Mint Burstcoins in an environmental friendly way using your free disk space. Low power mining using the spare capacity on your hard drive.

Burstcoin Mining

If you've ever thought about having a go at mining your own supply of coins but worry about soaring electricity bills, global warming and burning out those precious chips on your one and only laptop, (the one which is your lifeline to the world & the Steemit community) you could become one of Snow White's Seven Dwarves with BurstCoin. (They were miners.)

"What Burstcoin Say"

How to mint your own digital money and secure the network. The BURST mining system is unlike any other coin in existence. It is based on using your existing free space on your hard drive, to mine coins. Because of this, it is naturally more decentralized, and very low on power usage. The difference between mining and simply running your computer not mining is so negligible, you will not notice a difference on your power bill.

Due to the nature of the mining, and the fact that it is mineable most efficiently and cost effectively mined on consumer grade storage hardware, the coin lends itself to being much more decentralized by design. Everyone has free hard drive space, and purchase of another drive specific for BURST mining, is a very small cost. Since the mining process itself doesn’t take much power (as hard disks only average <5W power, just like charging a mobile phone) it makes sense to mine just because you can.

Burst is for everyone.

ASICS can never be more efficient than a home user whose spare HDD space is mining in the background when their computer is turned on.

This opens the door to the general public in a way that had never been possible before with other more ‘traditional’ style mined crypto-currencies. The mining process is very easy on hardware, and to date not a single piece of hardware has been reported to have issues due to the BURST mining process running on it. This means that you won’t have to worry about burning up your CPU or GPU like you would if you were mining the other types of algorithms.

How much can you earn?

There is no good way to calculate what you are going to earn today or tomorrow. Most of it is luck. You can go months without finding any blocks and suddenly you find 10 blocks in a single week. Everybody has good and bad days and there is no way to predict them. To get an estimate of how much you earn long term you can go to: http://burstcoin.biz/calculator. To use it you simply input your mining capacity. You don't need to change any of the other numbers. They are calculated from the last block. You are able to change them to see how you are going to perform in the future.
