Yes we have been doing well mining Burst coin and everyone should start mining Burst as it's easy to get started.
It would be even easier if there was a decent LINUX-based miner.
AFAIK the only one available is that JAVA-based "GPU assisted" thing, which I can't use as all the GPUs in my LINUX rigs are dedicated to running OTHER mining stuff, while the CPUs generally sit pretty much idle.

None are as user-friendly as Win stuff, but shouldn't pose any problems for someone experienced in *nix
