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

[Wed]

Thanks for your help guys. I think I will try that virtual machine thing.
Debian should be okay, I think?
Hope it will work :-)

Sure, whichever distro you're most comfortable with. If you have no favorite one yet, the with ubuntu 14.04 you should find the most help online though.

For efficiency debian minimal would be great If ur comfortable in the terminal that is....

I grew up with a terminal, so I think it could be that I'm comfortable with the terminal ;-)

Burst is now as low as 27 Sat.

With that speed, we will reach the 15 within the next 24 hours!

26 Sat and 7.79 PB network size

1.45 PetaByte asset is still cheap available. Get it before the price lined up takes effect.

PetaByte is a mining asset. 1 PetaByte asset is equal to a mining power of 1 TB hard disk.
The mined rewards are distributed to all asset holders at the first days of the month for the previous month.

UNIQUE to all other assets is, that it is not important how long you owned the asset, but when you owned you get paid according to your asset shares.
We all know that you cannot buy 0.03 TB hard disks, but you can buy 0.03 PetaByte assets, that is equal to a hard disk of 0.03 TB.

Why let your BURSTs sit around and do nothing? Buy PetaByte assets instead and put a sell order to it. As long you own it you earn and it is gone as soon somebody buy it.

PetaByte asset you can buy by:
1. open your wallet
2. click on Asset Exchange
3. Add Asset ID 14668748687827404894
4. On the left side you see the offers of PetaBytes, click on Buy PetaByte with BURST
5. Fill in Quantity and use the suggested Price BURST/PetaByte
6. The form will display how much you need to pay for, including fee. If you have enough BURSTs in your wallet, click on Buy (BURST -> PetaByte)

Within a few confirmations, you are the new owner of PetaByte assets.

Enjoy earning, while we do the mining work for you.

Update: 0.547 PetaByte still cheap available

I want to mine on Mac OS X but I can't find a possibility to plot on OS X.
Is there any possibility? Everything seems to be available for OS X but plotter.

I'm no expert in macs, but have you tried compiling dcct?
though there might be a problem with endianness, bah i dont have a mac, but yes, java should work. I bet it's slow.

You can try VirtualBox (if that's on mac) or similar, install linux, share your plot folder to the vm and use dcct tools, they should be faster than java

There's a port of dcct miner for Mac OS X with SSE4 / AVX2 support:

why, we [burst community] are going to die so easily?

[update]

I just uploaded a new version of burstcoin-address-generator a little tool, to find more personal burst address ... like BURST-YOUR-NAME-xxxx-xxxxx

For feedback and suggestions please use:
https://burstforum.com/index.php?threads/759

Features:
- executable *.jar ... just double click to start!
- GUI for easy usage.
- multithreading (set number of threads and 'tries per thread'),
- multiple and combined search keys
- specify constant pre- and postfix for rnd-passwords
- simple stats in tries/second

burstcoin-address-generator-0.2.2-SNAPSHOT.zip 8.1 MB

For example ... lets find a address that starts with 'BURST-LUXE-'
https://i.imgur.com/fQkHp4M.gif

After pressing 'Start', wait some seconds, select a result and press 'Copy to Clipboard' ... thats it!

Notice: Searching for more than 5 chars could take a while :-) Btw. passphrase will work for NXT wallet, too!

Can you tell me how to use it to recover my password:
I have lost to a burst address the password (random string). I printed it out, but the password was a few characters longer than the paper. It was not much longer, otherwise it would have printed into the next line.
I used this program, with the key of my entire burst address and the password size of 120, with a password prefix of the string (105 characters) from the paper.

Are we?
The price might go down, but we are not dead yet.
I am sure that within a week the price will be double.

The terrorist bit was a little over the top, but was really more just a play on words re: his username. You didn't address the main point though: he is constantly threatening to destroy BURST if his ideas are not implemented (for months now), how can someone like that be regarded as having good intentions or trustworthy or even worth spending time in discussion with?

Also, I really don't see how making more coins, which seems to be the crux of his demands, will attract more miners. If there's no demand for them, it will just drive the price down further and faster. If he hates the emission curve so much, let him launch his own fork. Or let him do whatever he wants to with BURST.

As an aside, I really think his threats are just bs. Not being heavily invested I'd kind of like to just see him ignored, to see if he would actually follow through with his threats. Would exchanges freeze the coin or just delist it? Would people start to side with bitladen or just hardfork a checkpoint and let him try again (or just let it die)?

[notabeliever]

Being a new person here not sure what the past issues are with the founding members however..............

No offense to Binladen cause not sure who you are just trying to use a little business sense. It seems everyone is worried about a hostile take over.
a hostile takeover will occur when one person controls 51 percent of a company.

My advice is if 3 people combine there shares and form a partnership/poison pill/group etc then they can prevent this takeover.

where is the list that shows Binladen shares, is it the rich list or something.

There is a whole idea set forth that with which the change of reward is only one of the first steps. The rest includes making our decentralized market anonymous, and having a built in btc-BURST exchange so that the market can be used with BTC directly, and many other uses. But the change in reward is the first step to KEEP our current miners. I don't believe that the price would be affected all that much by this change, the price is already low. The cap wouldn't be hit for a while now, and the increase in reward wouldn't be all that much until the network grows anyway. The point is looking at the future.

I have already addressed his "threats" many times, I do not take them as threats because if they were truly threats without any other reasoning, why would he do it in public? He's simply pointing out this is a possibility, and since people don't seem to be believing him, he's saying he will prove it if the situation becomes available.

But it seems like instead of accepting a plan with almost everything the community asked for included, it seems that no plan is more favorable to the community. Sucks, but that's what seems to be the case.

I doubt he's in the richlist because he doesn't hold his coins very long.

I've also proposed a change in the core structure of the team, so that it would be more business like.

Currently a 51% attack isn't possible yet, luckily. But the trends show the network shrinking, this is what we're trying to prevent. Because whether you believe it or not, bitladen isn't the bad guy here.

The problem, is that this kind of attack is even POSSIBLE. This in itself means that our network is too small. If we're legitimately to a point where 51% is a possibility, there needs to be some changes.

Does anyone disagree?

Who here thinks everything is fine the way it is? Who here thinks that everything that has been going on is just fine? Who here thinks that the BURST network is not in a situation that needs change? If you think this, please tell me what you think the future looks like and how we should get there?

The problem I've seen, is that no one has any other ideas, they mostly agree that changes need to be made, but have nothing to offer as far as WHAT should be changed, or WHO could do it. Not only COULD, but WOULD and wouldn't ask for any payment.

The only payment bit's asking for is a change that would help the entire mining community of the coin. A change that would give a reason to not only continue mining BURST, but for new miners to jump in and start.

We all realize that today's crypto market is different than when BTC started, right? There are many different factors that must be taken into consideration when developing a model for the coin. The old school model was fine for BTC, but it seems BTC only is the one that will be successful with this model. Show me another alt with this model that has kept up with the decline.

Do you really think that if we continue this way, that we will have enough transactions on the network to make it worth it to miners at the end when the blocks are mined out?

This mining style is BY FAR the most power efficient, but we've STILL got miners quitting because of POWER? Doesn't that seem crazy to anyone else? Even before the GUI and ease of use for the coin, back when the rewards were higher, there were MANY more miners, coincidence?

[RealBitcoin]

C`mon guys i cant believe nobody added this coin yet to Yobit:

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

Guys add the coin to yobit so that I can buy some. I`m waiting here for like 1 month to buy some.

Is a formal plan listed in the OP or anywhere for community review? Sorry if I missed this, at one time I had said I would be willing to donate if there was a clear plan or the Dev was back and communicating here with a roadmap of features/fixes. I understand the personal issues but there needs to be a time when another core Dev takes over and outlines a path for change including the associated cost. The current status of "wait for Dev to return" does not seem like the best plan.

I find it very hard to believe the Dev cannot spend 5 minutes to post and say "Hey, I have some personal issues to deal with at the moment, I am still committed to Burst" instead of sending crowetic as a messenger.

I used this program, with the key of my entire burst address and the password size of 120, with a password prefix of the string (105 characters) from the paper.

You should figure out the range it was longer ..., lets say it was 3-6 chars longer. Than you could set passwordSize to 3, next try to 4 and so on. Using your 105 chars long prefix. (passwordSize is only the rnd part)
Edit: you can run multiple tries at once, simply go back to config tab, adjust and press start.
Your entire burst address as key is ok. It is possible that you find your bust address but it is not the correct password, unlimited passwords lead to same burst-address, but your wallet will tell you.
Edit: The rnd part of the tool does not contain special chars! If the end of you password contains $ or % or whatever, you have no chance.
Good Luck!

I'll be posting a link to my paper soon, just doing a couple modifications to it. But as of now, the entire plan hasn't been seen by anyone but the core team. I will be posting it for the entire community as soon as possible.

Increasing the mining rewards is not a bad idea because I thought the constant downtrend on rewards really hurts the POC concept. It should be increased and more or less kept at that reward level for a long period (similar to bitcoin/litecoin and the halving aspect but maybe not as low as halving). Providing more utilization for Burst is a must. The assets are definitely a good start but thats more from an investor standpoint. You need more utilization from a common user as well. Looking at the CLAMS concept maybe a burst dice game like dooglus has? Give the players an option to play or invest in the bank roll.  It seems to have really helped CLAMS maintain a good value (although the POS aspect also helps fund that bankroll and keep its popularity as well). I think the burst/btc exchange would be nice as well but more direct utilization of burst is needed.

[crowetic]

Here is a link to my paper, it isn't fully edited, just wanted people to see the ideas that I had proposed to the team.

The document is commentable, so leave a comment (make sure you leave your btt username at the end or beginning) and we can discuss, or you can quote parts and discuss here, or in the burst team chat.


Look forward to seeing the opinions of the community.
