Topic: [ANN][BURST] Burst | Efficient HDD Mining | New 1.2.3 Fork block 92000 - page 1010. (Read 2170893 times)

some users are reporting some problems with those, i'm reading their review

Anything technically, has some form of security exploit. That is all up to who codes it well and make sure it has the proper security protocols. I never said Java is 100%, so don't assume I said that. Even Linux and Mac can be exploited, has been done before.

Newegg got these 2.5TB hdd's for $68: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2DC1R71823

That pretty good $/TB ratio.

I'm planning to buy some next week or so, if it's still in stock.

try to do anything with your account while javascript is disabled in your browser  

i posted earlier that there is a huge difference between java and javascript.
technically if there is a 0-day exploit to access the java vm it is more powerfull than it would be for javascript.
so the big question is who wants to put a million dollar into anything you easily can loose control over?
i could sum up the last exploits with which those attacks where possible and expolorate the next date when such things are possible.
for now java may be safe but we speak about a timeframe of at least 4 years.
so please anyone stop saying java is safe and burst does'nt need a cpp based wallet!

My current case isn't setup to fit more than 6 HDD's, need to go get more 3.5" to 2.5" adapters. I have 2 more Sata port on the mobo, but probably get either a eSata 4 bay enclosure and/or pci-e card. All depend on my cash in a week, got car insurance, cell and other bills to pay first.

Thanks!

wow... the last is the most important!!!
do not you think?

there is this, here in euro the same thing cost only 14 dollars, dunno why they sell for 35 on newegg

there is also this

Do you know some cheap adapters? I bought a dawicontrol dc-624e which wasn't cheap.

why another rig? one psu can handle plenty of hdd, for the MB just add some adapter pci-e >>> sata

I just setup a 12TB rig and got a block 14 hours later, so solo mining is still possible. I'm about to setup another rig with 16TB today once my 4x 4TB drive come in from Newegg.

mining on pool is the same who mining in solo?

i generate plot meanwhile i mine on pool?

it is possible?

please someone help me out and send me 1 Burst so that I can start mining

BURST-JFYN-KTGH-7HBS-9ASB6

Nice work, thanks for your hard work...Might use this for the new hdd's coming in today.

I like to share an updated version of the Linux C tools. You can download it here:

https://bchain.info/dcct_miner.tgz

First you need to unpack it:
tar -xvzf dcct_miner.tgz

Then compile it:
make

of if you use 32-bit Linux:
make linux32

If you really can't compile it use the ones in "bin".

Now you have 3 tools:

The plot merge utility

If you created your plots with a small stagger size, processing them takes a long time. You might miss your deadline if its found too late!
The merge utility optimizes your already created files making them a lot faster to read.

How to use it?

Start it with one parameter, the input file.

This will read your plotfile and create another one - 1234567890_0_100000_100000 - in your current directory. It now has a stagger size of 100000 which is a LOT better.
When done, delete the input file and put the optimized plot in its directory.
You can now use the optimized file with both the JAVA and the C miner.

This does not work for incomplete plotfiles.

The C plotfile generator

This tool creates plotfiles. It takes the same parameters as the JAVA plotfile-generator.

Start it like this:

The 32-bit version can handle a stagger size of about 15000, lots more (depending on your memory) with the 64-bit version.

Some recommended stagger sizes:
2GB memory -> 4000
4GB memory -> 8000
8GB memory -> 20000
16GB memory -> 50000
32GB memory -> 100000

It creates a directory "plots" and puts your files there. They exactly match the files generated with the JAVA-Tool and can be used with any miner.

The miner

You want to use your plotfiles to generate coins, this is where the miner is used.

The C version has some advantages:
- It uses almost no memory
- A lot faster, multithreaded
- Can handle multiple plot directories

You first have to create a file called "passphrases.txt" and put your passphrase in it. It supports only one passphrase and uses the files first line.
Avoid spaces before/after your passphrase.

Then start the miner:


For example:


Each directory is read by a separate thread. If you use multiple HDD's try to use one directory per HDD, this is fastest.

The miner creates some nice output:

When seconds left approach zero, you likely found a block.

If you like it - you can do me a favor and use/spread my blockchain-explorer http://bchain.info. It does not support BURST unfortunately.

uray has a nice v2 pool with no deadline limit and 1.5 fee. crowetic has someone developing an all-in-one downloader/miner/plotter for Windows with optimizations in a couple days. That's pretty much it, everything else is economics concerning a larger exchange(s) taking Burst and the occasional FUDder....lol

Still in need of a PR team to push this thing to the upper limits.

Uray--can you help me with connecting to your pool?  I submitted the address relocation and waited four+ rounds.

Here is my run_mine.bat:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx750m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner mine "http://burst-pool.cryptoport.io:80"%*


If I use the stock one you included then it just crashes, but with this one I am getting occasional "Unable to get mining info from wallet," while it appears to be mining at other times.

My account and address are 1409859585678 / LU4T-RXBX-SF69-EBVWT, but not seeing either show up on the pool.

Am I mining and connected?  If not, what do I need to change in the run_mine.bat?

Thanks!

Hey everyone

I've been out of the loop for a while here. Can you guys fill me in on what's been happening recently with regards to development? From what I gather over the last few posts, community devs have step forward to help with develpment, am I correct?

Java itself is good, it's javascripts that has security issues.
