Hello,
After some struggling, I *think* i'm finally mining.
However, after running the miner for 24h with a 800 gb plot (i'll create more once I know its actually working) I have yet to see any payouts from the burst.ga pool.
Is this normal? Is there any way I can ensure I'm actually mining and that everything is properly working?
My miner window gets these messages every now and then too (connect function failed with error: 10060).

Anyone know how often the block reward decreases in terms of blocks? (As opposed to once per month)
Didn't dev wright that early on? I'll check
Thanks burstcoin and mmmaybe who've both told me that it's Block #10800 for anyone else who is curious.

If you have problems with RAM performance use Runaurufu Burst Miner, change pool and directories in configuration.xml to fit your needs - tool has been checked by forum members and is clean - using it myself long time already.

I never understood why NXT went with 64 bit addresses. They're still long enough that you have to copy and paste them, but they're significantly less secure than bitcoin's 160 bit addresses. This is an unfortunately part of NXT that Burst has inherited.
If it were up to me, I would transition Burst addresses to standard 160 bit scheme used by most other crypto-currencies. I'd also change the account system to discourage address re-use rather than encouraging it. This is better for user privacy, and more resilient against the advent of quantum computers.

I would use a longer wallet address, agreed.
But I love Nxt's RS wallet address. It's a great idea to somewhat protect users against copy and paste mistakes and that kind of thing. Which their wallet address does.

For f*cks sake, answer the damn questions you have gotten several times!
1) Which members have checked it?
2) Were is the source?
and 3) Why the hell do you want us to use that miner...?
Why are you talking like that? Use the search option for gods sake, meanwhile I quoted the comment from wmikrut 2(!) times already! It was posted on Burstforum initially, so please get over there and search. Feel free to use any miner you want, but this is the only one that does not cause RAM problems for me. YOU sir may also disregard my posts at ANY time!

I think that is not a good idea, because if they public key are not registred in the network, those accounts are really unsafe, and we make a donation to the thiefs that looks for that kind of accoutns.
Can somebody explain why are accounts with no public key unsafe? Its because possible password collision?
Yes, there are infinite passwords that lead to same BURST address ... (thats not really a collision) ... to bind the address to your password a incomming transaction with your public key is needed, after that only your password will work, all others will cause a exception ... that the address is already taken.
PS: you can make a incomming transaction without public key, will work, but wallet will be accessible with all passwords that lead to this address, until you make a outgoing transaction.
so the address protocol is different from btc?
i cant send my money to offline generated wallet, or u are saying its unsafe?
( i hate nxt a dont even care to find out how it works, and quite lost my interest on this one as well.)

That makes sense.. could that explain the people who had their accounts hacked a little while back? Seemed like a few people did.
Hacker simply brute forces passwords attempting to find unregistered public keys?

I guess only accounts with weak passwords got hacked. Public keys are 64 bit wide - that's not safe but still too much for the average attacker.
Could be.. wallet somewhat forces you to pick a strong password, so I don't see many people choosing their own password.. but could be.
And all it takes is one above average attacker!

I would really like to put my few coins on a paper wallet. Is there a service?
You could just print your passphrase to paper. Maybe as QR-code.
Yeah, but might be a thing we could make a bit good locking and user-friendly, like bitcoinpaperwallet.com? Which coins offer paper wallets, btw?
I, of course, only use brain wallets. Every day is exiting wheather you lost your coins or not

When I run Blago's miner I get this error:
"The program can't start because MSVCR100.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling to fix this problem."
There is a file in the blago folder called msvcr100d.dll though.
Any help is much appreciated, I haven't used blago's miner before.

install visual studio 2010 runtime. x86 and x64
Thanks for the input, I am making some headway.
However, now I am getting a windows error after the miner starts:
"miner.exe has stopped working"
>Check online for a solution and close the program
>Close the program
>Debug the program
Anyone have any advice on this?
I think I found the issue, someone else had the same issue on BurstForum. My passphrase contains special characters, which are translated to text with % symbols abound when submitting.
Is there a way to prevent the miner from converting the special characters and read them as they are? I REALLY do not feel like re-plotting all these drives.
EDIT: Is it possible to simply change the numerical address at the beginning of a plot file to use it with a new address?
