@haitch said in New Target Deadline for Burstcoin.party Pool:
@Darkbane You can use that setting to avoid sending pointless DL's to the pool, eg pretty much anything over an hour, but if you limit the DL's you send, it may impact your historic share value a little. I'm not sure of the impact of sending for example a 3 day deadline vs. no DL at all.
as for the information being scattered, yes it is - but it's a whole lot better than it was when I got involved with Burst. The whole reason I created these forums was to provide a place to record the knowledge, and let people ask questions about things they don't understand or can't find knowledge about. The collective knowledge of everyone here can answer any question, from fundamentals in the wallet code, to setting up a miner or what is a deadline. It's not perfect, but it's better than what used to be.
and as you can see, its helped me, I mean I've been scouring for information and I seem to keep coming back here to find it, there is just so much the way its organized needs to be optimized, like a plot lol, pun intended... I'm far from an expert computer user, but I can't begin to imagine how a basic or even a novice might feel trying to make heads or tails of the information and flood of it...
have you thought about condensing some of the topics... when I was looking for basic info I was going through multiple threads that seem all relatively the same, especially with the new users who we no doubt flood the sight with many duplicate threads and conversations making the flood of information worse... for example...
a new user comes onto the website, they want all the basics lined up in a row... "new users start here" and within that will have the introduce yourself, the step 1, step 2, step 3... basically each step broken down to a new thread so until they finish step 1 there is no reason to try the other steps, and likely when they encounter a problem, that will be the single source for their answer eventually, rather than what I've seen and honestly done myself is post in a couple threads because I simply didn't know the others existed... such as when I couldn't get the faucet to work I saw others asking for burstcoins in another thread, only to later on stumble across a thread made just for that... but I never saw it earlier, because there was just so much to go through...
I think streamlining it for new users with step by step threads might reduce a ton of clutter and wasted duplication and searching... and likely free up your time from folks like me asking questions that have been answered hundreds of times no doubt by the looks of it, but we simply can't find it easily and have to sort through hundreds of messages in several threads trying to find it...
(I know its far easier for me to criticize and suggest something be done, then someone have the time to actually do it, so please don't take this as back seat gaming, just trying to spot the obvious and make a suggestion that will no doubt give you way more time which I can only imagine is precious with all the stuff going on at the moment it seems, so no offense or harshness meant, since I do come off as abrasive in text sometimes, just trying to give a "new user perspective" to help improve things if possible)
