Re: [ANN] - NEW BURST OP - MINE WITH YOUR HDD - ATs, AE, P2P MARKETPLACE, and MORE!
@Lenore @crowetic and @pinballdude:
Thanks for your replies. I have now clarified my doubts regarding the asset dividends payouts. About ByteEnt, I just invested in it a week ago and considering that payment is monthly, then I will be patient for next months dividends. So far I have invest into Playgrounds, ByteEnt and Playgrounds 3 asset. But will continue to invest more into them as well as buy shares from Income asset and my portfolio will be complete.
Will all that is happening in Burst, I might consider making a HDD mining farm someday. I will be really could to have one instead of an ASIC farm.

I hope to see more investors like you to support this coin and give it value and reason.
If you plan on starting a small farm and do not want to buy a load of equipment unless you already have it. Have a USB 3.0 port. Found some samsung 5TB 3.0 external hard drives on newegg. Picked one up for oI think it was 121.xx shipped. Guess it would depend on how log you plan on being in burst.
Can confirm that USB3 drives (I run almost my entire 70+ TB on USB with individual ports on internal controller cards in a rackserver.) run just as well as internal drives do. Though, I've not really tested them when running via a USB3 hub. Mine all run on direct ports via USB3 controller SATA cards, or on the board's controller directly.
I think it works pretty good.
Have plotted around 1TB on it so far and have another 1TB plotting now. Doesnt take any longer then on a normal HDD. I am still wondering if a USB 2.0 would work with the correct drivers. If so that would make space even cheaper.
Also I found a few dual bay drive duplicaors. Stated to hold 2 HDDs for either storage or duplication. 3.0 as well and only run like $20. Capable of up to 10TB. and can use SATA I, II, or III. So a bunch of hard drives laying around could be useful.
Still would like to try using hosting for mining. Find one that has unlimited space and mine till they kick you off. lol
