This is AWESOME! Thanks a lot ... daWallet and crowetic! This is a big step ahead!
I always had something like this in mind and i know that it was a lot of work.

Thank you

daWallet was the one that did all the hard work, I just compiled the setup.exe and made the video

I hope this will bump BURST up the ladder in ease-of-use!

Share with everyone!

I emailed a bunch of crypto news sites, and also tried to submit a PR to coindesk, but apparently my PR doc skills aren't up to par, it keeps getting rejected probably due to formatting, I'll keep reformatting it and trying again! lol.

edit: if anyone would be able to help me formatting it... https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nwHUjHcNc4sdzLa5F1MIGGcKgUdf6ArfeInWOvnl5mE/edit?usp=sharing

and yes, I did remove the links, so it isn't from that.

[yeponlyone]

Great, great, great   Btw, why not call coindesk and ask what's up, or take one of the published ones as template?

Now when we have this PLEASE:
- write a blog about it and link here and the vid
- update the OP: this is now how you mine BURST
- Do not just post one tweet, keep 'em coming and we'll retweet
- Update the home pages



Thanks for all your work

I haven't been here for a while, but like the new GUI setup. Only suggestion, maybe make a solo mining option and the ability to use the gpu plotter. Also, I notice that burstcoin hasn't been online for a while, why don't y'all just take it over. I understand he has a life and what not or maybe having a personal issue at the moment, but that shouldn't stop the progress of this coin. Wasn't there an original plan to link this coin to SuperNET or something similar?

Keep up the good work and I appreciate it, sure the community does too....

Thanks. Those things are all planned for future releases.

We will not let the development on the coin stop, if we deem a takeover necessary, that will be what will happen. Thanks for the comments!

Right On!!! 

Also, how about getting some people to go to some of the crypto conferences for PR?

Since the GPU miner is out, are HDD's now a bottleneck? How much more power consumption does the GPU miner compare to the Blago miner or other miners?

Absolutely @ conferences, anything near me in the West side of the US, I would go absolutely.

Please feel free to post any announcements on these types of things, and we'll keep our eyes open as well.


Honestly, based on my usage of the GPU miner, I'm thinking it is going to be even more efficient than CPU since it doesn't have to work as hard to read the plots faster.

We're heading in the right direction as far as the GUI and GPU mining capabilities.


This coin is still destined for greatness, even if it takes longer than we thought, no big deal!

I still have plenty of other ideas we can make happen even without any changes to the main code, the coin already has so much stuff we can make use of.


I don't think the main dev has disappeared either, he mentioned needing some time for something, and I'm gonna let him have it, he deserves it for all the work he did getting BURST to existence!


But the community need not worry, we still have a dedicated core of people that will not let the coin disappear, and we're always on the lookout for more people who are willing to get involved, and help in any way possible, be it development, PR, or whatever else! So yea, BURST isn't going anywhere!

Thanks, made those changes.


Edit: That first one was in the PR template given to me, I didn't even notice it. The second was a total typo. Much appreciated.

[Blago]

....
 How much more power consumption does the GPU miner compare to the Blago miner or other miners?

AMD FX-6300, RAM 16 Gb, 11 SATA + 1 USB disks (~ 18,4 Tb).

Rig started - 217 W,
Windows loaded, idle - 188 W,
Blago's CPU miner - 218 W (44 sec),
Luxe's GPU miner - 240-255 W  (ASUS HD 7850, 21 sec),
Luxe's GPU miner - 291-302 W  (ASUS R9 280x, 20.6 sec).

Mining Burst will push efficient GPUs for reading operation.
To explain newcomers: We haven't switched to CPU or GPU mining. It's about reading your plotted HDDs - it's possible with CPU or GPU. The bottleneck will be always the amount of HDD (hashing power) you can bring in.
