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

[coinits]

what goes down will come up, it's a cycle.

definitely not always the case with altcoins especially

True but you can expect it with this one, as you can with most successful coins. Sooner or later Ryan Pumper or Bob Surplus or another of those pump groups are going to pump this coin. The lower the cap the easier for them to pump. Not much we can do about it other than ride the wave and sell some for good profit and then go back to accumulating after they dump. We can hope that the increased exposure in the market place will bring in more miners and more investors. It helps grow the BURST economy long term. Just do not buy high and you should be good.

could someone create a tool (webpage) perhaps on one of the existing sites that displays the best current deadline of each known pool when the round is ongoing?

I agree, in fact this is something we're going to be adding to the stats on burst.ninja as soon as we can. We have a lot we're doing though.

ahh finally been waiting for this.

How do a news spread? Well, if you Apple it's easy - you just announce a press conference and 800 reporters show up. For smaller businesses it's much harder, where you basically have to identify the agent whom can spread the news you have and hope for them to pick it up and the customers.

For the first press releases, Burst chose the latter with quite good results. However, doing it manually is terribly time-consuming and wont cover the whole relevant area.

There is a third alternative:
Companies specializing in distributing and getting PR published. We have used one such service with amazing results. We're featured at both Yahoo finance, Bloomberg and a number of key media sites for crypto. They were way better than us.

Of course these companies charge for their services, either in dollars or in established crypto currencies. The price for Bitcoin PR Buzz' service that we used last time is $429, but they also have a premium service for $779.

We could do this as a standard CF case but that would require that we dump the Bursts for BTC. So another way to do this is do it as a standard BTC donation case; we provide a BTC address to collect the money from the.

Here is the site: http://bitcoinprbuzz.com/services/

I promise to provide $50/0.2 in BTC to get things started. If you want an escrow or someone else in charge of the fund, we'll be happy to go with that.

For now the address is: 1AxtsE2ciNmY8Y9Rt9UBude6i1iW176oQB


What do you think? Can we count for you support...? If we could do this in a week or so it would be great, as we then would have the means to act when dev news hit us. If you donate, PM me the tx, nick and sum (we are planning a Hall of Contributers/Fame for community members supporting development!)


***EDIT: 0,227BTC ($65) donated by mmmaybe. https://blockchain.info/sv/tx/fa9f80a46e328e20e8653d7f21da83cadc0e29bf6c331dbb6a6b2706cbf0b074

https://blockchain.info/sv/address/1AxtsE2ciNmY8Y9Rt9UBude6i1iW176oQB

Just sent you 0.198 BTC for PR https://blockchain.info/tx/6882b7b20ac4896c01e53796d32ca0c9c218f95de020cd2c4ce34eb8017a7cee

I´m very exited about the upcomming update for burst and the new features....

Thank you, boba! I confirm your btc has arrived.

Who is the third contributer besides me and boba...? Total amount is now 0,679 BTC/$200 with the anonymous donor, about half of what we need.


Should we interpret this as several thousand holders do not think spreading a press release is important...?

Nice.. though they didn't get it quite right.  The article makes it look like the hard drive space is being used to store files..  I mean I guess that is the eventual plan.  I just don't see it as a priority in my mind or the thing that makes us special.

I like to share a slightly modified miner for Haswell/AVX2:

https://bchain.info/avx2_miner.tbz

Linux/tested for solo mining only. About 5 times faster.

You only need this if you have lots of TB in one machine. It will only increase your mining speed if it´s limited by your CPU!

I'd like the PR team to remove my name and just say CIYAM Developers in the next release (but it was pleasing to see the terms Automated Transactions and CIYAM appearing so thanks very much for that).

Do you mean your personal name? I'm sure the guys found your wish hard to grasp when your BTT presentation says "Ian Knowles - CIYAM Lead Developer".

Yes - I mean my personal name (i.e. I don't need my ego to be stroked).

Maaaaannnnn "Bob" has stolen nearly 100,000 BURST from my mining wallet. 

His address: BURST-DS6V-VWPT-L2BT-344NL

I was JUST the other day going to empty it.  Wonder how he got in?  I haven't used that computer for anything else, ever.  Just sits idle.  Jerk.

Sorry to hear. How complex was your password?

Not at all - that part's my fault.  I had been emptying it every couple days but for the last few months I've just mostly forgotten about it.

I suppose he probably is just brute-force guessing passwords.

[LVB]

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.

I confirm receipt of payment from Petabyte.

Did you use your own password or one suggested by the Burst wallet.. I don't buy brute force if you used a suggested password.

Nice work, thanks!

But damn ... one week too late for me, just bought a FX-8320E cause of CPU limitation ... should have choosen a CPU with AVX2 :-(

Think i have to hope/wait for PoC2 ... or is there any miner with GPU support in development/available?!

[Tommo_Aus]

Could the TomPool link in the OP please be updated to http://mining.tompool.org:82 ? I had to change the link several months ago due to some DDoS attacks.

awesome! much appreciated.
