Sorry if this has been asked - the search feature is not working for me.

I'm curious if there are any coins other than BURST that currently use the hard drive mining technique or any coins expecting to do this in the future?  I was thinking of dropping a decent amount of money into it, but with it just being BURST that I know of at the moment I'm not sure it's worth it to get in at this point.

As far as I know, BURST SIA and MAID are the entire list of "hard drive mining" coins at this time.

BURST is the higher-profit of the three, but none of them are BIG money makers.


I'm no longer legendary just in my own mind!

Yap,
Burst,Sia,Maid and Storj can be mine using HDD.
But right now i dont think we can make a decent profit mining using HDD other than GPU.but who know about future ?
As far as i know,using HDD to mine really effective instead using GPU for mining.
Because low cost consumption of electricity.if i was you,i will consider it properly because if we miss it we dont know what will happen in the future ? Because lots of people intrested to mine it right now and of course will make the prices rise.
But also,if it doesnt what will happen ?
