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

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.

We need the pool v2 as quickly as possible because for the moment all the blocks goes to the same hands (people have lot TB)
Thank you for returning fairer BUSRT for all the miners! For it pool v2 is essential!!
Thanks
pool v2 is important but i think if people with multi terrabyte move to the pool the payout gets lower for small miners than its currently.Thank you for returning fairer BUSRT for all the miners! For it pool v2 is essential!!
Thanks
I'm just afraid for the future value of BURST when I see people with millions in their wallet!
Don't look at other wallets. Look&keep your own

somebody is really buying burst on c-cex from what i can see
yep prices are starting to take off August 27, 2014, 02:33:53 PM

prices are still extremely low, it's a great time to buy, I would probably buy if I had any extra cash that I wasn't throwing at hard drives. lol

so what is most everybody doing now? Pool mining or Solo? Ive heard mixed opinions some say if you dont have at least 4tb+ then its best to pool mine and others say 2tb+. What does the community say?
Now probably 4TB and up for solo, anything below should be pool mined. Just waiting for the dev to make pool v2 to use the solo plots for pool mining.
Im at 8 TB. Nothing in 24 hours.
I would say 10 TB or more
More likely, I haven't got anything for 48 hours with ~3tb. Hope the v2 pool comes out today.
Will it be posted in the OP when released? I definitely do not wanna have to replot lol

I like to announce:
The Plot-generator rewritten in C!
It has several advantages over the one written in Java:
- About twice as fast
- Support for larger stagger sizes, only limited by system memory
- More efficient memory handling. With just 3GB you can use Stagger size 8191, with 8GB 24000 is possible. Plots with larger stagger sizes are better, as they require less disk seeks to be read.
You need a 64bit Linux environment to run this. Maybe someone can port it to Windows?
How to run it:
Download, unpack (tar -xzf plotgenerator.tgz), compile (make)
Then use the same command line options as with the Java-generator:

the issue i see with windows is that ntfs only supports 2tb volumes and if someone supplies a gpu miner for windows people start to cry they cant partition their usb3 disk into one volume.
Thats not true... NTFS can go to 16tb on 4k cluster size, with 64k cluster, you get 256tb
I think you may be referring to the 2tb MBR partition limit. Use GPT partition (vista and higher), the limit is 16 exabytes.
GPT volume is way better in scaling compared to MBR. NTFS file system is ok, but EXT3/EXT4 is more efficient.
just made the volume 2tb and it worked but i am no windows pro and exactly that was my point in the post
i run all storage apps on xfs and in some special cases on zfs.
ZFS is robust in FreeBSD environment. I use it in my FreeNAS server and it that can be used for mining via network drive, but I keep it for my backups and DLNA server. Plex server is pretty good in FreeNAS.

Can't buy coins, I still have 0.8 BTC tied up in CRYPT coin, waiting for it to rise. I have told the developers how I will trash Mindfox, The Greasy Greek from Greece's name on any coin he works on if I don't get my 0.8 BTC back and they should just pay me off to keep me quiet, but they are still considering my offer.
I can mine only. Selling off a few of my GPUs to finance hard drives.
most of my playmoney is tied up in mcxnow feeshares since last december. i could have sold them for about 25 btc but kept them.I can mine only. Selling off a few of my GPUs to finance hard drives.
hope for some magic to happen there.
for now i also can only mine coins and i have a good feeling that burst becomes huge.
