I have a few projects I'm working on at the moment. What would you like to see next?

The Miner rewritten in C
I have this already running for me, but lots of variables are coded statically into it. It needs almost no memory, is a lot faster and supports multiple plot-directories and threads. Would be Linux only again.

Graphs
https://bchain.info/BTC/diff
Here I offer a lot of graphs for Bitcoin. With some adjustments I can also add BURST.

The Overlap-Tool improved
With some server-assistance it could also show which plots found a block so far. Also it could show unused nonce-ranges.

I would love to see the miner in C!

Of course, C miner.

The difficulty is getting much harder, with my 10+TB i'm only finding a block or two a day. This is good though! I'm glad the diff is so high!

Im at 10TB as well. haven't found one in about 20 hours. Must be a lot more people jumping in.

Client upgrade was super easy.

Kill the webclient (java window) with control+C. copy and paste the Burst_db folder from the 1.0.2 folder to the 1.0.3 folder and then click the run bat in the 1.0.3 folder.

You have to reload and re-login to the web interface but that's ridiculously easy

Left my miners up the whole time. Maybe 10 seconds of down time.

Great work as usual BurstCoin

Pool is just knocking blocks out of the park

is the pool working well, always show: no valid shares submit to the poll What's the problem.......

Yup, that's normal. Even with 1TB of plots pointed at the pool, you'll only find a share to submit to the pool occasionally.

What do plot files look like? What is being written to the hard drives?

If we could open the plot files on the screen, what would we see? A hell of a lot of numbers?

You will see Barney, the friendly, purple dinosaur.

He will proceed to tell you how happy you are as a family.

I have a remote machine with Ubuntu 14.04

I'm a complete newbie on linux. If someone can help me step by step I'll give 10'000 Burst when miner is running! I'm on freenode in the channel #Burstcoin, with the same username! Query me and let's start!

I've really helped the community with windows in my language, you can check here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/burst-unaltcoin-da-minare-con-lhard-disk-wallet-123-739507, but now I need help from linux experts!

EDIT: Found! Thanks!

dcct helped me! Sent his bounty! Transaction 15149085462339868855

Again, Thanks!

I have a couple of questions:

a) Does the effectiveness/performance of mining BURST depends on disk speed, disk size, both of them or also something else? If yes, are there any reference/baseline performance numbers?

b)

Quote from: burstcoin on August 09, 2014, 10:16:15 PM

dcct's plot generator(twice the speed, linux only): https://bchain.info/plotgenerator.tgz
Plot range checker: https://bchain.info/BURST/tools/overlap (thanks to dcct)
Plot merge tool(significantly reduce disk stress. linux only): https://bchain.info/merge.c (thanks to dcct)

Can somebody explain how can I actually use these performance tips, where and how do I use these files (on CentOS Linux)?

Thanks!

a) disk speed doesnt matter, disk size (plot size) is your hashrate.

b) if you plot your files with in order, you don't need a range checker. The merge tool I never used. The plot generator you have to unzip and compile in the terminal of your linux. You will find the solution out there or in dcct's posts.
