Hello Friends!

I was experimenting with the light and my green screen but I think the sound at least was ok

So in this video I express my toughs about burst coin mining and its future mostly...

I said it many times in my videos that 2018 was a hard year...this was a small part of it...
As the months pass by from January to February until now I saw bitcoin in a free fall and with it the other coins as well.
As I was on the sea I had to stop my miner after two months and come with some decisions, like that I stopped it all and now my miner is a beautiful pc used for gaming and rendering, and editing videos.

I enjoyed making my miner and I was so happy making posts and videos about upgrading my miner:

At first I was thinking that after my long contract I can do some damage control and when I will be home I can take care of the issues.

But in 7 months that I was away the issues with burst grew more and more:

burst nation site RIP - doesn't exist anymore
burst casino bankrupt
burst assets .....what assets?
burst block reward 659 (maybe less now)
ddos -ed pools
fights in the community
the value of the coin was damaged severally

I believed and still believe in the idea of this coin but for it to be mined it needs an innovation not a fix or a patch .
I mean the very concept of burst coin was unique proof of capacity mining ( not hoisting like filecoin or gpu mining like siacoin ) but the pure mining of your hard drives.
This concept attracted me a lot because I hate the noise that is made from the ASIC miners and gpu (is less but still noisy). Do not get me wrong I love mining but at the time HDD mining is what pull me into burstcoin.
And so I made my first miner...at the time 4 TB and I was making 100-200 burst per day (more or less) and once every 3rd or 4th day I was hitting a block and it was so much fun...a quiet miner mostly idle that was mining burstcoin.

At that time the block reward was more than 3200 burst

I made my miner in the end of 2017 and beginning of 2018 and per day I was making 70-100 burst and hitting a block almost once per week (not every single time because my experiment lasted about 2 months with full 33 TB miner)

These returns are not acceptable...and this is the truth I had to stop because the reality is that is more simple to buy the coin than to mine it.
But in the same time I am worried that this coin is damaged beyond repair.
The fights within the community really had an impact to the coins price.
But as people appear and disappear ...the coin still exists and it waits to be re-invented or re-imagined

I cannot give you my reader hope or too much despair, the truth is that I don't know for sure what will happen but in the same time I cannot lie to myself in believing that my micro rig of 33 tb is enough to mine it no it is not...
Other users from the community also stopped mining burst such as the user Imineblocks and that also had a decisive impact on my decision to stop burst coin mining. (his miner was 100+ TB)

So that was my thoughts on the matter I hope that it can help you .
