Lovely bitchfest in here as per usual. Keep up the drama guys... That aside
Why does it always seem like when a new wallet version comes out, the block finding on the network always seems to get really wonky until everyone is on the same version. Since 1.2.3 it seems like my profits have went down significantly, the number of blocks I've found has also went down significantly (like 1/4 of what it was). It happened with the upgrade to 1.2.2 as well.
It seems to favor the older wallet as well.
yep. I've experienced same thing several times already.
After the 92000 fork I mined a fuck ton of blocks (still am) I'm guessing while everyone else is updating their wallet that hasn't.
There DEFINITELY is a correlation between wallet version and luck at finding blocks. It seems to favor older wallets. This week was a perfect example of that. Since the release of 1.2.3 I've been mining on a newer wallet, block find drops to nothing (about 25%), new wallet is enforced, everything is back to normal. I'm not sure what's causing this, but it's there and I'm sure other big miners can chime in on this (or keep exploiting it every time wallets update).
I am using Blago's miner and just hopped over to burst.ninja to try after being on the V2 pool for months. I have been noticing some of my "sent DL's" are not coming back as "confirmed DL's" . And they are usually the best deadlines that are not coming back confirmed. Randomly every few blocks this is happening and its not because of a quick block change as there is a fair amount of time after the last sent (minutes sometimes) before the next block begins.
Any thoughts?
I also use Blago in V2, I tried burst.ninja few times, I also had this problem.
V2 continues for now still be more profitable than burst.ninja at least for large miners
Yeah, I've tried a few pools... V2 seems to pay closest to what the calculator says and I'll take that over RNG any day. V2 definitely seems the way to go regardless of size, it's pretty spot on.
The whole blockchain takes ages to download and takes up a lot of space. Is there any way to skip it? I want to start mining, is it possible somehow?
Blockchain can be downloaded here:
http://burstcoin.info/download/Still think there should be a publicly available website/wallet with SSL and all the bells and whistles since all your account is is a password.
