50% drop since I last bought BURST. HDD mining might not be on demand yet, I still see big solutions coming ahead with CPUs similar to what magi has been working on in the last few weeks. Except without worrying about hdd issues as others have discussed here.
I think a lot of the issues with HDD mining have been made more complex by a few factors. The first people rushing to mine without taking the time to learn how to set it up correctly. The second, trying to tweak settings to unreal expectations. I currently am running 15 rigs, with various operating systems, and some on 10 year old servers, with 10 year old hard drives. This being said, I have had one drive fail, and it was more than likely going bad when I installed it in the host. To comment on the price, this coin is still fairly new, and it has a strong community, and a a solid dev behind it. One of the things that is hurting all crypto's is the amount of coins released daily, and all the pumps and dumps. I have felt BURST would be a mid to long term hold since it was introduced. The coin is going to have to maintain through all the FUD, and price swings, that come from an easily manipulated market. I think there many more good things coming from this coin, the main thing is to keep a solid community behind it, and an active dev. i do not think it is a good choice if you want to "get rich quick". I say this as I think about all the pizza's bitcoin bought. I think as a community we need to focus more on implementation at this point, here and on the burtstcoin forum.
