Really?  What's your calculation of where the price of BURST will be 6 months to a year from now?

You also have to figure in if you're buying drives they will also have some resale value.  Mining BURST is relatively low impact on them.

I started with 100 GB and plotted my way up to about 12 TB... I've mined almost 50,000 coins in about 2 months.  It obviously is going to get tougher with more people mining and pre set diminishing returns...don't wait!

No, he meant using janror's GPU plotter to plot HDDs. New AVX2 CPUs also work quite nice for plotting purposes.

but what s the cheapest way to plot? what hardware?

GPU with nvidia processors

Well plot takes just few hours to a day if you have a decent GPU so it is not expensive per se

I have just only 162 GB. I joined lexitoshi's pool. But I received nothing. I want to try other pools

I tried to mine it with 250 gb but it took a lot of time to get rewards,the mining activity is two years old,many are now mining it and that 162 gb is useless,although it can be mine by any body we still need to upgrade our equipment,a storage with 1 tb is a good start,just try to mine in a good pool ..

Hmm, idk https://forums.burst-team.us/ works just fine for me.

You can find most of the people in the chat room in my sig

For the price right now its not really worth buying HDD, if you do some simple calculation it take about 3 years to recover what you invested and worse the block reward is dropping 5% every month.

I am personally buying burst right now for investment instead of HDD. We never know when it take off and HDD is pretty unique type of POW.
