about 4x as much throughput.


Also I agree, after moving to alt coins I basically have not touched Cryptsy in a really long time and I don't really miss it honestly.

There are some other coins that want to offer online storage like dropbox does. Storj and maidsafe are the ones that i know about. But you have to consider that not one of them have anything running. Only BURST right now lets you farm coins, even though the farming does nothing. The other had a presale and now everyone is wating(also their coins are expensive). Burst really has a chance if it implements online storage first and maybe other services! What makes me really angry is that so many altcoins start with a idea or concept and want funding and backing and start deving afterwards instead of delivering a first product even if it's not perfect. If that's how this works i could start my own coin.

@whoever runs http://burstcoin.eu/

Do you think you could add the ability to sort average block time on a weekly and daily basis? Also please add the ability to break down blocktimes into smaller increments. More tools for analysis, the better.

Solution is simple. Switch to Windows OS

Some people dumped 6.7mln coins(11 BTC worth)  on polo to lower the price to buy more and more cheaper...

Well, Burst is not based on bitcoin rather on Nxt. I believe nxt uses jetty which in turn uses Java Secure Sockets extension which is not related to OpenSSL. So I'd say unless you are on *nix and have specifically used OpenSSL, for example to access API via https you should be ok (is this even needed/possible for Burst?).

If this is the case, I'd surmise the number of affected people should be pretty small and the rest of the network would just reject their blocks without causing major issues.

For final confirmation please wait for someone better versed in all this than me .

Be wary of Bob Surplus and Ryan Pumper. They have their little gangs to pump and dump. There are many others too. The economy has to be such that an 11 BTC pump or dump has little to no effect on price. 30% drop smacks of manipulation.

I think it is quite obvious some people have been messing with Burst the past few days. I have made some nice trades in the meantime riding the waves. I guess it is just a question whether you're long on Burst

If some early adopters liquidated parts (or entirety) of their assets (and I do know some have), I sure do hope it got distributed to more people than just p&d groups

I have sold some and bought more. It is good to keep the economy of the coin active on the exchanges (for now). This smacks of a P & D though.
