Thank you for the info.

Welcome!

Another question: Now I get the message:

Quote
Warning!: Your account does not have a public key! This means it's not as protected as other accounts. You must make an outgoing transaction to fix this issue.

So I transferred some BURST back to a generous donor (thanks!  Cheesy ), but still no trace or question of a public key... where is it, when will it appear?

Stop - now it's there after some time and a restart...

And my hacked account is coming back to bite me in the ass. I now have negative trust on this one because I confronted one of the people responsible about it. I have been talking with some of you since I've been here and I may need you guys to verify that this is me (bensam123).

[miner]

new version Burst-miner v1.150314
https://www.dropbox.com/s/luq6te1j8dn61p2/miner-burst-1.150314.zip?dl=0

* Tiny changes in algo for faster interrupt the threads (tnx haitch)
* MaxThreads (Paths) increased to 48

Not sure the multithreading is working properly. It does indeed show more threads running, but it does not spread the mine of one drive across multiple processors.

So if I'm mining one hard drive, when a block happens, it'll still just max out one logical processor, even if the drive can read faster.


Something else I've noticed guys. When fast blocks happen, they're won almost always with a sub 100 deadline, which doesn't make sense considering people usually don't have time to scan all their plots. Maybe it's just coincidence? I've only been watching since Blago added the winner stamp to the miner.

Also interesting, in this specific example, the same person won the block before with the same EXACT deadline. This should be extraordinarily rare to the point where it doesn't happen unless fast blocks are special?

"Insufficient privileges to execute the memory list command"
Run as Administrator

Running as administrator, network mounts all show as "0b". No idea why.
Edit: because the mounts were made by the user. If I want the miner running as administrator to access the mounts, the administrator has to mount them.

My user has system-wide Administrator privileges. It should be enough.
Starting to run binaries on a Windows system and doing many actions and mounts as Administrator "just because" is a really bad security model.

You need to be administrator to clear the memory. If you don't want to clear memory, get the latest version of the miner https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10770853 and add ""UseCleanMem" : false, "

If you create a batch file to mount your shares and run the miner, then run that batch file as administrator, only the miner binary has administrator access.

Blago

Can you build the miner so if it crashes, it just dies completely? No debug assertions, no prompts, just dead and let the batch file restart it ?

Thanks

Are there any multipools  for GPUs or ASICs that payout in BURST? I'd love to jump on one of those

Burst had two multipools:

(closed) BurstMultipool.com - many algorithms
(closed) BurstMP.com - scrypt only

They closed month ago, think they had just a few miners ...
Maybe its time to bring them up again, for a second try :-)

I read that we plot a large file and only read 1/4096 of it for mining.
Will the 4095/4096 part never read again, or only occasional?
Wouldn't it make sense to copy this 1/4096 to a fast SSD hard disk for mining and continue/replot the real hard disk?

No. On any given round you'll read 1/4096 of the nonces. On the subsequent round you'll read a different 1/4096 of the nonces. Over time all the nonces will be used repeatedly - so you can't move the "1/4096" to a faster location.

There are unlimited passwords leading to same Burst address.
Once you make a outgoing transaction, the current used password will be bound to address.
After that, no other password will work for that Burst address.
You will get a message like: 'Address already choosen.'

Thanks, that makes sense!

Thanks to a the very generous and anonymous donation of 0.44BTC by our 8th donor, haitch, we are now very close to our goal of $429 Smiley To be on the safe side, it would be nice with a few 0.01-0.03 donations though.

Thanks!

Come on now! The PR Team needs BTC change, which everyone has. Don't you want the best for BURST...?

There are a huge amount of people here, still we only got six donations and are no where near to be able to use http://bitcoinprbuzz.com/services/ for the next press release.

Please, don't free ride, we are building this coin together: donate some satoshis now. Do simply not care...?



How do a news spread? Well, if you Apple it's easy - you just announce a press conference and 800 reporters show up. For smaller businesses it's much harder, where you basically have to identify the agent whom can spread the news you have and hope for them to pick it up and the customers.

For the first press releases, Burst chose the latter with quite good results. However, doing it manually is terribly time-consuming and wont cover the whole relevant area.


There is a third alternative:

Companies specializing in distributing and getting PR published. We have used one such service with amazing results. We're featured at both Yahoo finance, Bloomberg and a number of key media sites for crypto. They were way better than us.

Of course these companies charge for their services, either in dollars or in established crypto currencies. The price for Bitcoin PR Buzz' service that we used last time is $429, but they also have a premium service for $779.

We could do this as a standard CF case but that would require that we dump the Bursts for BTC. So another way to do this is do it as a standard BTC donation case; we provide a BTC address to collect the money from the.

Here is the site: http://bitcoinprbuzz.com/services/

I promise to provide $50/0.2 in BTC to get things started. If you want an escrow or someone else in charge of the fund, we'll be happy to go with that.

For now the address is: 1AxtsE2ciNmY8Y9Rt9UBude6i1iW176oQB


What do you think? Can we count for you support...? If we could do this in a week or so it would be great, as we then would have the means to act when dev news hit us. If you donate, PM me the tx, nick and sum (we are planning a Hall of Contributers/Fame for community members supporting development!)


***EDIT: 0,227BTC ($65) donated by mmmaybe. https://blockchain.info/sv/tx/fa9f80a46e328e20e8653d7f21da83cadc0e29bf6c331dbb6a6b2706cbf0b074

https://blockchain.info/sv/address/1AxtsE2ciNmY8Y9Rt9UBude6i1iW176oQB

Just sent you 0.198 BTC for PR https://blockchain.info/tx/6882b7b20ac4896c01e53796d32ca0c9c218f95de020cd2c4ce34eb8017a7cee

I´m very exited about the upcomming update for burst and the new features....


Thank you, boba! I confirm your btc has arrived. Cheesy

Who is the third contributer besides me and boba...? Total amount is now 0,679 BTC/$200 with the anonymous donor, about half of what we need.


Should we interpret this as several thousand holders do not think spreading a press release is important...?



Please, everyone have btc change - donate them Wink They WILL make a difference!

Just PM me the tx, sum and nick. 0.02 is perfectly fine if 30 ppl does it, it's just important that you show that you support BURST and Team can spend our money on other BURST related thing Smiley
