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

[uray]

New client Update 1.1.0

Backend is caught up to date with nxt 1.2.8.
Nxt new APIs are usable.
Hard fork on block 11800 to enable new nxt features(encrypted messaging, DGS).
UI is not yet updated for new features.

Move your burst_db folder from 1.0.3 into the new folder to avoid a resync. Db upgrade will take a few minutes though.

Good work

It needs work. Transactions are backasswards.

yeah its not recent row first

Why does everyone keep talking about GPUs? I thought this was a hard drive capacity-"mined" coin?

correct - the mining process is scraping over your plot files.
The amount of storage devoted for plot files is equal to your chances of finding a block.
It also defines the amount of CPU power you need to scrape, because you need to read 1/4096 of your plotted volume. In most cases this is not important and can easily run on a single core, in the background, not hurting other processes running.

The actual "plotting" involves a CPU-intensive process and may take a day for a Terabyte. The i7-3930K I used for plotting yielded 2 TB/day. Lots of people buy a couple 4TB disks and don't want to wait 2 weeks to plot them, hence the development of a gnu-plotter.

Its the same problem. I am buying 1000 TB and it will take weeks to plot. Having only CPU i will not think of getting 1000 TB. GPU only make people scale up and everything end up the same but people have to spend more money.

1000 tb are you serious?

That is only 250 4TB drives. Ok 275 4 TB Drives after microdick finishes messing with them.

Yes i know but time to plot them risk to take a while, unless plotting on multiple computer

The dev's 2.0 Pool is not updating. 2 shares submited and recieved in last 20 minutes - neither recorded.

My BURST has not changed in a while but my share count is changing. It goes up and then it goes down. Shares are not something that I understand yet. When the share count goes down where did they go?

I just got paid.

Well yeah it would be multiple computers. Also the GPU plot generator has to be there. It takes time but this coin is something that anyone can scale up just by reinvesting the coin. Hopefully this is a winner winner chicken dinner!

lol "only", you need multiple rig for that, and you can't dump the amount produced by that, not worth it

right now even 100tb are not worth it

[fanepatent]

with the last burst wallet version, the payment list is fucked up? start from the older one to the new one at the bottom???

confirm, the same status with last wallet, lost last day transactions!!!

Wait for blockchain to update. Mine came back.

It has nothing to do with the blockchain. I can see the transactions, only they are arranged from oldes to newest.

Anyone facing a problem when a miner suddenly shuts off? I'm plotting and mining at the same time. This happens like twice in a day. After launching back I'll see "dead letters encountered. This logging can be turned off or adjusted with configuration settings akka.log-dead-letters."

[alphateam]

Don't know why, but when i'm minning with simlinks and only one miner, hdd del activity blink really less then if i mining with one miner for each disk

Frequently. It does seem to impact daily average payouts - they are around half what the calculator says I should get over 24 hours for X TB of plots. - over 5 days of mining recording the expected vs actual payouts.

Don't understand it, can't be bothered deciphering it lol It still works (although perhaps not efficiently) and I still get coins so it will do for now.

For that price you can better buy burst on market and wait for pump. for 250 hdd you need min. 30 computers every computer with good PSU and good GPU if you want GPU plotting. This is INSANE and in my opinion never ROI.

I can not get the GPU generator to work with R9 290X

On this drive, the only files present are the PlotGen Application, a kernel and plots folder and a batch file which I wrote with the following command:

gpuPlotGenerator.exe plots <ID> 41000000 10250000 4096 128



Command window opens to this before 'Stopping Working'


G:\GPU Generator>gpuPlotGenerator.exe plots <ID> 41000000 102500

I have the AMD SDK whatsit now and just upgraded drivers to 14.7 beta.  On previous driver install the cmd window simply closed with no info.
I am also confused as to why it is showing 2503 GB

[enta2k]

So DHL mailed me, that my 6TB HDD will arrive today.
Yesterday i overclocked my old CPU, hopefully i can generate 1TB+ a day.
But more important i hope i can geht everything running, i really suck at things like that, but motivation and coffee will
get it done

[5m4ru]

confirmed !
ati 14.7 program crashed
ati 13.9 program work fine

[mig6r]

Gpuplotter does not work for me with 280x



someone to help me?
Catalyst 13.2 + app SDK installed

[newuser01]

confirmed !
ati 14.7 program crashed
ati 13.9 program work fine

280x or 290x?

[Dzus1k]

Dev pool v2 seems to be broken or under ddos. It lose connection in miner randomly so minner shut down and also instead of 500 burst I got payment of 400.

Motherfuckers! seriously - why can't people just leave others property the hell alone.
