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

[_HeIrAkI_]

stabilize site? what site? cos when your local wallet syncing,synced and sharing=you can be on bad fork ....
im curious what FORK will be good,cos any from all have to be right

Not site. Network! The forks have been caused by wallet crashes. and when miners have their disconections from the network they fork if they continue to mine.

i was thikn site=network  
wallet didnt caused fork network

[_HeIrAkI_]

i was thikn site=network  
wallet didnt caused fork network

Yes it has. However it has been a "spam" attack on the network that caused all wallets to get a LOAD of unconfimed transactions. wallets have been redistributing theese transactions to all other wallets and make them crash due to out of memory problems or they have began to be so slow that they cant keep up with the network. When a miners wallet looses connection to network and forge blocks by its own it forks. And when alot of miners looses connections we have massive forks. This is what have happened. Not all wallets have crashed.

Which pool we can mine now? Seem burst.ninja on wrong chain.

[RedRockMining]

I've been using Burstcoin Wallet AIO 0.3.9.7 for Windows, but the wallet is mostly crashing/hanging even though with some work I can mine (currently pool.burstcoin.sk), but I can't get my current wallet balance. Anyone know what's up with the burst-team.us domain?

A short Introduction to BURST's POC mining

Burst uses a new algorithm for proof of hdd capacity (POC) mining. Miners pre-generate chunks of data known as 'plots' which are then saved to disk. The number of plots you store is effectively your mining speed. Every block the miner will skim through the saved plots, and come up with an amount of time until it is able to mine a block if another block hasn't yet been found. After reading through the plots is complete, your hardware can idle until the newest block.

Miners generate and cache chunks of data known as 'plots', which are divided into 4096 portions known as 'scoops'. Plots are generated by taking a public address and a nonce, then hashing it, pre-appending the resulting hash, repeating the hash-pre-append cycle many times, and then hashing the whole thing and xor'ing the last hash with the whole thing.

Plots are staggered together so chunks of the same scoop number are together, then written to disk.
Each block has a generation signature which is derived only from the previous block's generation signature and miner, so it is difficult to manipulate.

When mining, the scoop number to be used for a block is derived from the generation signature and the block height, so the miner reads all relevant scoops(each plot will have 1 relevant scoop, and staggering allows for larger sequential read with less seeking) Only 0.024% of the stored data will need to be read each block.

The generation signature is hashed with each scoop. 8 bytes are taken from the hash, then divided by a scaling factor (inverse difficulty). The resulting number is a number of seconds. If that many seconds passes since the last block without a new one, the address/nonce combination used to generate that plot/scoop is eligible to announce a new block.

The miner's hardware can just sit idle until either that time or a new block.The address/nonce is included in the block as proof of eligibility, and the block is signed by that address.

Technically, this mining process can be mined POW-style, however mining it as intended will yield thousands of times the hashrate, and your hardware will sit idle most of the time. Continuously hashing until a block is found is unnecessary, as waiting long enough will cause any nonce to eventually become valid.

Flow chart of the process
The plotting part is done once for each nonce, and the results are saved to disk, and the mining reads the saved data from disk.

Which pool we can mine now? Seem burst.ninja on wrong chain.

I think this pool is on right chain https://burst.cryptoguru.org/ atleast i can see payouts in my wallet

[cico76]

I'm currently using http://pool.burstcoin.ro and I receive payments. (1.2.9b)

As soon as the situation we'll be more clear probably I'll switch back to 1.2.8.

Hope devs will continue supporting BURST !

Have a nice day, guys!

You should not go back to 1.2.8. instead use one of the other version like 1.2.8mu.

hello do you know? Can i ploting start at 1 000 000 000 nonce?

sure you can...
i use 1 000 000 000 for d:\
i use 2 000 000 000 for e:\
i use 3 000 000 000 for f:\
and so on...
it's easy and you don't risk to overlap files

Hi there again. Situation seems to be normal and stable.
BURST team did very good job.
Thanks for everybody shared infos to how fix the wallet.
Let's keep on mining and supporting this very good project !!!

I love information like this from first hand. Even with problems, on market was very quiet - I mean no one sold. After this news, i'm sure that this is the best moment to buy more burst!

Can anybody tell me if one should use Burstcoin-fuseburst-1.2.8-v4 or the 1.2.9b wallet at the moment? I want to start mining, but cant get past downloading blockchain. If I will successfully download blockchain in beta 1.2.9b, can I copy it's file to the 1.2.8-v4?

I can not condone a client that can moderate the network which 1.2.8-v4 seems to be doing. It has blacklist setttings. Even if the intentions are good that client should never have reached the public view. Dawallet has stated that we no longer should be using 1.2.9b since it has served its purpose. I sugest you go with muhatzgs version 1.2.8mu that can be found compiled here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7C2w7UN4dvRRGhadUdmN3QxV00/view?usp=sharing

Guys,please I still need some help to start solo mining.I have changed reward recipient,and my configuration looks like:
{
   "Mode" : "solo",
   "Server" : "127.0.0.1",
   "Port": 8125,

   "UpdaterAddr" : "127.0.0.1",
   "UpdaterPort": "8125",

   "InfoAddr" : "127.0.0.1",
   "InfoPort": "8125",

   "EnableProxy": false,
   "ProxyPort": 8126,

   "Paths":["f:\\plots","E:\\plots","G:\\plots"],
   "CacheSize" : 40000,
   "ShowMsg" : false,
   "ShowUpdates" : false,

   "Debug": true,
   "UseHDDWakeUp": true,

   "SendBestOnly": true,
   "TargetDeadline": 2592000,

   "WinSizeY": 60
}                       
But when I start miner,it does not read the plots.I see just message "Press any key to contionue" When I press the key,miner closes.
Is something wrong with my configuration?

Heh, I guess it is OK to fork an entire chain to fix the DAO, but it is not OK to blacklist a malicious actor on the network. Who would've figured

Pardon my sarcasm but here is no substantial difference between these two actions.
I am aware that it is against some people's beliefs on what a decentralized network should be, but in this case I do not think another option existed. Especially in such a short term.
