Guys i would like to ask if is it possible to mine altcoin using hard disk?
Or only CPU and GPU mining is available to use when mining? I have 3 HDD here with 500gb capacity..

the only known one are stoj(i don't remember the exact name) and the famous burstcoin, burstcoin is very profitable with hdd but you need gpu for a fast plotting, which is needed to fill the hdd with data that then is used to mine that data is your hashpower

Do you think even 1gb GPu is it enough to mine burst with HDD hoping to get more respond about this
and want to try to mine burstcoin

Do you know where i can get the tools for mining burst?
I would also try mining it using vps i have many stuck of vps and want to use some hard disk there. .

what gpu is that? if not too old it should not be bad for plotting, but it's better to have at least one 1050ti new generation, they don't cost to much and plot faster, you don't need to buy expensive gpu for plotting
