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

[jamoes]

Does anyone know what version of NXT that BURST was forked from? I'd like to diff the code to see exactly what changes the dev made. I tried diffing against v1.2.6 of NXT, but there seem to be a lot of extraneous non-burst related changes in that diff.

If it's only a few changes, it'll be a good way to completely disprove the FUDers.

Im not an expert on NXT but it does say NRS version 1.0.2 on the webclient

That's the BURST version number.

http://burst.cryptoport.io now has blockchain stat ! (this include richlist and other usefull stats)

enjoy it !

I'm seeing a strange horizontal scroll bar when I go to this site, even if my browser is maximized. It's happening for me on both firefox and chrome on linux.



I think it's because the <div class="SearchArea"> has the CSS property "overflow-x: scroll". When I remove that property, the page looks much better for me.

thanks for report,
fix commited & pushed to git

Great work uray. Your work is really fantastic.

Awesome! It looks fixed from my end. Thanks for the quick fix!

Uray, I just donated to you. Not a super large donation... but I sent you 6,000. Thank you for your work!

thank you so much, yup i received it...
all your donation really push me to keep making improvement !

thanks again

Pool mining is working great for me so far 

[tibolt]

what is burst per day and how much tb you have?

I like to announce:

The Plot-generator rewritten in C!

It has several advantages over the one written in Java:
- About twice as fast
- Support for larger stagger sizes, only limited by system memory
- More efficient memory handling. With just 3GB you can use Stagger size 8191, with 8GB 24000 is possible. Plots with larger stagger sizes are better, as they require less disk seeks to be read.

You need a 64bit Linux environment to run this. Maybe someone can port it to Windows?

How to run it:
Download, unpack (tar -xzf plotgenerator.tgz), compile (make)

Then use the same command line options as with the Java-generator:

Code:

./plot <key> <starting nonce> <nonces> <stagger size> <threads>

You can download it here:
https://bchain.info/plotgenerator.tgz

Anyone have any luck compiling this for Windows? It runs fine in Linux after compiling.

I used the this in terminal in Linux after I compiled it: "x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc plot -o plot.exe"

Then I try to run it on Windows and can not run. I think I am suppose to use "x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ plot -o plot.exe"

My skills are novice in compiling, so any help is greatly appreciated. Once I can get this running, I'll share a link to download it for Windows users.

It looks like BURST is forked from NXT v1.1.6. I tried diffing the BURST source against all the recent releases of NXT, and this diff against v1.1.6 had the fewest changes. In total, it looks like there are 230 lines of code added and 555 lines of code removed from the NXT 1.1.6 code. This does not include the new dependency on the cryptohash.fr library, which BURST depends on for the shabal256 hash algorithm.

I uploaded the diff here if you'd like to view it yourself: https://gist.github.com/jamoes/5f6a60f56aef26ab98bc.

If you are accusing BURST of having a pre-mine, please point out in the diff where you see the pre-mine behavior. Everything I can see in that diff looks legitimate.

Someone can post how many miners are mining burst?
Last time i check was 750 miners or something like this.

Thanks.

No one can do that?

579 BURST addresses found a Block or more! (lastBlock: 5382)

Wow that's a really good statistic...

That's pretty damn well-distributed!

thanks for bringing it up again ... motivated me ... here is the output of a new version ... incl. richlist
maybe i find time to package and upload tomorrow ...

(just noticed that there is a little bug printing 0.xxx balance ... does not matter i think ...)

@uray ... thats AWESOME thx!

You can not compile for Windows ... you have to port it to Windows! Think there is a difference!?

Is that 4.2 million c-cex?

I just read through the code, I have to change all the Linux strings into Windows....Going to be harder than anticipated....

i think in the shabal assembler file has also some parts which interact with the kernel.
i am not sure if it may be simpler to replace the shabal lib with a opencl or cuda one.
maybe someone could check the cudaminer forum and ask for help/support ;-)
