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

[crowetic]

Surely this has been answered before and I apologize but I can't scroll through 1100 pages of this ANN. Compared to mining with asic or gpu how much electricity will a 1tb hard drive use? Is HDD mining energy efficient and cheaper on the electric bill?

A hard drive on its own uses about 5-10w, but you do need it plugged into a machine which will also use some power.

BURST mining with 80+ TB at my house, and I honestly notice basically no difference in my power bill over just leaving my computers on and not mining. So I would almost say that mining is free. To me, it basically is.

It will catch on, and it is.


Also @ Elmit - development is still VERY active. We have already seen a release of the GPU miner recently, and there is other development going on that will be released shortly upon BURST's bday, that will give more ease of use to the every day computer user.

burstdev himself is active in the core slack, so no, no one has abandoned BURST by any means, and please, stop with your nonsense.

Just because none of us has the ability to work solely for BURST (even though we would love to, it currently just isn't feasible) doesn't mean that nothing is going on.


People can help by donating to the BURSTPromoDevFund AT that I've setup either through the AT section of the wallet, or by sending BURST to BURST-CXF4-GBPX-R6BV-G4P8K

When we get enough money there (and the main reason we don't have it yet, is because it was stolen...) we will hire professional PR company to promote BURST as well.

BUT, you know, you can also do some promotion on your own, no one is stopping you. But then again, how many people will actually listen to you? So would you really do anything good for the coin or not?


Anyway, don't start again with this 'burst is dead' nonsense. It just isn't true, and you're simply being annoying for the sake of being annoying.

no one is stopping you from doing anything to help the coin, aside from the fact that no one likes you and no one trusts you. Which you've brought upon yourself.

fyi:  OP got updated

and we have so many things, changes and ideas in the pipeline but not enough manpower (and no girlpower at all) to develop Burst faster.

I ask everybody with coding skills, management skills, motivation or venture capital to join the journey!

For example open a thread like this 'Durr' today:
https://burstforum.com/index.php?threads/burst-banner-advertising-campaign.852/

or discuss with us in our Burst Slack -> PM with your email address to me.

Bittrex:
Buy order book: 2.9868 BTC worth of BURSTs
Sell order book: 653.1025 BTC worth of BURSTs

Poloniex:
Buy order book: 8.6105 BTC worth of BURSTs
Sell order book: 147.1715 BTC worth of BURSTs

In my opinion not a healthy trade status.

We need to create a NEED for BURSTs, so that trading can start.

Further, look at your wallet Recent Blocks:
In my opinion too less transactions.


Any ideas what we can promote (together) to get the "Needs" for BURSTs and so the value back up.

I will try to get BitID installed on one of my servers. It is a way to authenticate to a web site. We know similar ways, like Login with Facebook, Twitter or Google.
I use MyCelium wallet and it works fine for that.
Has anybody setup a website with BitID already?

If I succeed I want to modify it to use BURST addresses to do the same. On Github is a pull request already for other coins. Maybe we can jump on that and fork it to a BURSTid.
Is anybody interested in that?

i am not sure wether a id system is worth the efforts put into development since nobody would have to use it if there are different options.
what i think what we need are some more generic approaches for services payed in burst with.
i dont know what servers you have running and if you are hosting any services.
i may assist you in generating website user logins/tokens you can purchase in the marketplace.
eg. if you host a site for which you can buy premium membership you may buy this from the marketplace as token.
the structure would be like this:
-someone purchases a premium membership from within the burst marketplace
-a burstdb based backend on your server identifies the purchase and sends a encrypted message with login information to the buyer

this may also be integrated into existing infastructures. the tricky part would be to make the website interact with the burstdb backend.
currently the burstdb knows all transactions and their types. the only required addons would be some additional code to monitor marketplace trades and to send out messages.
if someone is familar with developing wordpress plugins we may provide a burst plugin as payment processor for tipping and purchasing premium access.

Have a look at some nxt stuff. It is super easy with the token generation system. You can login to a site with a token generated through the cog in the wallet. Also, you will find that there are plugins for wordpress built on nxt, which can be easily ported.

Would the Burst community be interested in a book on its first year history similar to this book:

Nope.

Burst doesn't need a book right now. We need a book AFTER we take off ;P

[romdu]

why is the monthly payout of the asset bdebank not equal to 2%? did i missed something about it? the previous payouts were ok and the service paid as promised.

So... why the hell not...? Your reasoning is as bad it can be: Spread the word is key to taking off. + this coin is lacking a coherent, accessible presentation of its foundation, innovations and features.


Btw, any other ideas for the one year anniversary coming up in a week, PR people?

[Jdj1727]

What's on the horizon for BURST? I'm holding.

[RealBitcoin]

Can anybody add this coin to yobit

https://yobit.net/en/addcoin/

I`d be glad to buy some over there, i don't want to make an account in other exchanges. It might boost it's price

[yeponlyone]

What I really would like to have to the 1-year anniversary is

A roadmap for
1. Technological goals and priorities (core development)
2. Software plans, ongoing and future
3. Promotional goals and priorities

Ideally, along with each step on the roadmap(s), hopefully presented both in text and graphics with a tentative time-table, should an analyze of existing (today) and required (future) resources.

Example of resources are key competences, funding, additional personal for time-demanding tasks, etcetera. When we know the required resources to reach a certain goal, the community will know what we collectively must try to bring in.


Basically: Let the investors and miners know where this boat is heading. As of today we know very little of that and it's a shame. Burst seems like a ship just cruising around without a real mission. An overall coordination of activities and communication seems to be lacking.


If the above actually was delivered, I'd suggest that you post regular (bi-weekly?) updates on what progress or obstacles you face, information essential to keep the roadmap updated and investors/miners informed. I'd prefer that you use the blog (which has not been updated for six-some week, btw).

The official site's Team-page]http://burstcoin.info/about/] official site's Team-page is impressive, but some of the names I get the impression are not active anymore. If this site is updated with the actual active devs, it could be connected to the roadmap to see which people are working on what.

For me the goals would be to make byte ent  better, and the home page more integrated with all the other stuff. Also to build a payment api like blockchain.info, or coinbase. Also to build on BurstID whenever that comes out, for integration with other apps. I would like to see the implementation of storj style cloud storage, development in the world of the AT's, and android/ios apps, hopefully built on an api which I hope to be able to provide.

EDIT: I am also hoping for instant transactions and blockchain trimming, and plan to build a light wallet, signing transactions etc. locally(i mean, through a downloaded html file, making it 100% secure), and then using a web wallet for api calls, e.g. acc balances etc.

That's not a roadmap worth a penny, as I see it. My wish for the anniversary is a well-structured and short document about those three areas co-written by you and your pals.

Of course it can not be more than a wish, but one year since launch I'd think a detailed roadmap is possible to produce for investors and miners (as a white-paper release evidently isn't in that time).

[vytasz7]

Why bdebank dividends are so small ? should be 2 %

[vytasz7]

its only around 0.5 or 0.6 percents

[vytasz7]

byteent no dividends at all 

[Irontiga]

byteent no dividends at all 

Apologies about this, crowetic is really busy atm. Will do payouts as soon as crow is back in action, hopefully soon!
