hello everyboby

I just put online french version of burstcoin site

www.burstcoin.fr

I will translate more stuff in the next days.

my api can be used from www.burstcoin.fr/api (visit to see usage)
but, for now I didn't have time to do big things.

Nice work ! Du bon boulot !

BURST got Smart Contracts (AT)
Guys keep in mind, regardless of the length of your passphrase, bruteforcing will eventually find accounts. I'm actually surprised this hasn't become more prevalent. Since each wallet is ONLY a passphrase and not a username and passphrase to authenticate against, and there is not a lockout on accounts for how fast you can check a passphrase (unless the blockchain does it). All someone needs to do is bruteforce continually till it happens upon a account. Since everyone is essentially using one username which is identical for all of us and it's impossibly hard to change it once you have one (replotting).

Luckily mine is huge, but with time it will also be broken by a brute force. I'm not certain of the speed at which you could check passwords, but I assume with scripts and modern GPUs you could do some serious bruteforcing on Burst.


"mine is huge" [passphrase] .... that sounds like you get a longer BURST address when you have a longer passphrase.

When you create a new wallet, it will tell you that it is new. So, do watch for that message, ... or otherwise you could clean out that found account, ...

Short, each passphrase gives you one and only one BURST address, but one BURST address can be created with multiple passphrases.

If you create a new passphrase a new BURST address, you could then add one character to see how the BURST address would have changed. Maybe you are lucky, or maybe you find a pattern to predict the next one.

1 =>  BURST-X5JH-TJKJ-DVGC-5T2V8
2 =>  BURST-LTR8-GMHB-YG56-4NWSE
11 => BURST-FXHG-6KHM-23LE-42ACU
12 =>  BURST-DQXP-7DS6-9Q9S-74XRT

Your market cap is not working Sad

You can use
Code:
json_decode(file_get_contents("https://block.burstcoin.info/api/?request=price&c=usd")); echo $burstData->c->market_cap?>

and your price seems fine Cheesy but for simplicity you can use
Code:
echo $burstData->price?>

I think i'll make a bit of an api upgrade tomorrow....make a nice page to document it all
I was already using your api to get the marketcap.

I will check tonight, but that work perfectly from my personal serveur, but not from the one where the script is.
got nothing with Curl from your address. I don't understand as the 3 api of the exanges works perfectly. Maybe a mistake somewhere.

BURST got Smart Contracts (AT)
Market survey:

What do you think about a hardware wallet for Bursts, like https://www.buytrezor.com/ ?

If enough interest exists, we will develop it.

I think it's a great idea.. note that it does require rewriting the curve25519 library I believe.. I was going to implement it for Nxt and it seemed like a simple project but turned into a fairly big one.

Exactly! Before investing time, effort and money I wanted to make sure it is needed. Thanks for the reply.

BTW, my idea is to use a unique way of two SIM card like cards. The nano card with the instruction of the coin, and the normal size SIM for the wallet. Said that, it would be possible to change the SIMs to use the same hardware for NXT, BURST, ... or any other coin. It is an initial idea, I need to study if that is possible. I was inspired of a company who is using SIM cards for instructions at their electrical switches.

Needs to be a programmable sim....not way am i just "being given a passphrase" Cheesy

But yeah....sim's is kewl...but y 2? 1 is good, and it can contain info about the coin.


... said the knowledgeable !!!

I am confused on one thing with HDD mining. What is the disk space being used for? (what service is it providing and to who)?
Only for data generated by you, that is needed to mine burst.

Let me try again. I don't understand. If I mine Burst with my harddrive space, who is using my harddrive?

The whole community I think.

incorrect. "No one" is the right answer.


As of yet, the space dedicated to BURST mining, is solely for mining. it is not "made use of" in any other way.

However, down the line (it's in the roadmap) we will be adding filestorage to the coin. THEN you will be sharing your drive with others. At that point I will be able to explain to you how it works better.
