do not doub! go for burst yes or yes Wink

is just a question of time that more ppl notice what you already did, burst is the BEST alt coin ATM.

also did you notice that we will have soon the POC2? Roll Eyes

Thanks for the clarification! Going BURST all the way it is!

If you refresh the burstcoin.info page, it will show the values from the burstcoin.eu page real fast before it switches to the actual ones.

bchain.info was wrong here, fixed it.

I was actually more interested in why my machines mined backwards for a block before jumping two forward. The fast oscillations just happen to coincide with it. The oscillations I don't believe have ever been this fast, they usually go up for awhile, then down for awhile, not jump back and forth really fast.

I had kind of equivalent issues while running multiple wallets within my home-network, maybe thats the reason.
Or fast blocks passing while the threads of current block are still running ... the miner may 'skip' these blocks.

Erm... It didn't just skip a block, it went backwards after a block (to a block it already mined), then jumped forwards.

Weird, I just saw block 75887 mine, 75888, 75889, 75888 (fast block), 75890...

It's too bad you guys can't look back on your miners due to it happening quite a few blocks ago. If someone could confirm this happened to them as well it'd make things quite a bit different. Could've also been a fork or micro-fork in the network.

micro-fork is most likely it.

When 2 people announce a block of the same height at roughly the same time, your client will go with whichever it sees first, since they both have the same cumulative difficulty, so neither takes priority over the other. When someone mines a block on one of those, that chain will then have a higher cumulative difficulty, so if your client is on the other chain it will delete off it's last block, then add on the other one and the new one.

I'm trying to find the pool that works best for me with around 16TB on an i5 ubuntu machine with 8gb ram.
I started with cryptomining farm, which seemed to work fine but I'm in southern california, the farm is in asia and occaisionaly I miss out on a few good deadlines by being too slow. I'm thinking I'll get my nonces delivered more quickly to pool closer to me. I know there is an east coast pool in the US and a few in Europe, does anyone know of a good pool on the west coast of the US ?

thanx in advance,
Cool

propagation delay is the least of your worries. optimize your plots instead to speed up read times.

my plots are optimized, thanks for the thought. I welcome any other suggestions........I'm using Uray's miner.

try blago's so that each drive can be read simultaneously in a multithreaded manner
-edit
play with "CacheSize" : 400000, setting in blago's miner. (increase)

Could this be some dummkopf trying to attack the coin? Someone with a pretty good knowledge trying to break it somehow?

The network is also oscillating between 15PB-23PB every 20 blocks or so.
...

Maybe someone uses own plotting and mining software to mine only a subset of scoops ... for technical(effiency) reasons on a not finished multi machine setup ;-)
Maybe a Data-Center mines more/less drives depending on CPU usage of Servers.
Maybe ...

but thats nothing new: https://bchain.info/BURST/graph/large

The algo requires that u plot all the scoops to verify them...otherwise the nonce is invalid, and that single scoop ur plotting to match the block is invalid. That's why gpu miner got 30gb equivalent ages ago.

Yes, thats right, has to be like that ... should have thought about it twice :-)
Would be interesting anyway what leads to this peeks ...

Maybe there are a lot of miners in a specific Timezone that turn off the PC while sleeping or mine at work?!
Maybe there are big mining farms with technical issues (i like this the most^^)

Pricing including shipping:
Custom plotted drives WITH necessary cables, adapters, etc. for USB use : $32/TB
Wiped/blank drives WITH necessary cables, adapters, etc. for USB use: $27/TB

BULK PRICING including shipping:
ALL drives, custom plotted, all cables, adapters, etc. : $30/TB
ALL drives, wiped/blank, all cables, adapters, etc. : $25/TB

Payment is preferred in BTC, BURST also an option. Will consider other payment methods.

BURST, the unique POC coin, uses the HD for getting coins but, for sure, if the price raise there will appear ASIC and we sill stock docens of HD that could be used for other things.

i dont think that asics will come up in the next years. If the come up, your miners could easy be switched to a maidsafe oder a strojx miner.....so no problem at all.

Not so far.....

A i7 can get 20MHash/s and a Antminer S4 gives 2 THash/s. So there is a factor 100,000.

In BURST ploting a i7 calculate 20,000 nonces/minute (about 5 Gb/min), if you apply the same factor, the hipotetical BURST ASIC will calculate 0,5 PB/min, an equivlalent in the 4 minutes block time to a 2Pb (15% of actual size).

The cost of the Antminer S4 is 1500$ and consumes 1500W, the cost of 666 3Tb HD (100$ each) is 66,000$ and consumes (8W each) 5300W (and you would need docens of computers).

So, if the price raise and BURST got popularity, ASIC will come, but don´t worry, Bobafett, for then we will drive our own Ferrari without crowdfund the FerrariSharing.

This is a large part of the reason I'm pushing for POC2.

With POC2 we can shorten block times (probably 30 seconds?), which improves the efficiency of HHD vs ASICs since ASICs have a shorter period of time to do the same amount of work.

Plus keep in mind that you plot once then you just pull numbers off the drive.. point being it isn't the i7 doing the having. And keep in mind that most people will use GPUs to plot their drives.

Also not understanding, how did you get Ant miner =666 *3 TB worth of drives?

5gb/min is plotting, which is all 4096 scoops. If you are mining with an asic like that, you have to ditch 4095/4096 of those calculations because they aren't valid. You can't only plot 1 scoop at a time, you need all 4096 to sign with ur burst address.Therefore, the asic just became 4096 times less efficient Cheesy

If I didn't know better the scenario like mentioned above may already be happening on the network. PoC2 development definitely needs to be hurried up.
