Building position here, looking good to me fellas, skilled traders dont spend that much in a low end of a trading range unless they expect to get paid handsomely

I guess quite number of people build position at this level.

Version 0.1.5 is out now!


Features:
+ Dark style (new)
+ Minimize to tray (new)
+ Wallet/Passphrase Manager
+ Switch between Online and Local Wallet
+ Crowdfunding & Lotteries


https://sourceforge.net/projects/burstwindowswallet/files/latest/download

It's enough to replace Burst_Wallet.exe. If you're using it the first time you can drop your old Blockchain into the "burst_db" folder.

This is pretty awesome! About time I'd say.

A question from me again ;

Which pool is the biggest? How would a ranking of the major pools look like?

I am aware of http://burstcoin.eu/pools (which is just an amazingly professional site! Think if the official home page be on the same level...), but the figures do not seem to match the numbers reported by the sites.

That can be due to that the pools exaggerate their miner numbers in some way, or that burstcoin.eu shows an average of miners over a certain amount of time. But the differences is sometimes really big.

DevPool v2 is reported to have 77 miners. If we look at the pool's "Current user balances", which is the miners who been active the last XXX blocks, it shows over 700 miners. If we look at "Current share counts", which is the active miners now, is shows 91 miners.

The numbers from some of the other pools do no seem to match either.

So does http://burstcoin.eu/pools display incorrect figures...? And if it does, which pool is the biggest and how would a ranking of the major pools look like?

Biggest pools are dev v2, burst.ninja, and pool.cryptomining.farm

[yeponlyone]

By the way, it would very be interesting to know how many solo miners Burst has and how much power they have, compared to the power of the pools (51% attack).

Some math genius should be able to figure that out

There are a couple of differences in "point of views"

1. most operators display in their time zone, and burstcoin.eu is in Germany, therefore GMT+2 (summer time)
2. the definition of active miners is different:
most of the pools show the numbers of miners as the amount of miners who have collected the reward assignments, burstcoin.eu uses who has got paid within the last 24 hours window (based on German time zone)

While the information of burstcoin.eu is advanced, the server isn't. In my firefox tab I usually have to refresh the tab, because I see an Temporary error or Internal server error. After refresh I see the content.

Most of your encountered differences could be fixed with the GMT time zone and definition of "active miners" versus "registered miners"

Thanks for answering, but what do you base that on? And how many miners do they have if the figures at burstcoin.eu are not accurate?

Interesting, and I completely agree that if there is not an agreed definition of "active miners", the pool owners should try to find one.

Regarding the server of burstcoin.eu, I also get those errors. My guess is that many miners do not have their wallet open but check their balances on burstcoin.eu, which updates regularly.

Perhaps the errors would be less if the front-end updates are less frequent?

[yeponlyone]

Another question, where did http://burst.poolto.be come from with 150 miners...? It shows on burstcoin.eu but is not even mentioned in the OP.

[Elmit]

Biggest pools are dev v2, burst.ninja, and pool.cryptomining.farm

Biggest in regards of what?

Most of the "wish outcome" can be set in the pool ;-)

If you setup your pool to payout amounts of 2 BURSTs, then you will see "many" miners (= "got paid the past 24 h window frame") and a lots of transaction fees will be burned.

The amount of found blocks depends greatly on the HDD space used for mining (and the factor "LUCK"). If a pool attracts small miners, then the daily found blocks and so the payout will be lesser than if the pool has many large HDD space miners. Individual miners have different HDD space then the average, therefore non of the values will be accurate.

Another value you did not address is the pool balance. Uray code silently ignored that payouts need to pay a fee. That leads to a result in a pool having too less funds to pay out. If a pool has close to zero, then this will happen more likely. Uray lessened that failure, by carry over a part of the payout to the next round. If a new block was found, miners will not experience a missing payout. To be sure the miners get always paid, the pool balance must be ALWAYS in a range that the

minimum payment  x  maximum amount miners  x  transaction fee  <= pool balance

is fulfilled.

I believe, that burstcoin.eu is on a shared server and not a cloud instance. From my experience a time out / such server errors occur if a database query takes over. Not likely on a shared server, since most likely these providers use a dedicated database server.

Maybe a node instead of apache server would solve that. The log file would sure give a clue.

Another question, where did http://burst.poolto.be come from with 150 miners...? It shows on burstcoin.eu but is not even mentioned in the OP.

blago miner for windows is supporting i think 1000 or more accounts at one instance.

so you create 1000 accounts. make for every account a plot file with 1GB and let it run with the pool. so the pool has 1000 miners.

some pools has no protection for that and out there are a few miners, that get with 1000x 1GB from this pools significant more burst than with one 1TB plot. i also had to face that issue, but i fixed this in my poolcode to protect the miners that not try to cheat.

I classify this as pure nonsense! But I might be wrong!

1. you can see plot files as "precalculated" results (dl)
If you use the same results (same dl of different miners), only one can be ahead and be the winner. In the pool we do not use "winner" but higher shares.
If you use different dl, then there is always one with more or less shares.
I cannot see that there would be a difference of 1000 x 1 GB or 1 x 1TB

2. the protection is on the pool if you disallow smaller miners. It means that the pool will not be spamed with 1000s of results from different miners.
If bigger miners are on the pool only the best of each miner will be counted though. I don't think that would be result in 100s of BURSTs per day.

[bobafett]

the public pool code also rewards such small miners. and there is a setting, that they will payout if the value is reached.

sure for every account you plot new files and new deadlines.

i had that issue with some miners at my pool. Within days i got 500 Miners at my pool, hundrets of them joined my pool in seconds. because of that, i plemented a protection for that. if this wasnt a problem for the pool, be sure i would not write it here. if you run the unmodified version, such miners can cheat your poolcode and get burst. and that not good for the other miners at your pool.

[bobafett]

you can see this at cryptomining.farm. this was the pool this miners comes from and as they saw, that i dont pay them, the got back to crypto.

If you look at crypto, you see over 600 miners. but here http://burstcoin.eu/pools you see, that only 169 are payed out. Thats because of this cheaters.

sure you can now say, no, thats all small miners. but believe me, that is not the reason.

Isn't EXACTLY why you use a pool, so that small miners get a chance to win?

You got many miners, because you offered rewards for additional miners. After that is gone, they go back, because cryptofarm pay out to smaller miners, you don't (quickly enough). As I remember you pay only 4% of one round out, so till a small miner reaches the payout threshold takes too long.

Urays code cannot handle many miners submitting dl.
You get a lots of traffic and handling/calculations on the pool.

However, most of this shortcomings you can fix with thoughtful settings. Not by introducing new program errors ;-)

My new pool software handles it differently. We can handle 100,000 miners, but don't worry, at the current price there are not so many left.
