Please can anybody tell me the real life solution Burst coin is solving and the real world use of the tokens.

I echo Shiroslullaby's comments.  The real world "problem" it solved for me.... I got into Bitcoin a little while ago (a year+).  Obviously way too late to mine.  I'm not much of a computer/techie guy but wanted to look into mining another currency.  When I looked into it they all seemed complicated and would require buying more hardware in a process I didn't fully understand.

What I did have was free HDD space  (I own a business and have some extra computers).  When I found BURST the process was easy and was able to mine on resources I already have.  And as mentioned previously...it is very low energy/green/eco friendly...I essentially mine 24/7 in the background of computers  (and now external hard drives) that are already on.  It's pretty much as close to "free" money as you can get for me.

The other "problem" it solved for me as unlike many other cryptos...you can take BURST and invest in assets and earn a decent ROI.  Instead of just holding or dumping on an exchange.

But obviously like almost all cryptos you can't just walk into any store and use BURST.  Then again...where I live I've yet to see anyone accepting Bitcoin yet either.  

From your explanation, there is no real world problem solved by this project, mining was designed for a purpose in Bitcoin POW and the cost incur during mining is rewarded by Bitcoin coins, but we all know that Bitcoin has disrupt so many businesses, especially the financial sector and the remittance market. In my opinion this coin has no real world value/use but just use for speculative purposes


You have your opinion I have mine...that's what makes the world go around.  I gave an example of a real world "problem" (in MY world) BURST has solved.  Quite obviously BURST is rather new (about a year with current development team)...of course it hasn't been adopted by merchants worldwide.     

20/20 hindsight is a powerful tool...everything you say could be applied to Bitcoin as well if you go back to 2008/2009.  Even today where I live I could drive endlessly, go into countless stores and not find a single merchant that accepts Bitcoin...in fact I've never seen one. 

Yes, it is amazing to see that there are no clones of BURST. BURST has a lot of potential to grow in the future.  Good Luck

Instead of mining on your phone, why not throw it into a fire? /s

Well the obvious answer is your phone would melt and be destroyed in the fire.  Whereas when you mine BURST you simply plot some free space and it uses that to mine...so it runs in the background and doesn't overheat/use the resources of the device.  Very low energy/green/eco friendly.

I can't believe how many people don't know about the BURST mining technology.  There are people that are going to make a KILLING mining this coin (obviously not just through android mining).

First thing you should consider. Is it profitable enough? Definitely not profitable. Your phone may be destroyed by the mining application because of overheating. Its not worth it. Besides, smartphones are not meant to be use for mining. You should buy appropriate specifications of hardware in able to perform safe mining. By the way, BURST is a good name tho. Your phone may burst when you do that. Lol


Don't listen to his advice he's a scammer. He's probably just trying to mislead you.

The application may require a fairly high specification phone, and requires always-on internet access. Well, even though it was cool, but it also makes some of the losses, which could create a phone that we have become hot quickly because it worked for a long time without stopping and it makes rapid battery becomes low

Amazing isn't it? Rather than spending money on buying ASIC miners and GPUs, people should get into mining BURST coins. Maybe buy a couple of 1 TB hard drives and use them.

It does not use the resources of your phone (once again)...a lot of people posting that don't know the BURST mining technology.

I have heard about BURST coin and the way they have designed this coin to mine without wasting energy is really revolutionizing! I haven't tried to get into it. Do you need a good internet connection to download any packages for mining burst coins? My internet connection is pretty bad. I have an old laptop which I use it to fold proteins. I am thinking of using it to mine burst coins.

I would think you'd need a pretty solid connection...but maybe give it a shot.  Again, main BURST site is http://web.burst-team.us

Anyone here done it?

Obviously you won't get rich just doing it, but seems like a cool little application  (mine on your phone). 

Any feedback?

I do have an android phone but will definitely not going to use it to mine any coin,i't's not worth considering the price that you are going to pay,in case your phone gets error like what happen to my friend who gets his phone drained because of mining a certain coin.

Again...it doesn't drain your phone...you plot some free space and it uses that to mine.  Same as the free HDD space on the computer...it doesn't use the resources of the computer but the plotted HDD space.  I'm mining BURST 24/7 on two computers in the background ...I don't even notice it's there when doing other tasks.

I am not a smartphone user however, i do mine burst and i love the tech.
Maybe you could use a phone but instead of plotting to the drive storage on the phone, try piloting to some cloud storage space

I don't think phones are capable of mining still what are the requirements for mining burst coins on phone, any software to install?

I'm the wrong person to ask.  But go here https://forums.burst-team.us

and ask.  Community is very friendly and helpful.
At least you could have told me what client or software would be required to install to get started anyway thanks for your answer and the link to burst coin community

Again...I wouldn't know the answer to that.  I'm not a techie with this stuff.  But I believe you can go to the Google play store and get this.  Just search "burstcoin".

I don't think most phones are going to have the amount of hard drive space you need to make any real money.
You need Terabytes of space to make even a few cents worth of coins.
32/ 64 GB of hard drive space probably isn't going to find you many deadlines.

A special pool is setup just for phones and tablets. Plot on a 128 or 64 gb sdcard and you are all set. I have used a Transformer TF101 and a MotoG succesfully with 100 coins per week at a cost of an overnight battery charge.

Download the app and create a 1gb plot. Everyone has that much space left then get used to mining some burst as I have shutdown all my antminers and Avalons as this coin is worth it.

Even if there are,I will not use my android phone to mine any coin however safe it is,there are some risk involve mining using your phone and given the value of your android phone,it's not really not worth to mine any coin.
