350 burst a day last week, but it seems that burst price is too low, lots of miners leave away, now should be more, last week , has 6000TB, now seems only 5000TB

I use Blago's miner across all of my 5 rigs (8 TB each) total 40 TB.
Since when Uray has changed his servers, I get lots of block which ends up even before my miner can complete reading the entire plots (~25 sec)

--------------    New block 24864, basetarget 3583972    --------------
shares lost due to new block

And I get really lot many blocks with this kind of message ! almost like once every 4-5 blocks  (i.e. ~20-25%)
So who is the culprit here,

Uray's Pool which can't response in time after hardware change ?
Blago's miner which takes more time to sending the data ?
Something else which makes very short blocks & get those 20-25% blocks by solo ?

If it's something else, may be it's the reason why people reported above don't find enough blocks by solo !

miner sends data and waits for an acknowledgment from the server. In the first 2 minutes it takes a lot of time on overloaded servers.
Now I do asynchronous work with the server - first send all the data, and then we'll wait for them to confirm.

I get quiet a few red lines about some plots being "locked?". But nothing uses the files beside the miner so I'm not sure what's going on.


This error occurs when the unexpected end of file.
Recalculate size/file name, reduce the "CacheSize".
when the locked file message is displayed, is it just informational and the miner keeps trying to finish reading the file?  or is the file in question not read anymore when that message is displayed?

Miner reads the file in chunks of CacheSize nonces, but suddenly the end of file (possibly in the middle).

ICO? Not even once.

I think that locked files are being skipped in that block, I guess that's why it says 99%.

- Client (using dcct's, but happens with java client too) reports a deadline of 6/7 digits.
- Pools (tried several) report a deadline of hours.

I'm not seeing this with Uray's miner and crowetic's, fanepatent's et al.'s pool.

6th BTC reached. Thank you for your support
11 Days without a block with 9TB - what is going on with this thing? Was finding a block every day or two at most for the last 50 days until the 8th of October. Everything running as it should.

There's a spot of bad luck and then there's this.

9TB is not enough to solo mine IMO. Why don't you come join us at mine.burstcoin.info? I'm still doing my giveaway of 1600 burst for new miners.

9TB is and has been plenty for a block every couple of days/3 days max. Why is it suddenly not happening now? Has anything changed since the 9th of October that could stop the java miner from working as it should?

Same here with 60TB. Doesn't find block since 2 days. Before that it worked great. No idea what happens then.

Something is definitely wrong then. Who is getting more than their fair share of the blocks? Is it possible to rig the process or tip the scales to make your plots 'luckier' than others?

same here, not only am I not getting any blocks (12TB), but all my nonce submitted are all at least 8 digits, the smallest nonce submitted was 6 digits (in 5 days).  

after 5 days of this, I switched to pool2.burstcoin.io,  4 digit nonce are more frequent now.  Not sure what's going on.

Exactly what I am getting as well. Literally nothign has changed since the 8th of October and yet I still haven't got a block and most "best" deadlines are 5 or 6 figures.

What is going on here? it ain't monumental bad luck - not for all of us.

12hrs after switching from solo to pool2, got a block.

Question: are you just looking at your miner's output, or are you watching what the pool is reporting, too?

Because, since 1 week ago (sort of), I have been looking at both at the same time, and this is what I found:

- Client (using dcct's, but happens with java client too) reports a deadline of 6/7 digits.
- Pools (tried several) report a deadline of hours.

I don't know if it's the client's fault, or the pool's fault.
But we are paid by the pools, not the clients, so what I see the pool report is what is used to calculate payment.

Anyway, there's some serious fail coding somewhere.
I've seen so many people talk about the future of this altcoin and focusing on advertising and investors, blah blah, but the blunt truth is that any investor will not want to invest on something that is so broken.

Some of third party tools are incompatible or have known issues, but dev can't be held responsible for other developers code. Did you try dev2 pool? I've checked the shares list and it did register all the shares which were sent to it.

is this legit?

You can check the commit, which is a very simple change, and run it from source, if you're paranoid.

I think it's just the fact that you're competing with large pools. It even takes out small-med sized pool a while to find a block... I know that Uray's pools find a lot and so does the dev's v2.
