Topic: [ANN][BURST] Burst | Efficient HDD Mining | New 1.2.3 Fork block 92000 - page 111. (Read 2170889 times)

Sorry about the payment not going out yet @ ByteEnt holders, you can see @ the blockex that I've made the payment transfers INTO the ByteEnt wallet, simply haven't made the transfers to the holders yet... as tiga is generally the one who does this. But I think this time it is going to be myself... so... I'm going to figure it out real quick, how to use tiga's payout script.

Upon the completion of the 'figure it out' stage, I shall probably run a fraction payout test. All goes well, THEN I will run main payouts. I would really hate for my first payout to require a refund back into the account from the holders, what a nightmare...

But, luckily, since tiga's work is usually easy to follow and well documented, I should be able to run the payouts without issue, hopefully here in the next short while.

I didn't even sleep last (this) night, because I had so much to do and so much to prepare for the next day (today?) ugh... So bare with me everyone, I've just got quite a bit on my plate right now.

-----@elmit's questioning of my nefariousness in data storage, there will be nothing like THAT being hosted there, and if I happen to notice a user's share link that has something like that, it shall be disabled. I'm not about hosting a location for people to place illegal whateverthefucks. If they're going to do that, it can be under their  name encrypted with their key, and not viewable to anyone but them, that way my well-worded page that will explain the fact that I DO NOT MONITOR THE DATA ACTIVELY, AND THUS TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT THE USERS HAVE THERE. Then provide a set of guidelines as far as what is acceptable and what isn't. By accepting the account, you'll automatically accept the rules therein, and that's that. I don't think I will ever get big enough to actually have to worry about whatever anyway, but if so, I guess that is when my lawyer friend may come in handy, and we can set a more strict set of guidelines.... But my overall goal is to NOT be looking at the files that are placed there, so a policy TO do that, is against what I'm going for. I'm certain there's some legal jargon way of saying "the only part of this that is owned by me, is the concept and setup of the software's configuration files. The platform is open source, the server is rented, and the hard drives are as well. Everything is virtual, so there isn't anything really there anyway, right?" Or something such as this. The files are the user's responsibility, if the user decides he has a different responsibility, it is upon him. The only way I will notice, is if they're posting public share links, so I will monitor for strange server usage, and go from there.----

So, anyway, I think I should have a pretty close to synchronized burst wallet here somewhere, gimme a couple minutes to see and I'll post an update on the status.


My next goal is to fully automate this process, so that I don't have to worry about manually doing payouts anymore, or at the very least, mostly automate it...

I'm teaching myself all sorts of nonsense nowadays, may as well add that to the list. ttys.

Grats!

You can also receive monthly dividend payments from the ByteEnt and Income assets.  ByteEnt generates burst via mining pool fees and other sources, and income generates btc from investments in bitcoin casinos and by trading altcoins, and uses it to buy burst on exchanges in order to pay out.

I have successfully received my first payment from a Burst asset! Since I am getting to know Burst even more everyday, it is nice to see how assets work within the BURST system. Thanks for the payment! 

Great work!

For all asset holders here is the spreadsheet link so you can see exactly what you made what was sent and what addresses receved what.

All asset payments have been made for a total of over 120k Burst payed out as your first payment.

I will post a direct document on the Playground as well for all to view.

If you are on the playground but are not set as an asset please contact Lenore and I will change your usergroup to fit your asset title.

Thank you all

Join Us On The PLAYGROUND

All asset payments will be issued today to asset holders.

Was suppose to be yesterday but did not get the time to issue the asset payments.

I will get them sent out today to all holess and issue a report here and on BurstPlayground.net

And to let everyone know the playground is growing

Had a small rush of guests and members yesterday of 31 users.

Highest as of yet.  And are up to 26 members.  I am working on a campaign for multiple sites for advertising so I hope this brings in more members.

Also added more content yesterday.

Guides, the faucet link, added assets and descriptions, and more.

Will be adding new content daily.

Also. Drew 2 winners.  One received 9,000 burst and the other received 1,700 Burst.

Congrats to the winners. The addresses were posted for each drawing on the playground.

Once more people get in the drawing the drawing will be drawn on schedule.

Thank you all for the support.

Stop in check it out if you havnt.  It's still a work in progress and are working on live games aswell.

And yes I am illiterate .  LOL

Hiatch was made a MOD and will be correcting some issues in his free time.

Again thank you all for the support.

NXT itself seems to be in basically freefall. JamesHODL or whatever has been promising Supernet forever, and there are some improvements, but with an initial distribution to 60 odd people and no "killer app"™, I think NXT may be in more trouble than a fairly distributed coin/asset like BURST.

No it diminished a lot. Wait the few days. Otherwise you lose more money.

I agree so far that the biggest risk is that NXT will eat burst at some time... but if that does not happen, if burst gains some features of its own, there is room to rise, even when all coins are distributed it is not entirely obvious if nxt or burst has the most practical way of keeping transactions running. NXT gives more power to those who own a lot of NXT, BURST gives more votes to those who have lots of terabytes of harddisk space.

Another problem with burst is that we are currently still shellshocked by the lead developer dissapearing - there is no core developer group, and none of us in the shadows have had time to take over ( or have had potentially hostile motives and been chased away ).

Most of this is well priced in, as burst is down like 5 times its price since when burstcoin was still here.


so..  this is an extreme lottery ticket.  If a developer finds himself between jobs, he'll buy up some BTC worth of burst, take the project lead job, and take the price back up 500% in weeks.  If the developer then succeeds with showing progress and a decentralized development structure, we could be aiming at a good bite off NXT's marketcap. If we play nice and help NXT to implement whatever cool stuf we invent, we get synergy and the two coins could rise together and eat most other altcoins. The tech is way advanced over bitcoin and its copies, but we need someone to gamble big and spend half a year of developer / project lead time to tie the knots.

payoff?  potential 100 bagger from here. And whoever takes the proj. lead will probably have loaded up bigtime on BURST coins before that.. so watch the markets for accumulation. watch the rich list..

BURST is a crapcoin that will never succeed and you're all wasting your time with it.  You're really stupid to have kept it going this long.

I'm with you as well. If we could manage to continue with Burst development, it will grow its attention from other users out there and increase price and demand. A new announcement would be the perfect idea with updated links to block explorer, an updated site, and a new wallet as well. Also, it would not be a bad idea if by then a Burst wallet would be made which it would be mobile device compatible (Android/iOS). It all needs good marketing and a really good dev and community for it to succeed. When I first got into Burst, I got interested by its features (asset exchange, smart contracts, and a good wallet UI) Just hope for it to have a price increase someday. I am very optimistic. 

I took a substantial loss on my bankroll investments on Betking and Safedice last night as well, I'd wait until the whales shake out again before paying dividends.

It seems like we took a little bit of drawdown right before we were to pay our dividends, we are still in profit but it has diminished a bit:




What are the odds? We must be unlucky these days.

Should we pay the dividends today, or should we wait a few more days to recover back to normal?

I wish you to succeed on that.
Look at Megaupload, Kim Dot Com, Lavabit email service, ...
You are American, you do not need to be extradited. To my understanding you cannot even have the server in USA.
I could only imagine to use onion network for that, multiple links to the Internet, ... a lots more than a headless VM setup.

Anyway good luck.

Alright, seems most people are up for this idea, I'll need to check it out with a couple of the team and see if we've got a link to the main OP data we'd been setting up, and verify all the links there are the ones that we're currently using, as I do believe a few have changed. But I can get this accomplished with the assistance of the team (glances at H... ) as soon as possible.

But I agree that the OP here being non-updated-in-forever is an issue, and we need to be able to accurately attract newer people via the first post, and not have them continuously find dead links. The coin isn't dead and that gives the wrong impression.

Since when have you known me to be directly for-authority?

But since you bring it up, no, I will not be spying on anything and neither will anyone else. IF I end up having to hire another admin to help with the project, if it gets to that point, I will hire someone trustworthy and there will be continued the policy of not spying.

I will not ask you to sign over your data like 'ahem DROPBOX does, and I will never misuse my admin power at all, as 1. It is stupid. 2. It is wrong, and 3. I simply don't have time for such nonsense that will do nothing but cause me issues unnecessarily.

But... I'm getting things setup now to move the setup to my final host location. New server on a new VMWare host, and almost the entire hardware of the host is dedicated to the VM being setup for this particular installation. It will be increased when need be, and everything will be mirrored. The files themselves are encrypted and the connection will have an SSL cert from most likely something like namecheap, so that it will not give any of the stupid messages, even though those certs (self signed) are probably MORE secure, especially since it is me doing it, but yea... The server's data will also have another backup off-site done every (month?? Not sure yet on that) and eventually, when things get moving more, I'll send another server of my own for colo in my data host location, with even more backup location, for a 'hot' backup on a separate host, and there will be much more I will do as far as that goes, but for now, I think locally redundant with offsite backups done monthly or so should be good. Of course, the server will also sync the data with any other device based on preferences set by the user on installations of the client on whatever devices, and will also automatically upload pictures from mobile devices, etc.

There's a lot more that can be done, like linking of external data sources, i.e. Google Drive, and any FTP server, etc. Which then retains an encrypted copy of even normal FTP data server information for sync/backup/etc. The server maintains a global copy of everything, then whatever you choose to sync with whatever else, is done automatically just like dropbox. (with desktop app installed.)

So, does this sufficiently answer your question?

This is something I basically started as something fun that I just wanted to setup, and it has become something that I think people will like, and so I thought I might give it as a service, and maybe it will go somewhere. I've already got a few clients that will definitely be interested, and some that have already expressed interest in such a service.  Not to mention, the base software (ownCloud) is fully customizable, and really cool. I will be doing many modifications to it to allow for pretty much anything you can think of, and will also develop my own custom additions at some point for other purposes. The potential there is limitless, so I'm pretty excited.


But, I gotta get back to making the base setup happen for now. Talk to ya'll later.

NSA approved or NSA resistant?

Sounds great.

I'm up for that as well.  I think it needs a fresh Ann regardless of who posts it.  However you do have a great reputation here.  In my opinion I would rather see it from you then someone with 10 posts and no rep.

I think part of the issue with Burst is its just here.  The [ANN] is outdated, links don't work.  May hinder a few from joining Burst.  Slowing the market.

We need the fresh [ANN] and other services.  That is if we want Burst to go further and increase in price.  That is one of the reasons why I started the Playground.  Even though there is much much more work to do.  Burst needs more value.

Something as simple as a fresh [ANN] just might help that knowing that it is supported and in circulation.  And that the usage of the coin is increasing.  I think anything we can do to increase it value and usage will increase its price and market support.

A good Dev  and strong support will help this coin.  Personally I really like this coin.  I believe it can turn out to be a great coin with more support.

Just my 2 cents.

okay with me. I am 100% confident you'll turn over control to the BurstDevTeam user once it is good to go ( and be part of the team of course )

perhaps start with the OP, then put up a new post from the BurstDevTeam user, asking people to tell a bit about themselves... then we can get some traffic fast, and newcomers will get an idea about who's doing what.
