Start mining with your spare Hard Drive space.

Hi,

I noticed this unique crypto a few months ago, when I was searching for a
profitable mining system. My electricity costs were going through the roof
and the extra heat was another big problem with GPU mining so I wanted
something different.

I think this is a good solution and I wanted to share it with you.

Burstcoin allows you to mine using your spare hard drive space
using your home/work pc or even run on your existing mining rigs
with very little extra cpu or electricity use.

Take a look, you won't be disappointed.

I think the time has come and gone for BURST being worth the electricity you put into it..
If you have a spare box going and free electricity I say go for it.. But for the most part I think you'll be mining at a loss.

That being said I do like the fact that BURST is something new.. so if you have space hard drives laying around.. go for it!

Not really. A typical 3.5" HDD is using 6.5 to 9 watts. For comparison a WD green is using 4.5 watts during heavy use and solid state drives using 0.6-2.8W. Going even with 9W will only cost you $11 a year with $0.14 kWh cost, per HDD.

Of course investing into Burst is not advised but if you do have at least a few TB of free space along with a PC running you can put them to use.

Is cloud hard drive space too slow for this type of thing?

I've tried but it didn't work well, uploading the plots and scan times were too long. Maybe if you had local / virtual access to a server.

Were you limited by your internet connection?

I've got 1Gig fiber - fast ping times - wonder what could be done with that.

yeah.. but the components needed to run those hardrives are going to eat power as well.

PSU, CPU, GPU, Ethernet, RAM all use electricity.

Maybe if you had a machine with a whole shitload of drives it could be profitable.. But a single or dual harddrive computer? I highly doubt!
