Re: Antminer S9 Volt Rocket Ship firmware mod! ~ALL S9 MODELS INCLUDING S9i S9j~

so, then do you know how fw with devfee that has individual chip freq tuning works? is that developed completely from scratch or based on bitmain bmminer code?
freq per each chip would require a massive overhaul of the bitmain code. Not that I am aware of. I know there is one that floats around with a dev fee that supposedly is per chip but it's actually per board and it's all just a fake ui stating it is changing chips individually. Pretty sure you cant per chip anyways.

I am running the BixBit firmware (with Dev Fee.......) 0n my T9+. A few things I would change but generally a very solid bit of code. Am pretty certain that the per chip Frequency setting, at least in the BixBit code, works as the effect on Hash Rate & Efficiency track very well.

Have ditched using the Autotune and have spent some Hours doing all the changes manually. The T9+ is now running at a steady 10.3TH consuming 930W at the wall, which is a none too shabby 0.09 J/GH :-)

Announcing the PoC Consortium. Stage 1: BURST

As a long time Burst Supporter / Miner / Investor I would like to say welcome.


Quote
We are not interested in drama. We do not care who started it and why.
Most certainly we will not participate. We are forward-looking and
everyone competent, rational and willing to cooperate with us is
welcome and will be met with a benevolent attitude.  Other than that,
there is no one in the BURST community or elsewhere who could threaten
or fatally annoy us or "make us go away" by any other means.
Nuff said.

THEREFORE

We - the PoC Consortium - are a group of highly skilled and well
funded individuals. Investors, executives, entrepreneurs, developers,
admins, designers and college students. We came to lead BURST to its
rightful place among other cryptocurrencies and we believe that place
is nowhere else than upwards of where BURST is today and upwards of
where it will be tomorrow.

Sounds good, let's hope that you can cope with /fend off / ignore the crap that will no doubt sooner or later come your way.


Quote
We have done already some small development efforts to get BURST back
on track. Following the spam attack on BURST, we provided an
"Enterprise" BURST wallet 1.3.0cg, which was based on the official
1.2.9, but has a mariaDB/MySQL backend instead of the flimsy H2
database used in BURST so far.
You can get it here: https://github.com/ac0v/burstcoin
We continue with our wallet development efforts forcefully.

Have tried the Online version and it seems fast and solid, will give the local version a try. I assume it uses the same DB file and format? Might be good if you could provide a reliable download of an up to date DB.


Quote
We are hosting a BURST mining pool at https://burst.cryptoguru.org/
with 0% fee, superior performance and availability. We operate miners
for experimental purposes with a small capacity of 200TB.

Not personally a lover of the uray style Pool, in particular the approach to Historic shares. Do you have any plans to move to a ninja style or develop your own Pool Software?


Quote
We are hosting a geographically distributed cluster of wallets on
various machines, all of which have superior connectivity. Our main
public wallet (running 1.3.2cg as of now) is
https://wallet.burst.cryptoguru.org:8125/index.html This is BTW the
"well known peer" 92.43.104.34 that single-handedly (at 14% capacity
usage during the peak) took a 1TB/day network load during the spam
attacks. Our provided wallet capacities are meanwhile a multiple of
that. These wallets are also constantly connected to 200-300 peers via
GBit uplink. We thus do believe to have set up a very resilient
"Core-Backbone" of the BURST network infrastructure.

Seems to be working well at the moment, have you seen and DDos attacks and how confident are you in your defences?


Quote
Furthermore, we are proud to present our own BURST block explorer
https://explore.burst.cryptoguru.org/ and you are welcome to give
it a try. It has been written from scratch and although still WIP,
we believe you will appreciate it's performance and availability.

Great to have an explorer back, would be nice if you could add the functionality for an XLC downloads of the data.


Quote
We are especially pleased to announce the in-development status of
our mobile wallet for BURST (Android and iOS) which we believe will
enable and catalyze new oportunities for the BURST cryptocurrency.
Our benchmark is the BTC wallet Mycelium https://wallet.mycelium.com/


Keep up the good work, looking forward to much more from the Team.

I was a big supporter of this asset before I found out that the person running it wasn't telling the whole truth about his other asset 

Yes ccminer tried to cover up late delivery of Drives when needing to change supplier and was Mining with a lot less TB than he was claiming. However he has since taken delivery of all of the Drives and has been making up the shortfall in Mining Revenue from other sources while the Drives are Plotting. Asset now looks like it will be expanded into GPU Mining which will strengthen and diversify it. I remained a supporter as I feel everyone deserves a second chance.

I was not suggesting that this is a good or bad investment, merely pointing out that you had missed part of the equation.

I am not going to guess any answers but if you want a full discussion I suggest you raise this issue in the thread https://forums.burst-team.us/topic/2466/sold-out-ccminer_100tb-new-asset/727 and allow ccminer to respond.

So as i was predicted, your return in burst has dropped. And i think ccminer was overpaying at first time, so people will see this asset as profitable thing. After 4 months you received total only 690'000 of 6'000'000 Bursts, which is fully corresponds to my previous calculations(even less).
Such unprofitable move.


You need to factor this from the ccminer_100TB OP into your calculation.

In case the minig will get unprofitable and I'll be force to close the asset!

I'll sell all the HD I purchased with the asset money minus a fee for me
All the money I'll get from selling the HD will be convertend into burst and I'll start to buy back the asset quantity sold, to liquidate the asset.

Although not explicit for CCMINER1000 this is the plan for CCMINER100 and I would expect it to apply.

Which will of course add significantly to the returns. Let's see what CCMINER has to say?

I'm mining with 16Tb and not getting much. A few hundred burst every day. This coin has zero profits when it comes to mining it. Just do it for fun and if you want to get into burst you really need to buy some.

You should be doing better than that. I mine with 80TB and average 5K Burst a Day. So you should be making at least 1K. Burst is very low cost to mine and from where it is Today the price can only go up. :-)

The transfers in the Queue...is that normal? Everytime I have seen that it is associated with a fork...as well it has been 24 hours and I see no evidence of transfer, some accounts are sitting with over 300 Burst...from my side at least this is why it looks "wonky" to me...

Yes there are some massive numbers Queued, something is not right? However it's not on a Fork.

Rich, when the pools are forked they continue mining and carry on earning what they believe is mined. When they get back on the main chain, those coins still need to be paid out. Some of the coins the pool thinks it earned get paid out on the fork and never appear to the miners, but the bulk of them do. I have to deposit coins from my wallet to the pool to allow the pool to payout and resume normal operations. To date I've paid out around 1M Burst to the pools and miners due to forks.

I'm aware of the frustration caused by the forks, and wish there was something I could do to avoid them - but until the devs can find/fix the root cause, they'll occur from time to time. The last mod by the devs made the forks a lot less common - the pools went for weeks without an issue, until the problem over the weekend. Once all the wallets stabilize, and we get more people upgrading from old wallets to new, I'm sure we'll be stable for a long time again. But in the meantime, we just need patience and understanding that we're working on it.

H.



H thanks for the explanation and for your continued support and the significant personal price you have paid when supporting Forked Pools. There must be subtle differences to Pools / Forks as I have definitely seen Forks where payments are Queued and not paid to Miners?

Here's hoping the Dev's can come up with a full fix as otherwise as the Network grows the costs could become unsupportable. As an interim measure it would be good if a simple piece of monitoring code could be added to the Pools such that when they are Forked they just stop accepting Deadlines?

pool.burstcoin.eu was as I am sure you know Forked for some time Today.

no coin was erased from your account. If the pool goes off on a fork - it thinks it's won all the blocks, and it WILL pay out those blocksForks happen, it appears .BIZ went off on a fork, but it also brought itself back onto the mainstream branch, and as I said - the pool will have paid out all blocks it thought it won.

Do pools actually continue paying when they are on a Fork? My experience is that the Pool on a Fork stops paying out and payments are queued, when the Fork is sorted then the coins are removed from the queue?

If coins are actually paid out, surely they could be exchanged etc and not be retrievable?


Rich

My experience is once the pool forks it seems to recognize somehow it is forking as the earnings just pile up in the account and are marked as unpaid, eventually they get "erased" and reset once everything is synced back up.


Yes agreed which I fine equally annoying as the Pool obviously can recognise that something is wrong but often does not seem able to rectify the problem....

The Miner is indicating that there is a mismatch between the nonces in the filename & the nonces it is finding in the file. If you run the plotschecker on the file it will find and correct the filename.

I am also here to mine as much Burst for the least cost possible. So clarity of the payments is important to me as is being on a reliable pool and having sufficient mining power on that pool that there can be regular payments.

I agree that the pretty colours and names are unimportant to the returns, however they do no harm and add some colour to what is otherwise a boring and bland process. I still feel the other data that is available on ninja is very informative as to what your reward will be and how the Pool is doing relative to others.

I have taken a look at burstpowernetwork.ml and I only see 2 Mners and very little money being paid out, so it may or may not be robust, but it is not  being stressed and is currently way too small to offer and benefit over solo mining.

@tross Please understand I appreciate the effort that you and others who are running pools are putting in for small rewards. What I do not understand is why there are objections to me pointing out when pools are Stuck or Forked particularly when it has been obvious for some Hours that something is wrong?

It is now over 2 months since Forking became a significant issue on the network and yes I appreciate that on occasions it costs the Pool Owner money and if it was an easy problem to solve then it would have been fixed......

Bottom line is it can happen to any Pool not just the ninja based ones. As well as the Pool owners it costs Miners money as well. If I look at daily earnings days when a pool has gone Down or Forked are very obvious. It does not put Burst in a good light if at it's current size a problem like this can take this long to solve, what hope have we if there were 10 x the number of Pools and Miners?

I do not think the solution, as people are fond of suggesting, is for Miners to spread themselves evenly across the Pools or for them to use non ninja based Pools. I for one prefer the ninja pools. The Display with the wealth of information it provides and the clarity there is as to your Historic and Current Round Share. It was in fact one of the things that first attracted me to Burst.

So to those that it may concern. Please stop moaning at me when after some Hours of waiting I point out a Pool is Forked. Please stop telling me to use non ninja Pools, and yes I would go Solo except that I sometimes go 3 Days without finding a Block, and that's not a lot of fun. Finally please keep us informed as to current thinking on what the issue is, what is being tried, and what progress is being made? Transparency and information even if it's bad news is always better than being kept in the dark.

Thanks


Rich




transparency is always nice, and it is something that is NOT required of any business model or set up.  no client or customer ever has the right to demand this.  it is something that is either there or not.  My friend is a manager at a grocery store chain down here and i was there dropping off something the other day and a little old lady asked why there was no X on the shelf, he stated they were out and more would come on the next truck, she asked when the truck comes and he said the next day.....all fine, THEN she asked how many cases were coming, he said he was not sure and would check, i was standing there and while he was in the office checking i read her the riot act.  if she wants to know specifics about orders and what not, she should open her own grocery.  he business is from shelf to check out and nothing more. 

Ninja pool has more info on it than which other pool?   tell me exactly which you are comparing because other than the pretty little pie, the info(not including round number and shit) is "current round pays", "historic pays", and "who found the blocks", other than who found the blocks, what info are you talking about?  and if I want to know who found which block, i'll use a block explorer

So you are saying that you consider the level of Forking and consequent downtime of the pools to be acceptable and that we have no right to ask what is going on or what the progress is being made on a solution?

On the data available on ninja pools relative to the other flavour of Pools then yes I like the coloured pies. I like that the Miners names are shown. I like that you can quickly see who has won the recent Blocks on and off the pool. I like that the Current Round and Historic Shares data is clear and easily understandable and that it represents the Payout that you will receive as opposed to an unclear and typically large number that bears no resemblance to what you will receive. I like it that the Historic Share is based on the last 50 Rounds and not thrown away after every payout or after 100 non paying rounds.

Maybe the above is unimportant to others, but I like it.  Smiley
