Anyone having issues with mining right now? I'm not finding many blocks at the moment compared to pre-Friday.
yes, bad luck usually is 24 hr/s but 48 hr/s not sure what is gong on, BURST rate of production visibly dropped even at when cycle oscillates back down from peak to let say 7 or 8 Peta...
also "low cost or none" disk warehouse is driving price down.. big 200K lots two of them are waiting to be unloaded at 175 and 178, since BTC is up, someone calculates this well, if access to cheap drives (or no price at all, could be that someone chips away from a data center undetected till a system admin finds out and shuts it down... he drives conversion and makes steady cash every week
all rest of us, can wait for block reward reduction as well as keeping drives on to keep global network capacity high which is happening so that sustains this crypto nicely and I would not worry much about, I see work being done on crowdfunding and assets all great
when you see network capacity go down to between 6 and 8 P you know that someone had his plug pulled off at a data center
Burst is highsetup low power. There is never any reason to "turn off" your hard drives
.true, hence possibility of "laying low" except of occasional network calls which could give someone up, plotted disk also does not trigger any virus software alarms, and as you said low power dos not raise alarm of power consumption software which many data centers have, this could be a corporate or University data center, forgot also that CPU usage is also minimal, so all of it can be "hidden" so to speak
If it's possible to rent cloud storage then it would depend entirely on the market price.
CPU usage for Burst is definitely not minimal.
mine it is, CPU and system load barely get noticed.. using burstminer C++ on Unix , while at the same performing other unrelated mining operations, stager size is optimized as well
have multiple AMD cores.. when there is new block operation, one CPU core slightly goes up , it is as if no BURST ops is running on the machine.. of course this adds to value of BURST as said for global mining operations where electricity is expensive.. wish magnetic drive prices could drop so more people can mine this more aggressively .. but BURST block reduction will take care of some of the "problems" I think we seeing at the moment
actually seeing coin being very popular in Eastern Europe and they "suffer" from high electricity costs, so it all makes sense
as part of this post recommendation in general is use AMD processors they are not best for coins that are CPU at first (such as was primecoin and I paid a price by not being able to mine as many as I would with Intel.. but with BURST no such a fancy is needed)
