Look now at the blocks mined! I've seen lots of time that there is a big chance to hit two blocks in a row or between few blocks! Even if you have a small plot.. Yesterday I've hit two blocks in a row without low deadlines with 571GB on my notebook.. Just luck!?

Same now.. Two blocks in a row: 2155 - 2156! Like 2102 - 2103, or 2098 - 2099! Look at the blockchain!

Dev, is it normal?!

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.

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?

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) :









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

Is it OK for mining if I'll set 2 computers with same wallet (computers don't know about each other) and set, for example, plots 1-1000 on first computer and 1001-2000 plots on second one?

WTS 330k Burst for 2Btc

i give you 1 btc for that

Sry but I won't sell for that price

This coin has just to many bugs to be that expensive

too many bugs ,,,which coin have no bug first,this is totally new,only a week out, of course there are some bugs to be test by miners, and i don't think this bug affect so much, it is the same for everyone, if you think there are too many bugs, why you still offer 1btc to buy this coin? just buy the coin which have no bugs! lots of copy coin,so many sha256 copy and scrypt copy coins ,their code have little bugs now!
ps: i also think 330k for 2btc seems a little expencive for now,not for its "too many bugs",but for its difficulty.. 2btc can buy 12tb hdd..

30k burst for .1 here   Didn't find another block yet,  Were on block 2182 last one I found was 1921 with 850gb of space.  #40 something on charts.  Keeping the post block counts up for people who are interested.  I do have 2 miners running, one for 50gb plot and one for the 800gb.

May I remind you, mates, that it is possible to trade at Asset Exchange via BURST Gateway:

Burst

For those, who want to trade BURST, I've created the BURST Gateway on Nxt Asset Exchange (AE):

Asset Name: 1000BURST

Asset ID: 251006016744564741

Trading volumes: here or here.

Each one asset represents 1000 BURST coins.

In order to sell your BURTS coins with Asset Exchange, you should:
1] Obtain 1000BURST asset for your BURST coins;
2] Place sell order with your newly 1000BURST asset at Nxt Asset Exchange (see public Nxt nodes below);
3] When somebody buy you 1000BURST asset, you'll get some NXT coins (according to your price);
4] Sell that NXT coins at https://www.cryptsy.com/ or keep them if you want.

So, 1] to get 1000BURST asset just send your BURST coins to the BURTS Gateway address BURST-MCHC-LBKK-ZLZY-C3XL5 _and_ send an Arbitrary Message containing your NXT address (not in numeric, but in alpha-numeric format, like NXT-VVTV-U25N-U2FY-2V35H) to the same address.
(I'll send 5 NXT along with a 1000BURST assets to depositors who do not have any NXT, so that they will be able to place orders and pay 1 NXT network commission)

I know there's a problem with the difficulty adjustment. I'm testing out a fix on testnet right now.

this sounds like a plan but i think the main goal should be to develop a c version of the wallet and supply this to the exchanges.
the nxt hack at bter was only a matter of time cause all is based on java....
- this is FUD. But what else can you expect from a newbie ...
if this is FUD how can you explain why there are on regular base and not on demand critical security updates for JAVA advised?
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/alerts-086861.html

or compare the cve submission dates to patch availability:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/public-vuln-to-advisory-mapping-093627.html

now please tell me why i state a huge nxt hack was only a matter of time.

Really if Java was that bad, it's hard to understand why it is so widely used in the enterprise world. 

It's FUD because security is not about a vulnerability in Java. A vulnerability STILL needs some malicious code to run before it can be exploited- this is a problem because the average user do run such code every now and then, or another vulnerability in e.g. a browser is used to execute said code. In short don't run untrusted code and you'll be fine, properly firewall the system, and you'll be fine.
you currently mix up javascript and java but thats not the point here. the enterprise world loves java because its powerfull and can be secured by the application design. the most critical point in any design is to only allow defined and trusted network peers access to the java vm. in 99% of all enterprise apps this is done by secured networks. a core element of a wallet application design is to communicate with "anonymous" peers. firewalling a java wallet vm in a exchange environment may only be possible by analysing the traffic payload with snort or similar tools. then you let only pass "known good" packets. this is a really hard (if even possible) job to do which would not have to be done if the wallet code is ported to c. thats the point in my inital reply.

just playing with the api, maybe this output is interesting ... listing top blockfinders!

http://pastebin.com/4TnTjUAn


Great Job! This is one of the things we need. Some kind of a block explorer/ rich list.


added the balance to the blockfinder list ... analyze by yourself :-)
http://pastebin.com/HBFuBRL9

please make online service


just give me some time ... code is just quick and dirty right now ...

LIXE can you post how many users are mining burst

we need more power to be considered from exchange!

thanks!!!

...

Burst Blockfinder @ 2116
http://pastebin.com/YfZLt7SL
Woot.in the top 10 block finders.didnt expect that Grin

sry, no online service yet, but you can use the following to generate blockfinder-list by youself:
https://mega.co.nz/#!h5hBgQba!p8A7PR_JboGlakjyYP5DiCLbuHGH4pkgAYJ6X0GrGYM
your wallet has to be up and running ... i'm just using its api!
sources included, if you dont't trust me compile it yourself ...

usage:

save to text file:
Code:
java > blockfinder-list.txt -jar burst-blockfinder-0.1.0.jar localhost:8125

print to command line:
Code:
java -jar burst-blockfinder-0.1.0.jar localhost:8125

localhost:8125 ist default, not needed ... just to let you know how to change wallet url.

Still, any news about pools?
For a lot of miners it's getting harder to find blocks and are losing precious time.
Is there any mining profability calculator? Tongue I don't know if it's worth mining Wink

0.032 BTC / TB / day if people are really buying 10k for 0.04  Roll Eyes

(+/- 50%)

To expensive with a max coin amount of 2 Billion

you are looking too far in the future, during first month there will be < 100 million, so yes it can be too expensive, and yes it might be very cheap

Hello , you are using my logo, so it would be fair to receve some bounty for my work. 
- hi,
no problem, I've removed the image.
If you think that my goal is to gain money with this gateway, you are wrong.
i just exchange a few pm with dev burstcoin, and he helped me to understand how to start to mine and to generate address, and it was a success.
However, it is your call, to be only coin that doesn't have a logo, with a present one, and i am not selling the logo, just want bounty for helping spreading and better advertising the coin.
