what is the most cost effective way to burst mine>?

In my opinion is with usb 3.0 external, they are a bit cheaper and easier to install than SATA, and far away cheaper than SSD

what is the current best software for plotting and mining?

[ccminer.net]

ROI consideration:

315tb / 5tb = 63 drives.

12000 k burst (average) is about 19/20 usd per day.

5tb cost 140/160 usd.

Total investment 9450 usd
Income per month 600 usd.

ROI in 15,75 month (Im not calculating electricity cost)

Just for information..

Must consider the computers to mine and the delivery costs

What is the maximum amount of drives linked to one machine possible, I guess its limited by PSU more then other factors ?    Is it possible also to use the GPU for burst some of the time and also have the GPU involved other mining besides burst or is that too disruptive as burst always requires the GPU immediately.
In ROI you could also include depreciation and the asset worth of the standing stock

The maximum number reall depends on your motherboard!
If you mine with the GPU assisted miner, that is the best and fastest one, I say that you can not miner other coins with the same GPU.
The ROI like all the crypto depends by many factors, price against BTC, BTC price, trade volumes, network total capacity, difficulty readjustment, etc

With a large numbers of drives is better to use a GPU  assisted miner to decrease the reading time and increment your chances to find a block

Ccminer, what are the numbers these days, how many TBs you have mining? I saw the price peaked last days, so what are the new profitability and ROI? I can't find working calculator for Burst :/ Since I saw this thread for first time I am considering to build small hard drive mine, and with the latest price think the profit is going to be not so afar from gpu mining as it was before. I remember best choice were external hard drives with 4/5TB capacity, is it still so? Any other advises, like what mobo, cpu, etc. to choose would be appreciated. Regards

is this calculator accurate? http://explorer.burstnation.com/calculator
Using this with 315tb, I get a gross income of 1.29 BTC per month or about $2200.

look at the date of the post you quoted, his math was based on the old value of burst, roi is better now

 Calculator is a little optimistic, like all of the BURST calcs I've tried it seems to overstate your income 30-50% - probably due to inaccurate estimates of the actual total network TB pointed at BURST.

 I suspect a lot of the inaccuracy in the total BURST network TB estimates are due to folks like me with multiple machines pointing at the same address, that only get reported as the size of ONE of the machines (and not always the highest capacity one!).


 BURST is also very "streaky", so don't look at one day or even one week of figures as a baseline for comparison.

HI there,

with the current price the ROI increased quite a lot in comparison with when I started, in a nice day I can make up to 100 EURO+ with my 415TB
yeah external HD with usb 3, try not to spend more than 27 USD per TB.
Mobo try to get one with at least 4 USB 3 port, CPU with as many core and thread as possible.

[QuintLeo]

Is there any benefit if I use faster HD/SSD or only the capacity is considered?

 If you can get through the whole plot on a HD before the next block is initiated, you're fine - otherwise you lose a little.

 Generally though, a SSD is way overkill for the required speed and THEY COST TOO MUCH to be worth using in BURST mining.

Yeah ssd are too expensive and at the end the roi is uneconomic

have you tried a high core count cpu and as many drives as the core count mining in parallel? should equal to very high overall read rates as each drive will read at their max speed
im thinking about ryzen or even threadripper for a 16/32 disk setup

In one of my rig I'm using an high end i7 CPU the reading speed in quit fast, currently I have attached to that rig something like 65 HDDs, and I'm using the GPU to mine ETC at the same time.
The limitations are due to the PSU and the MOBO

[QuintLeo]

FX 8570 (octocore but the old Bulldozer-based) running JMiner (if I'm not doing anything else with the CPU) can almost keep up with raw hard drive speed of any non-SSD drive I have (I don't waste SSDs on BURST, but my gaming rig has one).

 Blago is a lot slower, 4x or thereabouts (FX doesn't support AVX2 he added support for in the newest version though).

 I've been toying with building a Backblaze "pod", but I'd probably beef up the recommended PS enough to run 1 or 2 of my RX 470s in it, or possibly 1 or 2 of my older R9 280x cards....

is it running all in parallel or some sequential?
i cant really image it is reading at 65 * 80MB/s = 5200MB/s, does it?

as time is a factor, how long does it take till all data is scanned for a single round? im targetting <45sec

[Vaccinus]

is this still profitable to mien i see the value is tanking again and returning to 100 satoshi slowly, while the diff keep increase? maybe it's a gamble now to buy some hdd to mine this, i think it was always better to buy when it was very cheap and hold until the recent pump, what do you think?

when I used GPU jminer it tooks 55 sec, now that the GPU is busy mining ETC it takes aroind 100 sec, but Im working on reducing the time, dividing the HDDs in different rigs

LOL returning to 100 sat  , today the price rised again and now it's 415 sat
