Been holding Burst for ages now but stopped watching it a few months back. Ecstatic to see an active community still exists for this coin, and the dev still (slightly) active. Surprised to see the price has been doing so poorly despite such an innovative project with active developments. But I guess most altcoins suffer in price in times of Bitcoin recession. I'm still optimistic for the future of this project, and I'll buy some more Burst to keep my average buy price down. Sorry I can't do more for Burst, keep on fighting the good fight.
i'm not worried about the price...
but i'm worried about transaction count..
we are going down...
we need some idea to change outlook...
this may relate to pool payouts and the block reward reduction.
lower rewards, more pools and a higher diff cause longer time intervals to trigger the payout threshold for the miner.
if you feel better if we have more transactions i may setup a fortune service.
you may buy a fortune message in the marketplace for some burst and receive it as message.
i would have to code a simple backend for it but maybe this would be a nice showcase to demonstrate blockchain interaction with offchain services.
now imagine you could buy a website login from the marketplace delivered by the blockchain as encrypted message
if you look into the transactions per block for the last two days (
http://pastebin.com/rsDfSBCr) there are only a few with a couple of transactions.
there were times when a single pool payout filled all 255 tx from a block.
