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

[notabeliever]

Bitladen,
You seem upset lately and wonder why not sell your shares and leave burst for another coin.
Maybe fork it the way you wanted too. It just seems to me all this complaining isn't getting anywhere.
If you are upset at me for making this comment then you care enough about this coin to make a differance.

As for me I will mine it

Everything that was an old stable coin took a hit when they tried to fork bitcoin into XT but I don't need to complain about it.

Things need to change for BURST. Clearly the way it is now is not working. Giving a percent to the DEVS is reasonable assuming the rewards are increased or at least plateau and not consistently decreasing like it is now. The new core team looks good but making bitladen the lead dev gives me a lot of mixed feelings. He has a vested interested in this coin (with all the hashpower) and I am sure he is more than qualified to be a DEV but his attitude is a major turnoff. If we start attracting new people who start posting opinions it does not look inviting to have the lead dev posting rude comments just because he disagrees with the poster. The decentralized file storage would be similar to STORJ? Is that the end game for it or am I misinterpreting it? Like I said earlier there needs to be more utilization of the coin that is not just from an investment standpoint. A lot of people like to gamble with bitcoin so having a gambling aspect with burst could be helpful (dice games, sports betting, casino ,etc).  Hopefully its possible.

Forgive me for trying to save you. I'm not offering to anymore. Find somebody else.

And me hold burst? Do you think I'm an idiot, like that? I'm not, you are

I see you are still here and you still mine the coin. hmmm  you save the coin by trashing its thread and as for me

........By Burst community its was fun before  the likes of bitladen.


You have lost another miner

[bitladen]

You have lost another miner

excellent, soon i will have 51%

The value of any currency comes from perceived value, i.e., trust. No dollar, yuan, ruble, drachma, etc. has any real intrinsic value; its value is derived from the trust that people have in their government that it will be worth something, generally the trust that it will be worth about the same tomorrow as it was today. You can argue for gold, but that's really more of a commodity, and in fact is probably worth so much because its perceived value as a safe haven drives the cost well above what it would be for its industrial use alone.

What I'm trying to say is: how the fuck did this whiny doucherag come so close to being in charge of development for this coin? He is constantly belittling the majority of the people in this thread for being idiots for holding the coin, not to mention threatening to attack the same coin and reduce its value to nothing. He asks for a higher reward so he can dump more faster. I mean seriously, wtf? Wtf are you smoking crowetic?

Besides that he's demonstrated zero capability of implementing any features afaik. It would be simple to change one or a few lines of code to increase the block reward, which seems to be his primary concern, but has he shown any capability to implement the other features that he's proposed? Let him release a new version or show some code or stfu (though the latter seems unlikely)...

[tonycamp]

i have no vote into the materia of the facts of coin rewards per block i have no vote on the saying that 30 satoshis its few for me to mine i just think that burst coin its geting like i suposed to be 6 months ago down a drain if theres no much more things to be done like blocks reward better taken and a pump a bit into the coin to the 60 satoshis for people ot figure out the HDD prices of 15 dolllars per TB and that can be roi into mining after like 6 months if btc and burst rises

REMEMBER.

1) Take a pills
2) Visit doctor

 
And your paranoia gone

[ltcnim]

a higher reward would just kill the coin faster since more coins would be dumped but not enough buyers are available.
I think the key is to stabilize first. get rid of all the drama, and focus on development. get a new dev who is first able
to implement all the stuff which is missing (reward assignment in a proper way integrated, marketplace etc.).

then you can think about new features.

Totally,  absolutely agree.

Check out wallet.burst.city, reward assignment is already integrated.

well, maybe it would be a good idea to clone the git repository, check in the changes and make a new release?
Not every release needs to have a killer feature. Sometimes it's ok, to just have a few tweaks and stuff.

But people just want active and steady development.

The main reason I want to stick with Burst was the possibility to use data storage on the plots, the ideal of it and being able to mine still. I know Storj was once interested in doing something with Burst, but the dev seem not to follow up on it. Since Storj is in beta of their latest tech, would be nice to see Burst or some kind of PoC coin do a project with Siacoin before they explode.

[zakorus]

For some time  burst price  located at the bottom, What are the odds to return to 70 satoshi level?(I bought the that level)

Burst is truly at a crossroads in the next couple of weeks/months, that all depends on the community on how it should evolve to survive and grow.

I like your quote" I want more innovation! think b4 u dev a coin!" 90% of devs need to be like that....lol

burst.ninja sems to stuck at block 141093, while other pools are at 141190

@taek feels that poc is flawed. I have looked and looked and talked to people....and nope, can't figure out the flaws he refers to   He is quite skeptical at our netsize as well....seems to think that the netsize can't possibly be 8pb....well, we all know it's legit. I think it's just that we have way more than Sia does

As far as a small wallet release with a few nice fixes, well, not a bad idea, i did clone the repo, and may do a few changes in the wallet and make a release. Will have to talk to a few people about it.

ATM I only have a few hours / week for Burst, and am not sure how to spend my time.

There are a few options for me...I'm not a great dev, so this is about what I'm capable of / interested in. It could all take absolutely ages!

• Rebuild the wallet with electron. This will allow us to have a wallet which can install any operating system, and can run standalone from the web. I will also make it way easier to modify, allowing devs to easily work with Burst. This would initially be a very simple release with little functionality. Hopefully I can collaborate with daWallet on this project and implement mining/plotting functionality.
  
• Work on a new website. I think this is well overdue. With the release I will also release the official wallet with some small mods (catbref’s wallet.burst.city mods and some of my own). The new site would be run on github pages, making it easy for anyone to edit the site, and would also have github powered docs, allowing us all to easily make and edit guides. For this to work I’ll need the community to get behind this.
  
• Build some web apps which use the blockchain for NXT, and then through this advertise Burst. This would be the option which would take the longest, and would be the most difficult, but may have some good payoffs  in perhaps nxt devs getting involved here.
  

At the moment I am planning on going with option 2, the new website, but would love to hear what the community wants me to do, and whether there are other things I should do.

I don't think that this is necessary. Think more as hard disk mining a cheaper machine. To degrade it to a toy would not benefit at all.

I´ve been here, with BURST comunity from the early september 14. I write infrequently  because I´m spanish and  I´ve a very bad english, but I read the BURST treath every week. I´ve been mining BURST with some Tb from then and I buy some others BURST. Nowadays I own about 4 million BURST, but I spend much more than the actual value.

I´ve just read Crowetic document and I DON´T agree in some of the questions.

i) I can´t understand the reason to change the reward schema. I, like many others, think that if the BURST provided is unlimited, BURST will have in a not very long term a zero value.

ii)I´ll, also, not change the reward scheme for creating a donation fund, it would be created for the pool administrators and major solo miners, giving the 5% or 10% to that fund for each block found.

iii) and the most important, I DO NOT AGREE that the person who has been blackmailing us over the last six months and is the main cause of the lower price of the BURST, will become the maindev. He has not shown at any time has the capabilities to perform the job.

BUSRT wallet and BURST blockchain has no problems to be cahnged, the maindev must be someone with high capacities in Smart Contracts (AT) that is the great diference of this coin with all the other ones. We need to improve AT´s and generate enthusiasm in people to use this currency, because BURST it´s one of the most disruptive and high-tech coins and those are our most valuable asset.

I give my vote for maindev to vbcs, helped for someone with java and/or NTX skill.

That´s my opinon

I spoke with vbcs by PM but unfortunatelly he is not able to fully work on burst.

I continue to mining burst on dev v2 pool. In near future i will buy more storage to secure blokchain and "borrow" some space from IT department where i work.

So this coin offically dead?

[duncan_idaho]

No it's not dead but stuck in development. Need some time to regroup. Vbcs will still be maintaining the AT part of BURST.

Same, only thing is I am not against unlimited supply, I am for freezing block reward and always having it the same. This is unlimited but predictable, and as time goes on the inflation percentage would decrease. This would solve the issue of major miners at the start holding all the coins, but not make the reward increase so that the price drops.

Why doesn't someone make a thread over on https://burstforum.com and make a poll to see who agrees with what? Or maybe we should make an AT for a poll, will look into it in a few days, heading off and am gonna be busy for a bit now
