haha ok i'll think about getting some more TB how much power does a single HDD pull while mining? Next to nothing. You are reading your plots while you mine which consumes not much. The writing process is what creates major stress on the HDD's, not reading. Luckily we plot only once. Btw, mining became incredibly painful i am starting to regret getting into this. I hope burst prices rise along with its hash rate soon.

So you've got the same storage space allocated to each solution and you've started your experiments at the same time?
Not really, but if i know the sizes of both and the reward i could easily calculate the profits using any size. Even if i did have the same storage space allocated for both, to factor in problems with pools etc etc would still throw the experiment out the window. What im trying to do here is to see if its even doable. Its looking good so far, and im running 6 GPU mining on the same computer without even the slightest problem.

Alright. I'm mining with BurstNeon but I can't remember the reward scheme, nor can I find it on the web ( ). Does someone know?

I finished gpu plotting (optimized) my first 8tb drive yesterday. It took about 27 hours with an RX 550 4GB. I've started my second 8tb drive and have one more to do after that.
Question: Does anyone know if the starting nonce can be 0 for each drive, or do I have to start where I left off on the previous drive?

Ok, that is what I did on HD2... Funny... Claymore added new dual mining options to his miner. I've mined more $$$ worth of XVG in 30 minutes on that than I have in 2 days of Burst mining... lol

I use this pool and i am happy with the results: https://0-100-pool.burst.cryptoguru.org/0-100 means that you don't get rewarded if you find a block but you get all the rewards (%100) from your historical shares. I started with https://50-50-pool.burst.cryptoguru.org/ when i first started to mine in January and it was horrible. I was still plotting my HDD's at that time maybe that was the reason. (probably not, see below) I wasn't making the coins the calculator was saying. ( https://explore.burst.cryptoguru.org/tool/calculate) In a 50-50 pool you get half of the historical shares and half of the block reward. The problem is you'll never find a block unless you have over 100TB. So I was just wasting my time on 50-50 with my few TB's. 0-100 guru is the best if you are mining on a few TB's like me. Thanks for this! Been mining for 24 hrs on that pool on the 50-50 one and noticed I got sweet nothing good one. i use it too

what about the earning's with STORJ ? Dont know yet, just started in the beginning of this month. And apparently they only pay out once each month. And the amount of coins you get depends on how many ppl used their service, and how many if those ppl used your harddrives combined with how many gb u uploaded. The coin has almost 50x the value of BURST, so will be fun to see the amount one will get.

Woah this is my first time hearing about HDD mining. I thought it was a joke when I first read the title, but turns out it's legit! I've got a lot of spare hard drives, both internal and external just sitting around. I found a site that had a getting started guide for mining Storj using an app called Storj Share. Before I jump right in, is there anywhere else I can get more information about this or any recommendations? This is the first time I'm just learning about this so I know next to nothing at the moment and don't want to be led astray with malicious sites.

Ok, so it has been about a month since I started this. I have 58tb and I'm making ~90 BURST per day.
I have found that I make more on the 0-100 pool versus 50-50, even though with 58tb I should be ok on the 50-50 pool.

Okey, i told you guys that i would come back after i mined both BURST and Storj for a month. Here it is : BURST is shit, it pays NOTHING and the coin itself is pretty useless. Storj on the other hand, it pays OK! Its definetly profitable if you only count electricity used for HDDs. The program used is also nice to use and user friendly. Delete ur BURST mining and start with Storj.

I joined to mine Burst coin from last December. It's quite interesting as it consumes not much power.

Holy shit thats a lot of HDDs!! How many TB is that? How much did that cost? Expected ROI? How much do you pay in electricity each month? Really cool setup man. Keep it up, you makes us miners happy

I dont even know that you also mine Burst Coin, I just think you mine ETH haha. How much Tb of your farm, and I wonder why you use all HDD not external hard drive which is typically cheaper and consumes less power than HDD. Btw, your setup is too cool. I have only 80Tb but I just make it like this haha.

I have only 80Tb but I just make it like this haha. Buy some usb fans for those HDD's like this one; https://www.arctic.ac/eu_en/arctic-breeze-mobile.htmlI own 3 of those those HDD's and they get pretty hot after some time. Probably not dangerous but keeping them cool might extend their lifespan. One fan can cool 3 of your HDD's. Those seagates have 2 usb ports on the front panel. You can dial your fan there. This is my mini rig: Waiting for the new 20xx GPU's and more money, so I can add more HDD's
