Mining With Online Wallet Verses Local Wallet Questions
-
Hello Everyone,
As a Newbie to mining Burst, I am a Professional Forex Trader and Coach, I have a question regarding mining via a online wallet verses a mining on a local wallet, specifically on windows.
I notice that I can mine without initially downloading the entire blockchain via the online option. I basically have a couple questions:
- That being said, is there any diminish harm or less benefit in mining using the online option verse the local wallet?
- Do I need to DL the entire blockchain in order for the online method for mining to work efficiently?
Am I missing something here concerning mining with the online and the local wallet methods?
I look forward to your replies and advice.
Have a magnificent day on PURPOSE!

@abooluqmaan Either online or local will work. As you noted, to use local you need the complete blockchain. You can get a headstart by downloading a zipped copy of the blockchain I update daily - you you'll have less than 24 hours worth of blocks to catch up on. It can be downloaded from http://db.burst-team.us . Unzip it into <your wallet>\burst_db
Online vs local mainly comes down to trust. Is the provider of the online wallet trustworthy (I think I am :-) ). The advantage of the online wallet (at least the one at http://wallet.burst-team.us ) is that it round-robins between 4 copies of the wallet, if one of the wallets goes down you can still get to one of the other copies, where as if your wallet goes down nothing works until you get it back up.

@haitch So let me ask you in your opinion is it then possible to run the online wallet from an Android tablet hooked up to an external hdd?
If you know, and anyone else reading this knows if this is possible.

@abooluqmaan I haven't tried, but I know that their are mining tools for Android, and the wallet is just a java app so I expect that it would work. Never tried it though.
