I have make this conf, but i think it's not good! Find only 4 in 4 days?

Can someone tell me if my conf is good or not?

Thanks

With my laptop and 571GB found 3 in 4 days, so i think it's good! Difficulty is rising!

If you want to see if they overlap, go to https://bchain.info/BURST/tools/overlap and paste the plots name!

Thanks for info!

I have this result :
8130010810251XXXX_899654_1015685_8191: Number of nonces (1015685) is not a multiple of stagger size (8191)
Plots 813001081025XXXXX_1915339_1015684_8191 and 8130010810251XXXXX_2922833_2031616_4096 overlap (8190 nonces)

I need to delete some plot and restart or i can stay like that?

I mentioned earlier today that I was going to do a redesign of the Burst UI + a new logo. Well now I've completed both of those, take a look at the screenshots below (Please let me know if there is anything I've left out or if there's anything odd in the design) :

http://i57.tinypic.com/xekakm.png

http://i60.tinypic.com/2s1oi2v.png

http://i59.tinypic.com/2zptb3k.png

http://i59.tinypic.com/fo14pe.png

Here is the link to the files for the UI : https://github.com/Wulfcastle/Burst-UI

How to Install :

1. Download this repo to your PC
2. Navigate to the root of your Burst folder, e.g. C:\Burst\burst_1.0.0
3. Copy and Paste the "html" folder from this repo over the existing "html" folder in your Burst root folder, overwriting previous files.

Note :

This redesign only changes the CSS & HTML files that are used on the front-end of the NRS server that runs Burst, no back-end code has been edited, nor has any of the core functionality been edited in any way.

Just looking for some feedback, what do you guys think about this logo?

I love it!

i like it too! thanks for sharing

Wow! this is gorgeuos compared to the original Burst interface. Also @burstcoin, any chance to change the original logo to something else like this, the current logo looks like sh!t it must be said.

I got a 3TB Hard-Drive, in terms of mining how does this compare to others? Also considering the fact that OS's use a max of 2TB and need the remaining 1 TB to be unlocked, will Burst utilise the remaining 1 TB?

it have no matter whether you use what cpus, cpu only affects on the how many time you will spent on creating plots., and after finish creating plots, it will determined buy your hdd's capacity, and it will have nothing to do with asic miners at all.
for how many money you will get from this coin,,i think it defined by how many times you will spend until you will find a coin by your 240GB,,it is too small for now, and you can wait the pools out,,

I didn't say I had 240 GB of free space, I said I had a bunch of 160 and 80 gb laptop drives I could plug in and use. But I'd have to run a separate instance of mining for each hard drive, correct?

Can someone summarize the important points of this coin for me in a single post? I've been reading the topic and getting a bit here and a bit there.

you can link plot files from different dirves into your mining folder ... search for 'mklink' and you will find related posts ...

Not for now, but the community is here if you'll find some trouble! Look at the how-to in the first page!

how to now from a plot file size wich nonce was last one ?

- Plots dont need to be in order
- Just pick a nonce big enough so they dont overlap

Thanks!
ps
bigger then 10.000.000 will be ok ?

Sure! 64 bits to use.

so ..,asic still can be produced to mine this coin?

The algorithm takes quite a lot of memory, 256kb per thread, so its from the ASIC perspective closer to Litecoin/Scrypt than to Bitcoin.

The Scrypt miners took years to get where they are now, rough estimate: factor 100 (same power consumption). So thats 3.5TB with 200W of power in BURST.

..., we can always adjust the miningplot constants to increase the ram. Using a larger buffer, but decreasing the hash cap by the correct amounts could result in roughly the same computation complexity as exists now, but with a much higher ram requirement per thread. This would be negligible for pcs, but could cause gpus to not be able to use all their cores due to lack of ram.

i wonder whether the passphrase ppl are using has any baring on the luck ppl are experiencing. i for one used lastpass to generate a 100 character passphrase consisting of only characters that look like random combination of words joined together.

I can assure you: The passphrase has nothing to do with your chances of finding a block.

About the GPU issue:
I've just finished an OpenCL-Test-Implementation. On an R280X it takes ~22s for 10k nonces, assuming the final hashes are pre-calculated. With a block time of 5 minutes that GPU equals ~35GB of disk space while consuming 200W of power. No real alternative.

your code would be perfect to generate the plotfiles but i am not aware if java supports opencl in a way it is useful.
http://www.jocl.org/

This library offers Java-Bindings for OpenCL that are very similar to the original OpenCL API. The functions are provided as static methods, and semantics and signatures of these methods have been kept consistent with the original library functions, except for the language-specific limitations of Java. The OpenCL API may be very verbose at some points, and this is not hidden or simplified, but simply offered by JOCL as-it-is.

Why even use Java? It'll be a small C tool that generates exactly the same files. But - its still far from being done.

Just read the first 5 pages here, then some random pages after that, like page 40, 50, 60, 95,96,97, etc.

Not sure what to think of it.

Here's by far the most important question about BURST coin - How much money can I get out of it? Cool

If it doesn't get me lots of money, then it's just another useless crapcoin with a different algorithm.

Is it ASIC proof since it uses hard drives?

There's no need for the computer to even have a GPU? Does it make any difference if you're running a Sempron 145 CPU or a top end i7?

This could create a run on large hard drives, like the huge surge of buying GPUs last winter?

Just out of laziness, I'd like it better if I could plug a bunch of hard drives into one computer and let it use them all as one.

I've got a bunch if laptop hard drives laying around, mostly 80 and 160 GB units, might as well put them to use. IF this crapcoin is even worth the effort.

Is this coin on any exchanges yet?

it have no matter whether you use what cpus, cpu only affects on the how many time you will spent on creating plots., and after finish creating plots, it will determined buy your hdd's capacity, and it will have nothing to do with asic miners at all.
for how many money you will get from this coin,,i think it defined by how many times you will spend until you will find a coin by your 240GB,,it is too small for now, and you can wait the pools out,,
