Thanks guys.. anyway for those who see the current prices and are doubting.. just know that big things are happening in the background.  There are a couple really interesting projects that I'm only keeping quiet so that our competitors don't take them and run with them first for example.  And that paper will be broken into smaller, easier to digest pieces and used to try to lure in some new developers and marketers.. and eventually customers.

And if you are doubting and saying Burst is unfortunately a pump and dump coin.. do something about it!  Write up a post for our upcoming blog about why you see potential in Burst for example.  Or contact some exchanges asking to be listed.  Or call up a college and ask if they are interested in letting their students work for us (they will be trained! Some java experience is the only thing I'd expect) in exchange for college credit. Or work with us to see if we can get some venture capital funding for this coin.

For example, Hedgy just got $1.5 million to get smart contracts working... something we already have working!!  We could do a lot with a million dollars in funding.

Or come up with your own idea for helping this coin succeed!

So, I've actually decided to stop working on the paper and break up it into pieces and write it up as a blog post.

But the paper has come so far.. so if anyone is interested, you are welcome to read it:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/13jG3F7uajhSsyT9GXDX86izmlBMf567_PbyOhUr_HGw/edit?usp=sharing

Warning, it's pretty long and in depth.. but I think I've made some interesting discoveries in analyzing Proof of Capacity and shown that it has a lot of potential.

If anyone has comments, let me know as my blog posts are going to largely be similar information and arguments.

I've started writing blog posts based on it.. not sure when that'll be ready to go.  Plus, someone has to create the blog first.

Well done!

Not sure if you guys remember when I mentioned not finding many blocks while solo vs pool mining. There is still something weird about solo mining. I've been mining on pools and mining solo off and on. Whenever I go solo, the amount of blocks I find is about 50-60% of what I'm supposed to. I'm not talking about what the pool pays me, rather the amount of blocks I find while on the pool. This isn't just luck, I've been mining for quite some time and have quite a few data points built up.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but mining solo decreases the number of blocks I find quite a bit. I'm not sure why or how.

when you are soloing, you are running the wallet yourself.

i think, when you are pool mining, the wallet is running on the pool server.

the big difference here is if your clock is off 10 or 20 or 30 seconds.  That will loose you a lot of blocks.

check your computer clock to the second, if it is more than a few seconds off, install "NetTime" or a similar product, and have it update your clock often enough that you never get a time off more than a second or two.

both windows 7 and windows 10 have built in internet synchronization, but they sync too infrequently, and are pretty bad at handling congestion and servers that are down, to be of any use for keeping the time within needed bounds for burst mining.


Some pools favor certain total plot sizes. If you are mining at a pool that favors close to what total plot size you have, you might end up getting more burst than you would solo mining.


Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Obviously it's some sort of problem with the wallet. I've been using nettime for quite some time though, so it's not a time problem. It syncs every four hours.

I've also noticed when mining solo I get less 'Winner: no info yet' for the winner in the deadline compared to when I'm mining on the pool. There is some sort latency issue happening there that I'm not entirely sure where it's coming from and I think is what is messing up my blocks.

Switched back to a pool and immediately started finding blocks at regular intervals again. Really weird.

Try HGST or Toshiba. Seagate suck.

So if I understood correctly we mine BURST but we're paid in CELL ?


yes,
use current plot and config
change only recipient and pool url


one question koko,... and if we want to trade CELL on c-cex.com how do you do this ? How we can tranfer CELL from asset to exchange ?



now, please keep in wallet and get pos
burst asset will add to ccex soon


PLS can you explain how its going to work and when we will get paid. I got my rewards from other assets but this one is still very unclear to me and no payments.

my advise: buy a little bit, 1-2 maybe, set them up so that you can see how burst works etc... then with the rest of the money you would have spent on more drives, buy burst. right now, this is a better transaction.

So it's better to hold some BURSTs ?

Just happens that at the moment you can likely buy more burst than you'll ever be able to mine for the same price.

Seriously amazing time to buy Burst.

In my opinion.. short term, low prices are good, we need to attract more developers and entrepreneur types and let miners who are mining for short term profit go ahead and dump.. the more business and development minded people we get on board at these prices, the better long term.

I partially agree. Short term low prices are good, but as long as there is volume.  Haven't had any decent volume in ages. If people sell, but not make buy orders, it's not gonna happen. But I see the order book has increased slightly during this week

Please let the price fall down to 100 satoshi. At 100 satoshi i will place a 10 BTC buywall (and more BTC incoming if necessary).

today is the day. let's see how long we can buy BURST for under 100 satoshi Smiley

made .15 BTC profit on this dump heheh bought at 102 a few days ago. But seriously, everybody, put some buy orders, don't just withdraw the coins if you sell.

smaxer your deadbeat buddy. wheres your 10BTC wall. price is 100 now

Oh, and I was wrong, burstdev was a step ahead of me of course Smiley

The attack I was talking about doesn't completely work.. and I figured out a work around that defeats

Buy the cheapest price per TB, all the cheap ones on the market atm seems to work fine with burst.

If You are going large, you might want to buy slightly larger disks even though they are more expensive, because only so many disks can be connected to the run of the mill motherboard.

I found 4TB disks to be an okay compromise. Also bought two 8TB seagate archive disks, but use them for archiving, not burst, and the space then freed have been plotted and is mining now.

Use a price comparison service like pricerunner or the like, to find the cheapest per terabyte disk in your are. (most of then can sort by price per terabyte).
