Thanks for clarifying this. I have spent like 40 hours setting up miners in the last week and it seems like every single day I learn something that sets me back 10 steps. Honestly, I really like Burstcoin and I think this is going places. But jeez it is hard to keep up and get everything in line initially. I think this all needs to be resolved before this coin can really take off. On a plus side, I have learned a lot about how it works in the time spent.
I am going to be writing a tutorial soon with all the info I have learned. Seems like documentation for a full circle mining solution is limited. Especially when you start to talk having multiple miners. Stay tuned...!
U choose to make your life difficult. There is a very easy and profitable way to get burst than mining it.
1. Sell ur HDD that u intend to use it for mining
2. Use the money to buy BTC (Low price now)
3. Use the BTC to buy burst
4.
?
5. Profit
U get much more burst buying instead of mining.
At price of 280 , 1 BTC can get u about 360,000 burst.
1 BTC is $400,
$400 can get about 12 TB.
1 TB get u about 710 burst, ok lets pump it up , make it 800 burst.
12 TB will get u 9,600 burst per day. (

In order to get 360,000 burst, u will need about 37.5 days. (that is if difficulty don't raise and u are lucky to get 800 burst per TB per day)
Not to mention the hours u need to spend setting up mining and monitoring it daily.
Buying is even more profitable when price goes below 200. At price of 140 , u will need more than 70 days to get equal amount of burst.
