I hope to see more investors like you to support this coin and give it value and reason.
If you plan on starting a small farm and do not want to buy a load of equipment unless you already have it. Have a USB 3.0 port. Found some samsung 5TB 3.0 external hard drives on newegg. Picked one up for I think it was $121.xx shipped. Guess it would depend on how log you plan on being in burst.
Even if it is not very profitable to mine BURST with your HDD, as the cost of HDD is more than what you make in BURST weekly or monthly (based on burstcoin.biz calculator) it will still be a fun and innovating way of mining a crypto currency and support its network. I might start will a small HDD mining farm and test how mining BURST with them works. But sometimes I wonder if the HDD could support being used long enough for mining BURST 24/7 I guess that mining with them will shorten its lifespan, right? Also, have anyone tried mining with a Solid State Drive (SSD) by the way?
You could think of it as an investment. With all that is going on with Burst. I would not be surprised if the price doesn't rise. Ultimately, the exchanges determine price by users buying and selling. I see there are people just holding coins and also sinking into assets. Which is fine by me. But if we could get a few whales to slowly sell off and buy back to increase the price. Need some pumpers. No one seems to pump this coin like other coins. The price pretty much stays on an even plain. It need s nudge.
We should put together a pump group for burst and work together to increase the price. The all future mining would be worth it for the people that feel it isnt worth anything.
Just an idea.
