hello yall trying to get into this.. anyway a kind soul can send me 1 burst i think so i can get my recipent received and i can start mining? TIA i will repay you!
BURST-75DV-JRRV-LXQ6-GU2SQ
Thanks so much
Cant wiat to try this

A 8tb drive makes about $18 a month now. Plug in 7270gb to this calculator: http://burstcoincalculator.com/
All in it's 10 months ROI and HDD is kinda like an ASCI because it only mines burst. Sure there's storj and sia but how many years will it take a fill hundreds of TB.
Past few months there were DDOS and their forum were down for weeks at a time. It's a lot more stable now.
It takes 14 hours to fill a 8 tb drive and another 14 hours to optimize it. Ramp up is slow. I got 12x 8tb drives, but imo money is better put in GPUs for now.

Does it make sense to run it on the same rig running the 5 x GPU? Would this affect hte performance of the GPU mining? (I'm using Nicehash). I have like $900 invested in motherboard, cpu, ram, power supply, operating system, spare ssd for system (in case other fails), 2tb backup usb drive, etc. So that something I wouldn't need to buy at least. All it would require is for me to spend $100 each for a few 4 TB HDD.
It has ZERO effect on GPU mining, even when it's doing the actual drive reads for the active "mining", unless you are trying to run it on a 1 or 2 core CPU - then the effect is small and short-lived.
SMR drives like the Seagate Archive line are pretty much PERFECT for BURST - you "plot" the drive once, and after that it's all READS from data that does not change.
USB flash drives work, but WAY BLOODY EXPENSIVE per TB - not cost effective at all.
The only machines I did THAT on were running small LINUX installations on "oversized" USB drives and I figured "might as well use the extra space for SOMETHING".
HDD on a "per TB" basis STILL blow away any flash drive.
I would get at least 10x 8TB hard drives. Given time you will earn back your investment.
How would you house them all? Would you get all USB drives and have multiple wallwarts. Or would you buy internal drives and install into an external USB 3.0 enclosure? Not sure of the best way to manage large arrays of drives.
Does it matter if the drives are SMR vs PMR?

I agree with another commentators, because PC HDD have limited lifetime, and it projects for storage, not for active using. Maybe, you can use server's HDD, look it.
How about USB flash drive do you think will work.. There are lots of 1 terebyte usb really cheap in china supplier if ever this is working you buy lots of usb drive 1tb and usb hub where you can put all your 1tb usb..
If ever this is working its more profitable and you can ROI at 2 months..
But of this is only work in hdd the price is really high compare to usb flash drive..
How about SSD?

Is mining with hdd have future?
I think that hdd mining haven't future, because it will ruin your devise faster than you will receive a real profit. Better to use GPU and ASIC for mining.
Its for long-term using, and much more profitable.
i am thinking to invest to some portable usb hdd for making burst mining rig 
but im confused, how fast harddrives deformed while mining?

Lots of good info on this thread, Burst coin calculators are optimistic! thats why it looked so good. Do you guys think BURST will continue to live alongside all the other cryptos? will it gain value?
Every BURST calculator in existence is optimistic on earnings, due to a flaw in how the "network size" is calculated.
Figure you'll pull 60% or so of the "calculated" value as that's about what the ACTUAL returns average - if you can find a pool that stays up reliably for more than a week at a time any more.

Will the burstcoin mining run on a mac? I have a mac as my personal computer which I leave on all the time. Would be nice to buy a couple of these USB drives and attach to mac and start mining.
Or I guess I could run this within vmware fusion on my mac? I have a copy of windows 7 pro I run in vm. CPU is i7-3770.

I recommend 8tb drives for $160. Twice the density, half power usage, half the RMAs. https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Expansion-Desktop-External-STEB8000100/dp/B01HAPGEIE/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1516859565&sr=1-2&keywords=8tb
Your gpu performance will be slightly affected because it uses the GPU to read the HDDs (unless you got a beefy cpu, you can use cpu). Every few minutes, one gpu will slowdown while reading.
Your desktop SATA hdd's die before ROI.
And Telegram open network promises decentralized storage, i think after release storj coin dump in price

Wow I've never had a large HDD die in 10 months. Current ROI is 10 months on $100 drive. if you buy used for $80 then 8 months. The ROI on my GPU rig is almost 7 months (including $900 for motherboard, os, backup drive etc).

Last I checked it was a bunch of grown children running the burstcoin show arguing constantly and doxxing each other.
I sold off my drives I had bought for that purpose when I saw how deeply the cancer was rooted.
