I pick up pennies on the ground, pretty sure i'm making more than a miner.
Burstcoin isn't worth anything so you're probably right
I pick up plastic bottles and use the deposit on them to pay for lottery tickets. Even that yields more than the burstcoin mining. :D
Picking pennies from unsuspecting people is even more profitable
Whilst finishing college, I'd look under vending machines for loose change, on top of vending machines too, and even reach into couches / chairs for loose change … would find $150-$200 a semester this way... way more than a miner I guess?😂😂
i think doing nothing earns you more
Congratulations, the value has gone up by 50000% you are now the proud owner of 17$ worth of burst coin
minus the $300 you spend on electricity to mine it :)
Now 120 USD

Time to pack up on some HDD, before the price explodes.
Did you even watch the video? It took over 150TBs of HDD to make $100 in a month and the price of Burst has fallen by nearly half since they filmed this. No one with a functional brain is going to rush out and buy up hundreds/thousands of dollars worth HDDs to mine this crap.
conduit64 dont feed the trolls
Yeah it's not worth it unless you know someone from the inside knows the price will shoot up in a few months or you know a whale is planning to pump the price up. Since no one knows. It's better to stay away. At this situation miners should plan ahead instead of taking profits in daily or monthly and know that project will go big in a few years.
Crypto mining is dying. Only big companies make profit.
believe me people are retarded there was a lemonade company that changed its name to Black Chain and it's stock price tripled ... People are dumb that's just the way it is. Great now I expect HDD prices to be inflated.

Proof of burn=Send some of your coins to a place where you can't get back and no one can get it. The coins at this separated place are the weight used to pick the random winner.

@@sandk I'm not so sure. A little pressure on the likes of Tesla about supporting a non-green currency like BTC and a green alternative could fire.
And unlike Burstcoin, Chia has a pretty strong team behind them, so it might actually succeed.
@@CarthagoMike plus chia suppose to fix everything wrong with burtscion
Yeh, but no. Chia seems to have a very solid, and the hardware already exists to support it. It will all depend on the people that will build the infrastructure to make it viable. Because it's not a single person that buys a 10TB hard drive on their main rig and think that will be profitable. Nope. It will be people that will build data centers with dedicated machines that will see this throught. On a personal note, I hope it crash and burns. The mining industry has fucked up the pricing for this industry for the consumer side for years. We have everything overpriced and out of stock. This issue deserves ten paragraphs to go step by step on how fucked up we are, but we all know what they'll say, so i'll spare everyone from it.
Best part is that value of burst coin has fallen by over 50% since they recorded this

This just in: Linus causes hard drive shortage to add to the lack of GPUs and RAM.
You should have seen what it was like back in the days of mining Perk with smartphones, luckily only the really cheap smartphones were in demand so it had no impact on the availability of decent smartphones. It probably did end up causing some young kids to not get smartphones so early, which some say isn't so bad after all.

It's theoretically possible to "mine" with RTL-SDRs. You just plug a bunch of RTL-SDRs into a Raspberry Pi, connect them to an antenna, then run some software that allows others to pay a bit of crypto in exchange for locking a RTL-SDR to a given frequency for a given time. (The RTL-SDRs default to constantly scanning so that others will have an idea if it would even have a hope of receiving the signal they're interested in, before paying.) All we need is that software...

@@xirabolt Burstcoin is over 96% mined and everyone who made money on it made it literally 2 years before Linus' video even came out when almost no one was mining it. I remember "SIACOIN" was going to end up being an altcoin based on BURST, but ended up being a "cloud storage" service with cryptocurrency payment options.

Darcy Cardinal That’s not that bad. I know a ton of other shtcoins that lost a lot more.
Lol his rig drove up the complexity
now $0.012 and like a month ago it was over $0.02, so quadrupled again there for awhile. But regardless, if this is ever going to blow up, it would not be now, it would be later on with heavier bitcoin adoption when the energy costs start creeping beyond like 10% of human electricity and people start getting more and more furious about it.

"Killer" deals on Craigslist is too often quite literal.
You said it! Btw, isn't Mississippi in the top 3 for highest US murder rates?
Too often? Craigslist has about 60 million active users, sees 50 billion page views per month, and gets 80 million adds per month, give or take. There are possibly 200 deaths that can be attributed to the site in any way. Craigslist was founded in 1995, meaning that per year it's less than 9 deaths....
Giving that some perspective; in the United States, per year, approximately 20 people are killed by cows....
Long story short, Cows are VERY literally at least twice as deadly as Craigslist.....and in case my sarcasm isn't translating properly through my words, understand that I fully mean all of this with severe underlying sarcasm. As in you seem deluded by unfounded and inaccurate information, so I'm pointing out things that shouldn't really need being pointed out with a slightly belligerent frame of reference.

Hey glassinger! What are you doing here? I saw you recently posting again. I am a subscriber! Love your content.
Floppotron
Floppotron is what you do with old floppy drives, not the disks. I'd recommend saving the disks. Not for the AOL, but for the retro-computer community. Floppy disks of the 90's were far more reliable than the ones you'd pick up in boxes of 10 at Staples towards the end of the medium in the early 2000's. I reformat my old ones and reuse them.
Additionally, floppy isn't the best medium for scale operations like this, since your limitation to the number of floppy drives was the number of controllers and how many drives you could have on a controller.

I hope the mining hype ends soon. There are more cryptocurrencies than there are names for it. They increase pc costs and there are more and more websites that use the visitors pc power to mine.
Is that such a bad idea though? Using some of a visitors processing power while they are on the site instead of advertisements seems like a pretty fair deal to me.
Evan Anderson yeah extra stress on your hardware so it dies quicker or empties your laptops battery faster nice
Still, there's some sites I would gladly opt into that instead of obnoxious ads for.
This isn't new, and won't change. There were hundreds of altcoins back in 2013
+Roshan
Would you rather a load of advertisements that stress out the CPU and empty your laptops battery 3x faster?
Or would you rather have the website use like 10% of your CPU or GPU's processing power which would barely have any negative impact on your hardware over-all?
CPU's and GPU's can literally last forever. The only thing that kills them is heat, which laptops are generally known for getting so hot you could literally cook a egg on them...

I mine Burst for 2 years. Prices have increased in the last 3 months. Not sure why, but I don't think it has to do with Burst right now. It's averaging about $3 - $5 dollars per TB extra. It's worth it as the electricity is small and you don't need a fast computer that is unless your plotting which you want speed and threads.
R 3 to 5 dollars a day?
Monthly, probably.
Nathan Carbo sorry, price per TB. I average about $90 - $100 dollars a month. But, that's because of higher internet band with and speed of scans. But, Burstcoin losses 5% of profit a month. It's good, but it's a bust if your just getting into it. All profits for 18 months are positive. Now I wouldn't get into it at $0.02 a coin if your starting.

its possible to get clasified or prifate information from old hard drives so you shouldnt sell those.

J Lock bro it's not that way, it's just that these components are useful, the true power of a computer lies into GPUS and high end CPUS, they are required for research, movie making and high load graphics stuff, and obviously for gaming, so they dont want to sell you more stuff, it's just if you do particular work with your computer you just need their equipment :(
Damn it's almost as if a companies single main motivation is to earn profit

Yay now hard drive prices are going to go up...
Thanks linus
love you tho
If someone is going to buy hard drives to mine burstcoin, they will buy high end-high value enterprise drives so they won't have to replace them often. 40 dollar 1 terabyte drives probably won't go up in price. SSD's will 100% stay at the same price.(unless the nand shortage situation will change.)
Shiny Shinx I assume mining burstcoin will affect the drive and degrade it's performance, so miners will probably pick more high end, durable drives for better value.
Aditya PAram I mine burstcoin, I get 650$/month , power cost is 50/month.
Amd RyzenFan but how much did you pay for all those drives?
CoAddixt 50 tb
do u really need that much storage to install minecraft?
what are you talking about ?!
you can't even run mincraft on the lowest settings on that potato .
Have you even tried minesweeper at 480p potato?
IkingKwI I'm going to start mining Craftcoin on my smartphone! 😂
No but you do for RuneScape
IkingKwI if youre playing with 500 mods and a custom map... Welp, rip your PC XD
Hey Linus, you can actually mine multiple coins at the same time with the same plots. BHD makes a lot more money. You can mine along side Signum and with 500TB's, which is what I believe you used in this video, you would make over $650 a month. That's a lot more then you report in this video. Over the course of a year. With a 500BHD coin plege you would make nearly $8,000 in 12 months. That's way more then what you reported. I think bhd launched end of 2018 so ig it didn't exist when you made this video. Please make an update video and give hdd mining 1 more chance.
Update:
I checked a profitability calculator for mining chia and it says you can make $1,130 a month, around $13,560 per year using a 500TB rig. Again, I repeat... Please make another video about hdd mining.
What’s next? Minig with RGB lights?
You could have mining with internet speed.
There is also TONS of variations of the "mining using cryptocoins" idea.
Alex 0474 no companies already do that
I need a cryptocurrency that runs off my XBOX 360 that I don’t use anymore
I am sure if you unlocked developer mode on that thing making some modifications to a GPU miner would not be to terribly difficult.
Craftbloxroyale consoles typically don’t have the hardware for mining
Nonsense you need a GPU and an internet connection both of which the consoles excel in.
Yes and you get like a grand memory of what? 756mb? That´s what my 8 year old fucking Fermi card still has! Lmao. That´s definitely not enough for mining, not in your wildest dreams. And it´s the same for any other console too. Even *if* you set up your console hardware to mine, I hate to break it to you but: Even then you will *lack the POWER* and performance needed for mining. Once more only goes to show why consoles are pleb and PC master race ; )
While I don't really disagree 512mb of GDDR3 and 10gb of DRAM should be enough for your basic mining. It might not be a fortune maker but then again no GPU is anymore due to ASICs. Would not really stop alt coin mining and working up with that. Might turn a profit that way but these were made to be game consoles... they eat power, not exactly designed for these sort of things but I doubt its impossible.
What a great time for this to show up in my feed.
You must have seen a video about chia coins not that long ago then. Maybe GamerNexus, Pauls Hardware or J2C? I think all 3 covered it like a week or two ago.
@@alphapt9370 Yea, I don't remember which channel I saw it on. I think it was techlinked maybe?
Lol then we use the Burst coin to pay the stupid high electricity bill so we go even
Benjamin Lafever buy solar panels.
burst barely uses any electricity
Nope the hardware barely uses anything, go read about how burst mining works.
Mining with Hard drives? What’s next mining in Minecraft?
Let me introduce you to Minecraft were u mine to get stuff
one ruble per dimon, selling now! plz buy
This needs an update please, check out Chia blockchain.
What does that thing in his pocket do? Why he is always pressing a button there?
I don't know how much more linus nonchalantly reaching toward his crotch I can stand to watch.
I think he uses that thing to synchronize his voice and video recording. Though I am not sure about it.
he is pressing the forward on his telepromter
No he is not.....because he cant read.
Is THAT what it is or is he paying homage to Michael Jackson?
Submerge the server in mineral oil
submerge it in mercury for a 0.0000000000000000000001% thermal performance increase
submerge in liquid nitrogen for 1000000000000 X cooling
Spectra Or even better absolute zero cuz why the fuck not LOL
OiL
And season to taste.
2021: here we go again
Could you run 3 miners on the one system? A cpu miner, a gpu miner and a hdd miner
You'd be pretty strapped for resources, but it's possible. I know several Burst miners who use their GPU for plotting, then let it mine some other coin once plotting is complete.
I do exactly this.
I wish I could do that too but in LA now and electricity cost sucks. but its just fine for HDD mining
Might as well get your own powerplant at that point to decrease energy costs
Get ready to pay the electricity bill!
POV: you’re here 3 years later because of Chia Coin
POV: You are here because you tried to purchase a HDD and found it unavailable anywhere. Then you found out about the next Cryptocurrency fad.
loving the longer intro, it helps me skip the Linus ads a lot easier
*cough*
Might be a thing after all
*looks at Bittorrent inventor*
The only cryotocurrency I mine is minecraft
Toby Schmieden I don’t remember writing this
Cryprocraftency
🤣
Because u're stupid.

People are worried about hdd price?? Companies have been buying in bulk for their server and cloud storage why would people think the price are going to get affected?
The question is, can you execute at least ONE application from Cloud Storage without even downloading them?
That's why people worried about hdd price. Cloud storage are supposed to store ur data, but you CAN'T execute a program through Cloud Storage. Besides, it's impossible tho
i mine with my thermal paste!!
6:17 did i just have a stroke or did that box just frame perfect open itself
