Burstnation & Network situation & Local Wallets
-
@tomahawkeer this SPAM causes forks in the network, so you ended up in mining in a fork for a while and you lost bloks because of this..
we are talking about this issue and try to find a solution ASAP
-
Yup I understand
-
Just my thoughts:
The burst infrastructure pools/wallets hardware is/was not prepared for massive increase of transactions per block due to the burstnation spam.
A wallet has to do work for every transaction, accessing database, updating data, calculate and check hashes etc.
If wallet hardware is on 100% load, it can stuck and not do all in time ... could get worse if one or two fast blocks happen ... wallets can not finish their work for current block fast enough and run into problems ... so we now know, on massively more transactions, we currently run into trouble and that needs to be fixed.
e.g. a pool wallet busy with transactions, may not be able to broadcast or accept the miners deadlines fast enough ...
I did not expect this to happen, but every person knowing this now and contain this spam anyway is kind of ddos'ing our network, using current weakness ... That is not only spam anymore but kind of a attack. If the idea behind this spam is promoting burstnation, that is probably the worst promotion ever ... lol.I also noticed that lot of the spam goes to exchange accounts, and cause a additional transaction there ... so if you experience problems in the network and pools, you all know who to thank for that ... the one that wishes us all a nice weekend! Kind of sarcasm i guess ...
@tomahawkeer No burstnation is not official whatever, it is just another webpage about burst ...

@luxe I've asked Crow why he and Adam are attacking the coin - had no response. This is no longer a spam campaign, it's a calculated attack on the coin.With the forks they're causing, their pool wins most of the chains when the wallets re-align. I'm starting to think everyone should blacklist ninja and BN's addresses.
-
@luxe would it help if more people would use there local wallet ?
-
@Daforce Maybe, if they start solo mining i guess (but it is never wrong to run a node) ... the pools and their wallets are kind of the burst network backbone ... if they have problems all parties suffer.
@haitch Thanks for contacting them ... i wrote the above for the case, that they just do not understand what they are currently doing ... however they are discrediting their self currently ... i do not think that blocking ip's can be a solution in a decentralized network ... it may cause additional problems i guess.
-
@luxe could it be possible to implement blocking an account? like the same way one blocks a phone number or someone on Facebook?
-
@vExact sure some kind of ignorelist with accounts that do not show up in gui would be possible, but you can not stop a account from sending you a message ....
-
Since this topic is back up, I have a questions - Could all these new people opening wallets and not knowing how to sync them be causing problems? I just hear sooo many complaints about sync problems that most of the time I just tell people to forget trying to run a local wallet and use the online one. Just curious about how all these un-synced local wallets could effect the network
-
@luxe so basically you can't stop on the blockchain a transaction to a given related account?
-
@k.coins I personally like more the pre-release of the AIO wallet than the last version. I find the sync part faster with it
https://github.com/dawallet/burstwindowswallet/releases/tag/0.3.9-rc2
I actually went back to using it...
-
@vExact thanks, and I agree. But... the question remains
-
@vExact said in Burstnation:
@luxe so basically you can't stop on the blockchain a transaction to a given related account?
There could be a transaction type, to store a ignorelist in blockchain, than a wallet could forbid to create/accept a transaction based on that data.
But spam account can easy be changed ... so ignorelist is always behind.
Just not display them would be better solution i guess.
-
@luxe not to mention this kind of ignore list might be used as a tool to fork a chain given you have big enough following who would block certain addresses. Tho i might be wrong about that one.

Well earlier this morning, my miner on .biz was over 300 deferred and waiting for a payment (was actually 384 coins). Well, now that deferred amount is gone and the transaction to my account never happened. Whether this was at the time of a fork or not its hard to tell, but I know for 100% I saw these numbers earlier and they never came through so I know for a FACT things are not working like they should at the bare minimum with the .biz pool or issues that are happening on the blockchain itself!
I tend to make about 100k BURST monthly from my miners, and at this pace, ill be nowhere near that!
-
On top of this, I was about to add another 16 TB to my main miner (this weekend) Now im seriously considering just selling the drives since they are currently brand new / unopened. With the way things are going, ill wind up abandoning the coin if this keeps up.
-
@tomahawkeer That was quick! Don't give up, mate. These are just small hickups compared to where Burst is going. Besides, not all pools are experiencing problems, I have been mining on Tross's pool just fine.
-
if we take your advice and no one runs a local wallet you end up with one or two nodes in the network, not good.
-
Ive been on biz for months without issues. Ever since this burstnation crap started, and in particular the past week or so, my results have taken a huge hit.
-
@tomahawkeer So did I when I invested in your asset, but that's just part of the game, we learn, improve our game plan and move on.
