Not sure if you guys remember when I mentioned not finding many blocks while solo vs pool mining. There is still something weird about solo mining. I've been mining on pools and mining solo off and on. Whenever I go solo, the amount of blocks I find is about 50-60% of what I'm supposed to. I'm not talking about what the pool pays me, rather the amount of blocks I find while on the pool. This isn't just luck, I've been mining for quite some time and have quite a few data points built up.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but mining solo decreases the number of blocks I find quite a bit. I'm not sure why or how.

Without knowing all the details in this case, I'd offer a basic roadmap instead of an ETAs, due to ACCT's importance. However, they still can prove us wrong: If I had all the details, I might very well had done what Ian did.

Unfortunately just as the AT code for Qora was ready to be merged (on April 30th) a bug was found.

So although calling it by the end of April was arguably a "tough ask" it had looked possible (and I'd also hoped that putting out such an ETA might provide a bit of extra incentive). Anyway most importantly the bug has now been squashed and the work to get Qora with AT rolled out the door is underway (I am not going to try and rush that as quality code is far more important than a precise ETA).

I won't call the date this time - but I am extremely confident that it will be days rather than weeks, and even if we end up being a week or two late, compared to Ethereum we are extremely punctual.

I've been mining on pools and mining solo off and on. Whenever I go solo, the amount of blocks I find is about 50-60% of what I'm supposed to. I'm not talking about what the pool pays me, rather the amount of blocks I find while on the pool. This isn't just luck, I've been mining for quite some time and have quite a few data points built up.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but mining solo decreases the number of blocks I find quite a bit. I'm not sure why or how.

when you are soloing, you are running the wallet yourself.

i think, when you are pool mining, the wallet is running on the pool server.

the big difference here is if your clock is off 10 or 20 or 30 seconds.  That will loose you a lot of blocks.

check your computer clock to the second, if it is more than a few seconds off, install "NetTime" or a similar product, and have it update your clock often enough that you never get a time off more than a second or two.

both windows 7 and windows 10 have built in internet synchronization, but they sync too infrequently, and are pretty bad at handling congestion and servers that are down, to be of any use for keeping the time within needed bounds for burst mining.


Some pools favor certain total plot sizes. If you are mining at a pool that favors close to what total plot size you have, you might end up getting more burst than you would solo mining.

Not sure if you guys remember when I mentioned not finding many blocks while solo vs pool mining. There is still something weird about solo mining.

@bustcoin

a suggestion to an improvement of burst wallet :

Suppose the burst wallet tried to figure its own conception of what the utc really is.
for instance if peers exchanged what they were thinking that the time is, and what the system time is on their system, an algorithm could factor in own system time as well as all the peer system times, and the peer and calculated times, and then using wisdom of the crowd, derive a good estimate as to what time is.
Then that better time could be used for deciding when to broadcast a found block.

esp. on windows, system time is normally very unreliable, unless the user has installed programs made for ongoing adjustment. My 3 relatively highend motherboards all drift several seconds each day if i don't adjust them using non-OS programs.

i don't know if the miner also needs to know about system time - i don't think it does.

this will only help miners with bad clocks, not help the coin as such, so i guess not the highest priority.

Without knowing all the details in this case, I'd offer a basic roadmap instead of an ETAs, due to ACCT's importance. However, they still can prove us wrong: If I had all the details, I might very well had done what Ian did.

Unfortunately just as the AT code for Qora was ready to be merged (on April 30th) a bug was found.

So although calling it by the end of April was arguably a "tough ask" it had looked possible (and I'd also hoped that putting out such an ETA might provide a bit of extra incentive). Anyway most importantly the bug has now been squashed and the work to get Qora with AT rolled out the door is underway (I am not going to try and rush that as quality code is more import than a precise ETA).

I won't call the date this time - but I am extremely confident that it will be days rather than weeks, and even if we end up being a week or two late, compared to Ethereum we are extremely punctual.

Thanks for the explanation and update

Well I sort of feel like we are waiting to hammer out the details of POC2 before we can really talk to venture capitalists.  Maybe that isn't needed.

But it probably would be a good idea to start approaching them..  maybe we can try to talk to the same ones that funded Hedgy and tell them we've already got smart contracts working

We've come up with a more bit shaving resistant algorithm.  It's a combination of POC1 and our previous POC2 idea.

For once Elmit actually contributes something useful. Grats.

is POC2 going to continue on the existing blockchain or it will start a new one all over?

In my opinion.. short term, low prices are good, we need to attract more developers and entrepreneur types and let miners who are mining for short term profit go ahead and dump.. the more business and development minded people we get on board at these prices, the better long term.

I partially agree. Short term low prices are good, but as long as there is volume.  Haven't had any decent volume in ages. If people sell, but not make buy orders, it's not gonna happen. But I see the order book has increased slightly during this week

Please let the price fall down to 100 satoshi. At 100 satoshi i will place a 10 BTC buywall (and more BTC incoming if necessary).

today is the day. let's see how long we can buy BURST for under 100 satoshi

It will last under 100 for quite some time, its just another pump n dump coin sadly =(

Hmm.. I was thinking about how to convince POC and POC 2 to come up with an attack against the bitshaving.

And realized that POC actually can be bitshaved too. You only store every other hash in the hash chain.

I may have another idea in mind for POC 2 though. One that means you don't even have to plot your harddrive in the first place.

this bitshaving is more expensive than simply storing the data somewhere.
if you shave one byte of 64 in each scoop of a nonce you have to check 256 options insstead of one during mining.
even if you find a better deadline than the original scoop would yield the network wont accept this solution.
so to do a 0,64% shaving you burn much more energy.
compared to rig costs this means if you run a 164 hdd rig you save one disk 

another way to take statistical advantages would be to only store a reduced number of scoops to optimize your deadlines for the ones you have them stored for.
i have not looked into this in detail but the statistical idea is instead of mining with 100tb the whole day to mine on 3.6 blocks with a compareable storage of 1pb.
the tricky parts becomes disk io and at current diff levels this does not make sense. but maybe in some years.

I think this is true of POC2 which is basically POW. But as it stands.. It's currently better to only store partial plots for current algo. Say you store every other scoop, then if you are supposed to be pulling out of the bucket you have, you pull it from there. If you are planning to pull it out of a scoop that doesn't exist, then you pull it out of the previous one and hash it once to generate it.

But what if you just used the users hard drive in the current state, and they submitteded the merkle root for the drive (which would take time to calculate too) then when mining you required that they submit a specific branch of that merkle tree as proof it was their turn to mine?

Idk.. Not for long, inflation and volume is just so low for now. I still believe I this coin though.

Also, University of Pittsburgh is interested in providing is with interns top help us code. Could everyone contact your local university and ask for the same? I my opinion that is Bush's biggest weakness. We have one programmer, who is an amazing programmer but there is only so much one person can do and we really need a few more people developing the coin.
