@tuvix2 It's a lottery - you may get lucky and forge a block with 359GB quickly or it might take you many months. The only thing you can be certain of is that if you double your capacity, you double your chances! This is one of the few pools that guarantee a payout of some Burst to the smallest miners - I think it's 2 per round - and there is no limit on the length of deadlines accepted.

@SlumperOP said in New to mining. Please help.:
BURST-584V-KTY4-ECGM-6T5PH
it will take you a very long time to forge a block with that amount of space. Have sent you some Burst to try a couple of pools. ATB, ATP

@MrWho Another suggestion for the beta: would it be possible to have our knicknames in both the current and all shares column? Neither are working at the moment.

@daWallet Nice, simple but classy looking site. Well done.

RE: Blocks XD - Pools Stats in one placeposted in Burst Projects & Crowdfundings
@zack your welcome. forget about the request for other games, something like 1-2 No Limit Holdem alone would be great. With Burst now on Bitsler and the attendant publicity, I think you could get plenty of players.

@zack Can't wait for the poker. Can't afford 1000 Burst, but sent you a 100 as a token of good will along with some good vibes.
You'll probably need a few of us online at the same time in the early days to play & test, I'd be happy to participate. I was hoping for NLH with blinds of 1-2 Burst & 5-10 for the high rollers. A limit holdem game might be worthwhile too. And then PLO & Stud, Hi & Hilo. That might be getting too greedy!

@vmantilla said in Unable to get mining info from wallet & tried to fix Jminer:
75000
Well I'll be damned that worked like a treat! I had already tried the refresh interval & connection timeout, so I'm assuming adding optDevPool=false was the trick.
Where did you find that golden nugget & any idea what it does?!
Many thanks,

Unable to get mining info from wallet & tried to fix Jminerposted in Mining & Plotting
@ Luxe hello sorry to bother you with this. A few days ago I started getting the error message: b.j.c.n.t.NetworkRequestMiningInfoTask : Unable to get mining info from wallet, repeatedly. The same version of Jminer 0.4.10 had previously worked fine.
I am using a GeForce GTX 660 Ti & Open CL is fine, reward recipient is set correctly (Blago miner is working).
I have read the other threads here on this problem and tried all suggested solutions, including: removing the port number from my pool server, removing the wallet server and trying other wallet servers, increasing the connection timeout - individually and altogether - all failed to remove the error. Have checked with pool owner that all OK his end. Here's my config file details at present:plotPaths=B/:Burst/Plots,C:/Burst/Plots,D:/Burst/Plots,F:/Burst/Plots,I:/Burst/Plots,J:/Burst/Plots,K:/Burst/Plots,L:/Burst/Plots

RE: Waste of space?posted in General Discussion
@daWallet Well argued. FWIW my 5 day experiment with Storj is at an end - they only ever filled up 50mb worth of space & the (very poor) software deactivated drives without my intervention. So I'm returning 12TB to the Burst network - of course I was stupid enough to reformat the drives and now have to re-plot them. Live & learn.
As for the proposed BBC Click story, thanks for all the PMs I got - mostly requesting that the Nation / Team aggro be left out of it. I did so & offered a piece based on Burst's technical innovations alone. They told me it was too inconsequential an idea at present, but would keep Burst on their radar. You can express your desire to see a Burst story by tweeting to @BBCClick or leave a message on their facebook page, but space them out over time or they will think it's an attempt to pump the coin!
My own enthusiasm for Burst is re-invigorated so thanks to all folk here who put in their 2 cents worth.
ATB, AtP

RE: Waste of space?posted in General Discussion
@haitch 'I don't see any devaluing of BTC in the immediate future.'
you're preaching to the converted ;) Any thoughts on other possible usages of Burst space? -
RE: Waste of space?posted in General Discussion
Good points, well made Haitch. STORJ is currently using 40mb of the 18TB I allocated it & I didn't know they paid on usage and not allocation. However I have only been online with them for 48 hours & their network is in it's infancy - so I will give them some time to prove themselves. Do you think using our space for anything besides DLs is impractical?
I have a great deal of respect for your opinions (and asset!) so I take your remarks with due gravity.
Other's have contacted me privately to ask me to leave Adam out of it, and if the piece is commissioned on it's technical merits I would so. But the journalistic integrity drummed into me by the BBC cannot ignore this ingredient in the story, and he is very watchable in action. Having said that I am a miner of and an investor in Burst & have the interests of it's community at heart. In which case I may not be impartial enough to do the story. But any journo I handed it over to would have to made aware of all the issues. Also bear in mind that the prevailing view in Britain is that Bitcoin is a bubble & we have other things to worry about, so I would honestly say the story has a 50/50 chance of airing.

Waste of space?posted in General Discussion
I'm developing a bit of a conscience about dedicating HDs to issuing Burst deadlines. Burst is touted as a 'green' coin, but it makes HDs useless for any other use and so is hardly ecological. This issue became relevant to me after acquiring some 6TB WD drives from eBay for £75 - a sweet deal (thanks Pacifica). I've decided to use them for STORJ instead of Burst, giving them a more meaningful existence and one that will also reward me with crypto.
TBH this IMO is a flaw with Burst - could we develop a way of combining proof of capacity with giving the drives something useful to do. I'm no quant so this may be technically unfeasible, but could an algo produce deadlines based on the kinds on shards of data that STORJ disseminates to give the Burst ecosystem a useful purpose?
Which leads me to a question. I'm trying to persuade my ex employer (The BBC, our national broadcaster here in the UK) which has a tech show called Click to do a story on Burst. They also have World Service TV & radio that reaches an estimated 350 million. I'm intrigued by the Wiki Burst page which states that the founding developer is unknown, which obviously gives the story some sale-ability because of the similarity to Satoshi & BTC. If anybody can link me to more info on this or is willing to discuss the matter privately please PM me. If you wish to remain anonymous I can assure you that will be so. If the story is commissioned I don't see how I can avoid discussing the rift between team & nation, and I think Adam will be have to be consulted because, love or hate him - he seems to be the primary marketeer of Burst.

Local wallet issueposted in Help & Support
When I clicked Local wallet it used to say something like 'will take a while to load' but it never did. So I used 'clean up DB' and downloaded a new blockchain. Now when I click local wallet I get a blank white page.
I'm keen to transition from online to local wallet for security, any help much appreciated. I'm using 0.3.9 client for 1.2.8 wallet on Win10.

@MrWho One last thing, a link converting shares to potential earned Burst would be useful for new miners, but I bet that's hard to implement so don't let it delay you getting this up!

RE: Join us BurstNeon (http://burstneon.ddns.net)posted in Pool Announcements
@MrWho I've been using the beta for the last couple of days and I love it - I think it freezes less often on Windows chrome than the current one! Having all the center columns white background looks great. The distribution charts are fun.
Only thing is the update log no longer shows this thread in a mini browser, which was cool.
Small suggestion: shorten the link 'Miner Assets on Pool' to 'Pool Miner Assets'
Put it live! And congrats on a record number of miners, it's no wonder word is getting round that we are the best pool.
Thanks for all your hard work.
