What you are looking at below is images (poorly taken) of an HP Pavilion p6714y that has been converted to a Burst Coin mining rig. Burst coin is a crypto coin mined via empty hard drive space. The way it works is you plot your hard drive, set up your miner, and start mining. Plotting your hard drive writes the answers to the equations asked by the blocks, normally with traditional crypto, the block calls the equation and your CPU or GPU or ASIC if you happen to have one, solves it. With Burst Coin, the CPU or GPU, yes you can plot with either, does it once and saves it to the drive and when the block asks the equation, the miner simply reads the plot and submits the nonce. This mining rig only has 5 TB but that will still make a bit of extra passive cash.
Nice rig, did you build it?
Factory built but i put in a few extra drives
Awesome might have to give it a try thank you for a awesome Steem post,
I have this question. In setting this rig wherein you have an initial 5TB drive. In case you decide to add another drive, what to do when we already set the mining on the existing drive.
Forgive if my question if its too dumb :)
If youre asking what i think you're asking, if you wanted to add another drive, simply plot it, and add it to your miner config.
Cool rig! There's no better use for an old computer than to mine Burst.
