<center>**Oh I wish!**</center>

<center>It is actually kinda **complicated**, but hey - more coins for minority of people who didnt lose **hope**. I am in the process of **plotting** my HDDs right now and that will take a while so I will tell you my experiences with the **Burst coin** now.</center>

<center>So first of, what is **Burst**? It is cryptocurrency that uses the **unique algorithm called Proof of Capacity** (POC), which utilizes your unused **hard disk drive space** instead of your processor or graphics card to mine **BURST**. Miners pre-generate individual chunks of data known as 'plots' which are then saved to disk. This individual data just proofs your capacity and is never sent to anyone else. **Traffic requirements for mining are therefore extremely low.**</center>

<center>**That sounds great!**</center>

<center>Lets download the **wallet** here: https://www.burst-team.us/index.php/wallets </center>

<center>There are wallets for Windows, Linux, Android and more. **It is everywhere!**</center>

<center>**Oh** the wallet - In my opinion it is **horrible**. It never works and is always **crashing**. Maybe the problem is that it is still downloading the **blockchain**, but still. It should not **crash every second**. And you need **Java** for the wallet to work **properly**.

<center>After install you can choose **local** or **online** wallet. You will then copy the passphrase and save it somewhere. If you choose **local wallet** as I did, you should download the **blockchain** by yourself from the official site as it would take a **year to download** it inside the wallet!</center>

<center>This is a classic view for me! **Wallet not responding!**</center>

<br>
<center>But after you log-in it looks **kinda nice**</center>

<center>![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbKUztcJofcp42Ruw7aXMLot6ySVkKEkUDrotrKFPB7nP/image.png)</center>

<center>Now you have to **plot your HDDs**. </center>

<center>Do you really **think** it will take **like an hour** and then you can mine Burst?</center>

<center>**Haha, of course not!**</Center>

<center>A **5TB external hard drive** could take potentially more than few days to plot.</center>

<center>This cryptocurrency is really not for **weaklings.**</center>

<center>So you click to **write plots** and this screen will show up.</center>

<center>![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcxstFXdFJ8HgNeaBaGiuFkFbvkW8a5EKdJs3UZhCg3B3/image.png)</center>

 <center>I give you advice though. If you want to plot **5TB HDD** you should plot **1TB five times** as there is less chance something bad happen and having more plots on one HDD does not reduce your mining speed or anything.</center>

<center>![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdj9sVcDVM28AX6zd8D4zRt5hzC2XeGKiz1pPpSigndGv/image.png)</center>

<center>Then you see it working in the background and It will tell you when it is over. If I am not mistaken, you can close it and it will know where to continue so you will not lose your progress! **So that is good!**</center>

<br>
<center>**Good luck!**</center>
<center>I will be back after **all the plotting** and tell you more **about the mining**...</center>
<center>**If my head doesnt explode!**</center>
<br>
**Thanks!**
