Can anybody add this coin to yobit

https://yobit.net/en/addcoin/

I`d be glad to buy some over there, i don't want to make an account in other exchanges. It might boost it's price

What's on the horizon for BURST? I'm holding.

So... why the hell not...? Your reasoning is as bad it can be: Spread the word is key to taking off. + this coin is lacking a coherent, accessible presentation of its foundation, innovations and features.


Btw, any other ideas for the one year anniversary coming up in a week, PR people?

why is the monthly payout of the asset bdebank not equal to 2%? did i missed something about it? the previous payouts were ok and the service paid as promised.

Nope.

Burst doesn't need a book right now. We need a book AFTER we take off ;P

Would the Burst community be interested in a book on its first year history similar to this book:

Have a look at some nxt stuff. It is super easy with the token generation system. You can login to a site with a token generated through the cog in the wallet. Also, you will find that there are plugins for wordpress built on nxt, which can be easily ported.

i am not sure wether a id system is worth the efforts put into development since nobody would have to use it if there are different options.
what i think what we need are some more generic approaches for services payed in burst with.
i dont know what servers you have running and if you are hosting any services.
i may assist you in generating website user logins/tokens you can purchase in the marketplace.
eg. if you host a site for which you can buy premium membership you may buy this from the marketplace as token.
the structure would be like this:
-someone purchases a premium membership from within the burst marketplace
-a burstdb based backend on your server identifies the purchase and sends a encrypted message with login information to the buyer

this may also be integrated into existing infastructures. the tricky part would be to make the website interact with the burstdb backend.
currently the burstdb knows all transactions and their types. the only required addons would be some additional code to monitor marketplace trades and to send out messages.
if someone is familar with developing wordpress plugins we may provide a burst plugin as payment processor for tipping and purchasing premium access.

  

I will try to get BitID installed on one of my servers. It is a way to authenticate to a web site. We know similar ways, like Login with Facebook, Twitter or Google.
I use MyCelium wallet and it works fine for that.
Has anybody setup a website with BitID already?

If I succeed I want to modify it to use BURST addresses to do the same. On Github is a pull request already for other coins. Maybe we can jump on that and fork it to a BURSTid.
Is anybody interested in that?

Bittrex:
Buy order book: 2.9868 BTC worth of BURSTs
Sell order book: 653.1025 BTC worth of BURSTs

Poloniex:
Buy order book: 8.6105 BTC worth of BURSTs
Sell order book: 147.1715 BTC worth of BURSTs

In my opinion not a healthy trade status.

We need to create a NEED for BURSTs, so that trading can start.

Further, look at your wallet Recent Blocks:
In my opinion too less transactions.


Any ideas what we can promote (together) to get the "Needs" for BURSTs and so the value back up.

fyi:  OP got updated

and we have so many things, changes and ideas in the pipeline but not enough manpower (and no girlpower at all) to develop Burst faster.

I ask everybody with coding skills, management skills, motivation or venture capital to join the journey!

For example open a thread like this 'Durr' today:
https://burstforum.com/index.php?threads/burst-banner-advertising-campaign.852/

or discuss with us in our Burst Slack -> PM with your email address to me.

BURST mining with 80+ TB at my house, and I honestly notice basically no difference in my power bill over just leaving my computers on and not mining. So I would almost say that mining is free. To me, it basically is.

It will catch on, and it is.


Also @ Elmit - development is still VERY active. We have already seen a release of the GPU miner recently, and there is other development going on that will be released shortly upon BURST's bday, that will give more ease of use to the every day computer user.

burstdev himself is active in the core slack, so no, no one has abandoned BURST by any means, and please, stop with your nonsense.

Just because none of us has the ability to work solely for BURST (even though we would love to, it currently just isn't feasible) doesn't mean that nothing is going on.


People can help by donating to the BURSTPromoDevFund AT that I've setup either through the AT section of the wallet, or by sending BURST to BURST-CXF4-GBPX-R6BV-G4P8K

When we get enough money there (and the main reason we don't have it yet, is because it was stolen...) we will hire professional PR company to promote BURST as well.

BUT, you know, you can also do some promotion on your own, no one is stopping you. But then again, how many people will actually listen to you? So would you really do anything good for the coin or not?


Anyway, don't start again with this 'burst is dead' nonsense. It just isn't true, and you're simply being annoying for the sake of being annoying.

no one is stopping you from doing anything to help the coin, aside from the fact that no one likes you and no one trusts you. Which you've brought upon yourself.

A hard drive on its own uses about 5-10w, but you do need it plugged into a machine which will also use some power.

ARE the developers are still with us? or have they already left since BURST price does not perform as expected?

Last update was BEFORE block 92000
Now we have block 126245 !!!
That is almost a THIRD of the coins existence without any update!

In case the developer lost track:
Please:
1. add at and lottery pages
2. update wallet
3. update nxt.wellKnownPeers
4. Look at your cheat sheet ("NXT") what to update.
5. publish the white paper (finally)

Maybe we should ask other developers to jump in here. How about bin/laden?
The WINDOWS wallet is already - even as a clone - advanced to the original.
(Who know me, will know what I am thinking of Windows)

Burst lakes of two MAJOR things:
1. management of BURST development
2. management of BURST promotion aka PR team

there may be usb3 plugs to plot asic based at some point and these devices can then also be used to parse the plots for mining.
this combined with intel's new 3d ssd tech enabling 10tb drives can drive down the power consumption further.
if you put all this on a pcb paired with a soc we may see less than 1 watt each terrabyte. then you can run a petabyte miner with 1 kilowatt instead of 7 watts per tb with current hardware.
but still today poc offers the most energy effective mining beside timekoin which seems almost to be dead.

Based on stats released by mczarnek, PoC is 30x more effecient than PoW. However, PoW mining has had 6 years to become more efficient....so i'm sure that number will increase as time goes on Already we are seeing developments of the gpu miner(reads hdd plots with gpu instead of cpu, it's still 100% HDD mining), which can definitely decrease the cost of mining.

Yes!  POC mining is significantly lighter on the electricity bill.  After the upfront cost of plotting to your hard drive, the only work that needs to be done is when a new block starts.  This will cause the disk to start spinning and cpu to do a little work to read the disk.  After the disk is read, cpu and disk both idle.  I don't know exact wattage use, but POC mining is quite a bit more efficient than asic/gpu/cpu mining.

lately i was looking into the http://127.0.0.1:8125/test?requestTag=TRANSACTIONS api calls.
a interesting one for my approach to add chat features to burst is to be able to list unconfirmed transactions.

i am not deep enough into the burst protocol itself but if someone who is thinks it may be worth to look into this concept further please let me know.

the idea is to broadcast a "valid" transaction of "any" type and the chat client would catch the content from the api json return value for the unconfirmed tx.
there wont be a way to verify that a message received the recipient and in fast chats some messages may get delivered with delays but i think it may be worth looking into this further.
i am not sure what the minimum accepted tx fee is.
beside spamming the blockchain with many "useless" transactions it may be helpful to have some sort of non permanent stored tx types in the protocol.
some kind of low fee tx type which gets only stored for 1-2 days or on bufffer basis.
the chat client i think of would interact by api calls with the wallet and may later get integrated into the wallet itself.
one of the biggest pitfalls i currently can think of is that each block can only carry 255 transactions. if there are many chats active this is much too low.

depending on the amount of people willing to pay for decentralized secure encrypted chatting this may make people buy burst to securely exchange information online.

Surely this has been answered before and I apologize but I can't scroll through 1100 pages of this ANN. Compared to mining with asic or gpu how much electricity will a 1tb hard drive use? Is HDD mining energy efficient and cheaper on the electric bill?

Why don't you post it here so people can help out, or, even better to keep it a secret, contact the dev team through the PR people?
