Title: I worked on a project to mine Burst coin completely off of solar this weekend

One of the best things about Burst in my opinion is the fact that it doesn't required a whole lot of electricity to mine. Just some extra hard drive space. It also doesn't require a whole lot of network usage like storj and the other storage coins do. So since the only ISP in my area just recently capped out our a data at 500 gb/month and the upload speed is only 2.5 mbps, Burst is really good for me. I mined Storj for about a month and wasn't able to use my internet for a whole lot of anything since it killed the upload speed and it was literally slower than dial up. Anyways, I found Burst and and decided to see if I could hook some drives up to my raspberry pi and run it off my small solar setup in my camper. It works. Here is a guide on how I did it. It's not the fastest at scanning drives, but this cost me absolutely nothing since I already had everything. Check it out:

I got lucky and found 2 blocks last week and got about $50. So since I already had everything to do this, it's a nice little bonus. What do you guys think? This is for everyone that was interested in mining Bitcoins on solar but found out how much power it would require. You could do this setup for about $150 and that will give you everything you need to get started except the hard drives.
