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

[SpeedDemon13]

Plus most exchanges want a coin with a working block explorer and pool at least. This coin still needs more PR and organization in general still. Especially the mining instructions and optimization, poorly organized in my opinion.

Getting a pool together would be great

Its been 48 hours and still no block.
Im waiting to see if this actually works before getting ahold of several harddrives.

Same here. It is cheaper to buy a bunch of hdd's compared to gpu cards, but results have to be worth it first. I haven't found a block since I started 60 hours ago on a 500gb drive. But I keep seeing people with smaller drives find blocks and/or find block within 6 hours of starting mining on a hdd. Luck or have people found the optimal setting to mine with?

You did start the wallet and the miner - right?

Trying to get on an exchange at this stage is far too early. There isnt even any pool, a logo etc. Hitting an exchange would be the wrong move in the moment

+1

Be patient!

Got all 3 bats working(run,generate and wallet), I am technically inclined and Cisco CCNA certified. I just barely got the plot to finish a couple minutes ago. I did a 400GB plot on the 500gb drive.

BTW this coin is a bit nerdish , kinda like cyrptonote -  even i had trouble just opening the file and clicking start
how are we going to make it main stream if most user here have trouble with it - let alone mainstream

or do we just want to trade it between the 100 so user that have it.

I don't get what one thing has to do with another?
Most of traders/investors are not miners...
When people will understand the power of PoC, they should invest their money and start a market.
I think that for a start the procedure is nice... and a lot of help is given in this thread from various users.
These kind of experiences make it worthwhile to be part of the crypto community...

I'm convinced that more PoC coins will pop up soon.
BTW.. I don't have programming skills, but if someone from here would like to collobarate, I invite you to PM me.
I have a coin release project going on and PoC sound just the right thing for it...

We need blockchain and exchange. Someone contacted with exchanges?

Everyone of us needs to tweet Bittrex! They will add the coin if they see lot of interest! I've tweeted, do the same!!

why are so many people so urge to sell, saying sell and sell, this coin has no pool yet, and even no logo, how can a coin with no logo lunch the exchange platform? i think dev will do these step by step , at least this coin only came out within five days, he has so many works to do ,, only what you think just mine and sell and sell,,if this coin have some steady pools and lots of miners, and a wonderful design concept, it will lunch the exchange platform sooner or later,i think there is nothing to worry about, all these need  time , need one and one step to develop.

I don't understand either, this isn't power consuming when compared to gpu mining and only uses a small fraction of power. I understand with gpu mining because you have to make a quick ROI for hardware and power cost, but this is low cost for both power cost and hardware.

I would rather have this coin organized in general, have PR started, a website, roadmap, future services/products and then an exchange.

My guess is that you should avg at least one block per day, no sure way to tell without knowing the diff though -.-

Yes I started with the server so I can access the web wallet then I ran run generate and while that was going I ran the mining bat. The run generate has long finished and closed itself.

Solo mining is highly luck base compare to pool mining. Plus, there is no way to know the diff or whatever is like a diff for this coin. So, there is no way to calculate block per day.

Sure, you take your own hashrate (plotsize)  and avg the blocks per day, break it down -> avg blocks per day.

Doesn't really work though because the net is in its main growing stage and my hashrate is expending too, i can post some numbers after the weekend though, i'll be done with plot generation tomorrow, running 4700GB

[ArnMan]

We need to get together one big chart of settings so we can optimize our setup for the most efficient performance according to how big and many harddrive(s) we have.

when the generation plot Mining as effective?

That average will work for a week, then it will change next week because all the big miners will have there storage servers mining. That will surely make mining difficulty for the smaller miner. Gpu mining all over again...LOL

I do plan to do a RAID 5 with 4 drives, once I see I can get a couple of blocks with my current setup.

We need to get together one big chart of settings so we can optimize our setup for the most efficient performance according to how big and many harddrive(s) we have.

That is a very good idea, maybe put up a Google docs spreadsheet that can be linked to the OP.

No sure if it definitive like gpu/cpu mining. It might be, but it hasn't been exactly elaborated on.

Raid5 won't help much since you even sacrifice one disk, if you set it up just for mining go jbod or raid0...

And yes, people are expanding and still building their systems, plot generation is awfully slow.

i've made excel worksheet to estimate avg blocks per day for 1 TB, which is based on my blocks and this guy with 16 TB plot, i watch my blocks, his and number of last block, if more people get their data it could be more accurate (size of plot and ID), now it gives me 1,44block/TB/day

And yes, people are expanding and still building their systems, plot generation is awfully slow.

JBOD and RAID0 have no form of parity. JBOD can be recovered compared to RAID0, but RAID5 has parity and more performance than JBOD. One disk sacrifice is better than losing all the data possible, especially on RAID0. Originally I was going to do a RAID0/JBOD, but after thinking about it, I didn't want the chance of failure. Good thing about JBOD, you can mix and match hdd's, and use their full capacity. As with RAID, you ideally want to match identical hdd's.
