Topic: [ANN][BURST] Burst | Efficient HDD Mining | New 1.2.3 Fork block 92000 - page 575. (Read 2171057 times)

I'm thinking about approaching Sea Gate or WesternDigital or some similar company about sponsoring Burst Coin, what do you think?

Think about it, Bitcoin miners have probably sold $1/2 billion in ASICs?  Ask a hard drive manufacturer if he's willing to spend maybe $100,000 a year in order to be called our official sponsor and get an ad on the homepage, which will help us get this coin seriously off the ground, and drive hard drive sales his way.. you may be able to convince one or two.  We've already got ~ 1 million dollars worth of hard-drives mining for the network... now imagine we had a little bit of money.

Or would the crypto currency community be turned off by sponsorship?  I think worth it to get that money and try to hire a few full time developers with it. We could help them set up a mining pool as well or something.

What do you guys think? Should I write a letter to either Western Digital or Seagate?  Anyone want to help me write it?

Anything that particularly needs to be cleaned up before being ready to show to them?


It is Energy efficient.. once set-up, we barely use any more energy than PoS.  Especially if we could get one small addition to the code that I assume doesn't exist now.  If using an external, or non-primary hard drive to mine, allow switching it off when not in use.  Then what each miner turns on a couple times a day for a few seconds, mines, determines the next deadline, then turns off until approximately that time?  Seems quite energy efficient to me.

I think the advantages are:
Energy Efficient
ASIC resistant
Blockchain Trimmable  (this to me is the huge advantage over Nxt.. the one developer claims he's figured out how.. I say it's impossible though. Of course he's claiming he may add Proof of Work to the equation to do this.. and there goes their energy efficiency. Maybe best to implement this first before bragging about it though)
Asset Exchange
Marketplace

thanks, it seems right for me not to sell it.

Wow, bro, neever been more alive!!! 250k market cap!!

BURST still alive ?
long time not to check here.

It's less secure than using a local wallet, even if you trust website owner and SSL is setup properly etc. The website can be hacked, and it's more likely to become a target of hackers once becoming popular. If you only want to check the balance, this can be done without submitting the passphrase.

Uray, is the burstcoin.io web wallet as secure to use remotely as my local web wallet is?  I would love to check my wallet while on the road away from my local computer with this but I never saw a solid answer to whether this is secure enough for my wallet password.

Thanks...

should we use uservoice.com or answerhub.com for burst ? it has question and answer like stackoverflow.com

 i need burst tagline for our burst web wallet lockscreen at https://burstcoin.io



it seems that "an energy efficient cryptocurrency" is not really fit, because PoS coins actually use less energy, and "HDD mined cryptocurrency" is too technical, i believe burst innovation is more than HDD mined, its a lot more, we need a tagline that describe its uniqness, features, technologies to target not only technical people but all cryptofinance user

if you have any idea please post on this thread...

I have latest version installed 1.1.5 Getting following error

Warning: You are most likely on a fork (you have forged the last 10 blocks).

Plots need to be done from end number seprate  where c drive is you need to do say 0 to 1000 then for 2nd plot 1001 and so on d is fine

As I understand it they should be sequential i.e. 0-1000, 1001-2000 otherwise you will be doubling up on the same work.  I also presume your plot files aren't that small are they? 

come give my pool a try @ http://burst.ga

I'm finally making progress after a few hiccups!

But I have a question regarding plots in several locations,
should they all be part of one continual sequence?

C:\plots\0-1000
C:\plots1\1001-2000, 2001-3000
D:\plots2\3001-4000

or can they be

C:\plots\0-1000
C:\plots1\0-1000
D:\plots2\0-1000

Would be nice to have an FAQ on the website, and this would be a good question to add to it!

OK, blockchain downloaded again and my coins are back  Problem though... I've set the reward recipient again to BURST-7CPJ-BW8N-U4XF-CWW3U and it's just sitting there with a '/' under confirms again.  Could I still be blacklisted?  Should I give up on this wallet and start another, possibly loosing my coins because I can't get them out?  I'd have to delete my plot files and start again but good opportunity to use a faster plotter.

It doesn't matter where the files are stored if they can be read fast enough. For 4 tb you'll need to read approximately 1 gb per block.
If read speed is 10 mb/s, files will be read in ~100 s. As many blocks are found faster than that, miner will be able to use only part of plotted space on these short blocks.

Thx so I will stay on my pool for a few more weeks.

I'm thinking of mining Burst. I have a 4tb WD cloud network drive. Can this drive be used, or do I need a regular HDD right off the MB?
I've tried searching, but 748 pages is a long read.
Thanks

With only a few TB you should use whatever pool you like, except uray's SG (http://pool2.burstcoin.io).

I Have just 5 TB... But i consume just 60 watt. So i contribute :-)
