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

[notabeliever]

I think maybe Burst's downfall is being NXT based, even with a standalone wallet NXT just makes everything more complicated. And it's hard to believe that hard drive mining hasn't caught the attention of any dev to create a new coin with the same feature 

I wonder if it follows NXT up and down swings? are you saying it should be forked into another type?

Yes, I think it should be forked into a Qt wallet.

Can anyone point me to a Mac Guide For getting Started With BurstCoin and BurstCoin Mining

This if for the wallet, i can make 2 more for plotting and mining

Gonna update the guide.

So I am pretty new to CPU mining and Burst mining. How are the two related? From what I understand burst mining uses your HDD and CPU mining uses your processor.

So if I am CPU mining a cryptonote coin why would mining bust effect my hash rate? Does burst somehow effect your CPU as well? Obviously I lack some crucial understanding....could someone help me out? Thanks

It depends on your configuration. Before you begin mining you should plot your HDD and this takes 100% CPU. For a lot of TB plotting could take quite some time. Then you'll need some CPU once each 4 minutes. On many processors it's better to mine cryptonote only on half the cores (or even less). Mining BURST shouldn't bother if this is the case and you only mine with 1 or 2 HDDs.

Thanks for the input, so I have 2 desktops to play around with. One is a newer i7 processor that I'm guessing is quad cores because miner gate says I have 8 cores available. So I have been mining crypto note with it. The other one is like an early 2000 Intel celeron. If I got a couple TB hard drives could I plot on the celeron or is it useless to try and mine on a cpu so old? Aside from that is miner gate the way to go on cpu mining or could I find something more profitable to solo mine?

Isn't the minergate miner closed source? What's your hash rate and how many cores you are using on the core i7 for cryptonote? The maximum H/s with the lowest power usage on optimized AES miners should be on 2, 3 or 4 of the i7 cores depending on the processor cash size (also check if your processor supports AES-NI instruction set). You should be able to mine BURST with about 4 external (or internal) HDDs on the same i7. There are many other pools and miner softwares for Monero you could test (for best performance you should enable windows large page support first and restart). There's also the option to solo mine in the Monero daemon - you should be able to solo mine a block in about 45 days with i7 (depending on the luck - it could be 20 days or 90 days). Solo mining supports the network the best. I solo mine both on the BURST and Monero networks. I think the celeron would be useless in this case.

The plotting guide will come up in a week or two, plotting is not as fast on a macbook compared to a desktop pc, so you should think about plotting on a another pc and transfer the plots.

Marketing Project:

I have created a marketing fund:

17GPDdHiXthrwrLVmw7x9p3FdGzeQwWmcY
https://blockchain.info/address/17GPDdHiXthrwrLVmw7x9p3FdGzeQwWmcY

This fund will be used to buy advertisements for BURST, which I will credit tonight with Bitcoins. The objective is to promote BURST since the demand has shrunk a little bit in the last weeks. BURST needs a shakeup and new members, a bigger and stronger community.

We hope to raise the number of posters in this thread, the number of miners, the number of BURST buyers, and thus the price, and eventually make BURST a big and strong altcoin.


Yes, BURST can make it, so if in the next days more people will post here and the price will suddenly start to go up, we can say that the marketing campaign was successful!

Let's do this!

Sorry for the delay, I had some technical problems, but everything is resolved now, the coins are in the wallet and the project is started:

Marketing Project has Started!

We will see many new members in the next days, so please be polite to them and explain to them how mining works. This project costs money so any FUD makes us waste money. So please be polite and show them how welcoming our community is!

I'm using blago miner, and other than moving plot files, isolating them and running the miner on one plot  what else can we do to test a plotted file. testing purposes only. Can't use jminer.

1. Is their a line to add in the conf file that would display the plot file name read.
2. Text output to log file or something.
3.Is their a simple plot file tester.

Other than jminer and blago which other miner uses the same plot file?

5,000 Burst to anyone that can help me get this dang jminer GPU miner running.

I have a AMD R9 270 I'm trying to use as a gpu miner and this is what I have installed

AMD Latest drivers
Java 8 Update 65
AMD AppSDK 3.0
OpenCL 1.1 support for intel core processor family
Running Win7 64bit with 16gigs of ram

Using the gpu plot generator setup option this is what my devices look like

Code:

[0] Intel(R) OpenCL (OpenCL 1.1 )
    [0]        Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz (OpenCL 1.1 (Build 25940.26006))
[1] AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing (OpenCL 2.0 AMD-APP (1800.8))
    [0] Pitcairn (OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1800.8))
    [1]        Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz (OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1800.8))

So in the jminer settings all I did was change the plot path, just 1 drive for testing purposes, my numeric ID, pool and platformId=1
deviceId=0 I'm assuming thats for the 1 AMD then 0 Pitcairn since it's gpu mining

So when I run the batch file with only these settings changed in the visual studio code

Code:

plotPaths=Z:/Burst/plots
poolMining=true
numericAccountId=17908512605713200237
poolServer=http://pool.burstcoin.de:8080
platformId=1
deviceId=0

I get this and it just hangs so I have to ctrl+c to terminate it....

Yea I just left those blank for the defaults. It's gotta be something java related. I have uninstalled java and reinstalled it to only get the same output. Would it matter if it's the 32bit or 64bit version installed or does it matter?
