Topic: [ANN][BURST] Burst | Efficient HDD Mining | New 1.2.3 Fork block 92000 - page 404. (Read 2171065 times)

I have just gone through the process of setting up a wallet for the first time, wow what an awful experience...

This should be your focus not a lottery, it took me over 40mins to download the blockchain to the 5th january and then the rest of the night to do the rest. The JAVA runtime that opens CMD seems to be bringing my netbook to its knees too.

You may ask why am i using a netbook, but the average user hasn't got the latest gaming PC like all the nerds who mine these coins. I only went through the process of setting up a wallet so i could store my coins, but i wish i hadn't i think i'll just leave them on an exchange and wait for them to hit 1 sat, cos this coin needs a LOT of work to be usable to even the most computer literate of us.

i am top 11 atm. so i´m already in the t25. and selling oder give my burst to anybody else that sells them is not an option, because this coins will be sold and dump the price.
i think with my new investments i bring the price up and the volume down, what ends in a higher price and make the coin more intresting for others.
But this is one of my gloals, others can coexist.

From what other projects do you actually speak? I see no other relevant crowedprojekts....

I'm sorry if I misunderstands this but:

Would it not be better for BURST that, say,you stayed top25 instead of top10, and instead supported the projects we so well need with the funds you have and will continue to get?

There is something called redundancy, you have to use it, because not everybody is permanently online, like some hardcore users. Files that are too many times not retrieveable get deleted and the hoster won't get any further payments for it. There are solutions for your problems you are just not looking hard enough. Bandwith is not a problem either, users shold be able to set the amount of bandwith used. People that want to earn money with storing data might want to get higher bandwith from their internet provider. In the end ISPs are pushed to upgrade infrastructure and bandwith. I am not going to dictate you what you should do first, but if you don't set your priorities correctly you will fall behind. And as i see it nobody is looking at what other coins do, ignoring others and their progress is imo pretty bad.

Is there anyway to check what the rewardassignment is currently set to or if blocks have been going to a different address?

The first option on the RewardAssignment Page is

Get Reward Recipient:

1.)Put an address in that field, press submit, and it will tell you who the recipient is in numeric form - copy this value.
2.) http://127.0.0.1:8125/burst?requestType=rsConvert&account=NUMERIC ACCOUNT ID : paste the value from step one were NUMBER ACCOUNT ID is.

Good-Luck

ah ok, i took his time and now everything shows fine.

Just deployed my first crowdfund project.

if i load now the atcrowdfund.html,
i got the following problems: What means this NaN

for the amount i choosed 150000
and time 2 weeks....

LOL

Being honest anyways heh heh.

The biggest problem with cloud storage is proving that the data is actually retrievable, and not just being stored by someone who wants to collect fees for storing it but has no intention of uploading it back, and this tends to stem from bandwidth. I've talked to a lot of people while running this, and most people tend to value their bandwidth much more than their hdd space. There are many people willing to store 10s of TBs, but are worried about using 10s of GBs of bandwidth. This makes the situation of having the data actually stored but unretrievable very realistic. The only way I can see to resolve that is to have the network randomly assign 3rd partys to relay the data between downloaders and storers, to have some way of auditing what actually happens on attempted transfers. This would be far more complicated to construct than all other parts of cloud storage combined, and would further increase bandwidth usage significantly. So for now ATs are being prioritized, as we actually have good solutions for what we need to do.

As for 'mining useless files', that will continue to exist regardless of what happens with storage. User data cannot be used to secure the network. If user data was allowed to be used for blockchain security, attackers could 'store' their own highly compressible or deterministically generated data to achieve much higher hashrate per actual storage space than honest users could.

End consumers which would be the ones offering storage are not ISPs or major players in the internet market. They take what they can get. The people you'd be forcing to upgrade are end users and they only have whatever their ISPs offer.

At first it will be slow for sure, but i expect it to evolve like the internet did, more speed more bandwith more storage. But someone needs to start somewhere! If it's so slow at first i don't mind using it as archive, if it's secure that is. Pictures, videos and porn all forced the internet providers toupgrade their network, because the people demanded faster speeds. The internet is growing don't forget that.

Yeah, I don't think people have any idea what 'cloud storage' entails. Cloud storage as done by big companies right now is they have five data centers across the world or maybe even nine if they're big enough and send data between them on Tier 1 lines (if that). Data inside the datacenters is shared across 100GB or 1TB fiber lines between servers.

There is no way you can do a truly decentralized storage on a 'neighborhood' scale. The bandwidth requirements for the average user to take part in it would be ginormous (putting aside bandwidth caps). Accessing files would take 10-60 seconds, assuming it's split up rather then all in one place. The coin would then be more about bandwidth rather then about storage capacity or a equal relationship across both (more storage capacity means you need more bandwidth to 'mine' it).

Even though Burst is all about capacity, it's not about bandwidth and that's a major component in any sort of cloud storage operation. It's just not meant to be for this coin unless they completely redo the coin (which they may). You could found a coin based on this though and it would be pretty easy to calculate payouts as it would be based on capacity + bandwidth and then you could make a weighted formula that takes into account both of them, then distribute a few copies across multiple piers and have a bittorrent type data sharing.

Time to access the file would still be ridiculous like I said, but it would be doable. Maybe something along the lines of archive storage. You could throw in encryption as well and make it anonymous storage. Split up the parts more so one 'host' never has a whole file and it's even more anonymous if not completely impossible to put it back together without the keys. There would have to be limitations on 'max' sizes per host as well. If one person has too much of the network capacity then it dilutes the redundancy aspect.

That is possibly something burst could do. Decentralized storage for 'sensitive' information with high encryption levels and complete anonymity. That's not really about capacity anymore though, but it fits Bursts MO.


I've been on 1.2.2 at day one, solo mining, I'll restart my wallet.

I'm pretty certain I removed all the secret entries from the log file, but if it was split up or in a different place where it's not together I would have missed parts of it. Is there anyway to check if something weird has been going on? I haven't seen rogue transactions. How do you check the current rewardrecepient?

I could just be getting unlucky too, but based on my mining last week I should be at least getting 1-2 blocks per day.

Are you solo mining or in a pool?
If you are solo mining, I would suggest to restart your wallet, your miner is using. Maybe it helps.
Also have you upgraded your wallet to 1.2.2?

If you are mining in a pool, then the pool should have upgraded to the wallet 1.2.2 already and you are not using your wallet anyway.


If your sect goes out, then you are screwed and you may want to re-plot your hard disks with a new BURST address!!!
For exactly that reason, I suggest to use for each manageable hard disk space a different BURST address! E.g., if you have 60 TB, then I would use at least 3 different BURST addresses for that disk space.
To my knowledge there is not difference in mining speed, nor earnings, since the average is still the same!

I supported this CF, but not with as much has deserves 

*Bump*For*Votes*

So I sent someone my log files, but removed my secret which I assume was only in one form and not split up, does anyone know if there is anyway for someone to mess around with your miner or wallet just having the logs?

This happened on Friday and since then my mining has went down to nothing (yesterday I found no blocks, compared to last week I was finding a few blocks per day). I thought maybe the block chain was having issues, but this coincides nicely with when I sent them my logs.

I really don't want to replot everything, but I will if needed. There haven't been any rogue transactions in my wallet. Is there anyway to check what the rewardassignment is currently set to or if blocks have been going to a different address? I checked the page, but it doesn't have any information besides blanks (it'd actually be nice if this had a real spot in the wallet instead of a URL).

Done!

The same goes for the Newletter on burstcoin.info

It's very important to get info if devs need to fork or similar

You are at the right place, ... just walk over to Kim ;-)

A GUI is discussed rather intensively with several members.

Mega may be more interested in storj....they have the bandwidth.
