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

[paduser]

when we will have gui wallet client? it is unreasonable we have hdd mining but can't store the coin in local hdd, it is still unsafe with website wallet, for exsample, in theory, we can program a software, let it generate the passphase and use dump_address.bat to generate the wallet address, if the wallet address was found in blockchain explore, then this passphase is crashed out.. if one with large amount of coins in it, i think hacker must have intreset in it, and i said, in theory, it is still possible,,,so, i think a local wallet client is needed,,at least from safety

It's the same with a gui wallet. brute force the password and look in the block explorer for coins. If you choose a long password they wont find it with less effort.

I have trouble figuring how new best and deadline work.

i except a lower deadline is better than a higher deadline, as i expect the one with the plot that generated the lowest deadline wins the block.


First i thought that a low "new best" value would lead to a good deadline, but it seems like this is not the case, for instance :


{"baseTarget":"4866145","height":"11359"
New best: 8512112183083979313:4370
Submitting share
{"result":"success","deadline":8335710}

{"baseTarget":"4866145","height":"11359"
New best: 8512112183083979313:3378387
Submitting share
{"result":"success","deadline":4444861}

{"baseTarget":"4866145","height":"11359"
New best: 8512112183083979313:1038788
Submitting share
{"result":"success","deadline":2007033}

{"baseTarget":"4866145","height":"11359"
{"baseTarget":"4866145","height":"11359"
New best: 8512112183083979313:2470667
Submitting share
{"result":"success","deadline":1764791}

best          deadline
4370         8335710
1038788  2007033
2470667  1764791
3378387  4444861

these results from 4 different miners with different plot files, but the same block.

The miner that had the very low 4370 best value, ends up having the largest deadline...

What is the connection between best and deadline.

How can it be that my miner with the most disk space often creates quite low best values, but then what seems like random deadlines even though best is quite low.

is the best number just a seed that creates the deadline, so best : NNNN means this is the best seed found, which then leads to YYYY deadline?

If this is explained anywhere, please let me know, i have searched high and low (looked everywhere i could think of, but the source code)

to guess a passphrase the chances to have a hit tend to zero.

what i absolutely dislike at the moment is that i have to copy my passphrase (the private key) into the clipboard each time access my wallet ui.
for me this method of authentification is a massive design flaw which needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
even if i have javascript on my isolated wallet virtual machine disabled i am unable to access the ui.
beside the java based backend this is a major issue which prevents many people i know from buying up all cheap coins on the exhchanges which are estimated to be buyable for less than 150 btc at the moment.
so if someone works on a c based backend please consider to not require direct passphrase access from the user during regular operations ( encrypt the passphrase (privatekey) with a strong password on disk ).

First i thought that a low "new best" value would lead to a good deadline, but it seems like this is not the case, for instance :

I had a look at the source, and as far as i can tell, the part of the best number after the colon is the index of the winning hash, while the deadline is the reason it won  As I have plots 0 thru 800000 on the first miner, and 800001 thru 2400000 on the second miner, the best is of course always higher on the second miner (and the third and the fourth). This explains all.

By the way, it would be super nice if the "Error reading file" message also wrote out what was the last correctly read nonce. This way it is a little bit easier to rename the file and generate more nonces starting from where the prior file generation was interrupted.

Is there a github or bitbucket with the source? (in order to do pull requests with minor fixes and enhancements)

Burstmp.com payments will be a little late again today.

hmm... 2 days already with no payment ?

how i can check my plots at corrupt? if i mine on pool with solo address.

[bipben]

just tested this and confirming same results.
what's the solution?

how i can check my plots at corrupt?

I noticed the plots generated by GPU plotter with 14.6 drivers produced extremely huge deadlines (13-14 digits) when mining. It's very hard to mine anything with such deadlines.

"Warning: to the AMD owners, the 14.4 catalyst driver cause a major bug. The generated files are corrupted. I will investigate on this problem. In the meantime, I recommend you to switch back your driver to the 13.12 version"

quote from bipben

So should we delete the plots generated with 14.4 , its true that the geadlines are large , but it getting accepted ahares. I'm confused...

Good news: it seems that the corruption doesn't occurs systematically. Maybe it's an isolated problem. But if you're in this configuration, it's better to check your GPU generated plots.

As posted before, here is a mean to verify your plots:
Just generate another plot file with the CPU plotter with the same exact values used on the GPU plotter for the <address>, <startNonce> and <staggerSize> parameters but with a <noncesNumber>=1 (will be expanded to <staggerSize>).
Once done, check that the first bytes of the CPU generated file matches the ones from the GPU generated ones. If yes, you can keep your GPU generated file, else the file is corrupted and must be deleted.

Sorry for the inconvenience. I'm investigating this problem and will correct it asap.

[Matt9301]

I guess I have a problem. I've been generating plots all night, currently got 170,000 nonces and still none of my shares have been valid and I have 0 mined balance.
I know that 170,000 isn't that much, but seriously - nothing? I guess I'm doing something wrong.


EDIT: Also, I always get the "error reading file message" - any idea what's wrong?

I said you that you are overlapping! Delete the plots that start from 17001 and begin a new plot that start from 600001..

What's the best pool to mine at right now? I've noticed some have had some payout problems. Any input? Please share your experience. 

2nd node of uray's pool
official dev pool (deadline 75k).

you mean this pool is the best payer?
http://burst-pool2.cryptoport.io/

but if on first pool there are more miner they have the major chance to find blocks!?!!?

no???

Sure. So we need more miners in the second one pool..

ehm ehm..
i' asking if someone have done some test on profittability:
which one is the best?

for me http://burst-pool2.cryptoport.io is better because i don't get submit error or any sort of error. On pool 1 , i get those error often and it affect profit.

Pool 2 is finding block quite often now and it will grow in time.

For me is the same.. I received 4 payments from the pool 2..

For all the new miners and all who finished plotting:

Consider also buying BURST directly instead of HDDs. Difficulty is rising crazy and you may never get ROI without alot of effort and time put into it.
If you have some free HDDs lying aroung it's fine, but buying HDDs is more risky than you can imagine. Also if everybody mines, who will keep the price at the exchanges? The market will not trust a community who doesn't buy its own coin.

If you are a miner of the old currencys you should consider use your hardware for the burst multipools to gain Bursts indirectly and generating buy pressure. That would be better then selling your hardware and buying HDDs. Until they ship the ROI is gone again and who knows will the price go.


tl;dr

Consider buy Bursts at exchanges instead of new HDDs. Do the math!

I have put over 6 btc into BURST buy support over the last week.

We are a community that "walks the walk." =)

Pool V1    often began to issue "unable to get mining info from wallet".

I followed the more clear instructions on page 459, and the damn GPU Miner thing worked!  Wow.  Wasn't expecting that.  Then I did some tuning on it, here's the setup:

GPU - triple fan Gigabyte 280X
Windows 7 64 bit, 13.12 drivers, 2.9.1 SDK, Celeron G550 dual core, 4 GB RAM.

Settings and the resultant nonce per minute speeds:

1024-128-1024 = 6800 nonces per minute
1024-128-2048 = 6800
1024-256-6144 = lock up
1024-256-4096 = 3600
1000-256-3072 = 3700
1000-128-3072 = 6500
1000-64-3072  = 9700
1000-64-2048  = 9800

So we'll see how it goes with a 5,200,000 nonce plot file (1259 GB).

change manualy driver on you video card.
Unzip 14.4 catalyst (c:\Ati\support\... etc)
open system device menegment, select youre Radeon 7900 siries and right click on them select update driver, select manual... go to C:\ati\support\14.4\pakages\driver\display\*.inf

after install, you must see Radeon R9 200 siries

[timk225]

14.4 driver has known problems at this time.  That is why I picked 13.12 drivers.  And it already shows the Radeon R9 200 GPU in Device Manager.
