[ANN][BURST] Burst | Efficient HDD Mining | New 1.2.3 Fork block 92000

[jackserippl]

Hi there

I am mining Burst again after 1 year off.
I have read some posts here to check out what I missed last year.
So I got some questions

Burst seems to be at the same problems as past year. (Too few people know it, set up is to difficult for normal users, ...)
Also saw that many faucets are empty, many websites not working many Pools are offline, ...

Could anyone tell me what happened and what would be good for bust to come up?
I have some effort to do something for burst.

Also would be glad if anybody knows how to clone burst just for learning.

greetings

Burst was doing well (nearly 1000 satoshi/ burst), then it was DDOS attacked. Time will tell if it recovers, in the mean time i've just started mining again https://burst.cryptoguru.org/

I was getting regular burst dividends from a couple burst assets, they haven't been paying lately though.

Was the Burst network itself DDOSed or was it just the website and the web wallet?

I also want to know how far in development is Proof of Capacity in concern with security and its efficiency? And are there more developments coming? Ty.

[Gekkoo]

I'd like to know if I can work with you and what I need to do to rent my spaces? There are many and I'm not using it! Do I need to get some Burstcoin? Being practical, what is the current profitability?

[powergecko]

Can anyone tell me where the wallet.dat file is located, as i need to reinstall the Burst Core, as its not responding ?

 The only thing you really need is the "12 word phrase".

The network was SPAM attacked: it was flooded with transactions that caused stable nodes to run out of memory and drop, causing the chain to fork. As well, a number of pools/forums were DDOSd.  All is well now though (1 chain, forums and pools online).

You mean rent your spare drive space? Burst doesn't have this functionality. You're thinking of Sia.  In Burst, all you can do with your drive space is mine with it.

Burst wallet doesn't work like that.  Your password is your sole and singular tie to your wallet. Knowing your password, you can access your wallet from any computer, anywhere in the world.  So, you don't need to do anything; just make sure your have a strong pw, and it's backed up sufficiently.

 BURST still seems to be getting DDOS attacks on a lot of it's infrastructure, and many pools have never come back (I have yet to see Haitch bring back ANY of his pools, for example) and the ones that HAVE come back have at least intermittent issues with "can't confirm deadlines in a timely way" that appear to be related to this issue.
 The "spam attack" does seem to be over and dealt with.

 SIA and MAID are the "rent hard drive space" coins - though there is an ASIC announced for SIA, no idea how THAT is supposes to work.

Ahh thats why so many links are dead. Now there is some light in the dark. What should anyone have out of attack with DDOS?
So would it be cool if I start a BurstWebsite and a pool?

I downloaded the Blockchain again because of errors, but now i am getting this error...
Your local wallet hasn't started yet. It can take up to 10 minutes to start up. Try it again later.


Please check that you have Java installed!
Download Java here: https://www.java.com/download/
and then restart the Burst Client.

If your local wallet doesn't start at all you can clean up the database.
Go to "Help" -> "Clean up DB".

Debug: Start run_save_mode.bat in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\BurstWallet to see the command line to find the problem.
Your local wallet hasn't started yet. It can take up to 10 minutes to start up. Try it again later.

I also get this when clicking on the online version,

 Navigation to the webpage was canceled
   
   What you can try:

This is usal way! Please be patient and wait for the complete start of the wallet a couple of minutes. You can recheck by clicking "Local wallet" from time to time until you got the Login screen.

That sounds really bad for project that aims to be used as a currency. What did the developers do fix the fork? Did they roll back the blockchain to kill the fork?

Will the same spam attack work and fork Burst again?

Can't login Burst Team US forum, it says "invalid-login-credentials", also password reset thingy doesn't work, the reset email never arrive.

I know his 0-100 pool is up. As a general rule though: a number of pools/resources are under intermittent attack. The BN piece of the community very much so has the "if you're not with us, you're against us" mentality, so most people believe they're behind the attacks (as their infrastructure is rarely attacked).

In Sia, renting out disc space and mining the Sia coin are separate tasks. It uses PoW, and simply has the feature that you can use the token to rent/buy drive space. ASICS will simply mean a shift of hardware for miners.

Whenever a fork(s) occurs, the smaller fork gets dropped when they converge again. This happens automatically, with no dev input needed. I'm pretty sure this is how most chains work. In Ethereum, those blocks are called uncles I believe...

Yes, a new version was pumped out to fix the vulnerability.  Release notes aren't detailed, but it improves the unconfirmed tx queue such that full nodes (or even regular clients) won't be shut down if the network gets stressed.

[alzander]

IncludeBeer explained it best. In short though, a user sent 3000+ (tough to get actual details) max sized messages all at once. That basically caused every node to have to chug to process those messages and they all got out of sync causing a few forks.

So, it wasn't something like a 51% attack where false info was added to the blockchain, but it uncovered a severe vulnerability for stopping burst from working in general.

Things are back on track, but there was a dip in Burst price that seems to be recovering.
