Re Burst:
I just want to state that I don't like the coin elther. Who the hell wants to waste huge amount of storage for no good...? I waited a few weeks before getting into Burst cuz of hestitations of the concept. But three or four things actually got me into it:
- I already had the hardware, and the hardward requires very little power resources. Under those conceptions, it's cheap in to ways, basically
- The dev is really active, and this has also generared a very active community. While dev concentrate on the main things (updated nxt code, trying to build a GPU ploter, etc.), the community has take a number of independent initative (multipools, faucets, FAQ, homepage, etc), mostly without bounties.
- Its profitible. Atleast if you have the hardware as I do, it's like free money. And this in a time when profit margin's for GPU mining are less to nothing. For the first time since February I have turned off my GPUs. But, frankly, I make money, and quite nicely so, way more than with GPU's. However, the network is growing so it will most probable be less profit in the future, as the price likely wont rise.
Ofc there are a number arguments you can make for not getting in, some indicated above.
This isn't the Burst thread so I'll wont write more about it, but as someone before me I'll also offer 5K Burst for a GPU miner for Burst working on 750TI --- given that it's stable, considerable faster than a high-end CPU (say a modern I7'n), and no one already published an equalant program before. If there are interest in this, I can add more to the bount and I hope other will join in.
