Hi guys!

Like many of you guys ive mined with GPUs for over two years now, not on a mig scale, but as a hobby since i love the hardware parts of computers. Ive also used CPU mining, even tho its not profitable atm its still doable if you pick the right coin and hope to god it increases in value. If it doesnt, hey who cares. It was fun mining!
Anyway to the point.

I recently took up HDD mining. Or HDD Staking. Whatever you want to call it.
I did some research, and what i found out there are two big players here, Storj and Burst. For what ever reason i decided to try Storj. Since im a hardware freak i had about 30TB of harddrives laying around in my home, and now im completly set up and started mining.

There is not much about it on this forum, and the posts/topics that relate to HDD minig are outdated. Thats why i wanted to start this one.

What might i expect? Is it profitable? Is it laughable? Is the coin i chose "Storj" a joke?

Let me hear your inputs, toughts and maybe share some of your experience as we all always do in this community!

Wow, that's quite a lot of space you have there. Doesn't SiaCoin offer something similar? From what I've read, you basically share your HDDs by letting others use your allocated space and in return you are receiving SiaCoin, is it the same thing as the one you are mentioning?
