Just curios...why does blaggo's miner need pasphrases.txt file for mining on v2 pool?  I remember having to move that file away from dev's miner when v2 pool was anounced.

pasphrases.txt file is not needed for mining at the pools. If you set mode: "pool" or "poolV2" and miner write "passphrases.txt not found" means miner not found configuration file (default mode: solo) or configuration file have error in line mode.


https://github.com/Blagodarenko/miner-burst/blob/master/miner.cpp
Code:
if(strcmp(document["Mode"].GetString(), "solo")==0) miner_mode = 0;
else
if(strcmp(document["Mode"].GetString(), "pool")==0) miner_mode = 1;
else
if (strcmp(document["Mode"].GetString(), "poolV2") == 0) miner_mode = 2;

........

if(miner_mode == 0) pass = GetPass(p_minerPath);

Off topic: This is so interesting/funny/promising: Burst is up 15-20% in the last 24h but not a post about it in the thread. It's like people really don't care about short term gains. People don't think "in one month", which is an eternity in alts, but here is "maybe in 2015".

I think this long term perspective is utterly promising for Burst. The coin might not be comparable with BTC, but some similarities are there with bitcoin miners in 2010-2011. With that, we can also take advantage in developing Burst long term.


On topic, let me formulate my ideas a bit. From the comments it looks like people agree that we need work/efforts in the PR area done. Perhaps it's not exactly what Wulfcastle suggests, but still something similar.


So why can't we form a Burst (PR) management team? The team should design a detailed (non-technical) road-map with items of importance. The road-map should be created ín close communication with the community, and then making sure that this map is implemented.

The team could use the escrow account, to which everyone can donate coins and that the team can use to pay people to do certain things. As i said already, we need stuff done but it's vital for the endeavor that the whole thing is coordinated and done according to a underlying logic to promote Burst.

That said, it's great with all the fine initiatives from the community members which should continue and be encouraged --- but it's a loss of resources in terms of competences and time if people work separate on connected issues (be it websites, games, videos, texts, socail media, etc.).


I would more than willing to support such a PR management team and a escrow account. I don't know who should be in it or who will be director, that should be decided by the community, but I see burstcoin, uray and crowetic as strong candidates to this team due to their efforts already done to burst.

If such a team is formed and headed by a person of competence, I will as a start donate 50,000 burst to a escrow account that they can use, a sum that will be much higher if things go well. The sum isn't much money-wise but if a lot of community members contribute to this, the sum will be substantial over time (perhaps also adding a bit of buy support).


Concluding, this suggested team is PR related (in a wide sense), but it's equally possible to create an equivalent technical management team, to support and coordinate work in that area of the same reasons. Of course, I'm equally willing to support an initiative like that with funds for a escrow account.


Part of out is that volume is so low that even though it's up people can't cash out.. a single person can swing the price one way or another.. I think I'm probably more than half of yesterday's volume.. was waiting for before 100 satisfies but when it didn't seem like that was happening, I decided to buy.

I like the PR idea, I have a little bit of experience when it comes to marketing as well as technical and that kind of thing as well as technical experience, I'd be happy to help.. I think website is the first priority.

This is exactly what we need.

The power of PR can be seen from coin like blackcoin in its early stage of PR effort which does wonders.

After 770+ pages we start to be serious about PR, i think the timing is just right for a 3+ month coin. PR too early or too late will kill a coin. Now is just about right.


I just made a thread about this on burstforum. Can we agree on a system for longterm support of burst? And how to implement it?

Please bring your own ideas about this and what we can do Smiley

This could be the reason why miners get less coins, seems like an uptrend last week


Just a quick update on the net work size - we've broken 10pb.



I'd say some big actors getting involved, a few data centers with empty servers probably. Interesting where the size will stabilize.

hum..

any idea for this pump??

i lost some good news??

thanks

It's because Wulfcastle is back with a plan. I'm willing to donate as soon someone setup an escrow. Even the announcement of skilled PR and Design raised Burst 30%...  

Though it would be nice to be able to donate Burst instead of BTC, or at least half of it to get some motivation.

Edit: You can also see a significant raise in the total number of wallets and of the network size...  signal: strong buy Wink

you got it!!!

:-)

i just check network size!!!

10,33pb!!!

never reached before!!!

-ANNOUNCEMENT-


Please all miners on http://burst.ga pool, please read the following post in burstforum.com...


https://burstforum.com/index.php?threads/upcoming-changes-ideas-for-burst-ga-pool-suggestions-welcome.350/#post-3677


This will explain the new changes and stuff that is planned for the pool, and leaves room for suggestions from people. Please suggest anything that you think will help the pool and give us a competetive edge over the competition.

Keep in mind I'm talking about the completely new and redesigned pool code that my team and I are currently working on. This will give miners other options aside from dev and Uray based pools. Keep on top of the above thread to keep up to date. This is already in progress though, and should be beta and closed beta tests starting fairly shortly.


Thanks!


Edit: also, pool server will be going down for a restart in a few minutes, so don't worry it's planned.

Server back. But I believe we missed the block that we had 5:15 deadline on, I apologize everyone!

hi blago!!!

waiting for you new miner release who submit all deadlines and not only the best...

any update?

I have been testing a couple Blago's (non-released) beta-versions for dev's v2 pool. The first improved things but still had a bug.

I just got a new version from him. My test so far are really short, but very positive!  Smiley I'll told him he will get another report when I tested some more.

I also wrote I'll make him another donation for his awesome work.

I really encourage you to also support his contribution to the community! People do coding for free but you should always try to support the people making burst possible  Smiley

Blago's Burst address is: BURST-B2LU-SGCZ-NYVS-HZEPK.
His bitcoin address is: 1HnZhU3iaaq2o8sC4rxKNVAZhwyCQz8av

You can see this in his profile: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/blago-333741


If successful, Blago will post later with a new miner and which configurations are needed.

I think there is something wrong. Option two, or someone bought cheap coins and preparing hdd for very rapid growth of diff, and hence growth price. Or someone hacked  the network, the network grow almost twice in one day, it's something very strange.

Who mine on pool v1? What you say about two last day?

I am on pool v1. I got 3000-5000Bursts/day for last two weeks with 9TB. But last 21 hours only 1200.  Sad
So I bought 200k on exchanges today, because growth of difficulty...

I have mined on two popular BurstCOin pools (please don't ask which ones) and solo mined. Solo mining is about twice more profitable (40 TB).

And on a somewhat different note......


I've become intrigued by burst and have been mining successfully with a few tb for a few days at uray's pool & at burst.ga.  Both work well for me.
There are just a few other pools out there some of which have different plotting requirements, so before I get down and plot out a full 10 tb, I was hoping someone might be able to summarize some of the differences between the pools.


u might want to keep a look out on this pool http://cryptomining.farm , they are giving out 1.2 million burst share among all miner when it hit 500 miner which estimated to reach in less than 2 weeks. They are one of the fastest growing pool and would probably be the biggest pool in about a month or 2

I think instead of number of miners they should consider size of plots IMO.
It's the size of plots which makes the pool efficient not the number of miners with small space.
Just my 2 BURST!


for someone has create 10-30account
but, have small plots file/account

i will update deadline limit to < 30 day
bonus will payout when top 1-500 miner can get shares



http://cryptomining.farm does not work well 6K burst in 24 hours with 40 TB plots.  Angry Angry Angry Angry

reward also dropped to 8.57K , for some one is better of to purchase BURST depending on access to cheap disk storage,

reward gonna cut again very soon. 100 sat is a very good price to buy and u will get more burst compare to mining it using the same amount of money use to purchase hardware.

Moreover, mining is a slow process (6 - 12 months to get same amount from buying @ 100 sat) in getting decent amount of burst compare to buying it using the same amount of money.

exactly right, ~767K BURST is 1 BTC (Today) for posterity as things won't be the same and it will be nostalgia later  Cool

let me see what the cheapest drives are on ebay right now if refurbished risk of failure after 2 days

difficulty just crossed 10,000 ...

solomining with blagos miner

host = solo (with passphrase)
satelites = pool?  (without passphrase)

that correct?

Yes, if you have plots for 1 account.
