A quick note
Phase 2 has officially started!
It was a really smooth launch with a lot of new investors asking for shares during the transition from Phase 1 to Phase 2. These have been included in "The Believers" list.
Many of the booked shares have been sold, the remaining are waiting for payment which should come in the next few days.
The project has reached 1.8 BTCs in just two days which honestly has surpassed my initial expectations and I have to thank everyone who believed in BLTPS since the beginning and still is: we are set to grow thanks to you!

Plenty of shares are available for new investors so make sure you have a look at this project and, if you want, buy some!
The more the raised funds, the better BLTPS influence on the markets will be! (and the more you will be profiting, obviously!)


Update v1.1.0 - Phase 2

Burst Long Term Price Support project
(BLTPS)

Changelog
v1.1.0 - 11/nov/2014
Phase 2 has officially started
"How to Participate" section has been properly updated
Phase 2 details have been published
Part of the text has been rewritten and updated to match the current phase

Bump for the great project of Nevril.
It's one of the reasons for BURST to rise again.
Guys, go joining this project. We will bring BURST back to its former height.

Hi,

I know it's probably somewhere in the 700+ pages but can any tell me an easy way to send Burst to my wallet with the public key that's required for first time deposits?  I just stupidly transferred a fair amount from Poloniex and lost it!  I've looked around but can't seem to find any exchanges that allow you to include the public key for first transfers.

Also, just plotting 6TB at the moment with plenty of room for expansion.  What is the minimum TB suggested at present to give a good chance of finding blocks?

Come join us at http://burst.ga ! Smiley

I've setup for your site and I think it's working but where your instructions say wait for 4 blocks to confirm I have a webpage up http://localhost:8125/burst with a long line of text and that's it.  Will more lines appear with each block or have I done something wrong?

That's correct, it means your submission went through, now just wait for the four confirms and you're good to go! Send me your burst address and I will give you the 1500 burst I was giving to newcomers a while back Smiley

Thanks! BURST-JKNG-PNZA-SSTY-46H3B . It seems to be working the same signature as shown on your site so I guess all good.

Any way of checking my setup now it's been connected for some time?  Seems every time it submits shares I get an error submitting nonce or the standard error reading file which I would expect as I'm still plotting.  Are there any shares that have been submitted at all yet?  I can't see my address on burst.ga
Assuming you're trying to mine with that same address( BURST-JKNG-PNZA-SSTY-46H3B ) your reward recipient is not set. That's why you're getting the submitting nonce errors. The reward assignment will show up in your wallet as a transaction for 0 burst with a 1 burst fee after it has been set.

This is the two lines that appeared in my wallet when I set the reward assignment as per the site instructions :-


I'd also like to add that I can't seem to obtain a public key for my wallet.  I've tried sending messages, buying an alias and sending money but everything seems to take 1 burst and sits there with no confirms.  Also when I buy an alias it appears for a couple of seconds and then goes back to 'No aliases yet, register one!'

Did I need to start re-plotting again once I joined the pool as I was already plotting for my wallet?

The / at the end indicates that it hasn't been included in a block yet. Does the peers tab show you are connected to the network? What is the most recent block you see, and what wallet version are you using?

Lots of peers, Block 33217 and version 1.1.5
The only thing I can think of is if there is some transaction your client has which isn't validating for other users, so when you try to broadcast it, all your transactions are getting rejected, and your client temporarily blacklisted. First check if your clock is set correctly. If it is set too far in the future, it could cause this situation. If your clock is fine, try clearing unconfirmed transactions. There are 2 ways of doing this. The easy way is close the client, delete the burst_db folder, reopen it, and by the time it finishes syncing again the blacklisting will have worn off and you can try it again. The harder(but faster) way is to edit the .conf file in the /conf folder, setting "nxt.enableDebugAPI=true", restart the client, go to http://127.0.0.1:8125/test?requestTag=DEBUG in your web browser, click clearUnconfirmedTransactions, then submit. Wait at least 10 minute(for blacklisting to expire), then try the reward assignment again. Alternatively, this might fix itself if you wait long enough since the transactions will expire and disappear if they don't get into a block.

Awesome! I got blacklisted Smiley  OK, I've gone the easy way and it's all fired up again and downloading the blockchain.  Fingers crossed.  I'll report back.

Monero (XMR) - secure, private, untraceable
^PM sent.

and also you can check the result by using this API :

http://compute.burstcoin.io:8109/burst?requestType=getDeadline&accountId=YourAccountNum&nonce=5889794&height=32848&target=3941683&scoop=427&gensig=db8cbd6f3b4347af33b6c5dbd014e88886b1534c471ba4437958111360a83697

since you dont provides your accountNum, replace the "...accountId=YourAccountNum..."

this API will re-create the plot from scratch based on the information you provided (just like on OP diagram), and then return the deadline
OK. Thank you. I'll calculate all my plots again. Maybe they are corrupted. I'm using Janror's cpu plotter V1.16.
My plots were corrupted. I recalculated them and now everything works OK.

I hate to openly ask but this seems to be fastest solution.

Could any spare a few burst please? I'm trying to link address with pool failed due to no transaction history,
I used faucet but somehow it went to an address I can't access. Purchased on poloniex but waiting on the withdrawal to complete.

BURST-N8KB-DKKW-9C4W-AF289

Thank you

Seems like the faucet worked?
http://burstcoin.eu/address/9482343705890921001

It did thanks.

Next problem I get is "no valid plot file or directory" with burst miner r4 w64
but the mining.conf config locations is right and the plot is in the correct place, I've tried creating smaller plot
at the drive root for testing but same error occurs.

I made the plots with Janror's cpu plotter(sse4/avx2)
Any Ideas?

Sooooo... I just looked at the first post and all, so sorry if I missed it...
But wouldn't someone with a spare data server layin around with 10+ TB of space have a huge advantage? Or other large data-storage entities, like Google for example?

This is an interesting idea for a coin, but it seems easy for someone with huge storage to manipulate this. Who needs an ASIC when you can buy several ginormous HDDs? LOL

Couple things though, you can resell HDDs if this coin falls apart, which is a big positive in my mind and more likely to lead to people mining.  Also, related to this 'ASIC resistant' more means that you don't gain any extra advantage by mining using special hardware per unit hardware.  You could also go and buy hundreds of computers or GPUs in Proof of Work systems.

And it's true that large companies would benefit if they decided to mine.  But by the time Burst is big enough for them to care about it, it'll be hard for them to get a large enough percentage to attack... because other companies would also want a large chunk.  Not to mention all the mining pools.



I still don't understand how the deadline is calculated.. the infographic in the first post seems to indicate how plots are made.  I only vaguely understand how they are later utilized though to do the mining.

In this context, the details of the mining calculation themselves aren't that important, it's just that it takes substantial time to look up and process that many plots.  Knowing that you almost certainly have the best deadline means that you can get a jump start on that process.

Thanks for the thoughts about where to go next.  I may take a crack at writing an explanation about ASIC resistance at some point.

Is it possible to know whether or not someone had the right to mine within the last X blocks but passed up his turn?  Given that your public key is required to make plots, seems to me like it may be possible.. may or may not require a slight re-write.

I'm curious because the way that Nxt's 90% protection works is that every time a forger submits a block to the network stating that they have the right to forge, all the other forgers look backward through their blockchain through the past 1440 blocks and check to see if this forger had a chance to forge but skipped taking it.  If so, then the forger must wait another 1440 blocks before being allowed to submit a block.  This means that you can't hold back forging and try to manipulate the order that your various accounts working together to attack the network forge in in order to get the overall chain with highest difficulty.

just FYI, pool does not really suffer from network traffic, pool suffer on verfiying computation, every single nonce miner send, pool will need to do shabal256 hash ~48000 times, that is for single nonce from one miner, on one round on average there are 1500 nonces received for 100 miners

i believe you are talking about stratum protocol (by saying scrypt source), stratum was aimed to reduce traffic by adjusting pool-diff and to make miner can create his own job without need to ask pool regularly, its completely different to burst, while on PoW the more nonce you send the more reward you get, and also PoW algorithm was made to be hard to calculate and very easy to check for its validity

on burst does not like that, on burst you just need very small network traffic no matter how large your plot is, and burst mining does not really use cpu power, miner just need to do 1 shabal256 hash per nonce they have, but to verify the validity of deadline will need 48000 more power

Okay, so we really need the miner to only have to send the very best nonce deadline the miner has, no matter the plot size, and then, somehow (perhaps over a number of blocks) try to infer a reasonable estimate as to the total plot size of that miner, in order to reward fairly.  the estimate only have one deadline per block per miner to work with, but over a number of blocks that might be enough to do some kind of estimate. Best thing would probably be a rolling window or something that weights most current data more than not so current data, as people can take plots online and offline.

With the correct estimate function, splitting up a plot into many plots and using many addresses will not help the miner (which is what we want)  The function would correctly estimate the many small plot sizes and their total reward would be the same as if it was a large plot.

It isn't really important to guess the size correctly, as long as all the guesses are the correct fraction of the sum of all the guesses.



that is what currently implemented, averaging on sliding window, but big miners complain that when they found a block they still get regular payout, so i create SG pool that reward them most, by rewarding more on recent score, and smaller sliding window, just more like solo mining

but yeah I admit the most fair calculation statistically would be like dev-pool, summed up all submitted nonce that within deadline limit
