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

[wmikrut]

SO... the price on this shitcoin STILL hasn't gone up, huh?  Is there anyone here still stupid enough to even be mining it?  I didn't bother to read any previous posts before typing this.  I'm glad I left it behind a long time ago.  I still have my 10,931 coins sitting on an exchange in case it ever does pop up.  Feel free to offer me 800 satoshis each coin for them.

Haaaa.... 800 sat for each??!  Go back to your pot,ganja,maryj,dank coins!
Lol     

[DrTrouble]

ah...and also for miner who own following account :

BURST-CREX-FD53-Q698-FJHLS
BURST-ZZDB-7NHL-V5C9-673TK
BURST-9UF6-P65T-7F5Y-EWHD3

please use proper miner, or remove your passphrase.txt, you are sending your secret passpharase to server!

Maybe it would've been better to send them encrypted blockchain messages?

yeah... i just want to make fun of them

Ooopss!  My bad, I own 2 out of 3 of those...  With all the bouncing between your pools solo mining and pool mining, I was not removing passphrases.txt.  Doh.  Well, good thing you are honest and I move my balances off to another account almost daily   Should be resolved now, please let me know if it is not...

sorry i've been off for couple of days, currently focusing on upgrading pool, i am sorry if there are a lot of problem before, its because vps provider is pushing me that i made too huge tcp connection, too many cpu time, too much traffic, so i ended up moving all of those pool to new dedicated server, with new software which should be more efficient and has better reward distribution, currently SG and EU already using new code and under testing, and also the front-end is still buggy but i believe back-end is working as intended right know

no, my pools does not post every single nonce received to wallet, its processed first in native C++, and only best nonce for current round is sent to wallet, and also mining info related APIs are cached, its not directly from wallet

but i believe another pool that use my source code doing direct send to wallet for every single nonce, its my guess anyway, because it is how it work in the very basic source code i made public

anyway q327K091, what do you mean pools are in major disarray ?

Hey uray,

did you read my post a few pages back: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=731923.msg9652448#msg9652448 ? Are these issues solved so I can return to SG?

pool is still in beta, if i found another critical bug, i might need to reset user balance again if there are no other alternative fix, but currently SG already running more than 24 hr without backend bug, so its up to you

Thanks. Did SG find fewer block the last 24h than the average before?

If it's really that useless and you think it's that stupid.. then please just sell it right now. Why would I buy your coins at 800 Satoshis when I could buy someone else's for under 100 Satoshis?  I'll give you 100 satoshi each if you want it.

Aahh, thanks, that explains my earnings yesterday (worst day ever). If you find bugs in the future, it'd be great if you post about a thing like that.

Hello!

Just trying to get this this set up to have a bash at it, heard some good stories

Just wanna clarify a couple of things though.. I'm installing through command in linux and got to the point where I need to start plotting

sh run_generate.sh ACCOUNT_ID <start_plot> <total_num_plots> <staggnation> <cpu_threads>

Does the values of those options go inside the brackets? Or just in there place?

Also read that each plot is 256kb? So if was going to do 25GB worth of plots that'd be about 100000 plots?

Thanks

I am not a Linux user, but I am almost 100% certain you do not need the brackets.  Just place your values there instead, with spaces in between each.

As far as the plot sizes, the wording is slightly confusing.  For only 25GB you would only need 1 plot. A plot is typically a file.  Not sure why your miner has "start_plot" and "total_num_plots"...to me the wording should be "start_nonce" and "number of nonces". That being said, in your example above you would want to set your total_num_plots to around 100000 as mentioned. 

Make sure you set your "start_plot" to 0 this first time.  Hope that helps.

bazzaboi dont use the generator in java... it is very very very slow.

ue either dcct generator or this one

If someone is interested I uploaded gpuPlotGenerator 4.0.3 with my configs for single and multi file plotting on R9 290X / R9 295X2, just change your BURST address and the nonces you want to start with, config creates 250GB files http://megabitload.com/download/index/69778635/

Hi!

Introducing simple hazard game called:
GUESS SCOOP WIN BURST
(I was never good in naming things :-) )

See description of BURST-4BET-7D3W-ZMWX-D3W4J account.

Its about guessing the scoop number of every 5th block (blocks 37570, 37575, 37580,...) and its provably fair*.

Bet: 10 BURST
How to: Send 10 burst to address above (alias "scoopwin10" ) with unencrypted message containing number you guessing.

Your transaction must be in the block xxxx0-xxxx4 to be rewarded from the block xxxx5
(or xxxx5-xxxx9 to be rewarded from the block xxxx10)

Who guessed the closest number wins!

The guessing range is 0 to 4095 (if higher, its X mod 4096 )
Guessing range is "circle" - distance 4095 and 0 is 1

Invalid transactions (wrong amount of burst, no message, no number, encrypted message) are sent back (if amount is higher than 2 burst)

If there is only one guess in the round, there is postponed to next round.

Currently running "beta" before start with higher bets.

Bugreports, suggestions (and donations) at BURST-4WYN-ZUTY-EE89-9ZYP2

Fee is 0.5%

_____________
*
generation signature is shabal256(lastblock.generationsignate concat lastblock.miner)
scoop is chosen with shabal256(generationsignature concat blockheight) modulous 4096
number you guessing is choosen by you an you can check numbers of all other players (because are unencrypted)

For block 4 you know scoop of block 5, but your transaction will be included in block 5 ... and transaction included in the block 5 is heading to the scoop in block 10.

Interesting concept and every bit of activity around Burst can be of help.

Risking 10 Burst isnt too big of a deal, however the structure of the game does involve trust as you need to send the Burst back to the winners. Unless youre running a long con I guess we're ok

Thanks for this kind words.
I am not sure, if there is possibility how to do without sending burst to 3rd party. Even the original Satoshi Dice was based on sending BTC somewhere...

But, before sending Burst, you can check ( http://burstcoin.eu/address/13261835548395382169 ), if the game is still fair.
Currently there is one bet waiting for the "challenger" :-) And before it there were two transactions with guesses
1212 and 868 and the scoop was 3512

The 868 is closer to 3512 (over the zero, don't forget, its circle) and won.

About "long con" - only coins I can "stole" are from the current round - last 5 blocks. Not worth stealing.
From long run point of view, I will have income from fee (hopefully).

Don't be afraid of my honesty but my coding skill! :-D I hope I caught all bugs, but no one ever knows.
____
PS: for grammar nazi: I am not native speaker. ;-)

You might want to adjust the range it accepts guesses. The miner who mines block 4 will be able to include his own transaction in block 4 while knowing what scoop block 5 will require. I don't think anyone would bother doing that at this stakes, but just wanted to point out that the person who mines block 4 is able to cheat.

Thanks for pointing out!
I updated the ranges so for guessing scoop of block e.g. 30025 are used transactions in blocks 30019-30023.

Also I have suggestion how to improve trust to me.
We can use another BURST feature - Escrow.

I can create escrow transaction to one of faucet (or if there is some charity) account with 3-5 signers.
Signers will be members like
Burstcoin, uray, ...
(accepting suggestions who else )

Deadline - 7776000s (max)
Deadline action - refund.

If I run away with the bank, you can write to Signers to sign the the escrow
Signers will verify, if the request is legit and if is, they sign the escrow.

I am just not sure how much burst will be enough to make any fraud unprofitable.
Current bet is 10 burst.
There is cca 6000 active wallets.
One wallet can bet only once per round.
Assume, that there will never be more than half betting accounts in one round.
So... 30000 burst in escrow?

Summary:
Escrow 30000 Burst, 3 months
3-5 signers
1 recipient
recipient must not be signer
Signers sign the escrow if I disappear.
Its fair?

(on the end of period I can do another escrow transaction)


Also, I am looking for 10 beta testers
I'll send you 100 BURST and I want you to test BURST-4BET-6Q3W-P9JE-3H4PP (bet is 4 BURST)

[Amph]

is this profitable again or hdd farm are raping it?

It's profitable if you have some HDDs to spare. Network size has basically been the same for a +month.

Hi bobafett,

Are you using the pocminer in the OP? I too am trying to run solo but I have had memory problems with the java miner (out of memory for the java heap space). Are you running one instance of the miner per harddrive or do you have another setup that works better? i'd be glad to know if you would like to share a bit about your setup!

I´m using the newest blago miner. pocminer reads all plot files at the same time, what overloads my box. blago reads each file after the other. so in my opinion its the best miner at the moment if you have more than one plot file.

Aha that's good to know. I'll have to look into that when I get the time. Thanks!
