Is there any benefit if I use faster HD/SSD or only the capacity is considered?

If you can get through the whole plot on a HD before the next block is initiated, you're fine - otherwise you lose a little.

Generally though, a SSD is way overkill for the required speed and THEY COST TOO MUCH to be worth using in BURST mining.

Ccminer, what are the numbers these days, how many TBs you have mining? I saw the price peaked last days, so what are the new profitability and ROI? I can't find working calculator for Burst :/ Since I saw this thread for first time I am considering to build small hard drive mine, and with the latest price think the profit is going to be not so afar from gpu mining as it was before. I remember best choice were external hard drives with 4/5TB capacity, is it still so? Any other advises, like what mobo, cpu, etc. to choose would be appreciated. Regards

HI there,

with the current price the ROI increased quite a lot in comparison with when I started, in a nice day I can make up to 100 EURO+ with my 415TB
yeah external HD with usb 3, try not to spend more than 27 USD per TB.
Mobo try to get one with at least 4 USB 3 port, CPU with as many core and thread as possible.

is this calculator accurate? http://explorer.burstnation.com/calculator
Using this with 315tb, I get a gross income of 1.29 BTC per month or about $2200.

Calculator is a little optimistic, like all of the BURST calcs I've tried it seems to overstate your income 30-50% - probably due to inaccurate estimates of the actual total network TB pointed at BURST.

I suspect a lot of the inaccuracy in the total BURST network TB estimates are due to folks like me with multiple machines pointing at the same address, that only get reported as the size of ONE of the machines (and not always the highest capacity one!).

BURST is also very "streaky", so don't look at one day or even one week of figures as a baseline for comparison.

ROI consideration:

315tb / 5tb = 63 drives.

12000 k burst (average) is about 19/20 usd per day.

5tb cost 140/160 usd.

Total investment 9450 usd
Income per month 600 usd.

ROI in 15,75 month (Im not calculating electricity cost)

Just for information..

look at the date of the post you quoted, his math was based on the old value of burst, roi is better now

what is the most cost effective way to burst mine>?

In my opinion is with usb 3.0 external, they are a bit cheaper and easier to install than SATA, and far away cheaper than SSD

what is the current best software for plotting and mining?

With a large numbers of drives is better to use a GPU assisted miner to decrease the reading time and increment your chances to find a block

What is the maximum amount of drives linked to one machine possible, I guess its limited by PSU more then other factors ? Is it possible also to use the GPU for burst some of the time and also have the GPU involved other mining besides burst or is that too disruptive as burst always requires the GPU immediately.
In ROI you could also include depreciation and the asset worth of the standing stock

The maximum number reall depends on your motherboard!
If you mine with the GPU assisted miner, that is the best and fastest one, I say that you can not miner other coins with the same GPU.
The ROI like all the crypto depends by many factors, price against BTC, BTC price, trade volumes, network total capacity, difficulty readjustment, etc

Must consider the computers to mine and the delivery costs

What specs are the hard drives? Rpm and brand name specifically cause I want to try and do this HD mining.
Thanks if you could be detailed and setup configuration. Raid?

I use SEAGATE D3 STATION external HDD usb 3.0 4TB and 5TB.

The sweet spot for drives right now is probably the Seagate Archive 8GB model.

"shingled recording" is a perfect fit for BURST since you only write the drive once and read it many times.

SSD is a major MINUS for BURST mining as the drives are way expen$$$$ive per TB making it almost impossible to ever achieve ROI on them.

Drive SPEED isn't a significant factor, as you're almost always going to be limited to how fast your decoding hardware can go.
Definitely NOT a factor when running a CPU-based miner, even my 8-core rig with AVX can only manage less than 20% of the decode MB/s that the drives themselves can do on transfer rate.
This might not be the case if you are using a HIGH END GPU to do the decode work with, on the order of an AMD RX 480 or a Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB or higher - but you'd make a TON more money doing GPU mining with such a card anyway.

Hi guys I want to share with you the evolution of our BURSCOIN mining farm.

We currently have 315TB and 100TB will be ready very soon, for a total of 415TB!!
I really do not know how many TB we will be able to add at the end, but I can tell you that for now we have no intention to stop this project

it's very nice . I love this farm . I also want to find a good GPU cards to build a small rigs and I 'm very impressive with your farm.

Thank you, as I wrote before I would like to integrate with GPU as well but it takes time because I have to do it abroad due to the costs of electricity here! I already have some possibilities but for now it's just talk!
