Too add some speed comparisons, a 2xE5-2650v2 (when the plotgen is compiled with march=native and -O3, though that doesn't appear to make a difference in my limited testing) gets around 14000 nonces a minute, which clocks out to a bit over 200GB an hour, or around 4.6TB/day.

Can I specify a folder to generate? for example another disk?
You can by running the plot-executable from another directory:
cd /mnt/disk
/home/me/plot 1234 0 10000 10000 8
places the plotfile to /mnt/disk

is this a acceptable speed, or do i loose too much by using vm?! threads running on i7@~3.9Ghz ...
Xeon E3-1245, 3.3Ghz:
41 Percent done. 3580 nonces/minute
i7-3770, 3.4Ghz
46 Percent done. 4252 nonces/minute
i7-4770k @ 4.0Ghz:
2 Percent done. 4942 nonces/minute
Phenom 2 1090T, 3.2Ghz 6-core:
0 Percent done. 3301 nonces/minute

Interesting idea, although I dont see how in the long run it would change anything. If it catches on people will compete with their HDD size rather than hashrate.
Really? I'd say Burst is a brilliant idea. Truly anyone can mine Burst on their laptop or home computer without ever raising their power bill. CPU coins are meant to be mineable by everyone, but botnets ruin their profitability. Not to mention electricity.
ASIC coins require special hardware so they're off the board.
GPU coins are a nice medium between CPU and ASIC coins because GPUs are common, but they're power hungry.
PoS coins are energy efficient and mineable by everyone, but only if they buy coins first.
Almost everyone has an HDD...

wow, the price raise with steady..those who throw their coin at 0.009btc/block must be regret now,,they will find these coin were not easy to mine back

It provides a mechanism to prove ownership and use of some form of resource, without requiring large amounts of electricity and heat dissipation, which are two of the largest complaints about Bitcoin's PoW system.

Sure, but also won't be taking a billion watts of power to run. There will always be a competition somewhere. May as well not take (in my case 550+ dollars a month) to run GPU rigs or the like.

if i renamed plots name from pool address to my wallet address... i can solo mine?
You'll have to regenerate the plots, as the data inside them is linked to the pool account.
However, there may be a migration means to v2 for v1 plots, that is up in the air. Might not want to delete them until you get more information on this.

Yes just replace the X's with your wallet address: run_generate.bat XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 0 1000000 5000 4 August 27, 2014, 07:49:59 PM

price has bursted on c-cex
still too cheap, we expect 1 burst = thousands satoshi

Hi,
I'm new to the coin, started plotting today for solomining. Surprisingly, I've already seen a few deadlines below 2000, but no luck so far (although most are much higher). Anyone know how low the deadlines should be to have a chance to get a block?
Thanks

see here http://burst.cryptoport.io/stat
this is the distribution of deadline (in seconds) that resulted in block found, coin spec is saying 240 secs blocktime, so difficulty will adjusted so that miners can announce a block every 4 minutes, as you can see only 42 blocks are generated on > 1800 secs. so with your 2000 deadline, your chance found a block is 42/5668 = 0.74%

Its supposed to be around 4 minutes per block
4 * 60 = deadline of 240.
So in theory it should be 240 or less. Sometimes it's bigger sometimes less.

Incase you missed it.. Check out my review and Dev interview of BURST at CryptoTycoons.com

Very nice, I am reading it now. One thing I noticed right away, it's not 'more plots you have the more hashrate you have' necessarily... It's more space, so either bigger plots, or lots of little plots. But I'm stoked someone wrote another article! I will let you know my full opinion when I am finished. I am also going to follow you. Thanks!
edit: you also forgot to post the link to this ANN page.
also, this sentence, 'o make matters worse, the innovative new algorithm will force the whales who typically do most of the social media pumping to pass by this coin since there expensive mining rigs will be all but useless.'
The word 'there' is incorrect, it should be 'their'.
I would be more than happy to proof-read your articles and edit them for you, if you would like. Let me know! I am a sort of 'grammar nazi' lol.
This being said, I re-tweeted your article, and my offer stands to do your editing for you if you'd like. Thank you for supporting burst!
One thing though, the PR is rapidly developing, I know I for one tweet and talk in the chatboxes all the time, and tell people about burst, help them get started, explain everything, etc. So the coin does have people that are more than willing to promote it, myself included. It's just the fact that there are so many new coins emerging (you touched on this in the article) that people don't really give a coin a second look unless it's seriously something new and innovative. BURST is that.
Even if it's just a mining standpoint, this coin will attract a ton of people that don't want to spend a shitload on power, and/or don't have the power rates that I do here of just under .11 cents per kwh. With BURST mining, after the initial plot time, the mining is practically free. It costs as much as leaving your computer on, which I assume most people are like me in that respect, and leave them running all day every day.
People like me, can now mine this coin for 'free'. Amazing.
