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

[bensam123]

Is it possible to plot more then one HD on the same PC at the same time? Do you just run more then one plotter at the same time? If you're doing GPU plotting does this mess things up?

probably possible, but as the plotting is mostly cpu intensive, all you end up with, is 2 harddrives getting plotted at half speed, instead of one at full speed.

(edit) arh, i see you wrote GPU plotting. My answer only applies to CPU plotting (or, as others have pointed out, applies as long as your disks are not the bottleneck - with cpu plotting they are usually not)

On both Windows and Linux it's possible or even recommended if you have powerful GPU (a single HDD will be the bottleneck if you reach around 30,000n/m while a powerful system can write at triple that speed). Check out the documentation offered by Cryo, but for Linux the command should like something like:

Code:

./gpuPlotGenerator generate buffer /path/to/files/123456_0_50000_5000 /path/123456_50000_10000_2000

For Win you need to specify the different drives by letters

Code:

gpuPlotGenerator generate buffer D://path/to/files/123456_0_50000_5000 E://path/123456_50000_10000_2000

Of course modify your code after you setting. Cryo's thread with lastest version first:

No, not at all.

We are now past the fork point. ATs should be usable.

[mmmaybe]

Sorry to ask, does anyone have 1BTC to sell (PayPal) or lone me to Monday or Tuesday (my deposit is postpones due the holiday season)?

The one who helps me gets 4% in commission.

What is the confirmation times compared with Bitcoin/ transaction times?

Burst 1.2.0

Download: REMOVED
sha256: 00cafd7efb560c3253f8e94ff0b16f2c488d1849166f27c06f0dee7b98f07bcb
or github: https://github.com/BurstProject/burstcoin

Update required for all users by block 49200 (12/26 or 12/27)

If using an existing copy of the blockchain this will do a re-scan on first run.

This update adds the Automated Transaction (AT) system. This will allow users to write turing complete scripts which can be saved to the blockchain. Scripts will get their own account id and are able to send and receive coins, and will execute trustlessly.

This release should be compliant with the ciyam AT specs found here: http://ciyam.org/at/
Additional platform-specific api calls will be added later on.

Current fees for ATs are:
On creation 1 burst per memory page(256 bytes).
When ATs execute, normal opcodes cost 0.1, and api calls cost 1.
There is a maximum of 200 fee per AT execution.

ATs would not have have happened without the work of vbcs ( BURST-NUFU-7PX7-KHVM-7EMNC ) and CIYAM. Thanks

Reminder; Don't forget to update your wallets guys!

Nice try "Truther", be careful "Truther" changed link of mega -> https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/123f10a5d5618540446cb38d8f2c205e9476e7f24522205a54dc33f6101dfe10/analysis/1419650078/ Only download from official topic OP!

Nice catch man, I skimmed over it without looking really, but nice work.

What is the confirmation times compared with Bitcoin/ transaction times?

4 minute blocks for the time being, to be shortened sooner or later. 10 confirmations is plenty.

Can someone please help me and PM me? This seems too complicated to try to work out by myself and I don't want to mess up my PC since I already messed it up and had to reformat it a week ago, can anyone give me a good tutorial on how to set this up? I really want to test this coin out and give it a chance, although I like the wallets more that you just download the QT, run it, and boom it's done lol

I can't find a great guide for starting right now, but it will be up tomorrow.

Anything specific you have problems with?

These are my first 2 issues that I haven't been able to figure out (and yes I do have the newest Java):

I got the same issue with my newly build system few days back when my system installed Java 8 by default.
It looks like current wallet supports only Java 7 as when I installed Java 7 the problem solved.
You can download it from the following page.

[melwinder]

Can I have Java 7 + 8 at the same time? like Java 8 for my newer stuff, and 7 for this?

You must edit file run.bat and others when you hava path to java and change all lines with string  "jre7" to new path to java 8 version.

+ added parameter "TargetDeadline": 1000000  (if exist - sets maximal deadline for sending to pool)
* added ability to sequential association paths:   "Paths":["C:\\plots","D:\\plots","E:\\plots\\+I:\\plots\\","G:\\plots\\","F:\\plots\\","H:\\plots\\"],

Lol thats helpfull to low core CPU's, isnt it? Now one can buy more HDD than cpu cores!

Burst has MUCH potential... Thanks developer!

Okay well I got it fixed, and now I am still having problems, the Burst.Today launcher still has that error, however when I tried to do the guide:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=731923.msg8298999#msg8298999

I am stuck at Step 4 "Double click run_dump_address.bat" and check address.txt, cause it says in the cmd prompt: "External commands not recognized." and closed the prompt immediately after that
(pic related soon, snapped the SS as it was fading away)

"java.exe", not "java". Remember you're in Windows.

Unfortunately no.

*Didn't even see the misspelling, although I got it was a joked of some kind. I thought it was either some Breakback Mountain stuff or me being lonely. It's hard to make of fool out of person with dyslexia when he doesnt even can read the joke, but I'll try to do better
