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

[9000]

Nice to see so big community of this coin. The first time I heard about this coin was MinerGate blog and they said a lot of positive things about this coin and POS algorithm. Could you please help a mining newbie, what is the simplest way to start Burst mining? Is it true, that I can connect all my HDD to the laptop and increase an efficiency of the mining? Thanks!

Yes you can connect your HDD's to your laptop as long as your laptop has an USB3.0 port. (and your HDD's should support USB3.0) too. If not, you'll get very slow read speeds and your mining efficiency will be very low.

BURST is not a POS coin btw. It is POC.(proof of capacity) NXT is a POS coin. BURST forked from NXT and changed the algo.

To start mining you need to plot your HDD's. Download qbundle software here first: https://www.burst-coin.org/download-wallet

Qbundle has everything you need. (miner, plotter, local wallet)
Rest is a bit complicated but not hard. Just follow this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJLhw37Lh_8

Thank you very much for your kindly words, and informative thread, mindtrust.
Would you mind explaining or giving me links/ documents to estimate mining profits for BURST, please.
I have never mined coins using my HDDs, so I need your help.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

You can calculate your profits here: https://explore.burst.cryptoguru.org/tool/calculate

Don't get terrified by the super low returns. It has been like that since February. I really don't recommend buying new HDD's unless you get them very cheap.

my wallet freeze on block 475952 i tried rollback 1000 blocks but its still same stuck

Not 100% sure but if you pop-off more than 140 Blocks you have to sync from scratch...

I use Linux and I had mine stuck on block 478,861. Luckily I had version 1.3.6CG on the same computer still on block 477,XXX. I synced that and copied the blockchain db to 2.0.4CG and its working fine now.

I hope the PoCC fixes all the quirks so they can proceed in working on PoC2 and dynamic fees.

Mining quietly at the point with low difficutly, low prices, low total hashrates is better, smarter option for miners. It will ensure high profits for your mining operations.
No need to be panic and joining to mining party with high difficulty, high prices, high total hashrates.

Do you guys think that it is a good idea to start mining now? I plan on starting with about 3 8tb seagate hard drives.

No. The cost of mining per day is high that it would be better for you to buy Bursts on the market. It will come out cheaper for you. Burst mining has become so competitive ever since the PoCC started developing the coin. The interest in it from miners has gone up by quite a lot.

is it possible in the future, that downloading and get ready wallet wont be so difficult and time consuming?

You can connect your browser to one of the online public nodes available. It acts as a webwallet.

https://wallet.burst.cryptoguru.org:8125/index.html
https://wallet1.burst-team.us:2083/index.html
https://wallet.smit.pro:8125/index.html

I would also avoid connecting to Burstnation's public nodes if they have one. They are now around to hurt Burst, not support it.

Hi pinkflower,
Could you give me more detailed guides on how to connect to those online public nodes, please.
Many thanks for your help, pinkflower.

Open your favorite browser and click one of those links. They are online wallets but you input your seed as a passphrase like a brainwallet. Be sure to always use https. I would connect only to the PoCC's nodes and avoid Burstnation.

Masternodes for BURST? Really? Are you kidding me?
I have never heard that BURST team have planed Masternode operation in the Burst network.

How do you tell it to generate those plots on another drive.  My java in installed in my primary drive and it only wants to plot there where there isn't enough room the VM it says.  Need to plot on my E drive.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes to download the block chain with the new burst wallet update ?

A legendary member loke you should already know that it will depend on how fast your internet is, unless this is one of those hacked or sold accounts that more and more people in the forum are complaining about.

There are developers always online in /r/burstcoin on Reddit. Be specific with your problem and what you are attempting to do. From your post I assume you are trying to access your node from a local area network?
