A quick note before the update
First of all, thank you to all the Believers! (that's how I decided to call Phase 1 investors)
I'm being honest here, I didn't expect to get such a participation in the booking phase. Many have, rightfully, being skeptical, and many still are: I was the first.
The BLTPS project has officially started with an investment of 0.7 BTC during the night which immediately became 1.1 BTC. The first goal is set to be 2.5 BTC (i.e. 250 shares sold) and I'm pretty sure it will be reached, and surpassed, as soon as all the Believers read their PMs.
Thank you again, really!

For the future, there is plenty of work to do, and plenty of goals to be achieved. Some ideas are being sketched, some are being implemented and I'm always open to questions and suggests.
For those who still don't know what BLTPS project is have a look at it - I know, wall of text... that's why, briefly - we are investing BTCs into LTCGear and every mining profit will be used to stabilize and increase the Burst value by properly setting buy walls on the main exchanges. Eaten walls will turn in Bursts that will be split among investors starting from Phase 5.

Phase 1 has officially ended. Phase 2 is likely to start in a couple of days. Since I see no reason to stop you from buying BLTPS shares during the transition... You can still book your shares if you want: same price as usual (0.01 BTC each), follow the instructions of Phase 1 (slightly changed with v1.0.5)

Back to the update!

Update v1.0.5

Burst Long Term Price Support project
(BLTPS)

Changelog
v1.0.5 - 10/nov/2014
Added a share counter with funding goals: each time a goal is reached, more power will be added to BLTPS mining.
There is no need for the investor to specify the Bitcoin Address anymore: the correlation method has been changed to something way more intuitive and easy
Phase 1 booked shares are being sold: if you are one of the investors, check your PMs

Watch it You should see a difference in resource consumption.... Not sure tho, never used it.... Will try it tomorrow .... But the miner should also say that it's finished

I cann't see any infos about plots reading time

check debug: true in conf file

I have just configure the debug as true on config file:

Ok so to join a pool i need 1 burstcoin and i went to one of the faucets to get some coins to join one of the pools listed but it gives me the error:

There was an error processing the request. Please ensure the address entered is correct.

I have tried solo mining with about 3 1/2tb but that wont get me far im sure but even then idk if that will work as my address since it isnt seen as a valid address. i saw others mention this but after getting sent some coins it activated the account so can someone send a few my way to get my acct activated??

 BURST-6LC2-X8T4-AWLT-CWJ63

thats what my wallet says my address is and its fully updated and downloaded the whole chain already but i have 0 coins.

on a side note how do i change the plot size in the plot maker app?? When i use anything higher then 1000 it just closes. I KNOW FOR A FACT I HAVE ENOUGH RESOURCES. This is on a dell t610 with 48gb of ram and 2 8 core procs and 3 1/2 tb of hdd space. 2 hdd's are 1tb drives and it ran all weekend and hasnt even finished half of the plot making on them....its ridiculously slow. here is my batch file config:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate xxxxacctidremovedbutiinsertitherexxxx 0 400000 1000 2

any ideas?? if i change -xmx100m to 2000m or 3000m or anything higher it will not run. If i change the number at the end from 1000 to 2000 or 3000 or 4000 or anything else it yet again will not run. If i change both numbers to the same number at the same time it will not run. It will only run at the numbers shown and maybe lower idk because i dont want to go lower i want to make the sizes larger. thanks in advance.

If a wallet is hacked and bursts are taken then it's a loss.  Transactions cannot be reversed.  What about assets?  Can the asset issuer to work with the asset holder if it's proven that wallet is hacked?

I'm sending you a few bursts to activate that account, after getting them, any operation will activate it, for example changing the burst account name & info (1 Burst fee).
Then you have to pay another Burst to "subscribe" to the pool you've chosen.
About plotting, use Janror's if you are on windows. It is way easier and faster.

How large are plots?  I thought the idea was they were hundreds of GB large.. but first post seems to indicate 262144 bytes?  I was thinking plots were something like 200 GB.. large plots would be good for ASIC resistance.. and could probably be used to lure over some litecoiners who recently lose that advantage.  I would target devs or various coins and people who have made a difference first instead of just announcing it to the community as a whole though.

The way I understand it is to think of plotsize as "hashrate".

The bigger the plots you have are the larger is your "hashrate". ASIC resistance comes from the algorithm, not the plotsize.

Im sure theres a better way of explaining though, Im still new to all this.

Plots are as large as you want them to be. Their size isn't related to ASIC resistance or whatever.
ASIC resistance is basically guaranteed by how the protocol works. Even if something that goes, let's say, 10K faster than any CPU is built, it will still be nothing compared to a pre-created plot on an hard drive.

You people are still trying to make this shitcoin work?  Wow you're stupid.  I got out of it weeks ago and am far happier without the stress of this crapcoin on my mind.

As long as you keep posting, it means you didn't "get out of it" and you're the stupid one.
But by all means, do go on. It's nice to have a clown around.

m3 but why are you wasting your time with an ass like timk225.
are months that are throwing shit on burstcoin .... I do not know why ... but he's doing it .. certainly not me ...
I know the real value of burstcoin ... and the words of timk225 not scare me.

-ANNOUNCEMENT-


Right now http://burst.ga pool is on the new balancer we setup, and DNS records are updated, This means that miners may have to restart their miners, but then you shouldn't have to ever again.

The pool is back being a failover right now, but it's not in it's permanent final setup quite yet, but we can definitely take more miners right now, and no more restarting should be necessary.

So, let's do it!!

Thank you!

Plot is 256kb. Every block a random portion of plot (1/4096) is used for mining (I'm simplifying things a bit).
The more plots you have the more chances of finding the best deadline. Generating plots 'on the fly' is very CPU-intensive, so the coin is ASIC-resistant.

Not only burstcoin, he copy-pasted the same message in other coin thread. Just trolling I guess.

Interesting... thanks.

Also, how much does Burst have to worry about 'Nothing at Stake'?  Basically you can try to mine on every fork you see?  If someone gets over 50% of the storage, then he can create a separate fork with very little effort that looks correct?  There is one way to sort of get around this but it can't be used to prevent new miners joining the network from joining the wrong fork. So, theoretically, given what is currently implemented.
