Hi all,
I have been solo mining for a few months now and have saved up a good amount of BURST. Now that I have my stack, I am considering leasing my hard disk space in monthly contracts and would like to feel out demand for the service.
I have briefly read about the Petabyte asset offering a similar service for something like $80/TB. I am not sure if this is for the lifetime of the drives or any other details since I have not been on the asset's page in the marketplace yet.
As an alternative, I would like to offer my disk space at $10/TB per month, payable via Bitcoin (also considering pegging it to a BTC amount). (Sorry, this would not be on the BURST asset exchange). Monthly payouts seem to be the easiest to deal with at the moment.
I currently have around 90TB available, mining 24/7 (for the most part, brief restarts and maintenance periods are inevitable), on a BURST-dedicated PC. 100 TB total will be available soon.
So, would anyone out there be interested in such a service? I would provide proof that the drives exist and that they are mining. A dedicated BURST address would be created for anyone to track the mining performance.

great, but $10/ month is a lot. Like, heaps. Sorry, but no buyers at that price.
Yeah, I would only want to go down to $8, maybe $6 per TB/month, otherwise it's not worth the feeling of having other people relying on the service to me.
I was able to acquire my drives in bulk for a really good price, so even if I liquidated all at $30/TB I would have a comfortable profit overall and the future potential of BURST.
I've bought more coins than I have mined at this point and I do have faith in BURST, especially as the first HDD-mineable crypto. As it becomes more user-friendly, automated, and "turn-key" for the end user, I think it will continue to grow. Major selling points are you can mine with relatively affordable non-esoteric hardware, it is one of the most profitable coins to mine for your dollar spent on hardware (right?), and the drives basically retain their resale value until they die/fail.
I honestly don't think the BURST marketplace / exchange will be very important to people who hear of BURST as a way to sit back and earn BTC with your extra HDD space. However, I think marketing BURST in this way would take It to a new level, it is just not easy enough to use to try to market it this way yet.
As long as BURST enters that "turn-key" realm before another HDD coin comes along and beats to the punch, BURST will explode, I think.
Just my 2 BURST
