uray, your miner reads plots by 4kB chunks. Maybe better enlarge that size? Even clustersizes are upto 64kB.



And what about single read-thread per path?

yeah its possible, but currently i am busy working on wallet

hy uray,

which features are you implementing on wallet???
if it is possible to know!!!

 Wink Wink Wink Wink




i am integrating java miner & plotter into wallet, and convert it to desktop app

This looks amazing. Keep up the good work

yes its great, can't wait to test it Smiley

Uray, its Wulfcastle here, designer of the current Wallet UI & Burst Logo/OP Graphics.

I dumped all of my BURST around a month back, mainly due to the supply being diluted with around ~3.7 Million BURST per day, but now it has reached the point where BURST has enough infrastructure, largely thanks to you, to make a big push to compete with the big names in the crypto-space. Everything is virtually set in place, all BURST needs now is an easier to use client and miner (which is what your desktop application will accomplish) and the right marketing and promotion, which I can provide.

If you have a test version ready of your desktop app for Windows that I can try out, I will come back to BURST and begin designing and promoting BURST once again.





uray, this offer still stands. If you can send me a test version of this client, that I can assess, I will come back to BURST and begin designing/promoting once again.

First at all, sorry for my English, I would try to explain one of the possible solutions to extend BURST to people, because I think than if more people use and mine BURST the future of the coin would be better.

I´m sure that there are millions of computers with a lot (hundreds of Gb) of free HDD space, but they know nothing about BUSRT and the way they can make some money with no extra cost.

If we can make easy to take into production those free Gb and we make a limited campaign for the people to know about it, they will become BURST fans for sure.

Nowadays starting mining it´s very complex, even with the burst.today system. A newbie has to (1) create a account, (2) ask for funds, (3) reassign the reward, (4) plot the files and finally (5) start to mine.

I propose the creation of a webpage to simplify the first three points needed to start mining. This website would have a repository of BURST addresses (previously created, initialized and assigned) would be allocated to people who sign up on it.

With this address and a GUI program that allows them to decide how many free space (perhaps in 1 or 10Gb files), want to use to mine, they can easily start to generate plots and mine with them using a pool in the same webpage used to generate the address.

I kwon that it takes a lot of problems for a pool to have thousands of user, but is we use a different protocol between the pool and the miner (including height and deadline on it), it´s possible to check the submitted nonce in a asynchronous way, allowing much more nonces submissions with no delay.

I´m sure that everything I comment here is not really difficult to be done, and I´m starting in making some changes in Uray´s miner and pool sources, but I´ve been for more than ten years without programming and it become hard to me.

If you like my ideas, I hope so either, I´ve no problem in trying to explain them in depth.


what do you mean by "check the submitted nonce in a asynchronous way" ?

i believe nonce submission is already asynchronous in server side, and also client can add height and deadline during nonce submission, but pool still need to re-check if the submitted nonce is actually result to the deadline as client said.

I mean that you can recieve the nonce submision and append it to a file with all the nonces recieved, sending as a response just that you recieve it not the deadline you calculate. In the background you check the smalest deadline nonce (not checked) you have recieved, and could later check all of them. In this way, the miners recieve the answer of they submitted nonces quickly (I got, sometimes, more of 20 seconds in my responses), because you don´t have to make any complex calculation prior to respond them. After the first seconds, when miners throw most of the submision, you can quietly check the rest of the submisions. (At the end you make less checkings because you only check the smallest of every miner)

if you want to do that, you better use persistent connection not http request, as current http connection protocol is not "keep-alive" so when you submit nonce, you need to create tcp connection, and disconnect the connection after you received the response.

an example of persistent connection is like stratum protocol on most PoW coin, when you start mining, you "subscribe" to pool, if there are new block, pool will inform you, what client need to do is just submit nonce and pool will inform the deadline later without need to wait for it

but we still dont have standard mining protocol here, and new miner need to be developed for stratum like protocol

The pool at http://mine.burstcoin.info needs miners. There is also an asset you can buy into there that will provide you with extra income. The connection was killed at a very unfortunate time, and thus the pool lost quite a few of it's miners. Now I am going to do this in order to get some back! So, here goes...



The next 25 miners to join the pool, PM me with their burst address, and wait for me to see them on the list of stats on the pool, will be sent 1,500 burst!


The 25 after that to do the same thing, will receive 1,000 burst.


The 25 after that will receive 750 burst.


We will start with that, and see how it goes. I am more than willing to do more giveaways.

The pool server has been solid now for a good while since the incident with the storm, and we shouldn't be experiencing issues like that again. So, let's get our power back and become the pool that we can be!






**Note, I also have another pool that's unofficially related to this pool, but it's private and no fee, and located in the US. If you're interested in that pool you can PM me. Not sure how long it will stick around, or if I will merge with the other pool, it all depends on the miner count and blocks found, etc.**



We are still looking for people on the pool, we've got about 50, but we're looking for 3 times that at least. We are constantly adding power, and the pool has been very solid.

So... I've decided to extend my giveaway, and up the amounts, the next 25 people to Jump on the pool, have me see them in the stats submitting shares, I will send 1600 burst!

PM me with your BURST address and once I see you in the stats submitting shares, you'll be paid immediately. I would prefer if people stayed for at least a day, but it's up to you if you want to take my money and run, if you are okay with doing that, that's on you!

I have pointed my miners to your pool.

Anyone know of the next big cryptocurrency convention and where? Would be good if someone that lives close by it, to attend it and promote Burst?

Also, everyone can help discuss Burst PR ideas at the following: http://www.reddit.com/r/burstcoin/comments/2jf4jh/any_ideas_how_to_promote_burst/ , https://burstforum.com/index.php , https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=825644.new#new .

I found this online, this is the next convention: http://www.cryptocurrencyconvention.com/london/ . If you live in the area and wouldn't mind conversing about Burst and have extensive knowledge on Burst technologies, please do not hesitate on this opportunity to help the community out.

I participated in the previous giveaway and received the incentive quickly. I recommend the pool and have been mining on the pool ever since. Besides the one downtime the pool has been stable. hopefully more people will join this great pool. The devs of the pool seem to be really active

Thank you. I appreciate your kind words.

 Yes, the owners of the pool (Myself, Irontiga, fanepatent, and BTR) are very active. We do our best to make sure everyone is fully accomodated, we have issued our asset for purchasing new hardware to mine on the pool, and have already purchased 10TB that mines there. There will by many more purchases, and our pool will grow, we could just use some of your people's help, simply by mining on our pool and helping us grow.

Depending on the success of this pool, I will consider opening another US based (this time) pool with very low fees, and/or another asset with more rewards for mining, and different incentives. We are trying to better burstcoin, and we will.

Thanks!

Burst forum.com is a well designed, awesome forum. Really intelligent people there willing and friendly to help. We are for the betterment of burst as a whole. Let's do it.  Wink

Pardon my phone spelling... Ffs.

I know burstforum is very dedicated and hard working group, but it is time to step it up and create a PR team and/or find a professional promoter with good credentials.

uray,
BlockNet has nothing to do with a service type like storeJ???
can you explain better plz?

is seem just a bundle of servicer for coins who share the Protocol...

Ach forget the XC PR stunt. They don't have anything better to do than cloning other big coins ideas and claiming reinvent all themselves. They cloned all the ideas from Darkcoin before, and now SuperNET. They just trying to pump their coin as high as possible to dump on other naive investors.

something wrong with Uray US pool. Deadline becomes very high.

I think Uray change the pool now its becomes unstable.

is it better now? made some improvement

It was fine after a while when i reported the issue but now it's back again. See the pool site right now , most miner over 1000 years

ok, it should be fixed now

U can see the pool urself. http://burst-pool.cryptoport.io

Still over 1000 years. In fact , its over 10,000 years.

Also, u might want to consider shutting down pool 3 since it has less than 100 miner. Ur profit will be better if there were only 2 pool.

Its back to normal now.

I wonder if your pool profit will increase if your only have 1 pool with good specs.

If u combine all pool into 1 , u can attract more miner than having 3 pool because most miner (like myself) like to join big pool due to stable payout. U should have about 500++ miners if u combine them , making it the biggest burst pool.

It is also easier for u to maintain 1 pool instead of 3

i provides 3 pools because each of them has different characteristics :

US Pool : for regular stable payout, but a bit slow in performance due to more miners
SG Pool : almost like solo mining, for miner that own very large capacity, high payout but more variance
EU Pool : for miners who want performance & reliability due to deadline limit

as for profitability, most of them are due to burst price factor, i still have faith in burst value, so lets wait and see

the error you mentioned was not performance issue, its just bug that when new round is triggered, old nonce submission was not cleared in the queue, so the remaining nonces in the queue are checked against new block, hence the large deadline. but it seems to be fixed, i don't see any large deadline so far.
and the performance is quite good, i don't see single nonce submission failed on US and EU Pool, but i still see nonce submission failed on EU, but it could be miner using old miner client (java)

and please note that, if your miners say failed to submit nonce, its because the client does not receive reply from pool for specific timeout period, but the nonce is actually received by pool and added to the share, but when pool want to reply the deadline to client, the connection already closed
