Hi to everybody , I not understud if mining burst I need only space (hdd).Have I also need a compueter with certain characteristics? in case such property shall have to mining burstcoin? Thanks very much, sorry for my "English"!
Huh
There is a problem in burst mining which is plotting , if you have a large space on your hdd before mining on them you need to do one time job called plotting before mining on your space , after some experience with burst mining you need a gpu on your pc to do this plotting fast if it's a large space, a low end cpu can make this plotting in days.

 Took me less than 2 days (more like 30 hours IIRC) to plot most of a 3GB drive with an AMD A10-5700 - JUST using 3 cores of the CPU.

 GPU plotting can be quite a bit faster if you have a mid-to-high end recent GPU though (I tried it with one of my HD7750s, that was SLOWER than using the A10 as I recall though not by a lot).


 One trick that helps some - plot smaller files at a time, then you can mine while you're plotting on the completed plot files.

You just need HDD space, the more the better.  As previously mentioned you do have to plot the space which takes some time... but it's only one time and you can even do it in segments and start mining while plotting if you chose. There are a couple of great websites and many videos with everything you need:

burst-team.us

burstnation.com

BURST has to chance to be huge imo.

Also consider Storj, which seems to be more profitable if you only have a limited amount of space.

You don't need a strong computer, I believe just an x86 machine and able to run the program. Windows will be fine a weak cpu and low ram will be fine as well.

I have just read this thread about hdd mining for burst. I do not know how to mine and run this soft? Please tell me where to mine and download this coin software. Thank you.
