Blockchain downloading

@Cornel DB = the blockchain DataBase. The zip is a copy of the blockchain zipped up and made available sometime in the last 24 hours. Instead og having to download the whole blockchain, you only need the updates since the zip was created.

Sorry for my clueless, I'm a total beginner. What do you mean by: "Extract the zip into <your wallet>\burst_db"?

For instance, the path to my burst database folder (burst_db) is: C:\Users\Propagandalf\AppData\Roaming\BurstWallet\burst_db
The zip needs to be extracted into that location, but with your username of course (assuming you are using Windows and assuming you are using the all-in-one-wallet).

So now, it repeats again. Every time after the blockchain is downloaded I can't open the Local Wallet. It says:
"""""""Your local wallet hasn't started yet. It can take up to 10 minutes to start up. Try it again later
Please check that you have Java installed!
Download Java here: https://www.java.com/download/
and then restart the Burst Client.
If your local wallet doesn't start at all you can clean up the database.
Go to "Help" -> "Clean up DB".""""""""""
I tried every 20 min to come back, but is still the same. I also have the Java installed. I really don't know what to do.
-
@Cornel If you're having problems with the local wallet, in the AIO client select to use the online wallet. There is no need to run a wallet locally.
-
i had same issue been using the online side of the AIO for little over a month every time i close out the burst client the DB gets corrupt and i would get the same message saying to download Java or clean up DB wait 20 min.
-
But as I understood, the online wallet is not so safe as the local one; besides, I'm not sure if it's possible to mine with the online wallet...
-
@Cornel I run the online wallet - it's completely safe. Your interactions are SSL encrypted, even I can't see what you're doing. If you're solo mining, you need to submit your nonces to the wallet, if you're pool mining you submit it to the pool and never talk to the wallet.
-
you can mine with no wallet and only need the wallet numeric ID # to plot , if using the stand alone app's
-
So far, I just found tutorials about mining with the local wallet. Where can I find tutorials or material regarding mining with an online wallet?
-
@Cornel Are you solo or pool mining ?
If pool mining set your reward recipient to the pool, and mine to it's address.
If solo mining, mine to the wallet address - either local or online.

One more thing: I bought from Poloniex.com with btc around 17,000 bursts. Then I withdrew it to my local wallet.How will I be able to access this 17,000 bursts if it doesn't allow me to open the local wallet?
-
local wallet is just a wallet that you hoste local , the coins are in your wallet and its data is stored on the block chain , all you need is your pass phrase and can access your wallet from any wallet node , online or local.

Local Wallet simple means that you have the entire block chain data on your local computer. Coins are stored on the block chain, public or private it doesn't matter it's all the same set of data (copies to be exact). Your passphrase is the key to perform transactions (move money) related to your burst ID. Without it you can still view anyone wallet as it's all public data you just can't do anything with it.
I hope this clears it up a little.

like @IceBurst said your pass phrase is your privet key for burst, if your familer with how bitcoin works, for it your privet key is the file that you have to back up and store somplce safe. with burst your pass phrase replace's that file as your privet key.
-
It seems I was able to solve the set up process, now I am going to try mining.
I want to thank you very much for such comprehensive help in such a short time.
It seems it's true the saying about the great Burst community.
-
@Cornel We have over 1,500 people in the forums every day, most willing to help others. The community and their support in Burst is Awesome!
-
I can't wait until Burst mining will be available for iPhone as well.
-
Regarding mining: in order for my computer to keep mining bursts, do I need to keep it permanently open, or I can put it in the sleep mode as well?
