How can I setup wallet to listen to not only to localhost, but on my specified local IP address?

how to start mining? my run_generate.bat keeps pop up and close... the guide from OP doesnt help. I have no idea what the guide is on about...

If anyone can shed some light onto this, it would be great.
I don't get why the stagger is 8191 maximum. Code limited or because of memory allocation by the OS?
I am generating plots at 60000 under linux and it works fine. My next question would be if I still can use these files. Or, if I go higher than 8191 and keep it a 8191 multiple, will it work then?
Asked burstcoin dev but no answer until now, so maybe one of you guys know something.
Thanks

i cannot start generate plots on linux ... i got this error : Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for 4096000KB object heap
Can someone explein me what is wrong ?

someone rember the run_generate page config in this topic?

Aaah, I found my first block 
Haha, its funny that I feel much better about finding a block than I ever felt solomining some random GPU coin.

In the miner, what is the meaning of all the parts it keeps spitting out - and why does it repeat it so many times before submitting a block?
I think I have a basic understanding... how's this?
"baseTarget" - the number under which you need to generate to submit a share?
"height" - is the block number we are currently working on.
"generationSignature" - is just the hash stuff, mostly irrelevant to most people.
"New Best" - your generated payment address:number you generated below the baseTarget to be submitted.
"deadline" - I've heard this is the number of seconds before which if no one submits a lower share you get the block. This seems oversimplified, but maybe not?
The huge number of repeat {"baseTarget".... ... } lines, does each one represent a value calculated that isn't low enough to have a share submitted? Also, why do all three of my miners seem to generate nothing (non-submittable shares) for a few minutes then all submit several shares in a few seconds, all at the same time?
Code:
{"baseTarget":"23359889","height":"6460","generationSignature":"2f891ba0d68d6a9aa709ae56415accbb00382404f77ff98f3547be7a9722b100"}
Code:
New best: 8667538425315684595:146090
Submitting share
{"result":"success","deadline":290772}

number (starting nonce) (number of nonces to plot) (memory allocation) (number of cores)
Take that and combine with the guide and i'm sure you'll figure it out.

OK, thanks, I didn't scroll down to the bottom of the guide to see the 256kb*X formula ... sorry
OK, I've started the C-version of plot (on linux), I can see process "plot" running at one core 100% (I have 12 cores and I started plot with 12 cores/threads) .... is this normal? Also, I don't see any file being created, does it first fill the memory and then flushes to disk?
*edit: yes, this turned out to be true (I have lots of RAM - 144GB) therefore the "initial" phase obviously took a while and now it runs at full speed with all 12 cores being utilized and I can see file being created under "plots" directory...

Hello, Burst community!
We are near block 6500, any news about the pool v2 release?
Hope it is release today!

Only found 1 block yesterday, then I realized... I had over guessed the number of nonces to plot...
and WHEN YOU DO THAT IT ERASES THE PLOT AND STARTS OVER!!!
so make sure you calculate the number of nonces correctly, or you'll be re-plotting 2TB like I am now. (facepalm)

How do you mean that " I had over guessed the number of nonces to plot... "
Sorry for bad english.
What I mean is... I set the number too high, and when it got to the end, and the drive was full, but due to my dumb-(ness?) instead of stopping, it started over, and re-plotted the same space it just did.
Because of this, I would now suggest that people do a bunch of smaller plots, as opposed to one large one. Just a thought.

A few questions I couldn't find answers for:
How can I specify what is the maximum space that BURST takes? Or how does this exactly works, it creates a big file on hard drive?
Also, does the speed of mining (hashrate) depend on how powerfull the CPU is? Or is the hard drive free space the only performance parameter?

You set the number of nonces, you can get this info from the guide. The CPU only matters during plotting, after that it barely gets used.
Hmm, "nonces" are not mentioned neither in windows or linux guide ... can you please point me to the guide where it shows how to set the size I want to use for mining BURST?
You're going to have to do a little reading, then if you have specific questions, I would be more than happy to answer them. What I can tell you is this...
account number (starting nonce) (number of nonces to plot) (memory allocation) (number of cores)
Take that and combine with the guide and i'm sure you'll figure it out.

+ 10k Burst from me.
@ Burstdev Can we Donate for a Homepage? I think that would be important to attract more investors and also for a larger echange. Many do not want to buy on c-cex.

Thank you, OP updated

I have 1 hdd and I use 1 address. My latest plot on hdd1 is 800000. If I add second hdd should I start make plots from 800001 or can I start from 0?
it the first is
0 800000
the secound would be
800000 800000
(no problem if you start higher)
If the first one is 0 800000
Shouldn't the second one be
800001 800000?
To avoid any overlap?

Well....I think,we need our own forum for this coin.It is only 3 weeks old and 208 pages... 
Allso will be great if we can find some trusted person who can create and hold wallet for bounties.
If community will like it,I can make one,but I don't think what community will trust to man with 130 posts.
And couple words about plotting with gpu's...Dev said he has working programm,and that means,he using it for himself right now.I think,a lot of people will cry here about it after some time.
Dev has made a lot of work and of course,he wold like to use it for himself to get paid for this work,but we can set bounty to him for gpu plott's generator.I will lovely put 9k of burst to this bounty from my pocket.

It was me that wrote about the OpenCL plot program, dev does not have one as far as I know.
Its not working btw - has some race condition and produces plot files that are only 90% accurate. I'm working on a C miner and porting it to windows currently, so the gpu plotter has low priority.
