There is currently a revolution taking place in Burst and it's very refreshing. Now that efforts are being made to undertake major changes in development and communication we are finally seeing big improvements.
The network is now much more stable than it has ever been, development is going strong and the community is slowly rebuilding itself. The potential is huge if you think about it: an energy efficient coin with a one of a kind protocol (Proof of Capacity), smart contracts (that Burst was the first to implement), atomic cross-chain transactions, asset exchange, etc... That's some very promising stuff here, with the added bonus of having had a 100% fair release.
