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

[omgbossis21]

30k burst for .1 here   Didn't find another block yet,  Were on block 2182 last one I found was 1921 with 850gb of space.  #40 something on charts.  Keeping the post block counts up for people who are interested.  I do have 2 miners running, one for 50gb plot and one for the 800gb.

WTS 330k Burst for 2Btc

i give you 1 btc for that

Sry but I won't sell for that price

This coin has just to many bugs to be that expensive

too many bugs ,,,which coin have no bug first,this is totally new,only a week out, of course there are some bugs to be test by miners, and i don't think this bug affect so much, it is the same for everyone, if you think there are too many bugs, why you still offer 1btc to buy this coin? just buy the coin which have no bugs! lots of copy coin,so many sha256 copy and scrypt copy coins ,their code have little bugs now!
ps: i also think 330k for 2btc seems a little expencive for now,not for its "too many bugs",but for its difficulty.. 2btc can buy 12tb hdd..

Is it OK for mining if I'll set 2 computers with same wallet (computers don't know about each other) and set, for example, plots 1-1000 on first computer and 1001-2000 plots on second one?

I'm feeling rich  

We need more people mining this! All of you should spread this thread! I've opened one in my native language! Do the same if you can and add infos in your sign! If difficulty raises and more people join, this coin will fly more than now! Also tweet about it!!

I mentioned earlier today that I was going to do a redesign of the Burst UI + a new logo. Well now I've completed both of those, take a look at the screenshots below (Please let me know if there is anything I've left out or if there's anything odd in the design) :









Here is the link to the files for the UI : https://github.com/Wulfcastle/Burst-UI

How to Install :

1. Download this repo to your PC
2. Navigate to the root of your Burst folder, e.g. C:\Burst\burst_1.0.0
3. Copy and Paste the "html" folder from this repo over the existing "html" folder in your Burst root folder, overwriting previous files.

Note :

This redesign only changes the CSS & HTML files that are used on the front-end of the NRS server that runs Burst, no back-end code has been edited, nor has any of the core functionality been edited in any way.

Just looking for some feedback, what do you guys think about this logo?

I love it!

i like it too! thanks for sharing

Just read the first 5 pages here, then some random pages after that, like page 40, 50, 60, 95,96,97, etc.

Not sure what to think of it.

Here's by far the most important question about BURST coin - How much money can I get out of it?
If it doesn't get me lots of money, then it's just another useless crapcoin with a different algorithm.

Is it ASIC proof since it uses hard drives?

There's no need for the computer to even have a GPU?  Does it make any difference if you're running a Sempron 145 CPU or a top end i7?

This could create a run on large hard drives, like the huge surge of buying GPUs last winter?

Just out of laziness, I'd like it better if I could plug a bunch of hard drives into one computer and let it use them all as one.

I've got a bunch if laptop hard drives laying around, mostly 80 and 160 GB units, might as well put them to use.  IF this crapcoin is even worth the effort.

Is this coin on any exchanges yet?

[busminer]

WTS 60k burst pm for offers please.

[tricass]

Look now at the blocks mined! I've seen lots of time that there is a big chance to hit two blocks in a row or between few blocks! Even if you have a small plot.. Yesterday I've hit two blocks in a row without low deadlines with 571GB on my notebook.. Just luck!?

Same now.. Two blocks in a row: 2155 - 2156! Like 2102 - 2103, or 2098 - 2099! Look at the blockchain!

Dev, is it normal?!

i wonder whether the passphrase ppl are using has any baring on the luck ppl are experiencing. i for one used lastpass to generate a 100 character passphrase consisting of only characters that look like random combination of words joined together.

it have no matter whether you use what cpus, cpu only affects on the how many time you will spent on creating plots., and after finish creating plots, it will determined buy your hdd's capacity, and it will have nothing to do with asic miners at all.
for how many money you will get from this coin,,i think it defined by how many times you will spend until you will find a coin by your 240GB,,it is too small for now, and you can wait the pools out,,

I can assure you: The passphrase has nothing to do with your chances of finding a block.

About the GPU issue:
I've just finished an OpenCL-Test-Implementation. On an R280X it takes ~22s for 10k nonces, assuming the final hashes are pre-calculated. With a block time of 5 minutes that GPU equals ~35GB of disk space while consuming 200W of power. No real alternative.

so ..,asic still can be produced to mine this coin?

your code would be perfect to generate the plotfiles but i am not aware if java supports opencl in a way it is useful.
http://www.jocl.org/

This library offers Java-Bindings for OpenCL that are very similar to the original OpenCL API. The functions are provided as static methods, and semantics and signatures of these methods have been kept consistent with the original library functions, except for the language-specific limitations of Java. The OpenCL API may be very verbose at some points, and this is not hidden or simplified, but simply offered by JOCL as-it-is.

The algorithm takes quite a lot of memory, 256kb per thread, so its from the ASIC perspective closer to Litecoin/Scrypt than to Bitcoin.

The Scrypt miners took years to get where they are now, rough estimate: factor 100 (same power consumption). So thats 3.5TB with 200W of power in BURST.

Why even use Java? It'll be a small C tool that generates exactly the same files. But - its still far from being done.

burst is getting famous day by day and the price is also increasing through good pace

..., we can always adjust the miningplot constants to increase the ram. Using a larger buffer, but decreasing the hash cap by the correct amounts could result in roughly the same computation complexity as exists now, but with a much higher ram requirement per thread. This would be negligible for pcs, but could cause gpus to not be able to use all their cores due to lack of ram.

I didn't say I had 240 GB of free space, I said I had a bunch of 160 and 80 gb laptop drives I could plug in and use.  But I'd have to run a separate instance of mining for each hard drive, correct?

Can someone summarize the important points of this coin for me in a single post?  I've been reading the topic and getting a bit here and a bit there.

how to now from a plot file size wich nonce was last one ?

[dcct]

how to now from a plot file size wich nonce was last one ?

- Plots dont need to be in order
- Just pick a nonce big enough so they dont overlap

Thanks!
ps
bigger then 10.000.000 will be ok ?

Sure! 64 bits to use.

I'm gonna give this a try, is there a one-click install available?
