I just wanted to weigh in on what may be holding Burst back. First off, let's be honest - Burst coin is awesome! It brings a whole new kind of miners to the game. No more stupid SHA-256 USB miners, Scrypt kiddies, no more major investment in over-priced graphics cards that will drop in value quicker than you can say "Karmacoin"...
Burstcoin is revolutionary - it takes what virtually every computer user already has (HDD space), and allows you to make a few bucks off of it. It is the first of its kind. This is why it has BOGGLED me on why there is not more adoption among the community. Is it because all the typical miners and the typical community members are already heavily invested Bitcoin miners, Scrypt miners, Graphics Card mining, straight CPU mining??? Quite possibly...
Burst has been out about 2 months and while improvements have been made, we are not even close to being a common name in the 'Altcoin' world. Plotting/Optimizing/Staggers/Mining is misunderstood and confusing. This is to be expected with a new era of mining and I accept that.
All of this being said, I would like to present my two main points that Burst needs asap to be successful.
We need some serious media coverage. I am talking about mainstream techy websites and news sites to reach all of the nerds that hold hard drive space. Wired.com, Gizmodo, cNET, TheVerge, Toms Hardware, EnGadget, TechCrunch, PCMag, etc etc etc. [/b]These sites cater to a tech enthusiast crowd who are familiar with Bitcoin, have likely looked in to it, but think they are removed because they do not want to drop a ton of money on some fancy mining machine that has no other purpose. Present them a way that they can get involved with the 'Bitcoin Rush' using equipment that they already have, ie lots of TBs, and they would be ecstatic to get involved!! Who knows, maybe they would bring a few genius dev's along as well...
Ease of use. I know this is still being worked on, but we need easier tools to plot/optimize/mine. Install wallet, set Reward assignment, receive coin to legitimize (oopss, faucets empty?), Stagger size this, GPU plot that, optimize what, java hog who, confusing confusing confusing. Click and go type stuff is needed.
Ok all, I just had to get my suggestions out there. I would like to thank anyone who has helped me get started over the last month and all Dev's/Pool owners who have been involved in the last month. Getting up and going has been a fun challenge for me and I am looking forward to the future of mining Burst coin.
Let's get this baby going while we still have the element of surprise ("I didn't know you could earn Bitcoin with spare hard drive space???") and a lot of upside.
+1 good points, please someone do that
and also move some question or discussion to reddit, because reddit is more open to public, put some onr/cryptocurrency ,r/cryptorigporn/ , etc. so public will start questioning what is burst.
and also please someone contact max keiser, and put burst to his show, also contact some crypto news site
