[wooliesurf]

@daWallet I downloaded this from a link in a video by adam https://wallet.burst-team.us:8125/new... and then the info you sent. Is Blockchain a seperate download thats needed?

[gpedro]

@wooliesurf yes but usually the client do it but take a lot of time...

turn of the client (check in the tray...)

download it from here: http://db.burst-team.us/
1- extract it
2 - the files that are there copy to :
%appdata%\Roaming\BurstWallet\burst_db
and replace the existing files
3 - open the client and happy mining...

oh don't forget to register your reward assignment...

[wooliesurf]

@gpedro sorry to sound like a dingbat...I dont really understand what your meaning. You could say im computer iliterate dont really know what im doing. Just wanted to give this a try as it seemed pretty straight forward from a youtube video by Adam Guerbuez.

[wooliesurf]

@gpedro I appreciate your help.

[gpedro]

@wooliesurf ok sorry...have you downloaded the zip file from the link and extracted?
Close your wallet client in the tray close to the watch...
Then open your windows explorer and type on the address bar:

%appdata%\Roaming\BurstWallet\burst_db

and replace the files existing in this file for the files you get from the blockchain folder extracted

open the client and log in in the online wallet (the local one should take 10 or 20 minutes to be ready because is downloading the remain blockchain that is less than a day of network blocks)

then if you already have plotted your files, go to start mining on the top right corner of the window you see a cascate box that should have some pools, select one...

On the top left corner of the same window you have one button that says reward assignment, click there and should auto copy the pool address to your clipboard and you should past it in the recipient box and paste your passphrase on the passphrase box... wait 4 blocks that is around 16 minutes and start mining...

@gpedro Sorry mate I dont understand what extracting/ copying files and replacing the existing files....just goes right over my head....wouldnt have the faintist idea what your instructing me to do. who's the client? This is just more and more frustrating. nevermind.

[wooliesurf]

@gpedro cheers im typing and sending replies and its taking a while to go through...sorry bout that.

[gpedro]

@wooliesurf the client is the wallet program...
when you have a zip file that file is compressed and you need to extract it in order to use that files...
and then when i say to replace the exiting files in that folder i mean you to delete those files and copy the ones you have extracted from the zip folder to the folder
%appdata%\Roaming\BurstWallet\burst_db
i don't know to simplify... i think that you are being issues with the English if that is the case if you are Portuguese i can help you (just begin a chat with me) or you can use the multi languages sub forums to someone help on your language or you can use the google translator...

[wooliesurf]

@gpedro I appreciate your wanting to help...but I know nothing about computers/zip files/exisitng files/extracting files/folders.... you might aswell be just typing blah blah blah blah. I have no computer skills if i did i wouldnt ask for help. I speak english all my life. Because you have done this numerous times its easy for you.

[gpedro]

@wooliesurf no but giving up isn't the answer...

just take a look at youtube when you don't know how to do something that you think or other people say its pretty easy...
Here's a video of how to zip and unzip a file... take a look:

@wooliesurf

I hope I've fixed the bug you are having. Please download the latest version, install it again and try to plot:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/burstwindowswallet/files/Win32/Release/Burstcoin_Wallet_GUI_Setup_0.3.3.1.exe/download

[wooliesurf]

@daWallet Thankyou so much. I will get to setting up.

[wooliesurf]

@daWallet does this mean its plotting:-

[daWallet]

@wooliesurf The first bug you had is fixed. :)

No you are not plotting, you don't have enough free RAM available to start the plotting process...

Maybe it helps to close some programs that are running. Or better: Restart your machine and then close all programs you don't need ...
then try to plot again.

[wooliesurf]

@daWallet what if i got a 1TB external hard drive would that be better.

[wooliesurf]

@daWallet only reason i ask is that my laptop runs on that windows 10 and theres programs running that i have tried to turn off. So im just wondering if i got one of those 1TB USB3 Portable Hard Drive if that would help.

[wooliesurf]

@daWallet If i got a 1TB USB3 Portable Hard Drive then repeated the process with that drive would it then be able to start mining? Just wanting to clarify.

[Zeus]

This problem is not about your hard drive, it's because your "memory" on your pc is full, so the best you can do is try to close some programs, or even better restart your computer and start the plotting before anything else.

So to answer your question @wooliesurf , the problem can still occur if you use it with an external hard drive.

Hope it helps :)

[wooliesurf]

@Zeus cheers for the reply. I tried restart and plotting with no other programs running and same thing happened. Will get my memory sorted both on the pc and between me ears. Awesome support here,much appreciated @daWallet ,@Zeus ,@gpedro .Thanks for your advice and help. ova

@wooliesurf
I've changed some parameters in the software.
Can you Download, install and test it again?

https://sourceforge.net/projects/burstwindowswallet/files/Win32/Release/Burstcoin_Wallet_GUI_Setup_0.3.3.1.exe/download

I don't have a 32 Bit system here and it is difficult to test it fully myself.
Hope it works now.
