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

[Elmit]

you will get corrupted, not mineable files

That what I was expecting!

[Elmit]

Oh, btw - Elmit has refused to answer some key questions about his Petabyte asset
a) How big is his plot ?
b) How many shares of the asset has he sold?
c) Can he proof [sic] he actually has this petabyte of drives?

Is anyone able to verify his claims ?

Thanks.

I answer exactly as you always do:

Look at the blockchain.

There you can find how much PetaByte was sold.
There you also you can find how much hard disk space this equals to. And that much space I have (plus/minus fractions of harddisk) I could not get 0.0001 TB hard disks ;-)
According to your hint, calc.exe can give you all the answers!

WE do PAYOUT, ... even that you can see in the blockchain. You are so much smarter than me, so it is easy to find out. If not, ask the Phisher team.

its really good to see finally come HDD Mining...

[Jamil.Kamil]

Technology inventing always new. HDD fantastic for us new mining....

its really good to see finally come HDD Mining...

I wonder if there is /will be another HDD mining clone

not until now.

maidsafe and storj are comming. but they are not native hdd mining systems.....

[equipoise]

^Didn't someone said in this thread he'll make a Cryptonote with PoC mining?

Edit: Someone have a link? I can't find it now.

Is the insane high memory usage (leak) in win 7 fixed yet? (latest blago miner)

[bobafett]

it is.

they can clone the coin but they can't clone the developer. What make burst an awesome coin is the developer who make things possible

[tex81]

I have a question about Flow chart of the process. Why plot chunk (scoop) is 32-bytes in size? Isn`t it 64?

[Elmit]

I look at http://burstcoin.eu/pools

When I follow the link to the pool, I see other numbers of "Active Miner"

E.g., for burst.ninja it shows 93, but on their web site it says 272 "Miners"
for cryptomining.farm it shows 266, but on their web site it says 1237 "Total Miners"
for mininghere.com it shows 39 and on their web site it says 39 "Total Miners"

How are these numbers calculated?

[tex81]

Maybe big number is total number of reward recipients (with dead accounts)?

[haitch]

HardInvest Pays, PetaByte pays - people buying a 1TB harddisk instead of 1 Petabyte Asset would get a better ROI. BTW - How big is your plot now ?

And like I said, I admire Tiga's and Crow's tolerance of you - I'm about to lose mine.

Calc.exe calculates numbers that a teacher of Burstcoin would be aware of.
cmd.exe does file manipulation and concatenation amongst other miraculous things.
As for my Teacher, they would admit that I correctly and accurately answered the questions asked.
Any reasonable person basically aware with Burstcoin mining and the use of computers would agree that a self proclaimed expert in/teacher of, burstcoin should not need to ask those questions.

Did you actually read the question? Did you understand the question?

Yes, perfectly.

So how do you distinguish WHICH nonce is in the file? I cannot find a way to do that with a calculator. TEACH me how to do that!!!

No.

How can I combine two plotfiles? calc nor cmd would tell me. TEACH me how to do that!!!

Using DOS commands. No.

So, do you know the answers, yes or no, can you reveal them here please?

Yes. No.

The answer is clear: YOU DO NOT KNOW IT!!!!

Yeah, I painted myself into that corner didn't I - to prove you wrong I have to answer the questions I'd answer for anyone except you.

Fine.

Question A:

A nonce = 262144 bytes. Number of nonces in a file = <file size> / 262144 => Rename file to: <user_id>_<start_nonce>_<Filesize / 262144>_ <stagger>


Question B.

FileA and FileB must be contiguous and have the same stagger, and then:

Copy /b fileA+fileB FileC
del FileA
del FileB
ren FileC <user_id>_<start_nonce_from_FileA>_<nonces_in_FileA+nonces_in_FileB>_<stagger>

you will get corrupted, not mineable files

Nope - concatenating two valid, contiguous plots with the same stagger size results in a perfectly good plot file.

I'm unable to get Blago's 1.150319 miner to run on my server (running 2008R2). When I launch it I get "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application". Any ideas on where to start looking? Version 1.141229 works fine. Any help would be appreciated & rewarded.

Edit: Thanks Blago for getting me fixed!

Active Miner = Miner that receive a payout for this day
Total Miner = All accounts that have reward assignment to pool address (including inactive miners)

ah yes, it's not staggering, but what the point of doing that? Reading time/requests will be similar

i think he meant staggering, not just joining two files in bigger one

Q: Is the insane high memory usage (leak) in win 7 fixed yet? (latest blago miner)

A: it is.

It is fixed which means it doesn't use any ram anymore? or is it still quite high??

So mining burst in win 7 needs the same resources as in win 8.1?

miner cleans memory after processing

Yes

How are these numbers calculated?

Active Miner = Miner that receive a payout for this day
Total Miner = All accounts that have reward assignment to pool address (including inactive miners)

Also, the way that burstcoin.eu calculates things is basically based off how many miners consistently submit shares to the pool (from what I have read)

So, what this means is... the calculations on burstcoin.eu will not be accurate as far as how many miners are actually mining on the pool. It will only show the number of consistently submitting miners. (big miners)

The number shown on the pools themselves, is the number actually having their reward assignment placed to the pool's wallet.
