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

[mczarnek]

The whole blockchain takes ages to download and takes up a lot of space. Is there any way to skip it? I want to start mining, is it possible somehow?

Blockchain can be downloaded here: http://burstcoin.info/download/

Or here if you want to be decentralized about it, download it via bittorrent:

butstcoin, I mine solo, and today I faced an unpleasant thing in BURST wallet. After I had mined more than 100 blocks, there was “100+” instead of the exact amount of blocks in the wallet. It is very inconvenient for monitoring the statistics. Is it possible to fix it someways?

It looks like it's a pretty simple UI change to fix this issue. I created a pull request which makes this change: https://github.com/BurstProject/burstcoin/pull/16

In the meantime, you can just change "100" to "500" on line 244 and 353 of nrs.blocks.js, and reload the wallet.

Thank you!
But this fix does not work for me.
Maybe need to correct other lines in nrs.blocks.js file?

Strange... the fix I posted does seem to be working for me, with only those 2 lines of code changed. Maybe try clearing the cache on your browser after you've edited the code?

Lovely bitchfest in here as per usual. Keep up the drama guys... That aside

Why does it always seem like when a new wallet version comes out, the block finding on the network always seems to get really wonky until everyone is on the same version. Since 1.2.3 it seems like my profits have went down significantly, the number of blocks I've found has also went down significantly (like 1/4 of what it was). It happened with the upgrade to 1.2.2 as well.

It seems to favor the older wallet as well.

yep. I've experienced same thing several times already.

After the 92000 fork I mined a fuck ton of blocks (still am) I'm guessing while everyone else is updating their wallet that hasn't.

There DEFINITELY is a correlation between wallet version and luck at finding blocks. It seems to favor older wallets. This week was a perfect example of that. Since the release of 1.2.3 I've been mining on a newer wallet, block find drops to nothing (about 25%), new wallet is enforced, everything is back to normal. I'm not sure what's causing this, but it's there and I'm sure other big miners can chime in on this (or keep exploiting it every time wallets update).

I am using Blago's miner and just hopped over to burst.ninja to try after being on the V2 pool for months.  I have been noticing some of my "sent DL's" are not coming back as "confirmed DL's" .  And they are usually the best deadlines that are not coming back confirmed.  Randomly every few blocks this is happening and its not because of a quick block change as there is a fair amount of time after the last sent (minutes sometimes) before the next block begins.

Any thoughts?

I also use Blago in V2, I tried burst.ninja few times, I also had this problem.
V2 continues for now still be more profitable than burst.ninja at least for large miners

Yeah, I've tried a few pools... V2 seems to pay closest to what the calculator says and I'll take that over RNG any day. V2 definitely seems the way to go regardless of size, it's pretty spot on.

Still think there should be a publicly available website/wallet with SSL and all the bells and whistles since all your account is is a password.

And they are definitely both on the same fork?  I could see the each version mining on it's own fork.. so you're not actually getting paid on the 'real' one?  But there are still enough people mining on that same fork to make it look like it's still going?

Pretty sure, otherwise when I end up on the right fork they'd disappear from my mined block history right?

burst.ninja I believe the issue has been resolved, please let me know if you continue to see it. We've made server changes to fix that particular issue.

edit : There are also some code changes we're currently taking a look at to see if that will allow the issue to be even further handled for the future. To make sure we can accommodate new miners when the community inevitably grows much larger. This coin is still new, and we're doing everything we can to make sure we get everything handled, and get all the necessary features and services available to the community.

Byte Enterprises will continue to work hard for the BURST community. Thank you.


Also, We will have a web wallet with all the bells and whistles shortly. Stay tuned.

It's not, can't update a torrent

But if a new one is uploaded every month or two, it works too.

True.. sounds like you've checked.

I wonder if what is going on is that the majority of the network hasn't updated yet and all accounts are favoring the blocks of their own version of over the blocks of a different version?  Even old over new? But maybe still accepting new ones or something?

 When will a block pays like 3-4K?

here's the block reward chart: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=731923.msg10407591#msg10407591

Great, thanks



Can anyone make this pic "shorter"? Less space between the numbers in the right column? Should be doable even in Paint

I give 10K to the one who present the best (or fastest) pic!




EDIT: Ok, 15K up for grabs if you make the table in a size we can publish (and read

Can someone try to download the blockchain torrent and seed it, plz? I'm only on 3G.

http://burstcoin.info/download/

Not sure but I think it should work.

Thank you There are only one tracker on our server and more in thepiratebay, but too tiered to fix it.

Lemme know if you get any prolems.

Not a problem , and it downloaded fine.

[mmmaybe]

Then we have even decentralize the the blockchain through a torrent too.

Keep it alive, plz! Will update it occasionally also.

I would also like to thank our latest donor, Vintgar - Thanks a lot If 100 ppl gave the same sum, we'd be better suited for the challenges ahead. Team page has been updated; now we are starting to get a nice streak again

Thanks for supporting BURST!

I restarted my chrome browser, and everything is working now.

It's hard to believe that the OP and the main Burstcoin website still have a silly image with grammar mistakes.
"with it's" is something that any literate 10 year old laughs about.

If you want to be taken seriously, finish elementary school.

ah ok soo we do notice the rewareds are getting lower if satoshis price of burst do not rise im quiting this 30 cents day coin i got 12 cents watts to pay per day lol ok 5.4 TB to sell in HDD
