The PoC verification hashes your account id and nonce from the block and uses that when calculating/checking your deadline. If someone tried to swap out the account id it'd result in a completely different hash and therefore a completely different deadline. Only the account id in the block's reward recipient can receive the block reward.

Coins definitely make you paranoid the more you get fucked by them. I was under the impression in the mining phase the miner finds a specific hash with your account number that it's looking for and then sends it to the wallet, but after it finds it you've pretty much 'solved' things and the answer is submitted to the wallet.

I think several folks posting here are not quite well versed in how math, blockchains, crypto, mining etc... all work in relationship to one another.

we have folks who don't understand  what variance is ("luck" in laymens terms) and freak out and start saying things that border on slander and unfounded accusations.  albeit, I can concede that lack of knowledge (aka ignorance) easily explains their behavior.

Week of stats... 360 blocks per day, 2520 per week. 2500 points of data is not by any means a small pool. If things balanced out I should've been hitting ~two blocks per day (this is with 17PB). Law of large numbers (randomness does not make things inherently completely random). Lack of knowledge when it comes to stats is also considered ignorance.

You're not the only one that can fling poo bro and there is plenty of evidence in the BTC forums of backstabbing, scamming, and stealing, including creative ways of doing it that people didn't think could be done in the first place (There are plenty of miners that had hidden 'fees'). That is by no means in short supply. Paranoia in this case is much more helpful then a lack of it as more people can pool their points of data and it can be discussed further. That's the whole reason I brought it to light here. Even if it seems like it's not feasible, if other people have also experienced a similar drop in income after submitting logs to Blago it should be looked at thoroughly. Ignorance would be ignoring such a trend because he's 'reputable', whatever that means in the BTC forums. Because he makes a miner people use and depend on he should receive even more scrutiny as you're essentially giving him access to all your sensitive bits of information.

I found two blocks so far already today just to add more anecdotal evidence after switching to a pool.

wow, I restarted my 2 wallets (I have two miners running) two hours ago, and noticed that they are on different chains during the last 15 minutes;
how can that happen ?

I restarted because I had just 1 block during the last 24 hours, and suspected bad peers.

[edit]
just a few minutes later they are in sync again, the block 69189 is the only one displayed differently now, but this may be just a glitch - when I look up the block information the details are the same.

Wallet 2 has 5 of 20 connections with outdated peers, even a v1.1.0. Ouch.

How do I get the debugger to run the ATs?  The "Add AT" button seems to work, and I've dragged the assembly from the two examples into the resulting windows.  The "Run" etc. buttons are grayed out, and stay that way no matter what I've tried so far.  Advance block seems to have no effect, and anything I put in the "Balance" field gets zeroed out when I advance or undo the blockchain.  The "Send Tx" dialogs don't seem to do anything.  No errors are reported in the terminal I launch the debugger from, but there are some "Vector" messages, which I assume result from the assembly of the machine code.

Running on ubuntu trusty, with jdk1.8.0_25

Actually, I sent also log to Blago at the very beginning of burst mining.
And I am not ok with "luck" I have mining burst.

Considering to re-plot also my hdds also I considered to use different addr for each server.
You just made me paranoid more than usually I am.

And I am have bad "luck".  Grin

I must replot all my plots?

Ohoh~~ didn't ever know Blago has own pool in russian, why not listed in OP  Grin

He has hardly been hiding that pool.

Ha~~ Too bad then, Blago should not post the 21.5TB address, there is a trace to your pool's BURST ID..... from GOOGLE  Grin

Considering matter in that way, I have hundreds of GPU, can plot more than 1000Tb/day.

what would the I/O throughput need to be on your hardware to write 1 Pb in 24 hrs?  let's see if you can answer this.
a bit more than 12gb/s, so 12 10gbit ethernet links or since 2001 available infiniband infastructure may handle this easy.
the question is more why someone would like to plot such fast if a decentralized slower design is cheaper.
you may setup a four card gpu rig and add a single channel 10gbit network card attached to a glusterfs provided by many cheap nodes.
four cards should yield at least 120k nonces/minute which is about 500 mb/s output.
the plots themselve can be simply concatenated if you plot them correctly.
a modified optimizer may do this for you and read from as many nodes as you want to simultanously.
a good point to start with is 10 nodes connected through gbit and 10gbit uplink to the plot machine.
12-16 hdds can be attached quite cheap to the storage nodes. so the effective plotrate including the optimize process would be about 250 mb/s.
120 5 tb hdds would be plotted within less than 30 days. the plotting machine would then be used to plot fresh gfs nodes or beeing used for something else like playing games.
if you plot on the fly with 1pb throughput in 24h you may mine within blocktime with 3tb  Cheesy

BURST’s Stunning Progress: Crowdfunding as a Turing-complete Smart Contract



The PR, now being sent to several hundred crypto sites and enthusiast, is found here http://burstcoin.info/pr/cf/



Please, also check out the most impressive starting guide ever written. Title: Getting Started Guide. Author: Merick for BURST. Link: http://burstcoin.info/d/pdf/wallet_v1.2.pdf. .

Nice guide but where is the installation starting guide ? Where you must install java, modify path, start the wallet and then , finally, start your Web browser to open the wallet ?

It's where people give up.

Good comment, didn't think about that - I got a feeling that merick will publish a new version, as he is very active Smiley

I'll add it soon.  I was seeing a lot of questions and frustration about initializing the wallet when I started this.  I was hoping that a generic bat file would be released to get rid of the path modifications.  Once that happens the process will be down to a two line readme.txt.  1.) Click run.bat 2.) Click the Wallet shortcut.

Either way, I will add starter page for fixing the bat file until the universal one makes it into the wild.

This should work as a generic bat for Windows 7+. Not sure about XP though. And it makes it a 1 line readme - click run.bat

Code:
@echo off
echo Checking Path only
for %%f in (java.exe) do if exist %%~$path:f  (
  echo Java found at: %%~$path:f
  start "BURST" %%~$path:f -cp burst.jar;lib\*;conf nxt.Nxt
  goto startbrowser
  ) else (
  echo Not found in Path, Searching full C drive
  for /F "tokens=*" %%f in ('where /F /R C:\ java.exe') do (
    echo Java found at: %%f
    start "BURST" %%f -cp burst.jar;lib\*;conf nxt.Nxt
    goto startbrowser
    )
  )
echo No Java Found on this Computer
goto done
:startbrowser
    timeout /T 30
    start http://localhost:8125
:done

I think 250 i7 4770 are enough

4tb/day with latest cpu plotter...

This actually is not a tricky at all.
2 hdd of 4 Tb on single machine and 3 x 280x cards are capable of doing job in 12-14 hrs depending on hdd speed.
I have 80+ machines, so lets say, it is 2 x 2 x 4Tb in a day on single machine = 80 x 2 x 2 x 4Tb = 1280Tb/day

I am a burst lover, and in burst from almost beginning of the story, last thing I need is FUD and troll here, I am not doing that.
Just cant get what is your point with these "are you acting a wise guy" thing.

Burst is a good story and devs are still doing great job. So far, no need for big changes.
And as a believer, I got a quiet descent amount of bursts on poloniex at these silly low prices.
