We had a discussion about which pool has the most miners and/or capacity, but the conclusion were more or less that it depends on how and what you counts.

If I reformulate it a bit: Which pool benefits larger miners (say +25TB) and which pool benefits the more recreational smaller miners?

This question should at least be possible to answer, as I read early in the thread that one of Uray's pools were tweaked to benefit larger capacity miner ("all most as solo mining").

Have our pool ops tweaked their code or a setup which benefit smaller or bigger miners?

Burst.ninja benefits neither. It pays out some based on current round share, and some based on historic round share. This has come from our miners and what they wanted, and so we believe our pool is the fairest pool out there! Try it yourself, and see Cheesy

It's also super fast ;P

NXT has many copycats

Which ones are those? I know NXT, HZ and BURST. What are the others? Thanks a lot!

Yep those, and NEM (XEM)
http://nem.io/

And tons of more crappyer low volume altcoins that were based on NXT which are 100% copycats.

Now obviously NEM and BURST are a lot more modified and with many more features, but still based on the NXT source code.

So Burst is a "copycat" after all...? I would be much more inclined to call it a "fork" which distances from NXT day-by-day. That's the impression I get from the existing four forks.

Not separating copycats from real innovative forks, can only have negative effect: "all those worthless copycats", and positive effect on NXT.

Words can be powerful.

Ok my wording sucks, but still BURST was inspired by NXT, no doubt about that.

In fact NXT has currency market feature while BURST has not, but BURST has escrow and smart contracts which NXT has not.

So it has different features. + The fact of HDD mining, now that is real innovation, so congrats BURST!

Yeah, that's the thing. Of course Burst and those other coins have a lot to thank NXT for, but the development now is not to copy NXT, the forks try to do different things than NXT.

Now NXT is a lot more powerful with more devs, so certain features developed today will end up in the forks.

I think it is a sound system. If you look at http://www.burstcoin.info, Burst pays tribute to NXT.

we should start to port the burst protocol to c and do some adjustments to the current limitations (eg. extend the 255tx in a block), add checkpoints and rethink the basetarget calculation.
also some features like storing binary information as service paid in burst for would be great (a few kb stored in the blockchain for a limited time).
even if this increases the blockchain size with a couple of gb it may be worth it.
if checkpoints are combined with filestorage we may at every diff adjustment either keep the binary blops if it is payed for again or exclude it from the checkpoint which makes the data die over time since they wont get synchronized to fresh wallets.
such possibilities are the basic requirements for decentralized forums and exchanges in hopefully near future.

I ran through all functions of BURST, but could not figure out how to get the value of SCOOP of the current block.

Can anybody enlighten me, please!

the wallet only supplies the gensig for the last mined block and only scoops for already mined blocks.
the scoop for the current block has to be calculated from the gensig and height.
the simplest way is to use the code the miner calculates the scoop with.

you need the previous gensig and height. then you apply this code to it (taken from the mdcct miner.c file https://github.com/Mirkic7/mdcct/blob/master/mine.c):

      // Get scoop:
      char scoopgen[40];
      memmove(scoopgen, signature, 32);

      char *mov = (char*)&height;

      scoopgen[32] = mov[7]; scoopgen[33] = mov[6]; scoopgen[34] = mov[5]; scoopgen[35] = mov[4]; scoopgen[36] = mov[3]; scoopgen[37] = mov[2]; scoopgen[38] = mov[1]; scoopgen[39] = mov[0];

      shabal_context x;
      shabal_init(&x, 256);
      shabal(&x, scoopgen, 40);
      char xcache[32];
      shabal_close(&x, 0, 0, xcache);

      scoop = (((unsigned char)xcache[31]) + 256 * (unsigned char)xcache[30]) % HASH_CAP;

depending on what you want to do with the actual scoop you may simply modify the miner to print the scoop number like this:
scoop: 3055 73037 MB read/292148 GB total/deadline 145651s (145645s left)

Another interesting read in relation to ethereum:

http://cointelegraph.com/news/114939/ethercoin-price-skyrockets-as-ethereum-confirms-launch

I bit from CCN's headline in January this year: "Cryptocurrency BURST Makes Smart Contracts a Reality, What Happened to Ethereum?"

In my opinion this would be the most important AND most likely the best part to promote BURST.
However, for now, AT is not for average Joe to setup. Not even a manual exists! Or a working cooking receipt, that you just could follow it and figure it out.

If you think that the Frontier release of Ethereum is going to be any different, you are so very wrong. I took a look at it and frankly it is even more of a mess than BURST is now.

However, they are also working on GUI tools and simplified approaches and so are CIYAM devs for AT. In both cases I think we are some way from 'user friendly' solutions.

If I buy a load of 3 Tb HDD and I split them between several rigs, will it be considered as all mine on the pool or will I need to create several account ? It's better if they are all conspired as mine, right ?

Take care that you do not use duplicate hard disks.

Sorry, but can anyone help me.

I can't change "Set reward recipient:".
I always get {"errorDescription":"Unknown account","errorCode":5}.

Thank you.

Which pool? You need to set it to a burst address, not a pool url. Burst address, like in my sig, (BURST-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXX).

I'm using ninja pool.
I tried to put my passphrase of my wallet in "Set reward recipient: Passphrase:"
"Recipient:" BURST-7CPJ-BW8N-U4XF-CWW3U

and I got that error message.

I've had similar problems in the past. Try this.

Run the Run.bat file in the burst folder.
Wait for the burst cmd client to fully load "Burst server 1.2.3 Started successfully"
Open http://localhost:8125/ in your browser
Enter your wallet passphrase
Important:- Wait for blockchain to download see bottom right of browser (takes ages!)
Open http://localhost:8125/rewardassignment.html
Enter your details

The same shit.

Maybe I need to activate accound. I heard I need at least 1 coin at my wallet to activate it.

you didnt even read the freaking manual!
