How much a Burst-rig?

You do not want competition?

67 TB = 31 BTC
0.53759940 BTC/Month BURST @157

Revenue in 57,5  months.

Good luck.

You're assuming that burst stays at the same price.. I really think that once a few key projects are finished.. Burst > $0.01

At which point, granted there will be more miners but it'll quickly pay for itself.

Like playing the lottery... Fact is Burst doesn't have volume right now and it doesn't seem to be growing (besides network hash rate, which isn't a good thing). The only reason the price is at what it is is because miners are all holding hands and not selling. That is pretty impressive in a crypto by virtue alone, but doesn't mean the price will rise.

There are prospects of price boom, but no evidence.

The cost to mine only the equipment, because mining is efficient, without wasting energy.
Maybe can reach 500
The community seems excited, this topic has surpassed 1,000 pages

I have been writing a very in depth analysis of Proof of Capacity.. and you have to trust me.. but $0.01 is very reasonable when you really look closely at the advantages of POC vs POW and POS.  It's going to be a little bit until it's actually ready to publish.  Partially because I want to make sure it's very ready to present to the outside world and partially because I want to wait until I have time to sink some more money into Burst out of my next pay check or two.

Speaking of which.. donating to the wallet in my sig will help me reach the goal I'm trying to hit before I release this paper.. hint hint

Ok guys,

I learned how to do all of this on a very underpowered PC, now I'm going to need to purchase some serious hardware. How does this sound:

64GB DDR4 RAM
58TB storage space
Intel I-7 8 core 3.0 Ghz

I'd be using the CPU miner.

What type of rate should I expect with those specs?

new version Burst-miner v1.150401
https://github.com/Blagodarenko/miner-burst/releases/download/v1.150401/miner-burst-1.150401.zip

- MaxThreads (Paths) = 48 Unlimited
- MaxAccounts =100 Unlimited
- MaxFiles per directory =1000 Unlimited (limited by OS)
- parameter "SkipBadPlots" did not used

* fixed some bugs.
* for merged(optimized) plots miner read by 64*CacheSize bytes. For unmerged plots - by 64*stagger bytes.
* optimized the code.
+ in debug-mode added % of used CPU by processing.
+ added processing of bad (not finished) plots. Miner reads correct part of plots.

+ Added an option to enable high threads priority and sets each thread to unused (free) core CPU's.
   "UseBoost" : true,
   (by default - false)

for me, speed increased to 13% (used CacheSize=4000)

! not tested for solo & Dev's pools

EDIT: fixed issue (password for solo-mode), tested.

New version causes one of my miners to stall with debug messages. It happens every 1-2 days.

Actually, BURST is very different~~ There is no such CPU or GPU miner...

This is happening on all my machines. The smaller miners just take longer before this happens.

I think he meant the CPU plotter.

soon block reward redux again... checking exchanges for possible purchase but has to be at least 1 million > in volume

ok seeing ~300K @ 170 ... will wait a little so it goes less, last lot like that sold @140 ... 30 sat is a difference long term it will matter +/- 50,000 BURST

looks good, but why not get a better GPU and plot with that? Maybe a slightly lesser CPU and better GPU? Go AMD and lessen the price of the CPU, still get 8 cores and get a 270X to plot with. IMO.

Right, sorry. Plotter is what I meant.

Hah, I should just drain all my money and purchase a Sony PetaSite  

But yeah, I'm still a little curious as to what is better.  Do I go for a monster CPU or a monster GPU (or both)?  The only thing this setup would be used for is Burstcoin.  

Also, off topic, but is it more worthwhile to get into Burstcoin mining or Bitcoin mining?  I have seen hardware out there for Bitcoin mining that seems to be equivalent in price to a Burstcoin setup.  

[q327K091]

what is Sony PetaSite ? how interesting, never heard of... some gigantic disk ?  

I better hurry up mining ...

I don't think you have anything to worry about.  They start at around $55,000.

After you end with plotting you don't need GPU for mine so faster CPU is better for sure. You wont need 64GB ram for mining but for plotting going to be good.  With Core i7-5960X i think your limiting on plotting speed is going to be HDD speed for write not CPU vs GPU so maybe you can group HDD in few raids 0 for better overall transfer speed.

TBH pc you plan to buy for burst is way to good

[FakeAccount]

.....You wont need 64GB ram for mining but for plotting going to be good.  ....

that depends on the OS and number of simultaneous threads doing the reads.  on win7 for ex, 64GB can handle 10 concurrent threads that handle 20 drives.

I thought on win 7 the the ram usage is ZERO now like in win 8.1?

[Kartojal]

for plotting if you dont have a good cpu better buy a 750 ti, plot, then sell it!  

PS: and...  Sony PetaSite it's for big backup purposes guys!  That only have like 15-30MB/s transfer rate, it's like video tapes, very low speed for Burst mining.

Hi
Is there another HDD mining coin similar BURST?

Nope, not yet

[pinballdude]

Holy cow, BURST was voted second in this competition, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1000833.0 voted ahead of really big coins like ripple. Burst is poular and has widespread acceptance, we'll mob the floor with most other much higher marketcap altcoins.

With this kind of end user support, burst marketing department might consider doing a campaign for voting burst into some more exchanges - that might allow more traders to be able to trade burst.

Nope, not yet

HDD mining is a business where the first-mover coin has a giant advantage, as plotting is power and time expensive, so for a miner to move to some other coin, it would take a much higher ROI on the other coin than on burst.

So i think developers are having second thoughts launching new HDD mining coins cause they know burst have this very big first mover advantage. Much more profitable just to buy a pile of burst, then spend time improving it.
