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

[KingCaper]

Different topic, apparently people in the poloniex troll box are calling Burst a ponzei scheme. Might be worth having a couple people go over there and discuss the advantages of Burst and why you think it'll survive in the long run.

"Ponzi scheme" just seems to be a stock criticism of any cryptocurrency that's seen a rise, from people who are sore that they didn't get in earlier. If anything Burst seems to have a much fairer distribution model than most other projects.

This was fun  

ccex is one crazy exchange... 333sat atm

But deposits take too long time!

Looks that way bittrex seem to be going up gradual but people knocking it back. Maybe we all get to see 1k by weekend would be a nice rise for burst go get into the 1k filed

Nowhere comes near poloniex's level: 24hr Volume: 213.46380666 BTC / 73288918.53277030 BURST
Price reached 399 sat. What a great day for BURST.

[mczarnek]

And regarding this price rise, keep in mind that it wasn't immediately after DPOS and the BitUSD were released that BitShares had a big price jump.. took a couple weeks..  point being, I think we're only at the beginning from the AT effect.  Give Burst one or two more positive things happening soon and we're going to explode onto the scene big time.  Though personally, I think the slower the better..  I think we really need to get more programmers on board at this price for this coin to have long term potential.  More marketers would be nice too.

So again, everyone please reach out to other developers and try to get them invested, maybe we should reach out to Nxt developers again?  Other developers in this field?  Even your programmer friends looking for projects to work on in their spare time.

One project that would be particularly nice would be a nicer plotter/miner tool.  Give it a file location, plot size, and wallet address and it does the rest for you.

How do you install the windows wallet?

How do you install the windows wallet?

it comes as a zip file, so simply uncompress it to some directory, like, whatever.. i use c:\mining\burst_1.2.1 but whatever will do
then navigate to that directory and run the run.bat file
if the batch file manages to detect java correctly, you should have a window open now, with the title BURST WALLET

at this point, double click the Burst_wallet shortcut inside where you found the run.bat file

that double click should open your browser and show the login screen

at this point, you can type or paste in any burst passphrase and the wallet associated with that passphrase will be opened. If noone else ever used that passphrase you get an empty wallet,
that is all yours unless someone else guesses that passphrase, so chose it wisely and randomly. perhaps use lastpass or keepass or the like to generate and remember it.

Hope the above is pointers enough to get you going, otherwise come back with specifics, and i, or others will help out with the details.


Most people who get lost have problems bc the batch file doesn't find java, so they never even get to start the java program that is running the show.

When you manage to get the wallet started, it will download the blockchain and that takes considerable time. The web interface will show that the chain is downloading, be patient. it can take hours. You can also download a copy from (i think) burstcoin.info that should get you going somewhat faster.

[omskbear]

What is this? More than 12 hours without conf.?

I try redownload blockchain, wallet say "You are most likely on a fork (you have forged the last 10 blocks)."

What can i do?

Yeah.. that would be another nice one.  We do have permission to port over Nxt's 'Wesley Wallet'   Probably wouldn't be that hard either...

We've been in an uptrend since early November. It was clearer on the graphs before today's rally.

@crazyearner -

The pool just isn't finding enough blocks yet. The way the payout system works is as follows...

There are two pies... the historic, and the current.


50% of the payout is based on the historic, and 50% on the current. That way both the block finder, AND the historic "best" miner both get a decent piece.

The way that burst.ga will be setup when switched to the new code, will be for smaller miners, and the pool at burstcoining will be setup for larger ones.

I think I will be switching to the new code ASAP on burst.ga as I'm tired of all the bugs in uray's code.

I will be talking to my developer about getting the new code on burst.ga ASAP.


But yea, the only issue with the burstcoining pool right now, is that the block rate is low, so you're not going to be making as much as you should, since we're not hitting the amount of blocks we should be.


But the new code is WAY better than uray v2. We can also customize it more if we get more people saying they'd like to see things different, it's a process, and I'm super busy lately, so it's difficult to get all the stuff I have to do, done.

But that being said, I really like the completely new code that we have, and once we put it on burst.ga I think it will show it's true potential.

So am guessing you would maybe recommend mining elsewhere to mine continues until all testing has been done and dusted and had the fine tuning unless want to for fit a little of the earnings while are in beta stages.?

Sorry that I'm now mining at other pool, I really cannot afford to loss my coming 3rd forged block again... To me with a little plotted 6TB, it is really hard to forge a block

I JUST SENT COINS TO MY BURST WALLET...however I closed the wallet by accident and the blockchain was still downloading I re opened my wallet and used the same passphrase however how come my BURST address is now different than the one I sent it to....the blockchain is still updating btw FUCK I HOPE I DIDN'T LOSE MY BURST....FUCK also it said if it was the first time funding ur wallet ur gonna need ur public key...however poloniex.com didn't have a space for public key just the burst address part so that's what I did..m

[bensam123]

What is a good 'cachesize' for Blagos miner for mining solo? I still don't entirely understand what the options do or how they influence the miner. I'm pretty sure it's not a 'cache'.

Is anyone working on a GPU assisted miner or anything like it? Burst definitely could use it. My poor little low end CPUs can't handle this.

If you get a different burst address you login with the wrong passphrase for sure!!!!
Chech your password again

To mine burst if is enough an Atom CPU
Different thing is if you intend to plot files.
To plot you need high calc power!
And you already have a GPU plotter.
But i remember you, the last CPU plotter have better performance that GPU plotter.

I just bought a 2,5 tb hdd just to find out my paypal account was frozen due to a ebay buyer that didn't contact me directly but had to open a dispute. On sunday i sold some other articles and i can't even send them out
Financialy i am totaly fucked right now, not enough money on the bank account to cover the credit card invoice.

Lets say I have 3x2 TB drives and leave my computer on most of the time; would BURST be at all profitable?

You may be able to 'mine' with a ATOM, but you will be throwing away the majority of your hashing power as you wont be able to scan your drives before the next block hits (depending on how much storage you have). I can only imagine the eight minute scan times on a Atom with 10TB.

http://burstcoin.eu/charts/average-block-generation-time

You have to finish scanning your plots within 120s, preferably 30s. If a new block hits while your still scanning your drives, you lose any deadlines you may have found in the unscanned portions. I seriously wonder what the average scan time is across the network, the majority of people can't be in under 120s, especially thinking they can mine on a atom (although this depends on how much storage you have). Average scan time / TB

[katlogic]

Few questions...I'm new to your community. Great coin. Is this based off Microsofts whitepaper? Also how many coins will exist and when will they all be in circulation? Do you guys ever see this coin hitting .... .1? Or $1? Are there any future plans to market this coin better?
Also when sending burst what is MSG? An what is all this stuff about unencrypted n stuff can someone answer all my questions please and thank you

No idea about any MSR whitepaper either. The idea has been around for a while, notably http://www.openwall.com/presentations/ZeroNights2012-New-In-Password-Hashing/
