Burstcoin is a blockchain platform that categorizes itself as ' ecological '. This is due to the use of an algorithm that catalog PoC or proof-of-capacity, which allows to undermine its criptoactivos using the free space of the device hard disk, unlike other criptomonedas that to be mined would require enormous GPU processing power, which leads to a lower consumption of resources and electricity. This algorithm reminds us of the one who plans to develop the BitTorrent platform creator, Bram Cohen, whom he called the space Test, by also mining from the free space of the hard disk, although not from mobile phones.
According to the official website of Burstcoin, while a Bitcoin transaction consumes 175 kw/h (kilowatt hours), with the use of PoC, Burstcoin consumes 0.4 KWh, which shows that, when consuming less electricity, in fact, are a platform blockchain Ecological.
For that savings Burstcoin proposes the possibility of mining burstcoins from a cell phone. By using the free space of both the mobile phone and SD cards, the physical integrity of the device is not compromised, leaving aside the risk that exists with other applications to shorten the life of the cell, as well as to reheat it
