Announcing the PoC Consortium. Stage 1: BURST
As a long time Burst Supporter / Miner / Investor I would like to say welcome.
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.
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/burstcoinWe 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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
