When trying to click on edit, the page flips to the top and thats all that happens. I tested firefox and chromium browser (Linux). Both the same result.

Don't know why still can't edit my last post :(.

And the privie doesn't show anything

Hi i can't edit post or delete post any more.

Everytime I want to edit my post it's not possible. And the Preview is not shown during posting.

Some ideas, is this burstforum down and broken ?

What to do ? (most explanation from mac tutorial but its working with linux too)

Downloading core Wallet zip from the Burst App Team

https://github.com/burst-apps-team/burstcoin/releases/tag/v2.5.3
Actually the newest stable Version is BRS 2.5.3

Type: sha256sum burstcoin-2.5.5.zip in the terminal (from the download folder) to run sha256 check for security reasons and check if the sha256 is the same like on your output

Zip SHA-256: ee8bde45e3c10750ef62572cf347bcfde499950b7528eced3677177e47c779ae

Please make sure you are running Java 8 or higher

Creating an database. The program for this database you are using is maria:

2.1 Search for maria in the software repository and install maria

2.2 go to the terminal and type "sudo su" and press enter then you are on with root rights

Type the following, one line at a time, pressing enter step by step.

2.3 mysql -u root -p -h localhost
(The default password for MariaDB is blank. If it asks you for a password, simple press enter)

2.4 CREATE USER 'burstwallet'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
(Replace password by your own password)

2.5 GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON burstwallet.* TO 'burstwallet'@'localhost';

2.6 CREATE DATABASE burstwallet;

2.7 Press ctr + c to exit

Got to your download folder and unzip burstcoin-2.5.3.zip

3.1 go to the burstcoin-2.5.3 folder and then open the conf folder

3.2 open brs-default.properties

3.3. search for:
DATABASE

Database connection JDBC url
Append ;AUTO_SERVER=TRUE to enable automatic mixed mode access.
DB.Url=jdbc:mariadb://localhost:3306/burstwallet
DB.Username= here type burstwallet, burstwallet is your username
DB.Password= here type your password you set in 2.4

Don't forget to activate BRS for using maria db in the brs-default.properties. You have to delete # in front of the lines mentioned in 3.3. (and you have to set # in front of the lines for H2, after fresh install maria db is not activated).

It should look like this in your config:

connection JDBC url

Append ;AUTO_SERVER=TRUE to enable automatic mixed mode access.

DB.Url=jdbc:mariadb://localhost:3306/burstwallet
DB.Username= burstwallet
DB.Password= typer here your password set in 2.4

We are using file based as default

#DB.Url=jdbc:h2:file:./burst_db/burst.h2;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE
#DB.Username=
#DB.Password=

save your changes.

Start BRS 2.5.3 Wallet

4.1 go to the burstcoin-2.5.3 folder (and open the terminal)

4.2 type : chmod +x burst.sh (then the burst.sh is executable)

4.3 type: ./burst.sh

4.4. The Wallet is starting with maria.db database
(blockchain is saved in /var/lib/mysql/burstwallet, the burstwallet is the database you created in 2.)

4.5 type 127.0.0.1:8125 in your browser and start the wallet interface

Conclusion: You create a maria database called burstwallet and you created a maria user called burstwallet and set a password for your database. Then you set your username and password in the brs-defaults.properties file in the conf folder from your burstcoin-2.5.3 folder and then your started your wallet.

And the BRS 2.4.0 shows only Peers with 2.4.0 as up to date. BRS 2.3.0 are shown as not up to date. In my case only 6/25 are up to date (the 6 are running 2.4.0 and the rest 2.3.0).

Therefore Downloading blockchain from scratch is realy slow at this time.

And the Java is running all CPU Cores (4 of 4) on 100 % during running the wallet BRS 2.4.0.

Actually for me the 2.4.0 is not a good choice. The 2.3.0 is running smooth.

@ryanw Harry says the solution for the warning message.

Using Java 8 and all warning messages during startup are gone but when testing 127.0.0.1:8125 the same message:

"Warning!This node is not running on your local computer. Be cautious when using public wallets" is shown.

So i know i am running my node on my local computer but the BRS 2.4.0 Wallet is showing me another information although using Java 8.

I can't understand "This node is not running on your local computer" why BRS 2.4.0 is showing this message ?

@haitch Hi i am just testing the new wallet and got some issues. I posted my issue on:

https://burstforum.net/topic/9615/brs-2-4-0-issue-warning-on-starting-and-local-brs-wallet-not-running-local

Some advice ?

Hi i am just trying the BRS 2.4.0 and got this warning on every start.

[INFO] 2019-07-02 18:30:20 brs.db.sql.Db - Using SQL Backend with Dialect MariaDB

And when testing 127.0.0.1:8125 I got this message:

Don't know what is going on but it's not normal that way.

Some advice ?

Whats is the community.

There can be no real community in forums.

If i would create a new coin for PoCC like Chia or BHD and i dislike the other coin like Burst.

I would go to the forums create an account and shout at the developer team until they stop development. Nice and easy if that is working.

Perhaps we should have a look on SmartCash. What if we get an similar voting system which depends on holding coins. So if we can ask the community for decicions. And only the real invested can vote. So we know that every man who is voting is realy invested and the more the more oting is possible.

The end is always the beginning of a new. We have to think of possibility to solve problems in burstcoin in a less toxic and not destroying way.

@zohtar

They should have informed the miners before testing. That was the failing communication. I think they don't come back. They don't want to come back. And in the end of my text i wrote it. They seems to be highly skilled developers and it's hard to believe that they didn't know what shitstorm from the community comes on dual mining and not informing about that before.

It seems they looked for a way out and used the community shitstorms to exit burstcoin development.

So if the community doesn't matter like they say they would have working on Dymaxion without drama . It 's like in the real world on the working place. If yout want to quit your job you find a reason to quit without saying the real reason if you don't want to.

Perhaps we get a fork or something else from the POCC, we will see.

POCC is now leaving BURST, they wrote it on Twitter:
