I think I will stop the Surfbar until payment is received. Not a protest but a small concern of resources.

RE: Is the http://pool.burts-team.us pool down?posted in Help & Support
I've been mining the pool for more than 6 months with little problem. I noted a couple of things this morning that one being that one of my drives was off, so I rebooted my system. After the reboot, I reconnected back into the pool but my pooling activity did not start. It's still off as of now. I then try to visit the site and it shows as

@Njcfamily31907 I know, but it would not allow me to edit it for some reason. By the way, just select your link and see for yourself.

I can't access the site nor seeing any mining being done for a while, is there an issue? Thanks.

RE: HOW DO I READ THISposted in Help & Support
@luxe I am so lost here. I have listened to this video several times and I'm still missing something.
As I understand this, apparently I had the fastest time in the block, then all the miners came in some period of time. I then enter into this 2% Fee area with a corresponding Block number after a new block is formed.
Here they talk about 60/40 splits OF WHAT? Am I suppose to rewarded for something here? If so, what?
Thanks, and I apologize but the links are not helping me here.

HOW DO I READ THISposted in Help & Support
How do I read this? *
I'm TonyMarq, (299090) what is this suppose to mean? I though it represents winning a block or does it mean something else entirely?
Thanks.

RE: POOLS & Killing Interestposted in General Discussion
@CryptoNick Thank you Nick, but maybe I need to elaborate a little more, I'm really not missing the point, I get that. However, my two concerns are 1) turning off potential new users that enter the Burstcoin mining process, and 2) how "solo miners/large capacity HD miners are weakening that effort.
I'm not at all concern about the volume of activities, just how specific accounts collects a large number of wins and leaves an uncomfortable imprint on newcomers, like myself. ( I have noted in the forum before recommendations were made to enter smaller pools based on HD mining capacity)
Trading, on the otherhand, is an experienced process which I don't recommend for new miners unless they have trading experience, which I doubt that some existing miners understand.
The point is that I do agree with you, that we need to grow the mining base to increase the value of the Burst, but I feel that in order to do that we must encourage the newbies or it will be a tough climb, especially in what's becoming a highly competitive process. Thank for the input.

@Burstde Aren't you just proving my point?

RE: POOLS & Killing Interestposted in General Discussion
@daWallet I'm not too concern with larger miners in the pool, I'm concern with larger miners winning most of the pools. In recent weeks, I have seen winners take the block and first place at the same time. Is that normal?
If normal, then theoretically, one can come into the pool with 200TB of plotted space and supported by a very fast graphic card and pretty much wipe out several layers of pool winnings at once. I understand it's just one pool and there are others, but all of them have the same built-in issue, the pools will eventually be controlled by the significant few who have the power to run them while driving out the competition. Thanks for the input.

RE: POOLS & Killing Interestposted in General Discussion
@haitch I'm not arguing the numbers, I expressing an observation that I see on the block by block activities within one pool. if I just look at the Historic Share allocation, which I presume is based on the individual owners (there's no assignment to show what color represents one owner), approx 40% hold the balance of the pool winnings. I get the system, but I'm just trying to see what direction it's going.

RE: POOLS & Killing Interestposted in General Discussion
@IceBurst I understand that and I also understand that bitcoin now has approx. 18 centralize mining centers controlling what was once many. Is that direction this is heading? What you're telling me is that many it would be wiser for me to just purchase the Burst instead of "hustling" for a few coins via a system, which brings me back to the question, "why mine"if it will eventually be removed from distributed controls. Thanks for your input.

POOLS & Killing Interestposted in General Discussion
I've been mining for over a month now and see a disturbing trend arising from miners with higher TB drive capacity. Most are consistently winning or taking a larger share of the Blocks while leaving little to the smaller miners to win.
Aside from being a major turn-off, (I ask myself "why compete?"), I also see the potential of losing this process to larger and larger TB drive sources.
I understand the equipment investment made by some to increase their mining capacity opportunities, but if it starts limiting the opportunities of the smaller miners (i.e. me), then I see this process losing ground and becoming just another control process that will eventually be taken over by the few and the powerful. Given the nature of this business, I'm not sure this will be a good direction for Brust.
