Hello Burst community! I have been looking for a cryptocurrency to invest in for the long term, and one of the criteria has to be is the project must be doing something differently from the rest. The feature that attracted me to Burst is the mining algorithm Proof of Capacity.
I tried to read more about it but I havent found much information, except that Proof of Capacity has its own flaws and attack vectors. Can a developer please comment on that and on POC's development?
It might be better for Burst to drop all other developments and concentrate on POC.
PoC is what got me interested too, but there was an attack on BURST in early August which brought the whole network down for a few days. Thankfully that's over, but it's put a big scare into the price. Fortunately, I think that's behind us and the price is bottoming out. Touched near 100sat earlier in August but is starting to rise again. It's got a huge supply though, which is something to watch out for as to a limit on the high end, eventually. |

Alzander, what kind of attack? I read about a DDOS attack on the Burst website and online wallet. But if the attack is on the Burst nodes and miners itself, stopping mining and transactions then the network itself cannot be trusted for payments.
Is there another coin that uses Proof of Capacity? Burst may have inherited the slowless of NXT.

Hi there I am mining Burst again after 1 year off. I have read some posts here to check out what I missed last year. So I got some questions Burst seems to be at the same problems as past year. (Too few people know it, set up is to difficult for normal users, ...) Also saw that many faucets are empty, many websites not working many Pools are offline, ... Could anyone tell me what happened and what would be good for bust to come up? I have some effort to do something for burst.  Also would be glad if anybody knows how to clone burst just for learning. greetings |

Time will tell if it recovers, in the mean time i've just started mining again https://burst.cryptoguru.org/I was getting regular burst dividends from a couple burst assets, they haven't been paying lately though. |

Was the Burst network itself DDOSed or was it just the website and the web wallet?
I also want to know how far in development is Proof of Capacity in concern with security and its efficiency? And are there more developments coming? Ty.

I'd like to know if I can work with you and what I need to do to rent my spaces? There are many and I'm not using it! Do I need to get some Burstcoin? Being practical, what is the current profitability?

The only thing you really need is the "12 word phrase". |

The network was SPAM attacked: it was flooded with transactions that caused stable nodes to run out of memory and drop, causing the chain to fork. As well, a number of pools/forums were DDOSd. All is well now though (1 chain, forums and pools online). |

You mean rent your spare drive space? Burst doesn't have this functionality. You're thinking of Sia. In Burst, all you can do with your drive space is mine with it. |

Burst wallet doesn't work like that. Your password is your sole and singular tie to your wallet. Knowing your password, you can access your wallet from any computer, anywhere in the world. So, you don't need to do anything; just make sure your have a strong pw, and it's backed up sufficiently. |

BURST still seems to be getting DDOS attacks on a lot of it's infrastructure, and many pools have never come back (I have yet to see Haitch bring back ANY of his pools, for example) and the ones that HAVE come back have at least intermittent issues with "can't confirm deadlines in a timely way" that appear to be related to this issue. The "spam attack" does seem to be over and dealt with. SIA and MAID are the "rent hard drive space" coins - though there is an ASIC announced for SIA, no idea how THAT is supposes to work. |

I downloaded the Blockchain again because of errors, but now i am getting this error... Your local wallet hasn't started yet. It can take up to 10 minutes to start up. Try it again later. Please check that you have Java installed! Download Java here: https://www.java.com/download/ and then restart the Burst Client. If your local wallet doesn't start at all you can clean up the database. Go to "Help" -> "Clean up DB". Debug: Start run_save_mode.bat in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\BurstWallet to see the command line to find the problem. Your local wallet hasn't started yet. It can take up to 10 minutes to start up. Try it again later. |

This is usal way! Please be patient and wait for the complete start of the wallet a couple of minutes. You can recheck by clicking "Local wallet" from time to time until you got the Login screen. |
