I just made 25 bucks in burst!

Let me put this into perspective I have forged 16 blocks total since I started had I soloed them that would be 20800 burst what I have actually made via trading and such is about 35k burst. The chance you will forge a block vs the chance you won't... If you have around 50tb you should expect 1-2 blocks in a 30 day time frame at this point that is about 1250 burst per block vs the 5k burst you will make pool mining. The forging of blocks comes down to luck you seem to have been very lucky. In Nov I forged 4 blocks December I am at 2 I have 42.5tb

Hmm I don't know, I made 5k because I forged 6 blocks, had I only forged 1 I would probably be at 1200 or less. My real concern now is I almost never make any pool burst, because with deadlines coming so rarely at 24 hours or less, I am wondering if I should start looking for a pool that accepts longer deadlines. For all I know I'm getting lots of 2 day or so deadlines, that mean nothing to this pool, but would mean more to a pool with longer acceptable deadlines. I'm getting 0.29 per block on the historical side, so that's what I'm considering addressing. It appears that I have been really lucky with my block forging at 6 in less than a month, if the average is 1-2. I also am not interested in playing games trading back and forth, I just want to be in a pool that I can mine and take no other action.

On my pool they pay based on shares done I get paid about 25 burst 3-6 times daily and I get 98-300 per block I hit with a 30-100 bonus the round after that.

Burst.btfg.space

burst booming im up to 1500$

I switched to that pool, still pretty small for me I'm getting two payments around 25 each daily now, but of course it's just the first few days. Their website is terrible, by accepting all deadlines it never keeps up lol

I've also noticed a lot of connection errors, and even starting blocks 30+ seconds late pretty frequently in this pool, it seems like they are seriously starved in bandwidth or hardware. It is nice seeing several deadlines every block now, instead of one every 20-40 blocks.

Ehh the up time is pretty good actually even during the attack this pool was one of the first to recover.

Just my observations coming from club, which I never once saw an error sending files, or the connection less than 99%. Of course only accepting 24h or less means it gets hit a whole lot less too, so I understand. I will be staying put I think. 6 cents and climbing, this is bananas! This is my first foray into crypto of any kind, if I wanted to actually sell this for USD, what would you recommend?
 
Wow! BURST is up to $63.78/1,000 as I type this. That is some pretty nice gain.
 
Now up over 200%. lol. My brother bought some Burst before the McAfee tweet.. he's pretty happy now. I'm sure it will drop back down after the hype.
 
On the 27th there is a major release scheduled by the pocc they anticipate a second large climb
 
Do you guys solo mine or use a pool? I got 2 8tb hdd's and wanted to see what you guys would suggest as far as mining goes?

With only 16TB, you'll definitely want to mine with a pool. I had 18TB and made 5500 burst in about three months. In that whole time, I only forged one block. If I had been solo mining that one block would have earned me something like 1500 burst (iirc).
 
burst.btfg is good for any size, burstcoin.space is a good pool too in my experience.
 
Been following this thread for awhile. Fun stuff. I understand for plotting use the best CPU/GPU ya got.
Now as for mining what is the ideal CPU? I have read here that more threads are an advantage.
How much of an advantage? Does MHz matter in this? Any must have instruction sets for mining?
Sorry for all the questions if this has been clearly answered before. Myself and hopefully others here would appreciate some clarification on this.
 
The main thing when mining is how quickly your plots are scanned. Having the AVX2 instruction sets is a definitely plus. Multiple threads are also an advantage since they will all be utilized during the plot scanning process each time a new block is processed.

All your plots are scanned an parallel, so assuming no I/O bottlenecks, it all comes down to how quickly your CPU can processes the data.

Thanks pclausen. To gain a little more perspective on this if i may, are we talking a 2/4 i3 as ideal, or a 8/16 Ryzen? Is there a logical point where after a certain point "X" is enough threads? And "X" is overkill.
 
I would say it depends on how many drives you have plots on. If you get less than 10, I'd imagine a 4 thread processor would suffice, but if you have like 40+ drives, I'd look at something like the 8/16 Ryzen or a used E5 Xeon with 8+ cores.

actually most cpus can handle up to about 200tb without running out of time
plotting yes you need something like you say for cpu you could get by with gpu plotting which is much faster...

big changes incoming price also up 40% and rising...

So I keep noticing that the pool is really lagging behind on confirming deadlines, often taking about 90 seconds between sending a deadline and confirming it (see attached.) I think this is really hurting the pool, because if any members actually get a quick time, it will be lost because of this. I'm getting about 100 - 120 burst a day now with my 50TB, and I haven't hit any blocks, but I AM worried with it regularly being behind in confirming downloads AND starting new blocks AND having regular connection issues. I think they should set the limit SOMEWHERE, I've seen some 4 million year deadlines turned in...

On his discord he recommended to set it to 5 years but honestly a month or 2 is more than enough

Oh I never see anything older than a few years, I just meant on his server. These issues aren't on my side, my previous pool would go from found to sent to confirmed inside a few seconds. Every time. Just observing that by allowing so many deadlines, his server must be constantly hammered and it drags the whole pool down by being slower.

The miners typically only accept the best in the settings there is a send best only or something like that

Doesn't address my issue, which is that the POOL is too slow. THEY are the ones who can't keep up, so as it is, it's no wonder the pool only wins a block every 120 of them or so. We only stand a chance if the block is greater than 2 minutes for best deadline, as for example I may have sent a 60 second deadline in 25 seconds in, but if the pool doesn't confirm the deadline for another 90 seconds, someone with a time of 100 seconds on another pool will win the block because my pool couldn't keep up. I don't use discord but I may have to discuss this with them this way, explaining the issue here doesn't solve anything.

Bump.
Help me out guys. Ready to rock. CPU or GPU?
Click to expand...
I didn't have a good gpu, but typically they are much faster, however they need to be optimized after which may eat into their efficiency of speed. However in the end gpu will still most likely be the way to go if you have lots of drives. My ryzen 1700x was able to keep up with 8 tb wd easystore over usb 3 by using 14 threads, so if you're using just one drive that will be fine.
 
Anyone want to sell me a few dollars worth of burstcoin so that I can get started mining?
 
Just a thought. Is there ever a need to de-frag a drive? Maybe even after a plotting optimization befor mining?
Just throwing it out there.
 
In case you haven't seen it yet, this is an interesting read:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2653474.0

So it looks like we're all going to be replotting or converting our plots. From the whitepaper:

"Software used for the mining process can operate on both
PoC1 as well as PoC2 format, where PoC1 requires twice the
reads compared to PoC2 and works on both optimized as well
as unoptimized PoC1 plots.
For better PoC2 performance a PoC1 → PoC2 converter
will be offered."

Only takes 33 seconds for me to read my 50 tb as it is, and that's with two raid arrays, which are frowned upon. Maybe the conversion will be quick?

Has anyone experimented with mapping network drives on a Gigabit LAN?
Click to expand...
yeah you get bottleneck by gigabit and the added congestion on the network can cause some issues with other deviced depending on your setup and how many hops you have between them. USB3 is likely faster.

but yeah it works. Depending on the CPU the CPU could actually be the bottle.
 
Anyone wanna buy my Burst? I have 5718. Paypal gift. Need some cash so I can go buy some Kerosone since I am freezing.
 
Crap... recent Windows Defender update is showing the AIO 0.3.13 client to be a trojan. Now I have to go and fix a couple rigs that aren't launching the miner now...

Edit: I think something was off on the update as the only two that won't mine had to be reverted back to 0.3.10.
