I think agree to disagree is great here, if you guys want to argue with someone, find some big bankers and argue that our platforms, whether PoC or PoS or whatever it may be, beats the current systems in place by a whole freakin' lot, THAT is where we should put our argument focus.

Here, we're in CRYPTO, no matter the coin you choose, we're TOGETHER in this 'fight' against the antiquated systems we have.

I'm VERY happy to see you here DMD man, and I look forward to working with you in the future, and any other crypto leaders who would like to support each other. THIS is how things should be, and THIS is what I will continue to promote.

It shouldn't be coin vs coin, or style vs style, it should be US vs THEM, showing the regular people the better way to do things, and collaborating wherever possible. THIS is what will bring us into the mainstream and away from the systems we know for SURE are not working. The current ones.

So let us not squabble over which amazing tech is the best, and instead point our focus on the future, and how we will WORK TOGETHER to accomplish COMMON GOALS with coins that are COMMON IN INTEREST AND FAIRNESS.

WELCOME TO THE BURST COMMUNITY, DMD LEADER. WE'RE HAPPY AS HELL TO HAVE YOU!


(this is what TurnOff meant to say, right? )

Thanks crow, and sry 


Of course, cryptonit, welcome here!  Sorry about the, I assume, perceived hostility; I've had a shitty day and it was fun arguing with someone who could think. My co-workers irl always say my e-mails come off as angry when it's some sort of weird way of showing respect. That's one of many reasons I should never have an official role at work nor in the crypto-world.

I hope this encounter will not color your impression of BURST as such; if you get a bad impression of me, it's just me. Also, since the new OP, things have been fine here without all the trolls. Let's say if you launch a combined PoS/PoC coin, I'll mine it (even if I'd vote for a clone of BURST with a slower emission rate!) 

seems i found like 3,5 tb empty hdd capacities now lets give this a  try

i like that all the tools are added already to the win wallet

but as i understand its not the full and best selection of tools

example a GPU plotter missing

beside that i think yes thats the right path make a toolbox attached to the GUI wallet
make stuff as easy as possible for people

as said before buy HDD to mine make no sense buy coins is better

but utilize unused space why not

long term path to success can be only services and apps which utilize BURST chain
but as i understand ur team know that and working on it

over all even now after spend a bit more time with BURST i think it cold establish well

i think all know the website is a very weak point
same as all the gathered guides and tipps and tricks
when lot are outdated and have broken links and so on

and the first post on this ANN is also ina unreadable state missing pictures and not ideal structured

as always just constructive feedback

i dont have to tell ya whats great u know that urself
so i tell ya what is not so great even if i guess u know that urself too

Slowed that one down.

1. Will it increase read speeds for miners?  - Yes
2. Find lower deadlines? - No

optimizer - changes structure of plot

for example, miner must read scoop #1 (blue arrows)
so, if plot optimized, miner reads sequence from HDD, without long SEEKs



I have 2 plots (the same size) at same HDD :
17930413153828766298_69900000_1000000_4000  -  not optimized, reading time 3818 ms
17930413153828766298_64900000_1000000_1000000  -  optimized, reading time 2143 ms

Yes, Cryo's GPU plot generator https://github.com/bhamon/gpuPlotGenerator/releases
Buffered or direct writing support.

Thanks for the info, looks like I will be re-plotting for the third time... It's a pity that there is not a definitive guide on how to get the fastest plot, I had learnt that stagger size was important but had not reaslised that the GPU plot generator also produced an optimised plot?

I had tried GPU plot generator but in tests it did not seem faster than wplotgenertor so stuck with what I knew, also thought that with the relatively small amount of memory that a GPU has that would restrict stagger size?

So for interest comment before I re-plot the whole lot again I have 35TB of plots on 4TB & 5TB USB drives. There are typically 3 Plots on each drive using a stagger of 98304. They run through using jminer in 9 Seconds at the moment, this is with Radeon R9 290X although it's almost as fast using the built in GPU in the i7-4790K CPU.

So is it worth  doing optimised plots or is there a Windows re-plotter available, or is the gain going to be small?
