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

[Mergesort]

WHY ARE WE NOT FUNDING THIS?! GUIs for simpler use of this coin are needed! Make it a Full-package Plotter + miner and you might get more users! I don't get why you guys play around with lottery while this is not done yet?! There is competition out there with millions of funding you can't keep this a community project forever! You are supposed to develope a decentralized online storage solution, mining useless files(files without any purpose) on your HDD doesn't make sense!

I agreed that we should concentrate on GUI design, or maybe have some bounties for GUI work.

But your statement of "mining useless files(files without any purpose) on your HDD doesn't make sense" is not true, it just similar statement to BitCoin that "mining to waste CPU power to calculate useless hash doesn't make sense". I doubt you might not understand the reason of plot file usage yet.

I am happy to hear the reason for the usage. Just remember it must be something of use for the rest of the world. You just have to put yourself into somebodys position that has absolutely no knowlege about setting up bat files to run certain miner plotter etc. Why would somebody want to look at cmd windows that throw information at you that you don't understand? People want simplicity and ease of use. If we take decentralized storage as a example then it needs to be as easy as dropbox. Install, drag and drop your files. No big fucking set up, with cmd windows all over the place, people don't want that and if you want burst to see the rest of the world you need simplicity. Don't wait for the community to do your work, at least start contests and competitions for things you can't do yourself. Don't get me wrong. I am not hating or trolling. But sometimes there are smart people that are great at certain things, but don't get the rest of the world. It's like standing next to someone and looking at that person with all the potential, but the person is just standing there wondering what to do. It's frustrating as hell!

Recap of open questions:

1. How to get a node in Burst running?
2. Why no projects are any more shown in ATcrowdfunding.html?
3. When the Donation button will we included in ATcrowdfunding.html?
4. Who are the developer of Burst?


Wow.

1. How can you run a pool but not a node....?

I did not see, but please guide me to, how can you see pool = node


2. Well nothing has changed, ni html or burst wallet update, must be your side, try restarting your wallet(such an obvious step to take)

I did restart the wallet and that helped. Thank you so much for mention that as obvious step. I am not using Windows, so that step is not so obvious for me, ... hehehehe


3. Don't get what ur asking

Can not decipher your encrypted answer ;-)


4. @burstcoin

Is that a Twitter handle? or to what are you referencing to?


Leave mmmaybe alone, he is far more knowledgeable then you.

Looking at the answers I read recently, I cannot disagree more with you.

[Elmit]

In regards to adding a Donation button to the UI (prior to 100% funding goal reached) - unless we have that as being a general idea for all ATs (i.e. to "donate" to their creators) then it should not be done for an already published ATs (as you can't "update" an AT) - it could only thus appear in a future crowdfund.

The entire point of "consensus" is that you can't just go and change it (otherwise people would not trust ATs at all).

As we are working on a complete new design for AT UI (that will get rid of the need to download .html files) the AT team is not going to focus on such "small issues" for now (feel free to bring them up again when our new UI implementation appears).

I will add this to the guide!

During developing I always listened to requests. Of course not to install it immediately, but to value it if it is worth in the future. If you know what might be necessary in the future, you might subconsciously add hooks before you need them, or you find from these ideas something inspiring for another thing.

Keep up your work. I hope we can see more from your team soon.

I changed pool and the payment is wayyyyy higher, why was payment so low on burst.ga?

It is a clear case of LUCK

[lagur]

If you will run 4x 3TB drives, what's the cheapest cpu would you suggest? -- I'm asking these because my ATOM 4GB (max) wasn't able to catch up (130sec+) before new block comes in, and my i7 x79 is a bit overkill for 24/7.

Athlon X4? Core2Duo / Pentium 2core?

Thanks

I have an older core2duo e6600 with 4gb ram running 2 x 4.5Tb usb drives but it takes
120+ seconds to scan them. I have a similar setup with amd apu a4-4000 and that takes
a about 180+ seconds.

I think a budget Intel Pentium G3258 3.2Ghz would be good, my next miner will have that cpu

Wow thanks for the inputs... interesting results.

Thanks lagur and riskyfire for sharing the results. This is very important that I think raspberry pi B+ (that we wanted to try) should not work great.

A budget PC will be the only option for burst mining machine.

Kindly contribute your mining info to the spreadsheet

Feel free to suggest as well.

I don't see why a donation address is necessary.

We had a sheet before....look to the beginning of the thread...wait, i search

EDIT: Here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uaXMLjLt90Ms1oRjcjz-eYPOkARtNS8JdrKFKOJdg4o/edit#gid=0

No problem.

[Elmit]

Remember that the funds arent release until the stated block. Would you still want to pledge some money, it will be possible untill we reach that block. So more than 100% is possible (see the test AT)

That's a shame that it will take so long to release the funds. It seems like it should be possible to code up an AT so that the funds are released as soon as the target funding level is reached.

The idea was to change it to a donation button at that point. However, I could not see that at all.
Both together would be ideal: payout as soon as the target is reached AND change to donation button.

Hello,

I just made a simple GUI to generate Batch file for cpu plotter.

Is someone can tell me how share a picture and deploy source code please ?

If you can't share a picture, I don't think many people will trust "a simple GUI" made by you.
Alas, there are many gullible people around, so... good luck.

Well, I think the issue might be also in the fact that newbies aren't permitted to post links

kurairaito, did you put your code on github or somewhere?

I posted source at https://github.com/Kurairaito/batch_plot_generator
There is also a png in the repo wich illustrate the gui.

You an create such AT by yourself and send the result to the developers there. I am sure they would like it.

1. How to get a node in Burst running?
http://wiki.nxtcrypto.org/wiki/How-To:CreatePublicNode - Works fine for me, you have been asking this question for about a month, what exactly is your definition of a node?

2. Why no projects are any more shown in ATcrowdfunding.html?
Works fine on my end and others, sounds like something is wrong on your end.

3. When the Donation button will we included in ATcrowdfunding.html?
Seems like nothing but feature bloat to me.  Just use the actual method.

4. Who are the developer of Burst?
BurstDev.

1. I followed exactly that instructions.
Since you got it to run:
What wallet version did you use?
Did you create a hallmark? For me this step did not work, but maybe with an older version of wallet it would.

2. restart of burst helped

3. I finished now one case and will make a document soon

4. BurstDev? ist that a Bitcoin Forum user?
Maybe I rephrase this problem. Average Joe maybe not be able to answer some questions. MMaybe if he says something, I can safely ignore it. However, if somebody apparently with knowledge (developer) would answer, I can trust it would work ;-)

The way I read the definition of "Hallmark" it only applies to the NXT code.  A hallmark verifies that a specific node belongs to a specific account. "If you are operating a public NXT node and have a non-trivial balance then hallmarking is strongly recommended"  NXT is a POS coin and NSC aka NXT security coins are distributed to NXT Hallmarked-Nodes. (https://nxtforum.org/assets-board/%28ann%29-nsc-nxt-security-coin/).  Hallmarking a NXT node allows more traffic to be processed through it (https://nxtforum.org/general/why-should-i-hallmark-my-node/?PHPSESSID=0tqdvh6uu0ql16rfikvp86kea6).  

None of this Hallmarking information appears to apply to a BUST NODE.  A BURST node could care less what accounts are associated with it, your job as a node is to relay block information to other wallets.  Just like in any other POW coin, a "node" is just a database interface "wallet" that has a very high uptime, close to 100%, has a high bandwidth, and can accept a high amount of connected peers.  You can adjust your peer count within the burst config file, and you can make sure your "node" is reachable by others by setting your external IP within the config file.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish with this NXT hallmark reference that your current "node" is not doing?

Your questions confuse me, I may be an average Joe, but my Google-Foo is at a decent level.

I understood that a Hallmark is necessary to operate a TRUSTED node, while a "peer" does not need to be. I thought that with the Hallmark a trust level is achieved.
By following the NXT description how to setup the node to fill in the Hallmark came up and it is in the conf file of BURST as well.

BTW, I also did not find the Burst equivalent of:
//Get public node from nxtpeers.com
$getServer = file_get_contents('http://nxtpeers.com/api/index.php');

Something like that must be exist, otherwise how would the wallet find other peers, except the hard coded ones in the config file?

Hey Guys,

Do me a favor, please consider retweeting my latest tweet here : https://twitter.com/Hect0rius/status/567147019022925824

Im trying to get kim dotcom on board and use burstcoin as a alternative payment on mega.co.nz.

I think enough and he may see the potential burst has to offer, so tweet away to him

Thanks, have a good night all

[richiela]

Could dev team or someone in the community let us know before an update like this in the future?  Would help reduce disruption on our end...

thanks

Would be nice to see mega support burst coin but the million $ question is that is mega going to follow the same BS that happened when it use to be mega upload in the past. Lost a lot of documents though what happened in the past but lucky I had back ups and didnt lose anything as was stored on another cloud too. Problem is mega got into trouble last time and no doubt if things not done correct this time will end up following same problems as before getting closed down.

[q327K091]

right... maybe not a best avenue of approach thanks for this eloquent analysis we want to keep crypto extremely clean, i am serious

simplest would be to have BURST to be injected to global payment systems just like a crypto currency would be just because it uses storage does not mean companies selling storage would get preferential treatment, storage as an algorithm and low cost of mining in terms of energy expenditures ... let me think how I will support this coin really... but thanks again for the above...

A GUI is discussed rather intensively with several members.

It's very important to get info if devs need to fork or similar

So I sent someone my log files, but removed my secret which I assume was only in one form and not split up, does anyone know if there is anyway for someone to mess around with your miner or wallet just having the logs?

This happened on Friday and since then my mining has went down to nothing (yesterday I found no blocks, compared to last week I was finding a few blocks per day). I thought maybe the block chain was having issues, but this coincides nicely with when I sent them my logs.

I really don't want to replot everything, but I will if needed. There haven't been any rogue transactions in my wallet. Is there anyway to check what the rewardassignment is currently set to or if blocks have been going to a different address? I checked the page, but it doesn't have any information besides blanks (it'd actually be nice if this had a real spot in the wallet instead of a URL).

About LuckyAT

We have discussed changes and new forms of LuckyAT today. As you know, work is being done to make it much easier to use (and create) ATs (read: no more .html downloads). That also means the platform can offer much more.

Two points were raised regarding possibly changing LuckyAT:


1. To have much faster payout system. Today the winner gets she's/he's money about a week after the current LuckyAT. But this can be changed into faster payouts, like every 3rd day or even daily. A certain delay most exist so people have the time to buys their tickets though.

Which payout system would you prefer, fast, slow, or perhaps both?



2. To have different levels of price of tickets. Some people have few BURST, while some are whales. As changing the time for payout, it is also possible to create variances in ticket price.

How much should a ticket cost, according to you, to suit both regular gamblers, whales and the minor holders: 50 - 2,000 - 50,000, or something else?



We want to hear what you thing about this to suit as many as possible

Creating different prices for tickets and payout time, of course also means there will be more than one lottery running, so they have to be clearly marked and named.

An earlier comment of about not only showing remaining blocks, but an estimate of time until the draw will also be implemented - even if an exact number is hard to predict.

Please discuss this here, but we will also make threads at BurstForum.com, where you will be able to vote.
