So if I go ahead with STORJ do I need to keep my computer switched on for 1 month to receive payout or can I choose to switch it on whenever I choose?

Which pool?

I have 12TB in burstcoin.ro pool and getting nowhere ... earned 150 burst in 14 days.

 

I read somewhere, don't remember where though, that burstcoin.ro are probably the worst choice. There were even accusations of stealing from users. I can't recommend a good pool. I know that pool.burstcoin.space is better for small miners but I have no personal experience with them, so I can't say if this is so or not.

the good side of burst is that you can use every hdd/ssd you have, even with realocated or bad blocks or ready to fail ( smart problem ) disks
as long as you can read from it, it generate Burst with no penalty

the other 2 you need to run over raid1 ( mirror ) if you don't want to lose money


with 18Tb on Burst for 1 mounth I have 17000 bursts
you can do the math with currect price


HOW?  What pool are you on.  I have more than half your TB and have made 50 burst coin in a couple weeks.  Please share your pool.

I'm currently using pool.burst4all.com  I'm fairly new and just testing the waters out so to speak.  However if what I'm receiving over the first couple of days holds up.  You really need to find another pool.  I'm pretty much just testing with 500gigs and I will make about 60 to 70 burst coins in ~2 weeks which is what I'm going to assume your couple of weeks means.  If you are sitting on 10 tbs that should be ~20x my number.  That is still nowhere near his number but still way better then what you are currently getting.

Stop using storj because I was mining it for a month, wasted a few bucks of internet bandwidth and many days to check everything every few hours. not sure about burst because they're idiots and banned my country from accessing their home page. because of US government policy/sanctions, my brother told me the same thing but I needed to see for myself Sad
I never received any storj coins, if you are planning to use them you are better off using the cloud.

Agreed. I remember checking out the cost of storj for my personal storage purposes and I decided that conventional cloud storage was cheaper and suited my purposes fine, especially since I also encrypt my data before uploading.

You have to rentover a complet month to get the payout, but its worth it if you mining at the same time.

Burst market is saturated !

Caveat with BURST coin.

It was been hacked just a few months ago and it may be a very vulnerable coin to be wasting your time and resources on. Why? There's what, 80,000 TB on the network? At $22 per TB (lowest on PC part picker, not lowest for a volume buyer), that's under $2,000,000 for a 51% attack on the network. Yes this is a very small and vulnerable crypto currency.

And as if thats not enough, there been lots of fighting between devs and mining pools DDOSing each other (burst nation vs bust team US). Red flags everywhere.

as I know Storj is quite a useless platform. Your HDD cannot fill up with data completely, and you won't be paid for this. And it's definitely not the right time to start up your business in Burst. The ROI will be so long and you cannot earn anymore because the coin practically mined up to the end. Maybe SIA will show us better abilities to live longer.

I don't know what your talking about, been running Storj for the past 4 months and drives do fill up... I'm at 325 Storj coins, pretty decent.
As for SIA, well I can't say I have seen this being taken seriously as far as hosting data compared to Storj...
I tried to get the thing going after finally mining 2000 coins and had troubles getting the thing to work.
Went out to do some reading and the horror stories that goes with that, oh my! Support seems scarce.

Storj support is amazing, live chat, fast response time and things just work, no need to farm coins to host.

Hi,
Which one do you prefer to use for HDD mining? SJCX values in the Poloniex site seem to be more advantageous. But the Burst community is more active.

STORJ: http://i66.tinypic.com/szued4.jpg

I heard the difficulty on BURST was through the roof.

I also read about that, so it seems that is not worth to mining any more of BURST  Shocked Shocked

I ran both of them, burst is most profitable for me but i'm getting more contracts and disk traffic now after 2 months in storj -- I hope storj catches up.

1TB has been paying 34-38 SJCX/ month for the last three months. Not much but pays electricity for that tiny file server which is always on anyways.

Latest SJCX payout formula:

http://storj.us8.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=edba9fc4ce8b9095a31859cba&id=ca6a5bedef&e=6c71cf8a5e

In today's money that's $50+. /Month

I wish my laptop wouldn't keep shutting down can't afford new right now!

Another train is gonna leave the station and I'm not gonna be on it again if I don't get my S-hit sorted!

Storj is on the rise and there is a real reason why it is.

I'm almost tempted to ask for donations to get my rig up n running  Undecided

stay away from burst. its flawed and can be exploited via NXT exploits.
there is no scalability of the network, and all the people who had any technical understanding and capability had left the project.
the community is split apart and this coin is slowly dying.

id say go for sia and storj/maidsafe

sia can not be mined with hdd though, it's a gpu coin, despite being used for storage, so your suggestion doesn't make sense, and storj works with cloud storage, burst is still not bad for pure profit without looking at the project, you can earn something with a few TB
