Sent out the first payments from the multipool. They may be a little low as we accidentally forked a coin.

received. do you think you would consider paying out more than once a day?

This could happen if the hashrate were to rise significantly as currently running more than once a day would mean that a sizable portion of the payout would be spent of fees.

Well we have the dumb cloudcoin with a multipool dumping burst for its own coin too.....

wd toshiba seagate are about to get greedy when they catch on to this trend..

I've been wondering about this, too, but I'm skeptical.  There's no evidence that cryptocurrency mining has had a substantial impact on the finances of AMD.
I'm just stating this from memory, but I'm fairly certain GPU mining gave AMD sales a huge bump for Q1 and to a lesser extent Q2 of 2014. Also, I know for a fact during that massive Bitcoin (and Litecoin) bubble earlier this year there was a global shortage of AMD graphics cards, causing their prices to go way up.

The same could potentially happen for HDDs if Burst gets big enough, but the market for HDDs is larger than the one for GPUs (I'm guessing) so there would be a lot more wiggle room before shortages start occurring.

Gridseed is already thinking about HDD asic.
Just a joke....but they follow market,so it doesn't surprise me if will happen.

Im still running on the v2 pool using bfgminer with my u2+ miners, freshcoin on my 2 gpu miners (since its cheap to run) and burst with my non ssd storage drive.  Also have the wallet open and running, a ridiculous amount of IE windows and a ton of other crap with no lag... Only 8gb 2400ram on a 4770k here.
edit usb charging phone and electronic cig battery too, all on a 600 watt power supply I've been using for years... even with my 7950 overclocked and overvolted and my 7790 video card never a hiccup LOL

Hey Amph... try mining Monero with your cards at the same time as mining Burst. I am getting a slight drag on CCMiner but no drag on BURST so I can mine two coins at once. I tried Jackpot but too much of a drag on resources. Oh and I get a slight Monero boost with Google Chrome running in background. Someone needs to investigate why that happens and incorporate it into their miner.

i've sold my gpu lol

still fighting this stupid mem issue

Did ya try switching to the other pool to see if that helps?

i'm trying with another miner(the one in the mining section)

And it is chewing up RAM too?

apparently yes, i'm starting to think that the problem is in the pool...

Well my TB is almost out of the game for the pool it seems.  Cant wait for my new hard drives to show up but by time they do and their setup im not so sure how long their going to be competitive it at all.  

its almost impossible to lose money since the rate of burst is good and shows much promise. you pay pennies running your harddrive thinking in terms of electric.. ware and tear is the only concern


average harddrive spinning 24/7 lasts two years+ out of the box

I can get a 3 year unconditional warranty for $20 per 4 TB drive. It is a no-brainer because I see how long that they last. I told the salesman that I will be back to get a new free one Tongue
in 3 years you wont want to get a 4 tb replacement drive. think of 12-32 tb drives then ;-)
Without a radical change in HDD hardware design its unlikely we'll reach 12 let alone 32 tb in drive space.

By the end of the week that graph will be 2x that I bet....  We all get our hard drives this week =-)

I've been tracking the total network plot size (which is calculated from the difficulty). The total network plot size continues to grow at an exponential rate:

https://i.imgur.com/1tYpm28.png

It seems we're now definitively above 2 Petabytes in size, and we've been flirting with 4 PB.

Since the total plot size is so stochastic, I find it useful to plot the moving average as well:

https://i.imgur.com/IueYuvL.png

This plots the 360 block moving average for the total plot size, which is effectively the average for the past day's worth of block.

How long until we reach 10 Petabytes? I predict we'll hit it within a week, and we'll see the moving average hit it within 12 days.

Great graphs, thanks for posting the updated versions. Would love to see network size plotted against HDD price, WD/Seagate stock prices if Burst takes off.

I plan on selling off one of my videos cards as well.  Not going back to the that power bill....  I'll keep my 7950 just in case I find a coin I  really want to mine.  Meanwhile im waiting until somebody moves things around and we can mod bitcoin with hard drives!
