I think we have so many questions, some are answered, some repeated and some unanswered.

we need to create some FAQ, maybe dev can put it on the first post, these are the questions i collected, please answer or improve it so later maybe dev can compile it into single FAQ and put it on front page

1. What is Burst unique features ?
2. What is Proof of Capacity?
3. How do I increase my mining performance ?
4. Where is the source code ?
5. What is the difference between Nxt based wallet and regular bitcoin-qt wallet
6. Which one is my public key?
7. Which one is my private key, and how do I backup it?
8. How do I know when i am mining correctly ?
9. Can i use multiple hard drive for mining?
10. what is plots, scoops and nonce-range?
11. what kind of component that affect mining performance ?
12. which one is better, single 1 TB drive or dual 500 GB drive ?
13. can i just copy my generated plots, and use it somewhere else ?
14. is there a mining pool ?
15. why there is no logo ?
16. Can the password be changed without restarting the plot creation?

just for example, i am answering

FAQ #15. why there is no logo ?

its on first post, dev say

No logo since I can't draw

For all of you: when you are going to dump your coin, think about how hard it was to set up everything and how difficult it was to find a block! Don't sell low and give this coin and this community a chance to grow!
However, is there any way to make an android wallet!? Is anyone able to create one!?

Found my First Block after 3h on my 30GB test plot.

Now I'm going to create more plots.

How long can i mine on one plot?

Is my external IP actually supposed to show up in the 'peers' section of my wallet? Because if so, I'm doinitrong.

Can anyone shed some light on this? There's definitely some people in peers. Wondering if I should actually be showing up in there.
I suppose I'm currently mining as my miner is submitting shares, so I'm not sure whether I should actually care about this.

So, what the numbers we should be concerned with as far as performance/hash?

When I try to run the wallet run.sh in Supervisor (or any monitoring program) it seems it can't find the files needed, absolute or relative paths don't seem to help.
Using directory to set the directory, works for the other two sh files but not the wallet it seems.

Yes, someone else will get it before you, most likely. However it's calculated (or dealt out, dunno) per block. So if you're lucky you'll get a lower one and be able to 'steal' the block.

The OP explains it :

I've read that but I can't really make sense out of it. I'm not that knowledgeable about this kind of stuff (yet?), so I'll just need to do my research Wink

How it works:
Miners generate and cache chunks of data known as 'plots', which are divided into 4096 portions known as 'scoops'.
Plots are generated by taking a public address and a nonce, then hashing it, pre-appending the resulting hash, repeating the hash-pre-append cycle many times, and then hashing the whole thing and xor'ing the last hash with the whole thing.
Plots are staggered together so chunks of the same scoop number are together, then written to disk.
Each block has a generation signature which is derived only from the previous block's generation signature and miner, so it is difficult to manipulate.
When mining, the scoop number to be used for a block is derived from the generation signature and the block height, so the miner reads all relevant scoops(each plot will have 1 relevant scoop, and staggering allows for larger sequential read with less seeking) Only 0.024% of the stored data will need to be read each block.
The generation signature is hashed with each scoop. 8 bytes are taken from the hash, then divided by a scaling factor(inverse difficulty)
The resulting number is a number of seconds. If that many seconds passes since the last block without a new one, the address/nonce combination used to generate that plot/scoop is eligable to announce a new block.
The miner's hardware can just sit idle until either that time or a new block.
The address/nonce is included in the block as proof of eligability, and the block is signed by that address.

Let;s hope this will be my 8th block:

{"result":"deadline: 1175"}
{"height":"606","generationSignature"

How you made this low deadline? Huh

? I allways get more than 100k.

Plots generated with x64 java on 1TB disk and much memory and luck.
Will tweak this later on.

Jus finished another plotted drive:

{"result":"deadline: 820"}
{"height":"609","generationSignature":

Is it worth to create lower nnonces? Or just create from 100k? i only wanna use 4GB but i wanna mine some coin what are you think? And what is "deadline" int mining?

both can work... but i think 4G space ..it is too hard to mine a block...

How many will be enought?

The more, the better - the most, the best. There's no stats available yet I think, so you can't really say anything meaningful about this..
I've seen multiple numbers come across, up to 15TB. So obviously their chances are... considerably higher.
