How to install burst Wallet & miner on a Synology NAS

Log as admin into DSM through you web browser
Go to package center and install Java Manager

Once installed, Java isn't installed yet, open the application and follow the instruction to install it.
To resume:
Go to the java SE Download Page, accept the license and download the Linux x86 version (must be jdk-7u75-linux-i586.tar.gz at time writing this tutorial)
When your download is finished, select the file in java manager and click OK. After few seconds Java will be installed.

Next, Go to Control Panel, Shared folder and create a new folder say "BurstCoin". It will hold your burstcoin wallet/miner/plotter and plot.
Give read/write access to your user.

Then go to Control Panel, Terminal & SNMP and activate Enable SSH service. Write down the port number.

You can now close DSM.

Mount this newly created Folder into your computer with your user rights.

Download the latest burst Wallet (go to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=731923.0 and click "Download Wallet")
Extract it in your Burst Folder.
Download the linux miner (go to http://burstcoin.eu/downloads and click "Uray Burst Miner (Linux x64)")
Extract it in your Burst folder.

I highly recommend to plot your nas with a computer instead of your nas itself as your computer have much more ram. To do that, I recommend linking your nas in Gigabit Ethernet to your Computer. I personally plotted 8,5TB in about a week with a CPU plotter as Gpu crashed every time.

When everything is extracted your folder should be like this:
\\Diskstation\Burstcoin\burst_1.2.2 the wallet
\\Diskstation\Burstcoin\burst-miner-r4 the miner
\\Diskstation\Burstcoin\plots all your plots files

Time to configure everything:
Wallet configuration:
Edit the burst_1.2.2\conf\nxt-default.properties and edit the following lines:

Code:

nxt.myAddress=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx add your personal extern ip address
nxt.myPlatform=Synology

nxt.allowedBotHosts=*
nxt.apiServerHost=0.0.0.0

Now under burst_1.2.2 folder edit the run.sh file like that :

Code:

#!/bin/bash
cd /volume1/BurstCoin/burst_1.2.2
nohup /volume1/@appstore/JavaManager/Java/jre/bin/java -cp burst.jar:lib/*:conf nxt.Nxt > output_$(date +"%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S").log 2>&1 &

This command let start the wallet and export result into the file output.log containing date in the wallet folder.
Assuming volume1 the name of volume you are using for your storage (will see that later).


Miner configuration:

Code:

edit the burst-miner-r4\mining.conf
Edit plots path like
[
	"/volume1/BurstCoin/plots"
]

Also configure poolurl as you want.

Now under the burst-miner-r4 folder create a run.sh file with this content:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
cd /volume1/BurstCoin/burst-miner-r4
nohup ./burstminer > output_$(date +"%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S").log 2>&1 &

Same as the wallet, miner result will be stored in an output.log containing start date in miner folder.

Configuration of wallet and miner are now over, let configure your Synology to start it automatically on startup.

Connect to your Synology over SSH with Putty if you are on windows or in console if under Linux
Login as root & use your admin password

First check your name volume: type

Code:

find / -name "java"

You will have some result, your Volume name is the first folder in path.
Modify previous run.sh and miner configuration file with this name.

Create or edit the file /etc/rc.local   this file is read at startup of your NAS every time.

Code:

vi /etc/rc.local

Write the following line in it:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

# Wait a while this will permit you to update wallet or miner on startup before files get locked
sleep 60

#Start Wallet
sh /volume1/BurstCoin/burst_1.2.2/run.sh
#Start Miner
sh /volume1/BurstCoin/burst-miner-r4/run.sh

Everything is now up. Reboot your Synology.

To help network you should route Port 8123 in your NAT.

However you should NOT route port 8125, your wallet is still accessible from lan only
Do NOT route ssh port, You should disable it on DSM if you don't use it.
You can access your wallet with http://SynologyIP:8125
Check miner stats on pool or in the log created.


Edit : I can't post this Thread on official Burstcoin forum as I can't Post link... if someone can copy it, thanks

This is excellent work!  Thank You for the tutorial...

I have a DS412+ that I have been using to mine Burst from nearly the introduction month.  I went the much easier (and lazier) route to just map my Burst Plot folder on my DS412+ as a network drive letter (Y:) in windows and use that drive letter as a nonce destination in Blago's miner.  I never have had any true issues other than the fact that the Synology path is a fair bit slower to run through the nonces than my direct wired drives or my USB3 external drives.  I am on a direct wired CAT6 line to my Synology Box and still its slower, but gets done in about 90 seconds or so compared to 30 seconds on my other nonce drives.


But thank you again.  When I have time I may try and redo my Synology with these instructions to see if I gain some nonce search speed......

[kurairaito]

Well my synology is Gigabit linked to NAT but after i'm only over wifi n and it is very slow to read everything (have 8,5Tb plot).

And, best part is when my computer is turned off, my synology continue mining alone. A way lower energy use !

if we had a non-java version of wallet then we could have more embedding into other miners.  so you could have a bitcoin miner with a HDD attached via USB interface that is also mining burst at the same time.  power and network connection can be shared.  but java ain't gonna run on most of the embedded hardware miners use. although mining against a burst pool doesn't require java (wallet) to be installed on a device.

the tricky part is to attach the hdd to the controller.
therefore you can simply buy one raspberry pi 2 and the performane of the quadcore with 1 gb ram should be enough to mine over usb with 2 hdd and 16tb for about 700$ in total. this setup should read all plots within 200 seconds from both drives.

Wallet configuration:
Edit the burst_1.2.2\conf\nxt-default.properties and edit the following lines:

Code:

nxt.myAddress=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx add your personal extern ip address
nxt.myPlatform=Synology

nxt.allowedBotHosts=*

To avoid doing that with each wallet upgrade, keep your original nxt-default.properties of the new wallet and add a file nxt.properties with all changes you want to make.

mixing up mining architectures i wont do.

it's not "mixing" it's piggybacking to maximize utilization of existing infrastructure.  If I have a bitcoin miner running on a cubie board for example, attaching a drive to an existing power and network connection is marginal (only the cost of the drive).  ultimately this would expand burst mining in turn making it more popular etc.  it may be not very clear today as far as the benefit, but I do see combinations when it comes to mining simply due to shared infrastructure

Help needed.

So I want my 2nd machine to connect to my first machine.

Ip of 1st machine is 192.168.0.3 and have the following configuration. yet am not getting any connection yet was working fine in the past. Any idea what I need to change. Think ports incorrect or am doing something wrong

{
   "Mode" : "pool",

   "Server" : "192.168.0.3",
   "Port": 8125,

   "UpdaterAddr" : "192.168.0.3",
   "UpdaterPort": 8125,

   "EnableProxy": true,
   "ProxyPort": 8126,

   "Paths":["C:\\plots"],

Try XMR. Very low power use on NVIDIA. I mine both 24/7.

F.A.O Blago

Seems to be that you have a problem on new miner.


As I am using on 2 systems with 2 different versions old on main system new on 2nd system. Works



Yet when I come to try using new more up to date version of miner on both systems I get the following


I have the same configuration file yet when using the new version on both systems it does not want to work. ? Any idea on how to resolve and fix??

I think its about time we use our own FCKN FORUM   this is getting stupid now,   Useful infomation is soo hard to find here.....

for example My wallet will not sync,  Blockchain has been stuck downloading for 2 weeks   ever since i upgraded  :/   cant find the post i need to fix this!


WHY WHY WHY DO WE CHOSE TO NAVIGATE almost 1000 Pages under 1 thread for basic information!

Working on a guide my self and ull find among OP page ull see a lot of links and also section to this coin and help guides. Might want to try opening your eyes and looking first to find solutions to problems. Sync problems been fixed many times download blockchain files add in let it import and scan job done.
