New here hoping to use my simple decent laptop to start out.

Hello to all I m using a 17" Acer Pentium 3540 Quad Core. I have internet that ranges from 1mbps up to 50mbps hope this is something that will help me as well. I also wanted to mention Adam Guerbuez I saw his video and is how I ended up here because I have no way to really get into the big guys bit coin mining game but I would like to at least be able to start something nice and simple. Thanks in advance to all I hope to be part of the community I really believe in this type of currency I just never before dared to do it.

Welcome
Adam is good guy and in my opinion he did good to introduce Burst to people.Your laptop is more than enough. To mine BURST all you need is harddisk space. CPU is not important (even celeron processors works fine as I tested).
-
Welcome! Anyone can mine Burst as long as they have free harddisk space. You should download the wallet app if you haven't already, as it includes simple tools for plotting (what you need to do before you can mine) and mining. Here's the new website where you can read up and find useful stuff, such as the wallet: https://web.burst-team.us:449/?

@daWallet yeah i have that one already (burst.h2) i made a folder then put in drive C in the burst folder then when i opened the local wallet it says that the blockchain needs to update what did i did wrong? thanks for the reply

@daWallet i have it already man i put as well in the burst folder but its still slowly updating. im stock
-
burst.h2 file should be about 2,8 gigabytes.
Right click the wallet icon on desktop
Click "Open containing folder"
You will see "burst_db" folder there, open it.
Copy the bigger burst.h2 file and paste into the folder. Click "Replace" when Windows warn you the file is aready exist.
-
@moonjeina thanks man if i can give you a virtual medal i would. much appreciate man. can i still ask questions in the future?
-
@ninjasmke yeah bro its still updating hahahahha my bad im sure its 2 gb the db file
-
@ninjasmke Sure you can ask. Actually, I am noob too. .)
-
@ninjasmke If you don't want to go through the trouble of downloading and updating the blockchain, you could use the web-based wallet instead - as that wallet already "contains" an updated blockchain all the time. That's what I use anyway, as I find it more convenient.

@ninjasmke
Don't put the file in the C:\Burst\ folder...you have to put in the AppData\Roaming\BurstWallet\burst_db folder. Really close the client with "exit" and start it again.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/burstwindowswallet/ here you go. Once you have installed the app, you will see that you can choose "online" or "local" wallet. Choose the online version if you want to keep it simple. Alternatively, you can use a regular web browser and go to https://wallet.burst-team.us:8125/index.html
You will also find the option of plotting and mining in the bottom left corner of the app!
-
@daWallet yeah i did it already but its still updating im just gonna use the online one so i dont have to stress myself. i dont have weed atm hahahahha you get me
-
@Propagandalf do i still need to download a miner and a ploting? or can i use the default from the app itself? im still a bit confused and dont know where to start gahhahaha
-
@ninjasmke It's all included in the app, mate :)
