Getting "could not reserve enough space for object heap" when trying to generate plots
Use a smaller value instead of 8191 then, and make the number of plots a multiple of that. 8191 is ideal if you have a lot of ram, but unusable if you don't. Try 4000 or something instead. Higher numbers cause less HDD seeking while mining, but take more ram to generate.

I'm totally mining this. Brain going wild trying to think of ways to extract value from the concept.

have you looked at storj.io?
I will now. Thanks.

'missing args' error when i run run_generate.bat
You need to give it command line parameters.
Follow the quickstart in the readme:
Quote
Quickstart(for windows):
Sync your clock. Go to set date/time -> Internet time, and manually make it sync.
Java must be installed and runnable from the command line.
Put a long password in passphrases.txt
Run run_dump_address.bat
Copy the long number generated after your password from address.txt
Now you can run run_generate.bat like this "run_generate.bat 8191
The number of plots should be a multiple of 8191.
This will generate plots with nonces from up to . Don't make overlapping ranges.
When your client is running and synced, run run_mine.bat to start mining.
You can mine while still generating plots. The miner will throw some read errors, but you can ignore them.
Use the password from before to access your coins in the wallet.

Is there any technical whitepaper guys?

Password will be released in 40 minutes. I'll do some kind of write up here on usage some time before then probably. If not, there is also a guide in the archive.
File size is large due to jar dependencies.

Thanks! I'm setting mine up right now. Can't wait to join the race for blocks.

So a basic understanding of what you are trying to do??
Basically we are just mining with our hard drive space capacity...so there is nothing useful being stored on our drives other than creating plots and scoops...Nobody is storing things on our computers nothing "useful"
Yes, it is an alternative to POW or POS for running a blockchain, not a 'useful' service.Basically we are just mining with our hard drive space capacity...so there is nothing useful being stored on our drives other than creating plots and scoops...Nobody is storing things on our computers nothing "useful"
Still on target for launch tonight?
Yes.

Correct, it would just be very large blocks of very random data, unique to your storage space.

NXT(which this is a fork of) uses a deadline system for its POS system. If I recall correctly it figures out how long it will be until elapsed time * balance maintained over the last 24 hours will become larger than a value derived from hashing information from the previous block with the public key holding that balance.
Interesting. I never bothered looking at NXT much. I dislike Java. I'll have to find a good overview somewhere, thanks.
I know ltc testnet and such use time-based deadlines on difficulty, as well, but that is slightly different.

Do you need one large drive to mine or are multiple drives supported?
By the way, I've started up #burstcoin on Freenode. Just PM me w/ your IRC nickname and I'll make you server admin.

Technically, this mining process can be mined POW-style, however mining it as intended will yield thousands of times the hashrate, and your hardware will sit idle most of the time. Continuously hashing until a block is found is unnecessary, as waiting long enough will cause any nonce to eventually become valid.
Doesn't this imply an optimum by "doing both?" Can you just keep a cache over your plot hashing work instead of storing all of the scoops themselves, and balance the trade-off to your hardware by adjusting cache size and expiration? It feels like this might have a unique inflection point on memory hardness. I'm not sure if this would be good news or bad news.
I do like the mechanism for handling block interval. Having advance knowledge as to when you will default to having found a block may have some interesting implications. Are there any other coins that work in this fashion of claiming a pre-signed ticket after some expiration? Does this make such a network particularly susceptible to some of the social engineering attacks?
This might actually be a coin to watch. Though I remain particularly skeptical of any ANN before seeing source code, this one has some of my interest for the moment.
Well your maximum possible hashrate certainly would be doing both, however it's more of an efficiency issue. Tripling or more the electric draw for an extra 0.1% hashrate is just a really bad deal.
NXT(which this is a fork of) uses a deadline system for its POS system. If I recall correctly it figures out how long it will be until elapsed time * balance maintained over the last 24 hours will become larger than a value derived from hashing information from the previous block with the public key holding that balance.
Yo said that is is based off of the NXT source code, but that's primarily PoS. How will NXT's 'forging' tab be changed? And do you think that pools will be possible early on since this is a new algo?
NXT's POS system has been removed and replaced with the new algorithm. Regarding pools, take a look as my post here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8281535
