Anyone have an idea on how to have a card listed on http://cryptocards.ca/  ?

What logo we could use, and how encrypt the passphrase ? It could be a good promotion.

^Do you code in assembler? There is no easy way to implement AT code. There is an easy way to deploy already implemented AT general user cases like my zRMicroArray crowdfunding case, which will most probably stay unfunded.

It would be good to know how to start.
Assembler I did years ago.

Try this page: https://burstforum.com/index.php?threads/burst-media.295/


As long there is no wallet app, that can handle this, the card may  not be so effective.

The mining profit will be splitted to all shareholders according to their shares on that day.

When, and how often will these profits be shared exactly?  Daily? Weekly? Once a certain threshold is reached?

monthly, regardless if it is a just a few BURSTs or thousands.
The exactly date for the previous month is not fixed, but might be within the first week of the following month.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

   "Paths":["C:\\plots"],

I think there is problem or block with Taiwan DNS. I have friends in Taiwan cannot access one of the free hosting in US created last time. You better check with Taiwan ISP.
