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

looks for me like they have a failover but not updated IP yet

Yes, failover ip, and it has updated, but some people don't use blago's miner, which is best for that, cause it resolves ip all the time

Yes, failover ip, and it has updated, but some people don't use blago's miner, which is best for that, cause it resolves ip all the time

Unfortunately not for Linux
I tried a bit to modify the source of dcct-miner and add a hostname update everytime it gets "Could not get mining info from Node. Will retry.."

Code:

Using burst.ga port 8124

Could not get mining info from Node. Will retry..

Updating IP
burst.ga resolves to 86.104.24.22

If anyone wants to use it aswell, it's hardcoded so use at own risk

File: mine.c
Search for

Code:

void update() {
        // Try until we get a result.
        while(pollNode() == 0) {
                printf("\nCould not get mining info from Node. Will retry..             \n");

Add after:

Code:

 hostname_to_ip("burst.ga",nodeip);
                 printf("\nUpdating IP");
                 printf("\r\nburst.ga resolves to %s\n",nodeip);

Should do the trick

So, what you really mean is "I wouldn't do RAID 0/JBOD".
A Synology's RAID5, for example, doesn't even have downtime when a disk fails. (just slowness after the bad disk is replaced and the volume rebuilds)

We'll be in Phase 1 'till 08/nov/2014.
Feel free to ask any question and by the start of the next week I will publish a FAQ to gather them in one place.

A Synology's RAID5, for example, doesn't even have downtime when a disk fails. (just slowness after the bad disk is replaced and the volume rebuilds)

But is RAID needed at all? RAID5 results in some capacity loss and plot files from broken HDD can be easily replotted without slowing down other disks.

Plot Optimizer v1.5 - j6jq fork

I have made some bug fixes since version 1.1 and added a delay feature if your available memory fluctuates with mining.  Read more at the Burst forum located at: https://burstforum.com/index.php?threads/plot-optimizer-v1-5-j6jq.268.

Someone want to check my calculations?

I'm calculating that assuming Bitcoin gets 280,000,000 GH/s, then assuming it uses the most energy and cost efficient miner I could find, then it costs $2 per GH and uses 0.5W/GH.

This means that the cost to buy the equipment to power the network is $560,000,000.
Also, the Bitcoin network uses 0.5 W per GH.  In other words 280,000,000 * 0.5 = 140,000,000 W


Now I went with the most energy efficient drive after quickly looking around, I found this: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/4tb-3tb-hdd,3183-15.html

The HITACHI Deskstar 5K4000:  http://www.amazon.com/HITACHI-0F14697-Deskstar-5K4000-INTERNAL/dp/B00B6TMG7O

This costs you $130 for 4TB.  So $560,000,000 will buy you ~4,300,000 4TB drives.

4,300,000 drives at 6W per drive gets you 25,800,000 W

Or in other words, ~4 times more energy efficient than Bitcoin..  which is nice but considering how much cheaper it is to forge for Nxt than mine for Bitcoin.. maybe not as much potential as I initially was thinking.  Especially if new Bitcoin mining equipment truly runs at 0.19 W instead of 0.5 W as used for the above calculation.. at which it's maybe half as energy efficient as Bitcoin.

See here: http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2014/08/15/german-startup-says-its-new-chip-halves-bitcoin-mining-energy/

So this would use half as much energy as a similarly sized Bitcoin network.

Here is my much longer analysis of the Nxt network: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1J8uhdshu9epGRrQHBaloGc4itdvuAHZDAUtNDjOhz-8/edit?usp=sharing

It's still a cool idea and hard drives are more reusable though..  idk.  I'll probably still buy a little but it's not as exciting as I was initially thinking unless he can figure out a way to use that data to store something instead of simply mine with it.


Btw, FakeAccount, you may want to read this article on RAM optimizers:
http://www.howtogeek.com/171424/why-memory-optimizers-and-ram-boosters-are-worse-than-useless/

[bobafett]

you also have to calc the HD cap is also growing with consistent power usage. i thing development of more space is faster.
also you have to consider: hd future development does not depent of the price of the coin.
bitcoin development does. if the bitcoin price is falling and falling it is the question if the optimisation of the asics will be fast enougt to hold mining profitable.

here in germany bitcoin mining makes since month no sence because of the high power prices. and it will also make no sence, if the asics will be optimizied.

burst mining still is profitable.

The future of burst is not in HDD's, it'll be in robots and blurays, and that'll be replaced.

If you want to make the calculation, base it off gpu's, cause burst has no asic's yet, and when it does they won't be BAD. They will be new, better storage devices.

http://www.wired.com/2014/02/facebook-robots/

Also, please note that, if you want to mine effeciently, you could do only like 8 scoops/drive, which means that the drive is off for a majority of the time.

8 scoops would mean that drive only comes on once every 512 blocks.

NOTE: storage is expensive, so perhaps the robots will use waaayyy less power, but the home user with an on computer would always have the upper hand, as their computer is on in any case, and the hdd doesn't use extra power.
