Is BURST the only coin that you mine with your Hard Drive space?

[DrTrouble]

I have been mining BURST for awhile now.  It is a pain to set up but I am using what I already had - lots of HDD space!  Oh yea, and power consumption is super minimal so my electricity bill is not thru the roof.  I have made some $$$ with this one already but I am wondering if there are any other coins out there doing the same thing?

Thanks!

Officially, I don't know others.
But in theory it is possible to do HDD-assisted mining for pretty much everything as the algos are deterministic in nature. Whatever it's also profitable I cannot tell.

Maybe you would like to look into http://storj.io and http://driveshare.org/
The payouts are not extreme by any means, but still, you can make some BTC by renting our disk space.

I have not tried storj.io, I just heard about them on some podcasts.

Seems to be that burst mining isn't profitable...

actually it is, but require too much time for roi

profitable mean that your electricity is below your income, not that your roi is far away

So if I have 1 Terabyte of free hard drive space, how much money do I make per day?

[DrTrouble]

If you already have the drive space, BURST is definitely profitable...but only about $1/day/3-4TB.  If you do want to buy into it for profit, I would say there is about 3-4month ROI on hard drive purchases.

I looked in to this and it seems they are in development and have been for awhile.  I will keep my eye on them..

As far as I know it is the only coin atm that can be mined with HDD .
