Premine brings confidence, so many coins struggle because devs lack money after a while

The former burstcoin community website & documentation project website has been updated for the Signum rebrand and has moved to https://signum.community with new material and resources.

Where do you read something about an update before the 24th?


No there is no need to re plot all your discs If you have previously mined Signum, you can still use your existing plot files (POC2)


I'm still using latest qbundle 2.5.3 too and for an update it is only nessecary to replace burst.exe, burst.jar, and the html folder in your previous wallet directory


Does there exist any newer mining software?

Hmmm ok didn't found this on my research
So why not give it a try with the latest release of the signum miner ? https://github.com/signum-network/signum-miner/releases
Sorry I can't test myself because I have stopped mining burst some years ago.

Same here

I'd advocate for a renaming of the thread due to the rebranding to Signum, if the OP is still around*, or alternatively starting a new thread. It's really becoming difficult to find content about this coin in Bitcointalk ... and that may have to do with the low attention it's getting here. (I think however the rebranding is positive, as the old name was quite bad.)

Or is there another thread about Burst/Signum development and I don't find it? I have searched the word "Signum" with Google in Bitcointalk, but there seems to be no matching thread title (only threads about a firm called "Signum Capital" which seems unrelated to this coin). So if there is one I'd be grateful for a link.

Being a decentralized coin without premine Signum could be a bit bolder, taking into account the current "securities discussion" (which should affect competitor Chia too due to its more centralized structure)


*according to the forum stats the account "BurstDevTeam" was active the last time in October 2022. So it's unlikely but not impossible ...

Do you know if the Burst Marketing Fund still is entirely community-funded, i.e. by the "Burst 50/50 pool" and donations? Or has a hardcoded fee been included, like so many coins did ("the easy way") sacrificing decentralization on the way ...

Yep, me too, and not only because of this altcoin game in the german subforum! I have mainly two reasons why I think Signum is interesting:

1) it's one of the few historic coins which did something really new in the consensus algorithm field (together with PPC)
2) it was one of the few turing complete smart contract platforms which were not premined, i.e. are community-driven and decentralized from the start. That's also the reason why I asked about the reward ...

I've however still some doubts about it ... first, its NXT codebase may not be exactly the best of the market, and second, there were some strange projects in the past, probably from other development teams (remember "Dymaxion"?). At least according to the blog, the current team is however working regularly on it and releasing new features, so at least in the short term many indicators look well taking into account it's a small altcoin. Of course, the node issue has to be observed.
