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

[Prototyp]

Hey guys, the faucet seriously needs a large refill.. http://burstfaucet.com/

 Reward is also changed to 2, from 10

I send coins.

[burstcoin]

I have a concern about the Burstcoin mining process and it possibly being susceptible to selfish mining attacks. I'm hoping that the dev, or someone more familiar with the mining process can alleviate my concerns.

Basically, my concern is that a miner might be able to artificially increase their hashrate by manipulating which transactions get included in a block. A malicious miner could find a block, but only include a set of specially created transactions such that it ensures (or at least increases the odds) they find the next block as well.

Am I missing something, or is this a real concern?

Unlike most coins that try to find a nonce where hashing the block contents meets a target, burst includes information proving an address is eligible to mine that block, and then signs it with that address. This allows us to lock down the numbers used in the calculations by only using information from previous blocks in the algorithm. The only information that is used is generation signature, block height, and the user who mined the last block, so the only manipulation possible is to choose not to mine a block you are able to. The generation signature is based on the same values from the block before it. Changing the transactions won't change anything, so that isn't a valid attack vector.

Honestly, we have got to have the best dev EVER!!!

hi can some one help ? after trying mining on pool of uray (http://burst-pool.cryptoport.io/)
successfuly but with poor results (only 7000 burst with 20 tb plots) i want to switch back to solo but every time  i try it
with wathever miner this is what i get

Submitting share
{"result":"Passphrase does not match reward recipient"}


the plots were working successful in solo ( mined 14 block in the past weeks)
and now they only work in pool

please help

i think i solved ... i went to
http://127.0.0.1:8125/rewardassignment.html
set recipient my account id

and passphrase my passphrase

now when mining solo i submitting shares

can someone confirm this is right procedure to switch from pool to solo mining ?

That is what I did and it worked for me. Got a block soon after.

How long have you been in cryptos har23? You have to get use to dips and peaks in cryptos, just like the stock market. You can't have a weak will in this type of environment. After being in 2 year plus, I've become tolerant to it.

The price will recover, this coin has a great community and innovation of mining.

I hate to keep asking the same question, but I just want to make sure I'm mining and not wasting time. It's been ~24 hours since I started and I haven't had a deposit yet. I'm running:

Code:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate accountnumberhere 0 108000000 0 4

Specs are:

Core I7 3770k
16GB ram
2.7TB drive

It's been running since last night and I've yet to see any indication in my account about a deposit or anything. I can't tell if I'm even mining or not. I have the server, run_generate.bat and the run.bat running right now.

The run_generate.bat says "Generating from nonce: 0" and it hasn't changed since last night.

Please someone clarify this for me.

you need to enter your acc number as in bold here

Code:

and i think the second 0 needs to be 1000 like the first xmx as you can see in my code

I have my account number entered. I just didn't know if it was safe or not to post.

I actualy like this price ... i can buy more coins

I dunno when people will learn that a new coin is not all about the price ... i know that many of u like the pump and bump shit ... and u always dream that u get rich by night ....

Think about Bitcoin (CPU mining)
Then Litecoin (GPU mining)
Ripple (premine 100%)
Nxt
BURST (HDD mining)

All this coins was not just another clone ... now lets look at coinmarketcap.com

1. Bitcoin
2.Litecoin
3. Ripple
4.
5. Nxt

Think about the price they had in 1st mounth ... it makes me smile

Now when u sell your BURST for some cents ... think about the people that did the same with bitcoin , litecoin , ripple or nxt

Do not panic, the price will soon rise again.

your stagger size cannot be 0 try 1000

I will hope, for me its a revolution, i think to holder during 1 years or more. But i don't understand why people want to sell Burst, HDD mining its THE big news in the crypto currency.

Ok, thanks for the explanation! I think I am getting a better understanding of how it all works.

However, this brings up another concern. Does this mean that the transactions themselves aren't encoded in the blockchain in any way? If that's the case, then it seems it would be trivial to perform double-spends. Sorry if this is a stupid question!

hi i sent 200 coins. i have only just got set up and thats half my mining earnings so far. hope it helps

Thanks

You might want to put a cooldown timer on it so somebody doesn't drain it...

Yeah..

Added 20 min cooldown

Should be much longer imho, in this phase it should primarily be for miners needing coins to start mining.

How about an hour? What would you recommend?

We basicly don't want it to get abused, right? If its not abused, 20 min is fine but if the  funds seem to get abused the cooldown should be increased 

[coinits]

Someone please look at this code and tell me if I did something wrong. I've been running for ~20 hours and haven't had any type of payout or even a notification in my wallet letting me know I'm doing it right.

Code:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate acctnumberhere 0 108000000 0 4

Running 2.7 TB completely empty drive. Wanting to maximize the space as much as possible. Thank you for all the help all of you have provided the past day or so, I really do a appreciate you guys helping a complete mining noob like myself.

BTW my specs are:

I7 3770k (gen2 I think)

16 gb ram

GTX 690 if that matters

and the empty 2.7TB that I'm mining on.

Do:

Code:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate acctnumberhere 0 11004000 1000 4

Ideally you would use the other windows plotter since it is much faster.  Then you could do staggers of 6000 instead of 1000.

What other Windows plotter?

All be ok. Price can not rise always. Be strong, keep your eggs in hands and wait Price are very close to touch the bottom.

That number nonces I bold and underlined is too large of a nonce, that is for a 27TB capacity and you have a 2.7TB capacity. I don't know if you read my previous response at all.....Also, you have a stagger size of zero, the number following the number nonces. Try 1000 or up to 4191.

if i get part way through plotting my hdd so say for e.g i get to plot 800000 from 0 then i stop it generating and start another plot later from 800001 will the miner use both of the plots or just one?

According the FAQ that they were attempting to put up the answer is yes it will use both. I can't find the link to it now but someone was trolling it anyway.

Thanks a lot, thats seems like something we can use for this Hopefully the community can help out Atm I'm writing by clicking a mouse, but will get a new keyboard tomorrow. I'll will also scan the present topic for the questions asked and answers already given and paste them there. Organising we could do later.

 

Internationalism is great - spred BURST around the globe! - but why all the foreign language in our work on a FAQ thread ( http://piratepad.net/NIfJdj30We )? Please make a seperate piratepad thread with your translation and restore the present one to English....
