Title: Is there any coin that can be mine with HDD.
Post by: suvo05 on July 28, 2017, 06:40:58 PM
I found Burst is the only coin that can be mined using the HDD. But Burst is in a attack now. Is there any new coin  that can be mined using the disk space?
Pls inform.

Network is working again.  Nice of Polo to wait until it was fixed to disable deposits and withdraws.  A little late guys.
Then again half the other ALTs are temporarily disabled as well.  I blame Al Gore.

Burst, Sia, and Storj are the only 3 that I am aware of. Burst is the only one that really mines with the HDD, the other two are more along the lines of renting out your spare HDD space then mining.

Burstcoin is the only one that can be mined with HDDs, but difficulty has increased too much and probably soon won't be profitable anymore.

Sia can be mined with GPUs in the same way as many altcoins, and like Storj you could also earn if someone rents your HDD space (= not mining).
