http://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/2kecy5/burst_giveaway_own_some_of_the_first/I'm giving away BURST! As of right now, there's 9100 BURST still available.
As we all know, there are many cryptocurrencies out there. It's difficult to find the ones which offer something interesting, useful, or game changing. Well, I think I found one, and I want to personally promote it.
Burstcoin is the first proof-of-capacity (POC) coin. What is POC? Basically, it uses hard drive space as mining power. You write chunks of data called "plots" to your drive which are then used during mining. This consumes much less power than proof-of-work coins like Bitcoin or Litecoin. You can probably think of a plot like a lottery ticket; the more tickets you have, the better your chances to win. Burstcoin's infrastructure (e.g. wallet, network, etc.) is based on NXT, the #6 cryptocurrency by market cap (
http://coinmarketcap.com/ ). This gives it many useful features like a built-in asset exchange, simple messaging, named accounts, and many others. Burstcoin was not pre-mined (unlike NXT, which was fully pre-mined).
Who am I? I work in the cryptocurrency space; I'm currently working at a large Bitcoin mining operation, and I'm a day trader of cryptos. I like the ideas of cryptocurrencies and the possibilities of the blockchain. I'm a Bitcoin proponent. I believe that there can be multiple successful cryptocurrencies. And I've been intrigued enough by Burstcoin that I'm starting a hosted mining service for it:
http://burst.farmIf you're new to Burstcoin, be one of the first 100 people to reply to PM me here on bitcointalk or reply to the reddit post (n.b. DON'T reply to this bitcointalk thread!) and I'll send you 100 BURST. If you need a free wallet access portal, go to
http://burst.farm:8125 (unlike coins like Bitcoin, this does not host your funds; the passphrase is just a key into the BURST blockchain and you can access your funds from any access portal, on your machine or elsewhere). Enter a passphrase or let it generate one for you (and SAVE IT! This is the only way to get into your BURST wallet). Paste your new BURST-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXX address in your reply here. Then, to fully activate your account, spend 1 BURST (the easiest way is to set your account name, which costs 1 BURST).
Welcome to Burst!
