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

[abctc]

..  I'm buying up to 200K BURST, PM me with offers.

- hi, you can buy 83`000 BURST at 0.003474 BTC/1000FIM at decentralized Asset Exchange right now, and you can place some buy orders at your price as well.

So is it 3474 Satoshis per 1000 BURST?

Thats actually 347400 sats per 1k burst. Or 374.4 satoshis/burst. I think, it's too early for me to do math

So basically, 0.3744 BTC per 100K BURST?

- yes, you can see here or here or here.  At the last place you can buy that sell order even for BTC, without installing Nxt wallet, or using Nxt public nodes.

if i read well 347400satoshi for 1000 burst!!!

[callmejack]

By the way do i need big plots or can i just make 10 million small plots ?

this depends on your filesystem. i currently work with 11tb of 2gb plots on linux.
i am not sure how much time overhead is required to open and close the files during the search.

[unsoindovo]

Luxe just a simple request.
when the disk is full, run_generate program delete plots folder and restart.
so i lost 500gb of plot!!!
can you release an update like this...
DISK FULL --> run_generate stop itself without delete plot folder!!!

thanks!!!!

has it removed all (if there were more than 1) files in the plot folder or only the one it was creating?

I Have just one big file for each plots folder. So it delete the only one.

Hey everyone

Some of you may know me as the person behind the new Burst UI. I've also gone ahead and decided to redesign the Burst OP. I've decided to put emphasis on the stand-out features of Burst. Let me know what you think

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 block. The miner will be released a few hours before launch to give miners time to start generating plots.



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 eligable 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 eligability, 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.

Shoddily made flow chart of the general process. Does not include caching plot to disk and retrieving them:




Basic pool support
Improved pool support
BurstId authentication system

Just bumping this to the new page.

[WolfOf]

it's realy nice

but,please don't reply such big images. it makes topic hard to read from a small devices such as smartphones.

[luxe]

Luxe just a simple request.
when the disk is full, run_generate program delete plots folder and restart.
so i lost 500gb of plot!!!
can you release an update like this...
DISK FULL --> run_generate stop itself without delete plot folder!!!

thanks!!!!

hmm .. just looked at the source:
https://github.com/BurstProject/pocminer/blob/master/src/pocminer/GenerateSupr.java
on the first look it seams that just following is needed, surrounding/replacing line 36 to close the output stream on exception ... but i don't have the time to test it out right now ... sry.

Code:

try{
 out.write(outbuffer);
}catch(Exception e){
 out.close();
 getContext().system().shutdown();
}

[daWallet]

It's really good. I love it. Nice symbols and so on. Someone should also replace that scheme that causes eye cancer with something burstin' beautiful

BURST for sale... If you want to avoid the NXT exchange, and complete a basic BTC for BURST exchange PM me...

I have 300K + Available.

30K lots, 50K lots, 100K lots, and even 300K lots if needed. PM me, Thanx!

Can use escrow, or break it up into smaller tarnsactions and straight trade. Let me know.

***I know people had a hard enough time setting up the BURST client. And while I personally use NXT and am familiar with the AE, some people might not be and don't want to go through the conversion to NXT, and then converting NXT to BTC, and then withdrawing BTC and incurring fees, with exchange rates fluctuating, etc...Then I have immediate BURST available***

[drumingspz]

How do I know that the id file I generated in my miner program is tied to my wallet account?  I haven't seen anything that solidly states it is.  When I open the localhost:8125 now, it opens to the correct BURST account number, but if I find a block how do I know I got it?  How do I even tell if I have found a block?

CGminer and SGminer had the Difficulty / Best Share numbers so that made it easy to tell.

if you login into web wallet localhost:8125 and click on NRS a pop up with all data appear...
difficulty information too.

Difficulty is currently 329.7 TRILLION.  Is this supposed to encourage me to mine?

No, obviously! In fact i'm asking myself why you are still here.. Don't you think that maybe your words aren't the best for someone that is helping you? People like you, spreading shit everywhere, must be ignored. The how-to is in the first page, lot of us was able to set up everything without any trouble, wallet is working, miner too and every 4 minutes someone find a block, so read, study, try, test and stop mucking up this thread.

+1 - Go away troll.  You are no longer welcome.

i'm not able to modify code for winzoz and recompile it.
i hope you update code for next release!

thank you again luxe!

you could just notify dev, that harden code at this point would make sense ... i don't even have git skills right now or know how to use github ... have to figure that out first :-)

Looks good Wulfcastle.
