I personally haven't got into assets yet (most likely will in the near future).  But the BURST community is probably bigger than you think and  it's rapidly growing.

Uhhh, what did I miss?

I saw the thread was made in November this year 

You are right about the Burst community rapidly growing and more and more people in this community are buying assets every day. 2017 will be a big year for Burst and the assets will only get bigger as more interest in them grows. I think that is already starting to happen as we speak. Just ask ccminer his asset has completely sold out in just over 1 month, that is 600,000 assets @10 Burst coins each and I believe there are around 100 people holding this asset. That is just one asset and there are many others where the assets have sold out with many people holding them. So it is growing larger each day and like I have been saying now is the best time to get in.

Well, Burst isn't quite so new as that.  The chain has been going for well over a year now.  Mining burst is a quick scan of all the plots.  While you're mining it takes a bit of cpu power (5-100%, depending on how many drives you have), but that only happens while your drives are being read, typically 20-40 seconds, again, depending on how many drives you have.

So yes, mining Burst is trivial amount of power cost.  Plotting drives is processor intensive, and can take days or weeks depending on how many drives you need to plot.  But plotting is a 1-off deal, so again, power costs are trivial.

You'll get paid on all 10 that you own. The dividend payouts go to the owner of the asset, as your sell order hasn't been fulfilled, you're the owner and will be paid.

-[ANNouncement]- BURST project management system released!

A new way to look at jobs, completing work, project management, and crowdfunding!


That's right folks, I'm pleased to announce today, the BURST project management system hosted on CIYAM Open platform!

(Compliments to the CIYAM developers. By the way, to those who aren't aware, the CIYAM developers are the ones who developed the world's FIRST Smart Contract system, that BURST implemented. Many other World Firsts that BURST accomplished, were all due to the capabilities in BURST made possible by the CIYAM developers.)


What this platform is... is a totally new way to look at many aspects of project management, crowdfunding, development, and jobs!

We, as a community developed project, highly appreciate donations, but until now, it has been difficult to track your donation and make sure it is actually doing some good. But now, you don't have to have these types of worries! You can immediately track the funding you donate, and donate specifically to the project area you would like to.

The way the funding works, is a trickle-down effect... The structure is as follows...

MAIN PROJECT

-Project Area

  -child project area (or task if no child area is needed)

      -task

each of these has a wallet address attached, shown (for donations contributed), and balance of this address is shown as well. The funding from the main project, is what will trickle down to the areas below, and the funding in the project areas, will trickle down to the child areas, or the tasks.


The platform is capable of replacing a roadmap, becoming an active roadmap for anyone to look at and analyze. No more will we need to post what is being worked on in another page for people to see, this platform, you'll be able to go, look at the things we are looking to have done, and things that are in progress currently! We will no longer be putting things up that end up changing, and making it look like we just didn't complete them, we will only be putting jobs up that we are looking to actually have completed, then everyone will be able to look at it, and see what is going on, and watch the jobs getting done.


Not only that, but...

This system is also a way for the team to accept crowdfund-style donations. If you're interested in helping the community developed project that is BURST, you will be able to see the project, project area, and task funding wallets, and are encouraged to donate to them!

The best way to donate is to the overall project, or project area, but if you'd like to donate to specific task, you can, as long as the task isn't in progress, as that would mean the job has already been accepted by the person that will complete it, therefore a donation to that particular task isn't necessary.


A new way for people to be paid for work! -

The CIYAM open project management platform, is a place people can go, to find jobs they believe they could complete, submit a 'dib' for the job, complete it, and get paid for it!

The way this works, is as follows...

- person looking for a job to be paid to complete, goes to the platform... creates and activates an account, as a 'contributor'. (if you're using gmail, their server is currently blocking emails from CIYAM Open, so please message me and I'll have the account manually activated. If you have anything other than gmail for an email account you can use for this, please use that.)

- the person finds a job they believe they could complete.

- the person submits a 'dib' on the job.

- project manager (in this case, myself) will either accept or deny the person's dib. The dib will include an estimated completion date.

- if dib is accepted, the person completes the job, marks it complete, the project manager will review and test the job to make sure it was completed, then give the person the payment in the wallet associated with the task.


EVERY TASK, PROJECT AREA, AND PROJECT ITSELF, HAS A WALLET ATTACHED!

This means, that not only can people see the funds that are currently available for the overall project, areas, and tasks, but they can also help fund these things, and see what each job will be paid upon completion.


You can find the BURST project here...(only funds that are there currently, were put there thanks to @nameless and his FAD asset's first payout, Thanks @nameless for that! More funding will show soon, and we are officially accepting donations starting now!)

It is indeed growing I just discover it last month.not only me I saw some comments from bitcoin talk users thanking that they've discovered Burstcoin,I think everyday they generate new holders and investors,Burst coin hopefully will stay longer.

Great shit!  I'm stoked to be a burst bagholder

Hey guys,

Burst holder for a while here, but new to mining it. Which plotter do people recommend, and which miner? I'm on Windows 10 and have about 1gb of space I'd like to plot.

Any recommendations appreciated. I looked at the mining video from the website but it's for plotting with the old plotter included in the wallet (can't see the same button in the webgui type wallet I have (1.2.7))

You don't NEED at least 1TB...but the more HDD space utilized the better obviously.  I think I started with 100GB and almost immediately hit a block worth 1200+ coins (lucky I guess).
