Alright, have a v2 pool running at http://178.62.39.204:8121/
The v1 pool will be converted to v2 in a day or 2, but setting up the migration would have delayed this release, and only running that one on v2 could result in a dangerously high portion of network hashrate on one pool, so it's better to split it for now anyway.

Usage:

You will need the pocminer_pool posted previously when the v1 pool was launched: https://mega.co.nz/#!7hwHQJLZ!-waC7CwWeMStkdAwjEVbew1fN_YqeZDRWMWfCylaNPo
Reward reassignment has not been integrated into the wallet gui yet, however an extra html page was included in the 1.0.3 release that you can use. http://localhost:8125/rewardassignment.html
Below where it says set reward recipient, fill in your passphrase, and put the pool's burst- address where it says recipient, and submit. This will have a fee of 1 Burst. It should come up with a page of a bunch of details you won't care about if everything is good.
Once the transaction is in a valid block + 3 confirms, you should be able to use the pool. You can check the users list on the pool to make sure that your numerical account id is there(your generate address)
Edit the pool's ip/port into the run_mine file for pocminer_pool.
Rename or move your passphrases.txt file, since pocminer_pool will try to solo instead if it sees a correct passphrase for those plots.

Starting target deadline is 75k
PPLNS
When your balance hits 500 burst you get paid.

All users who have not upgraded to 1.0.3 are now on a bad fork

V2 Pool allows you to mine with your solo plots. You do NOT have to regenerate plots if you have solo plots. v1 pool users can keep mining without doing anything. the v1 -> v2 migration for v1 pool users will be transparent to them, and not require them to do anything.

but the pool v1's target deadline is still 50K

Question for data storage specialist

I have network array EMC VNX3100 with about 14TB of storage. Is it good idea to share it to VMware esxi storage adapter via NFS and mount it to for example ubuntu virtual machine and use it for burst ? How many RAM i have to allocate do 3TB plot under linux ?

vms stored in esxi on nfs wont run quite well. but if you really want to store the machine on network you can export the storage as iscsi target and add this to the esxi storage pool.
it would be much more efficient to run your ubuntu from local storage and only mount your mining or plot folder from the emc using nfs.
 

[callmejack]

You only need one client running. It is listening on 127.0.0.1:8125 and every miner can connect to that client.

What you may need is one miner per drive.

If I want to connect from another computer what should I change in config file?

there is this variable in the config pointing to localhost only by default:
# Hosts from which to allow http/json API requests, if enabled.
nxt.allowedBotHosts=

i did'nt manage to add whole subnets and did'nt wanted to loose time for reasearch so i simply added my miner ips seperated by a semicolon.

Let the plotting commence

Tmux bro...

Got 3.4 TB I'm was able to get 3.5K BURST per day so at current rate of 0.00000650 BTC will be able to get 0.02275 BTC per day. Most profitable coin I'm ever mined.

the diff may be rise again, but even at 0.01 you would makes a good profit

actually i don't care much i come late to this, i'm waiting for the next poc coin

Hi, I hope this was not answered before as it's hard for me to follow the complete thread at the current pace...

Regarding mining on the pool (v2):

The miner submits the found share(s) only AFTER it has finished checking all his plots, right?

If a new block arrives after he found a share, but before he could submit it (=reading was not finished), he will submit this/these share(s) after completing the run for the new block.
Are they credited as valid shares by the pool or are they discared as "stale"?
Does the result "share/s received" really only mean "received" or also "accepted and counted"?

Would be good to know as this happens quite often with larger amounts of plot data and not too performant miners.
I tried to figure it out by watching the sharecount in the pool stats, but it's quite hard because of PPLNS.

Thanks!

i got this when trying to mine. I am using pool v2 , plotting and mining at the same time.

Hi Dev!

Have you seen on #Bittrex (irc.freenode.net)?


(08:28) <Burst_> bittrex-rami: bittrex-richie has the burstcoin dev contacted you? How's the integration going on?
(08:29) <Burst_> problems with the code?
(08:41) <@bittrex-richie> Burst_: its not a problemw ith the code
(08:41) <@bittrex-richie> Burst_: we were just hoping they suportd the new NXT model which they dont
(08:42) <Burst_> ah
(08:42) <Burst_> so i guess it would be still a while then
(08:44) <Burst_> bittrex-richie: so i guess it would still take some time to get things worked out?
(08:51) <@bittrex-richie> shrug.. not sure yet..


Please go on irc and speak with them! It's the only way to contact them quickly! If they'll ask you BTC for adding Burst no problem, but first you have to know what they want! Community is here waiting for you! There are lot of big wallet dumping their coin on c-cex and no buy support.. Don't let your coin die!

These actually haven't been asked before.

The block height is sent with each share, and stales are discarded.

share/s received only confirms that data was sucessfully received and dumped into the processing queue

If you often have difficulty reading through everything, you should try using larger stagger sizes or using dcct's optimize tool. You will get higher read speeds when using higher stagger sizes.

How many coins in circulation?

8500 * 10000

question

is it necessary to run wallet when mining on pool v2 ?

Nope, you can ignore the errors.

I'm trying to use the Linux plot generator which folder I have on an external NTFS hard drive, but when I type ./plot it gives me a "Permission Denied" error does anyone know how to fix this? Anyone know what might be causing the problem? I tried using "sudo" and "sudo su" with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Use ntfs-3g, not kernel ntfs. kernel ntfs is read only

Pls poste the fastab line for the mount.

Some scumbag hacked into my account and withdrew my funds, apparently my passphrase is too weak. Is there any way for me to change passphrase without having to replot my entire Hard Drive? 

i think you must replot all, cuz your adress is generated by passphrase.

do you post your ardress in the forum? (maybe asking help to configure plot or miner)
do you use some unofficial tool?

maybe this help

For two days I began to mine this coin, but there are some things I don't understand.

I see in the dashboard:
Balance: 10'566 BURST
Unconfirmed Balance: 10'566 BURST
Guaranteed Balance: 0 BURST
Effective Balance: 0 BURST

I see that 10'566 are composed by 566 fee.

Unconfirmed Balance often varies from 10'566 to 10'433 and then went to 10'000 then again at 10'400, is this normal?

Moreover from two days BURST are in Balance Unconfirmed but they have not gone never in Effective Balance. "Recent Transactions" shows "No transactions yet."

I have some problem or it should work in this way?

unconfirmed is not important...
check the thread... older older posts... only confirmed are important and you can neglect uncconfirmed

Hey guys -

So I have it generating plots now on both 4TB drives but it is taking forever! Both drives are at 60GB~ after 3 hours It's gonna take over 5 days to fill 8TB at this stage.

Is there ANY way at all that I can get this to speed up? I am running a i5 3570k @ 4.6 GHZ with 8GB of DDR3-1866.

Some other questions:

 - Will it slow down the generation if I set it to mine at the same time on both drives? Or is that the best and most profitable thing to do?

 - If I stop the generation; can I just start it back up again later or do I have to change code in places?

 - If I generate a 200GB plot for a start just to test, can I then go on to make another larger plot? i.e. can I have many of these plot files in the plot folder and they wll all be used by the miner - as opposed to having to use one massive 3.6 TB file?

 - Lastly, Is there any way to get the job done with the GPU? I have a HD 7990 just sitting there and would love to get it working!

Side note: Is there are guide for running Linux on Windows and generating blocks using the faster Linux software? And if so, can i continue to use the generated file I have in my plots folder or must I start again?

Thanks so much!
