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

[fastBeast]

Dev, have you explained the "inner workings" of v2...? Such as, why 2000 pool shares, how/when is payment done, how does share relate to payment, etc? Searched but couldn't find that info.

I'm not sure if it's posted anywhere, but I'll answer them anyway.

The number of shares was changed a couple times early on, and was picked to divide cleanly and take longer to cycle a share through than it usually took to find a block so that you could expect that a new share would still exist when the next block was found. I'm not sure how long it currently takes to replace all the shares with new ones, but it's continued to work well so I've left that number alone since. It probably cycles faster now, since I've raised the target deadline quite a bit since then.

After the pool mines a block, it waits for one more block to be found, and then adds to account balances. It then pays out all accounts that have balances over 250.

The shares are a rotating buffer. Whenever you get a new share it replaces the oldest still existing share. When a payout is done it splits the reward between miners proportionally to how many shares they each have in the most recent 2000.

Thanks a lot, perhaps put that info on the pool's homepage so ppl will know?

What is the most stable pool going currently and seems to pay better ?

[rubbish]

The most stable and profitable pool by far, for regular users, is dev's v2, with dcct's miner (linux) or Blago's upcoming new miner (win). ETA for the latter, I think later today.
 
If you have a lot of TBs, like +30, uray's SG pool is the most profitable.

The blago miner release it is not enough. We need uray's SG pool too!
For miners with 10/15Tb is the best.
I hope they fix all soon!

just downloaded!!!

how is the better settings for???

thanks blago for your work!!!!

difficulty hit over 11k. getting pretty high compared to what a burst coin is worth :/

difficulty hit over 11k. getting pretty high compared to what a burst coin is worth :/

Getting pretty intense but I bet is only the beginning. Perhaps big boys mining and buying coin at the same time. Maybe preparing for a good pump.

Doing a good pump requires getting big market share so that there isn't much people can dump when price get high.

why pools could freeze when difficulty rise??

maybe higher network size... higher traffic???

harder to find a block , no block no payout

If you have a lot of TBs, like +30, uray's SG pool is the most profitable.

hy mmmmaybe

can you explain how do you do this statistic???

i have 12TB....

which pool do you think it is the better???
dev V2???

or urays US o SG?

thanks!

ok but you are talking about pools semi freeze at that level of difficulty...

i quote who highest is the difficukty, and lowest is the probability to find a block...

but pool continue to work better... although it will be less profitable

Is it possible to create a chart that shows where the network rate is coming from?  Pools or large solo miner?  Very curious if the sudden increased difficulty is due to a data center or growth of community.

i think this could be possible if we have the possibility to query plot size by address...
if we have this possibility, it is really easy to query the pools total plot size querying each address on pool and sum it...

I'm uncertain whether such a possibility exists, if it does it would make stuff like that relatively trivial.

However, since known pool operators haven't said that the added power comes from them I'd say the added power comes from an individual or a private pool that chooses to remain anonymous atm.

IIRC someone reported a pretty regular bounce up and down in diff and surmised it is a data center being switched on and off of burst mining.

[rollingMyCar]

anyone can tell us if uray's pool SG is fixed?

thanks...

[MamaGoose]

no payments from koko's pool [http://cryptomining.farm/] since 30/11/2014 13:31:18.

all ok?

[MamaGoose]

Can someon think about burst-coin casino? I really want play texas holdem poker for burst

i will like something like plinko game or Spin game...

i would like to try to implement this..
but i need some help on how to implement ingoing/outgoing transaction...

where can i found some documentation about it???

The Api is almost identical (minus a few calls plus the rewardassignment) to the nxt one, so look here for the documention : http://wiki.nxtcrypto.org/wiki/Nxt_API

if you use the search on that wiki, search "nxt api" and it will appear in a few other languages other than english, secondly to test these calls on a wallet (you have on your pc) use the api test page like so :

http://127.0.0.1:8125/test

this will show all the api functions the wallet can do, some of the calls require a post request over a get so here are some functions in php I have used :

Code:

<?php
function json_http_get_curl($url) {
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADERS, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    $r = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    return json_decode($r, true);
}
function json_http_post_curl($url) {
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADERS, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    $r = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    return json_decode($r, true);
}
function json_http_get($url) {
    $r = file_get_contents($url);
    return json_decode($r, true);
}

$buf = array();
$buf[0] = json_http_get_curl('http://127.0.0.1:8125/burst?requestType=getMiningInfo');
$buf[1] = json_http_get('http://127.0.0.1:8125/burst?requestType=getMiningInfo');
$buf[2] = json_http_post_curl('http://127.0.0.1:8125/burst?requestType=getAccount&accountid=ACCOUNT_ID'); // replace account_id with numerical id.

var_dump($buf);

unset($buf);
exit();
?>

Hope that helps anyone

sorry but i read you just now!!!

i do not know about test page in local wallett"""
this is grat!!!

i give you my best regards!!!

thank you.

maybe can i disturb you with PM if a need more answer???

thanks again!!!

Is it possible to create a chart that shows where the network rate is coming from?  Pools or large solo miner?  Very curious if the sudden increased difficulty is due to a data center or growth of community.

When it suddenly started growing ~10days ago, I wrote an IRC bot for this. The diff was roughly 5000TB. First it was about 50TB day up until 250TB/day and now it seems to stabilished at roughly 8PB (2 days average).

Code:

18:23 <AGENTSMITH> katu: Past 1 day(s), out of 8214TB -- burstpool 908TB [11%, 32 miners] 
-- kokopool 340TB [4%, 13 miners] -- solo 5257TB [64%, 7 miners]
-- devpool 1502TB [18%, 41 miners] -- forumpool 187TB [2%, 6 miners]
-- PCFiLpool 23TB [0%, 1 miners] --

Solo used to be like 45%, now is 65%. The new hashpower seems to be divided 65%/35% solo/pool, with devlpool seeing highest increase. This is all guess work and may be not what is really happening.

Also, orphan rate (up to 3 blocks deep) started appearing more often, possibly due to races caused by wild difficulty readjustments. Current 24 blocks average BURST uses is insufficient to cover the variance involved (numbers start making sense at ~100 blocks). I'm currently investigating how to visualize the orphan blocks.

[Trollollo]

realy guys,right now some things happens with burst.Before I found about 1 block/day with my 16 tb,but now I have no blocks found in 5 days,and diff is still going up.wtf is going there?Does google started to mine burst right now?
