When I first got into cryptocurrency last year, I started with GPU mining, but after seeing a bill or two, I also wanted a less, shall we say, economically invasive in the electric bill region form of mining. I found out about a couple different type of coins based around hard drives, which were very interesting to me.

I got into Burst, which had a different spin of actually writing "plots" to hard drives and then "mining" (aka searching) the plots to find the best deadline for a given block. I settled on Burst at the time because the potential rewards were the highest at the time. Now more recently, the dev team behind Burst is working on also adding the decentralized storage into the code, which seems to kinda throw it back into the middle of the bunch as far as use cases.

Anyone else here into Burst or do you prefer a different "storage" coin?
