dcct tools for Android alphaTo demonstrate you a
Proof of Concept that Burst is so green that you can even mine it on your phone:
I ported plotting and mining tools (dcct_tools) to Android.
These screenshots are taken from my phone. It's not an emulator.
As you see my 'old' 2013 Xperia Z is plotting over 200 nonces/minute. Sometimes it jumped to 400 nonces/minute.
Phones of today have CPUs three times as fast! There was no overheating or other side-effects. Thermal policy seems to work perfectly.
Mining has almost no impact on CPU at all, but I have to test more - and get a bigger SD Card
I did this to show you that Burst is really Crypto 2.0 - it will run on future generation low power hardware everyone can afford. Phones, Tablets, Convertibles ...
Tomorrow I'll write a guide how to do it.
https://github.com/dawallet/burst_arm_tools Awesome work man! I can't wait to see what can be done with this... I'm already wondering... 8TB external drive, attached to a phone through a usb adapter... haha. Ultra green burst miner. Just plot with a computer.
Mining with mobile phone will make a great headline for Burst. I bet it will be the first to do it. We might even get major news site to publish this news. It will make excellent PR for Burst.
Awesome work
But it also highlights the lack of strategic promotional planning. Not only should a Press Release be published as soon as possible and distributed to the crypto sites, but long term you need to establish relationships and keep in touch with a few writes and inform them what's going on. Of course they want to be first with a thing like this (even if buggy)
A guide is important but to work on getting the news out is, in this, phase much more significant.
Would the nxt comment be true, that is huge for a reporter. Just send the post to a few writers and let them do the work whether it's true or not.
Oh yea, you ARE aware that we DO accept help from the community, right? Also, that the 'team' is just a slightly more 'dedicated' group of community members. Just sayin'.
But yes, I was busy the last few days and this ninja launch for this droid miner has taken me as surprised as the rest, but fear not, for I will soon get with daWallet, and discuss key features, and there will be writeups, oh yes, there will be. xD
I'm also thinking though, some sort of Video promotion might be nice for this, So maybe I setup this miner on my phone, and 'go pro' with it?
(catch my fancy camera-reference?) But yea, do not fear all, the alpha release of this miner is ninja'd, but there will definitely be a non-lack of promotional stuffs in the near future in regards to this!
ALSO
To the one coming in here talking about SuperNET dropping NXT and interested in BURST, that IS what you said, isn't it? If it is, WE ARE DEFINITELY INTERESTED, and I just need some idea of who to get in contact with, and I'll reach out, for SURE!
