Most Efficient Way To Mine BURST

Hey folks, I am new to Burstcoin and Mining and i consider to invest 10.000€ for mining Bursts. Is it better to invest it directly in Burst or to invest in mining? I calculated on 'site/calculator' and if i am not mistaken the ROI would be in 4-5 months. But i still have no idea how to do it.

Which is the best HDD? Is it only important how much space the HDD has got? Can i handle all HDDs on only one computer?

How much electricity requires a single HDD? Is there a halving as with Bitcoin? Thank you for reading and have a nice day! New Litecoin LTC Miner.

PS: i heard the news about bitsler adding burstcoin. PPS: i a from Germany, sorry for my bad English guys.

10,000 Euro will buy you 1,317,022.00 Burst, at current prices. This is much more than you could hope to mine in a very, very long time - possibly not ever.

How To Mine BURST Coin. Jackmanmania (59. Minute time frame that even the most cost efficient ASIC cannot mine efficiently enough to. Start mining by following. Feb 19, 2013 In this episode of Minecraft 101 I talk a bit about the most efficient mining system in my opinion. Jun 26, 2016 How to Plot A Hard Drive For Mining BurstCoin or Burst coin FXAlTareeq. Which is the most efficient and GREEN way (less energy) to mine any Altcoin today. Sep 28, 2017 - Even if a miner controls more than 50% of the network, it is still in his best interest to protect it as a source of mining revenue. This system is very efficient. It works as intended, and it has done so for several years in the case of Bitcoin. However, it is an extremely wasteful system. Millions of dollars worth of.

Consider that there are only about ~16.5% of Burstcoins that remain unmined, and that network size (same as difficulty in the bitcoin world) has exploded in the last few months:. If you have that much money to spend to buy Burst directly, mining makes sense only if you already have a large amount of unused HD's lying about. Speed of the hard drives does not matter much at all.

Mining Ethereum can be done in a variety of ways. How to choose a GPU to mine Ether with? Or the graphics card that is the most power efficient.

I will be purchasing 5TB external drives. EBay and Amazon will usually have them around $100/each if you look around for a couple of days. Hooking these up to a fast computer with good cpu and gpu will definitely help with mining faster. Also, consider having a faster internet connection if available. The more bandwidth the better it seems to me.

I'm going to hook up 50TB ($1000) to one computer (which costs $700) first and check out the scene. If the first month goes well, I will add an additional 200TB. Splitting a total of 250Tb between two computers if possible.

When I'm not exploring fresh caves or lands in minecraft, I'm busy trying to find deposits of diamond, gold and iron deep in the earth. So far I've just been digging around just above bedrock on a whim to look for these rare minerals but I've started thinking that I should be taking a more controlled, efficient approach to mining.

What is the optimal mining strategy that yields the most rare minerals while minimizing blocks removed and time spent digging and traveling? Edit: The existing answers are great for mining, but no one has addressed travel time to and from the mine which is usually ~60 blocks downward and incredibly tedious.

Mining Branch mining is the most efficient. Someone did a on it in the official forums (the link is to an archive of the post). Here's a brief description of branch mining: You dig down to the bedrock, because that's where you're going to find the most different kinds of stuff.

One or two layers above the bedrock, so you don't have it interfering with your work, you dig a long tunnel, 2 high and 1 wide, which will serve as the trunk. Then, every 4 squares on either side of the trunk, you dig perpendicular tunnels extending out 20 blocks (or as far as you want). You leave 3 undug blocks between because veins are generally 2x2 horizontally, so you will see ore in the vein even though there is technically one row of unexplored blocks. When you finish that layer, you can start one a layer above, offsetting the branches by one block so that you are more likely to find veins you could possibly have missed the first time. So essentially, a long hallway (the trunk) with perpendicular hallways (the branches) coming off either side. ██▒▒▒▒▒▒ ██ blocks you should mine ██▒▒▒▒▒▒ ▒▒ blocks you can see ▒▒▒▒██▒▒ __ blocks you can't see if you don't mine ▒▒ blocks (there's none!) ▒▒▒▒██▒▒ Repeat this pattern as many times as needed From a head on view Travel As with any mine, travel is most easily accomplished using minecarts.

You can place a to get your cart traveling at max speed in a short distance so that you can make the trip up quickly, and you can even attach chests to mine carts to carry all your findings from the mine up the track very quickly. Short of minecarts, make sure you're using stairs and ladders to their fullest potential. You don't want to be jumping up one block at a time all the way from your mine to your base. There is a with some number crunching. I use this in single player: ▒▒██▒▒__▒▒__ ██ blocks you should mine ▒▒██▒▒__▒▒__ ▒▒ blocks you can see __▒▒__▒▒██▒▒ __ blocks you can't see if you don't mine ▒▒ blocks __▒▒__▒▒██▒▒ Repeat this pattern as many times as needed Normally, I have a 2x1 trunk, and branches like a standard branch mine, but instead of just going outwards from the trunk, I go up one level and out, skip two blocks, then down one level and out.

I leave two blocks between branches. And I leave two blocks between floors, and line up the branches the same between floors. There are some areas left unexplored by this pattern, but they are thin, and it is unlikely that a diamond vein with spawn entirely within that narrow region. (About 3% will). The larger number of blocks uncovered are far more likely to contain diamonds. If your high density branch mine gets you 100% diamonds, the low density branch mine would give you 212.6% ores in the same time, minus 3% from the earlier probability worked out before. Also, you ought to build it so that the floor of the lowest tunnel is on level 11, to avoid falling in lava.

If you find that there are few cave systems near your mine, feel free to dig lower, but caves tend to cluster, and caves level 10 and below are filled with lava. I dig my main tunnel on both sides of the area I want to cover, then dig back and forth in a zigzag patten, which means I'm always digging, never walking.

I'm not sure if this is true anymore, but it used to be that larger deposits were formed by the word generator in multiplayer, so you were less likely to miss diamond deposits when using a wider mining pattern. Thus, this pattern ▒▒██▒▒____▒▒____ ██ blocks you should mine ▒▒██▒▒____▒▒____ ▒▒ blocks you can see __▒▒____▒▒██▒▒__ __ blocks you can't see if you don't mine ▒▒ blocks __▒▒____▒▒██▒▒__ Repeat this pattern as many times as needed is more efficient.

As for transit? I use a long two wide straight staircase that goes all the way to bedrock. Minecarts work well for getting me deep into the mine. If you're not married to building a completly man made mine, the answer is find a deep tunnel.

Getting down to the bottom is correct, as that is where the highest concentration of useful minerals is located, but digging a tunnel doesn't expose you to nearly the same amount of blocks as using a generated cave system. In my primary game I dug a mine down to the bottom clearing out a large amount of stone, which only resulted in some coal, and very few iron, where as at the bottom I discovered a cave network (filled with lava, but some water solved that), which resulted in a large amount of coal and iron, as well as diamond and gold.

Just dig 2 high in one direction for a very long time, say around an hour. It's not like you'll run out of map.

Then move 3 or four along once you've used half of your axe/s, and go back to where you started. This will yield more in terms of ore versus time, as you are not mucking around walking between shafts and veins, and are spending almost all the time mining. Bring with you a diamond pick axe, and a shovel, since dirt and gravel still spawn underground. Use the cobblestone you will inevitably mine for traversing lava pools, and make sure you have torches (place them every 10 or so blocks).

This is faster only for the first few mining sessions. After you mine for long time, you quickly get to a place where you have to run for a very long time to get to new area to mine.

The methods described above take a little more planning but in the long term they do seem a lot more productive (just based on my own experience of doing it both ways). To be fair though, it does depend on what you want. Doing this simpler way will probably get you a couple stacks of diamonds before you've used up all the mining area near your base, which is plenty if you only want picks/swords. – Nov 15 '11 at 18:43 •. I've found that no matter which mining pattern I used I my diamond finds were barely enough to keep me in diamond pickaxes for mining diamonds. It was a vicious circle. I've started mining with TNT now and it's much faster.

Here's how I do it: I use the branch mining technique. For a branch off the trunk I'll use 64 TNT and 32 torches. I'll dig a 2-high tunnel off the trunk, placing a torch every 10 blocks in. When I run out of torches I know I'm 320 blocks away from the trunk. Now I'll place a block of cobblestone on the ground at the very end with a block of TNT on top. Then I back up while placing cobblestone on the ground only, putting a block of TNT on top of every 5th cobblestone block so there are 4 empty spaces between TNT blocks. When I get back to the trunk I set off the TNT and then run along behind the blast placing torches on the wall as I go.

When I get to the end I walk back to the trunk mining whatever I see along the way and picking up anything on the ground. Each trunk takes me about 30 minutes to dig, blast and mine. I use only a fraction of a diamond pickaxe in the process. I've been mining 12-13 levels up from the bottom and getting 15-20 diamonds per trunk.

The most tedious part is collecting the sand to make the TNT. I have a mob trap that I use to collect the gunpowder at night.

Give it a shot and see what you think, it's working well for me. I have mine cart tack with periodic boosters running along my trunk line to get me back and forth to my storage area quickly. All of the previous answers focus on minimizing blocks mined. However, if you're interested in minimizing time, there is a vastly faster late game strategy than anything discussed above. The approach, is to use a Diamond pickax, enchanted with Level 5 efficiency, and a Haste level II Beacon.

With this setup, you mine stone instantaneously and can clear cut vast swaths of stone in very little time, exposing significantly more blocks / minute than with branch mining. Ethos discusses this in one of his videos. I've dug straight down to bedrock as well and at the bottom carved out a 40 long by 20 wide room 4 high.

This netted me a full stack of redstone, lots of lava. 2 diamond, lots of coal, almost no iron.

The straight down to bedrock approach I find is really good for redstone but not much else. I find that in the generated caves there is a lot more ore along the walls.

So you really need both I think. I've made a waterfall going down my vertical bedrock mine shaft and shoot up to the top with a boat for fast surface access.

Have you ever thought of getting the minions mod? Once you get it you have to get up to 8 levels of experiance (8 levels is recomended) then you press the 'm' key then commit to evil in which you then pick one of three things, repeat untill you get the master staff, with it you right click the ground four times, one minion will appear wherever you right click in those four times. Once you have your four minions, you press the 'm' key again and select the 'dig mineshaft', once you have selected(right clicked) where the mineshaft is going to be, your minions will automaticly dig the mineshaft down into bedrock and place a cobblestone staircase. Once they finish that then you can press the 'm' botton (once again!) and select 'strip mine', once you have selected an area then one minion will work on it, going a certain number of blocks forward. This a well covered question already but the technique I personally use isn't listed so I figure I'll add it to the mix.

It isn't the technique for strip mining a chunk and extracting absolutely everything but it does expose lots of extra unseen blocks. It is much faster for quickly gaining things you want, it's incredibly easy to do, and is also less wearing on your pickaxes. Getting down to and up from the mine: Use water held up by a sign at the bottom of a 1x1 shaft that is straight down starting up at the surface for dropping to diamond ore levels.

To make it, dig a 1x3 section (so you don't mine beneath your feet) leave one side open for the drop shaft, fill the middle with cobble, and place ladders in the other shaft. The drop can be as great a distance as you want as long as the bottom of it looks like this: o = Stone X = Dug out W = Water S = A Wood Sign L = Ladder o X o L o o X o L o o X o L o o W o L o o S o L o X X X L X ( This is the mine ) X X X L X The drop is quick and completely safe. I use ladders for the return trip up but, if you prefer, (I think they take too long to make and are unreliable) you can make boat-waterfall ladder for coming back up. Mining: 1: Dig the standard 2x1 tunnels away from your entry point.

I personally do this standing at Y: 9 so I occasionally run into unexplored caves but, if you are scared of cave mining, do it at Y:8 or Y:7. I don't suggest going to a lower depth than this because bedrock can get in the way, and ore veins that are beneath your feet will be smaller.

2: Every 4th block into your tunnel dig the upper blocks in a 1x1 shaft as far as you can reach on both sides of your tunnel. If you see an ore you like, dig the bottom out and go get it! The view of walls of your 2x1 tunnel would look like this x = dug out o = stone o o o x o o o x o o o x o o o x o o o x o o o x o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o Extra optional step: 3: If you want to squeeze more out of this type of mine, return once you have finished a good section and bring pieces of TnT.

Place them in the back of the 1x1 shafts in the sides of your mine and set them off with Flint n Steel. I don't always do this because making TnT is a pain.

But it does work. General Mining Tips: 1: When mining always place torches on the right wall. When you want to come back just turn around and follow the torches that are now on your left. This is a very helpful technique for not getting lost in any mine exploring or digging. 2: If you have a well enchanted diamond shovel, dig out the sections of dirt you come across. High level shovels obliterate dirt at an insane speed and this typically reveals interesting stuff. Hope this helps!
