1000 Bursts Fee (letzter Eintrag ganz unten)? Was ist da passiert? Der Absender ist MikeTheMug Gaming Asset Wallet.

na einfach mal die Transaktion lesen - das ist eine asset creation transaction, und die kostet eben so viel.

Wer bei 118 gekauft hat freut sich jetzt schon, wer den Fehler begeht zu glauben jetzt sei es für den Einstieg zu spät... ;-)

Bis 400 kaufe ich persönlich nach, mein einziger limitierender Faktor sind derzeit sowohl Polo wie auch Bittrex, die mich die ganzen BURST leider nur durch einen dünnen Strohhalm von der Börse saugen lassen.

2.000 USD/Tag ist jetzt nicht gerade ein duenner Strohhalm..
Aber mit dem Kurs gebe ich Dir voellig recht, da ist noch etwas zu erwarten - und wie mit allen "Aktien"-Anlagen gilt: Abwarten, keine Panik-Verkaeufe, ueberhaupt verkaufen nur wenn das Geld gebraucht wird.

Still not finding "avx2miner" anywhere by that name.
dcct I think I tried at some point, the github page looked familier.
mjminer seems to be a couple-generations later merged version of dcct, don't think I've tried that one yet but I did download a copy to check out.

It's too bad the Blago miner doesn't have a Linux version, it's pretty nice now that he fixed the "always start up in the top left corner" bug.

ops, my fault, didn't touch it for more than 2 years. The mjminer has an avx2 codepath, compiled it under a specific name and forgot about where it came from.

I've been using dcct (and variants) since end of 2014, and it is totally stable.
The reason to switch from burstcoin's POCminer was the runtime memory demands and
configurability (for me; MAXDEADLINE, CACHESIZE).

I have a script interpreting the miner's output to get an idea about
the longterm performance (IO/s and runtime per thread, blocktimes, number and value of deadlines found, ..).

 It would be even easier if there was a decent LINUX-based miner.

 AFAIK the only one available is that JAVA-based "GPU assisted" thing, which I can't use as all the GPUs in my LINUX rigs are dedicated to running OTHER mining stuff, while the CPUs generally sit pretty much idle.


Oh, there are several;
dcct
mjminer
avx2miner
the java-based miner will mine w/o GPU if you don't configure the opencl "targets"

Just take a look into the forums.

Anyone had problems with withdrawal burst from poloniex?

problems, not really, it just takes some time;
withdrawals ~1 hour (fastest for me: 10 blocks),
deposits ~2 hours (fastest for me: 20 blocks).
So it fluctuates with the block creation time.

How does one update password on wallet and not lose that orignal wallet ? Seeing no options to change password used for wallet. Need some help on this one. Thanks
You can't, as the password is your private key. If you want to change password you need to create a new wallet and transfer everything.

If you make a new one, make sure it is strong, as it is your private key. If someone obtains it, you are not going to get the content of the wallet back.

This may seem odd at first, but I see the positive thing: You have no private local data.

No wallet that may be lost due to a local crash, no need to have a "local wallet" at all.
You just need to guard your passphrase (private key), and unless you mine solo it doesn't need
to be stored on disk at all.
Moving all your funds over to a new account/passphrase is easy and costs just 1 Burst.
I guess most people mining solo have a dedicated passphrase for that (as its needed
on disk or at least in RAM for the miner process) and another for their funds.

This wallet-less design is one of the many features I like very much.

Ya, seems the dev v2 pool is also stuck/forked... Is pool software the root cause?  Or does this forking issue lie within the Burst protocol?  I would think developing/updating "new pool software" as a work-around for a deeper issue is the wrong approach to take here, especially since most pool miners would then be incentivised to mine on said pool, which doesn't help at all with decentralization.

I'm solo mining, and since 1.2.6 came out my main burst client (that I mine against) was on a fork 4 times.
I run another named burst client to support the network, without local miners, it got forked once.

Interestingly, my database folders contain a " burst.mv.db" of 7 - 9 GBytes (9 right after syncing, shrinking to ~7 after a few hours).
The downloaded db.zip contains a "burst.h2.db" of ~3,5 GByte. I always sync from the network and pulled the file out of curiosity, and did not start a wallet with it yet.

Why the different naming and size ?

..
The pools all run on individual hosts - and are NAT'd out of the colo on individual addresses. The pools are not technically going down - they're just on different forks of the chain. We're trying to make this harder to happen - each pool has each other blacklisted, so block confirmations have to come from the network, not another pool. So ninja/burst-team believe they've one a block, others on the network agree with them, the other pools don't and we're forked. What would really help is spreading the hashing power over all the pools. With so much hash power on burst-team and Ninja, it's not hard for them to create forks.
..

IMHO, criss-cross blacklisting the major pools is a bad idea.
A "fork" situation is quite normal and will be resolved quickly
(usually within minutes).

The time needed for that is a function of propagation time.

By blacklisting known major block creators from each other,
you _increase_ propagation time.

This leads to the situation that pools are on different forks
longer than necessary with undesired side effects.

When like 50% of overall hashpower comes from just 2,3,4
pools, these 2,3,4 machines should have each other on their
trusted peerlist. Maybe a code tweak to force them staying
interconnected would help. Blacklisting is the exact opposite
of what is needed here.

What is the reasoning for this blacklisting ?
(I could be wrong on that, though.)

I have Dev v2' at height 211366 and wallet at 211408   - anyone else...?

Large drop in network size - https://bchain.info/BURST/graph

If you mean the drop between blocks 188k and 190k, that was bitladen taking ~2PiB offline.
The daily average network size (from my miner logfile) for the last week is

4.24366
4.68704
5.04738
4.45498
4.88276
4.369
4.18486

so there is no substantial change.

oh, and if someone searches for the original atcrowdfund.html and doesn't find it (like me)
on CIYAM's git, it can be found in dawallet's burstwindowswallet. Here is the raw file:


https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dawallet/burstwindowswallet/master/burst_1.2.3/html/ui/atcrowdfund.html


and the lotteries.. just in case..

How easy would it be to point one of the rigs to mine at your pool? Would it work with the original miner and just some simple changes to the setup?
each computer has one full java wallet running, and a lot of java miners, each mining their own plots directory.

or perhaps it's only possible to point all of the rigs to the pool, i guess the reward redirection is at blockchain level, or?


exactly, the reward assignment is on the blockchain and continuing to mine against your local wallet will
mince blocks, but you won't get the reward since the pool doesn't see your deadlines.
So it is all or nothing. Or you replot some of your space with a new ID, and use that for poolmining.
Preferably with a single miner instance.

Is having multiple miner instances on a pool still a problem ?
(each miner instance will report it's own deadline, so the may come in 90,110,50,70,55, triggering a pool-specific
 penalty mechanism for overloading the computation on the pool server)

acc. to my miners, at block 189879 , basetarget is 5943250  almost 6 million, this is the easisest and most profitable mining i have seen in a long while. Here's hoping i can get me some easy blocks and a lot of extra BURST...

now it is 6002996

i'd love to see stats for the last few hours or so, could it be that bitladen is down again?


bitladen's last submission was on 22-01-2016 04:54:39 UTC.

Network size is currently around 4.6 PB. Happy mining !

ah, right, that first must be vax then?

Yea, seriously you can't ruin BURST mining no matter how hard you try.

vaxman has been with us for a very long time, i remember those specs from when the spreadsheet looked a lot different. he reveals himself in the notes in the spreadsheet.


I recently stopped mining the 300 TB SAN, just have 96 TB left in a SAS JBOD.


Anyone interested in 32TB Raid units ?
Infortrend Eonstor FC-Sata units, single or dual controller, 16x 2TB disks, ~150W,
located in germany, pick-up only.
I could pre-plot to spec, xfs,ext2,3,4,ufs,zfs,xsan,ntfs,  you name it.
1 PB available.
Just send an offer via PM and we work something out.


Anyone already test mined  for three days or more ?
Let give notices
 1 _ How long time mined .
2 _ avarage daily coin reward .
3 _ how much shared TB
4 _ use which kind of GPU or CPU
5_ how much percent CPU GPU busy time
6_internet connection speed used
7_ uptime



Then we can make a good review about mining this coin and see if really it is profitable or no
