Looking at the market value of Burst in coinmarketcap.com, its in a pathetic market value of only $90,378,679. Thats under $100,000,000! This is a good display of either how inefficient this market is, or how inefficient the flow of information is.
Weekly Burst Report #20
Weekly Burst Report #20
- Development of the 2.0.0 version is still going strong, as you can see by looking at the numerous GitHub commits. The new wallet should be considerably more reliable and high-quality, as it is being basically rebuilt from the ground up.
- What the PoC Consortium developers are currently doing is a lot of bugfixing and stabilization, and a config file revamp and merging. Brabantian is working on implementing unit tests, with a current coverage of 7.4% compared to the 0% we had less than two weeks ago.
- PoC2 support is also being implemented by Quibus: in short he added support for PoC2 plotfiles that can be activated at a given block height. According to rico666, blocks have been already mined with PoC2 on the testnet. PoC2 is implemented to counter a potential attack allowing malicious miners to mine certain scoops with PoW and very little disk space. While this attack vector is only theoretical at this point, the PoC Consortium believes we have to fix it to give more credibility to Bursts consensus algorithm. PoC2 will be backward compatible with the current PoC1 as long as the mining software understands both fileformats.
- A new infographic has been published, explaining how the Burst capabilities will evolve in 2018, after all the necessary hard forks:
- In the meantime, we are noticing a strong and growing community support for the Dymaxion: the network observer shows that 74.6% of nodes run the 1.3.6cg wallet at the time of this report. This is a very encouraging signal, but we have to do even better. If you are still using 1.2.9 or older, make sure to update to the latest version. Follow this step-by-step tutorial if you want to run a full node to support the network.
- On the non-wallet front the PoC Consortium pools are being battle-tested in real life. A few bugs were fixed but overall it is going in the right direction. From our experience the new Go code is around 5x as fast as the lexicon pool, and it scales better on multi-CPU systems. It seems also faster than the Ninja Pool code, but we are missing hard numbers on that still, according to rico666.
