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

[Erkallys]

I'm running quite a few Seagate 4 and 5 TB external drives, been running quite a while without issue.

I bought them because the price was right  . As far as I can tell BURST has done zero damage to them.


Everything is still running exactly the way it should be.

The same thing here. I have a Samsung M3 1 TB (yeah, not so much...) external drive and he is still working like a charm after near 1 year of mining with at least 3 hours a day.

I bought recently four 8TB HDD of Segate. One was broken directly, one has displayed an error after about four weeks in RAID.
Two and a exchanged run until now well so far.

The 8TBs, were they the "archive" model or the later released "desktop" version? I heard that the first one have had massive problems for regular pc usage.


Kinda funny with all this knowledge of HDDs we gathered after almost 15 months

[yeponlyone]

BTW, every time I disassemble an old laptop (manufactured like from 2000-2005) 9 out of 10 times, they have Hitachi HDDs. And God dammit, I'm still to find a malfunctional Hitachi after all those years since creating them. Too bad they are too small to mine with

The BURST price can really use a pump now, the price is pretty low and it won't stay this low for long time because after we will get more projects on the start, it will start to rush up.

Any plans to promote BURST? I got one if anybody is interested, and it doesn't cost anybody anything.

I also buy the cheapest ones. I have had drives fail from time to time, but it seems to be different over time, what company make the bad batches, hard to predict, almost all my drives have lasted long enough to become too small so i replace them with larger ones bf they go R.I.P. I'd guess my average drive lasts 5 to 7 yrs bf i discard it for being too small.

The super cheap "archive" drives must be used with some care.  I have found that if you throw too much data at them too fast, then they totally freeze up, sometimes crashing windows 10 along with themselves. They can go silent and not show up in disk manager for hours if they first get stressed out. Not sure if it is thermal or cache/firmware issues or both.

in any way, if i don't push data to them too hard ( no copy these 4TB plots onto this 8TB drive kinda operations )  then they work just fine..  i use the free program FastCopy to copy stuff in a slow pace onto the drives ( fastcopy can be set up to run at reduced speed, i use 50% setting)

when an archive drive has been stressed to become unstable, even reading from it is a bitch, it cannot sustain any kind of reasonable transfer rate.. but if you keep it on for some hours or longer, it tend to sort itself out again. Also filling the drive up completely seems to make it go berserk.

Haven't tried to have burst plots on archive drives, but i guess it will be allright perhaps as long as you leave some room on the drive to make the firmware happy.  Don't copy your plots over at full speed though, they choke on 100 mb/s for more than 20-40GB at a time.  If you copy slowly ( using fastcopy or similar ) you can copy hundreds of MB wo issues

With small chunks of data ( 5-10 MB ) you can copy as fast as the SATA allows you to, they are fine with that.  As I understand it, they use part of the platters for intermediate storage, and as long as you don't fill that up, they are pretty fast.

I just solo mined my burstcoin # 4 million.. hooray for me and my trusty drives ;-)

[pinballdude]

shameless plug, but with a burst twist :

burst bounty.

if you place top-25 in the weekly ranking list (free to play game) at www.betonfinance.com then when you mail with the admin to claim winnings, add your burst addresss and a note to the admin staff to ask Dennis to pay burst bounty, i will send you 10000 burst as an extra prize.

This will last until i decide it is too expensive ;-)

tnx for trying out our game - feedback is welcome, we're learning.

It was the archive one.
But the first drive was broken on first connection, so there wasn't a fault on my side.
The second drive was broken after a short power cut (but there wasn't any writeoperation active at this moment).

I never hab problems while writing to this disks, as long as you consider that these hard drives, because of the technology, are a bit slower at writing than conventional drives.

I don't even load the wallet more than once every few months at most, but I'm 99% sure amount + fee represents the amount of burst being transferred in that block, fee is the total amount of fees the miner would collect, and # TX is the number of transactions in that block. Aren't you supposed to be like a BURST expert, Elmit? How the hell do you not know this? Is this a trick question? Am I taking crazy pills right now?!

Very simple.

1) Put BURST & this thread in your personal space below the avatar, and in your signature, with link to this thread.
2) Put a BURST picture as your profile picture
3) Post in different threads too. I noticed that people who post here only post here, they should post in other threads too, with 1) and 2) setup, so that you can promote burst
4) Talk in other threads about BURST, like many cryptocurrency threads.


Do all of them from 1-4, and BURST will have more users. It's free, and it's effective.

the archive drives use firmware controlled smr tech. simply explained during the write operations already written blocks get "rewritten" which requires some additional time for the drive to complete.
this is required due to the higher density which brings greater read performance. during tests with twelve drives in a raid i experienced kernel timeouts on almost any write load.
even a simple mirror had worse performance due to "synchronized" writes on two drives (the md driver waited for both drives to become ready again).
the best setup with continous write performance of around 80mb/s i archive with glusterfs which has each drive configured as own brick.
within the smart settings those drives dont offer much settings to gain better performance. once the data is written to it it may be a good thing to put them with the smart controls into a read only drive.
this prevents the os to update metadata on the drive and may have internal affords which hits the performance in a positive way hard.

That's is what makes this thread so exciting.
I could not spot the answer to my question, but insult = the best advertisement for BURSTs, right?
So, newcomers will know to stay away from this coins, because asking anything will bring up such "non-answers".
It is not a shame NOT to know it, but then just keep your "non-answer" for yourself and let people talk who might know the answer.

So, you do not even load the wallet anymore. Means you gave up mining, give up using BURSTs, ...., or you are not interested anymore in the balance, or is it just, that you do not know what you see there?

Now, explain me the details to it:
What means 0+0, 1+1, ...

Does these now more frequently "0+0" mean, that the coin is used less and less?

Do you want to say that you bought "crazy pills" with BURSTs?

Well i`d leave the public relations to more veteran people than myself. I was just suggesting that a small promotional trick like that could bring more users here.



We are now ready to expand the INCOME fund, I will start the NXT branch of it tomorrow after I downloaded the full blockchain (it might take some time). After we hit NXT, expect the fund to grow faster, I`ve already contacted some asset managers from NXT that would be happy to invest in us.
