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

[mmmaybe]

Hey uray,

I think you have some serious bugs on (at least) the SG pool.

Regularly, submitted and confirmed deadlines aren't accounted for. Every now and then the pool kinda resets after a few seconds into a new block, and the registered deadlines disappear.

More over, when this happens later submitted and confirmed deadlines in the miner doesn't show up on the pool. This results in the form of "9999999+" as a deadline, when I in fact have much lower deadlines confirm (not just submitted) in the miner. This is very weird, especially when I rarely have deadlines over a day.

When writing this I have nine "9999999+" out of the displayed 14 last deadlines at this pool..

I don't know, but I believe SG has found less blocks today than normal. If so, the above might be the cause.

Also, I had a pending balance/payout of ~2000. That one simply disappeared, not showing up in the payout list or in my wallet. Don't know why.

I suggest that you go back to R2 until you figured this out. If we in fact find less blocks than we should, it will have big impact on earnings. Until improvement I've to change pool.

Regards

can we see config/bat?

blago, any plans to update your miner for dev's poolV2 to submit all deadlines below 200k? I'll send you a nice donation if you do it

Yes, i'm change the algorithm, but yet not tested the miner...

More plots but lower earnings.

I've recently dug out some older smaller drives and plotted them and then started mining with the uray's pool miner
but the burst earnings dramatically decrease after adding the new plotted drives, any ideas on the problem?

The miner just seems to work best with a single plotted drive, it's also eating up about 7GB of ram.

i'm mining on http://cryptomining.farm/ after a lot of uray's V2 pool up & down.
my gain in the last hours are going down...
and i do not understand why..

a week ago i gain 1500 burts average day more..

and i see who difficulty is the same!!!

Hi!

Introducing simple hazard game called:
GUESS SCOOP WIN BURST
(I was never good in naming things :-) )

See description of BURST-4BET-7D3W-ZMWX-D3W4J account.

Its about guessing the scoop number of every 5th block (blocks 37570, 37575, 37580,...) and its provably fair*.

Bet: 10 BURST
How to: Send 10 burst to address above (alias "scoopwin10" ) with unencrypted message containing number you guessing.

Your transaction must be in the block xxxx0-xxxx4 to be rewarded from the block xxxx5
(or xxxx5-xxxx9 to be rewarded from the block xxxx10)

Who guessed the closest number wins!

The guessing range is 0 to 4095 (if higher, its X mod 4096 )
Guessing range is "circle" - distance 4095 and 0 is 1

Invalid transactions (wrong amount of burst, no message, no number, encrypted message) are sent back (if amount is higher than 2 burst)

If there is only one guess in the round, there is postponed to next round.

Currently running "beta" before start with higher bets.

Bugreports, suggestions (and donations) at BURST-4WYN-ZUTY-EE89-9ZYP2

Fee is 0.5%

_____________
*
generation signature is shabal256(lastblock.generationsignate concat lastblock.miner)
scoop is chosen with shabal256(generationsignature concat blockheight) modulous 4096
number you guessing is choosen by you an you can check numbers of all other players (because are unencrypted)

For block 4 you know scoop of block 5, but your transaction will be included in block 5 ... and transaction included in the block 5 is heading to the scoop in block 10.

Interesting concept and every bit of activity around Burst can be of help.

Risking 10 Burst isnt too big of a deal, however the structure of the game does involve trust as you need to send the Burst back to the winners. Unless youre running a long con I guess we're ok

Thanks for this kind words.
I am not sure, if there is possibility how to do without sending burst to 3rd party. Even the original Satoshi Dice was based on sending BTC somewhere...

But, before sending Burst, you can check ( http://burstcoin.eu/address/13261835548395382169 ), if the game is still fair.
Currently there is one bet waiting for the "challenger" :-) And before it there were two transactions with guesses
1212 and 868 and the scoop was 3512

The 868 is closer to 3512 (over the zero, don't forget, its circle) and won.

About "long con" - only coins I can "stole" are from the current round - last 5 blocks. Not worth stealing.
From long run point of view, I will have income from fee (hopefully).

Don't be afraid of my honesty but my coding skill! :-D I hope I caught all bugs, but no one ever knows.

In order to give a pool a fair chance, you've gotta mine there for at least a full day or two, sometimes more.

That being said, if you don't like that pool you can come check out http://burst.ga

We've been rock solid and hitting blocks all the time.

Well I feel I have a couple of points to make:

1. I really like the concept, it is nicely thought out and unique to BURST
2. I do not believe you'd get enough BURST in on a single round of betting to make it worth your while to steal them and run
3. Until a completely decentralized trustless market is in place somewhere, I am not sure how we can avoid sending of coins to you, so don't sweat it

All in all, I think your game is worth including in useful links on the site

Il little question:

today mining in solo i forged a block with 700,000 (700 thousands) coins but i received only 8600 burst. The others where goes?
I see that all coins in the block are sent to the BURST-5NVZ-GXHA-N3S9-DGZBA account. Why?
Who is the owner of that account?

Thanks

Are you part of a pool?  I suspect it went to the pool.

I've been curious, I know the basic idea but how do pools work from a technical angle?

What usefull thing is done with all the disk space that we use for mining this coin?

Serious?

http://burstcoin.eu/block/15973007144300177693
The 700k are the signed transactions by the Block (not related to you) ... you received the 'Block Revard' + 'Transaction Fees' ... everything is fine.

No, i'm not in a pool.
I'm mining in solo and in the wallet i set the reward assignment to my account id so theorically i'm not part of any pool.
I see that balance of this account is 10 millions of coins.

Your question was answered before, when you mine a block you get the block reward, not the coins whose transactions are in that block. The transaction was imo a transaction to an exchange account, hence the 10 mil balance

I stand corrected, I thought it might be one of the smaller exchanges.
