Is there anyway that we can rent out our Harddrive space while mining?



  • OK guys I know that a plot file fill up space. So how about the plot file reserve only 10% of your capacity to only calculate nounces, and adjust the block reward to make it 10x higher ( to make the amount of rewards equivalent to what we mine now). The rest of space is rented out.

    Example...

    1. Make a plot file size of 10TB.

    2. 1TB is reserve (in Plotfile) for calculating nounces and make it equivalent to mining 10TB by adjusting the Block reward 10x higher.

    3. The rest of your capacity (also in the Plot file which would be 9TB left) is rented out on the platform as cloud storage for users/businesses.

    Do anyone see any issues with this? Although it maybe needed to make Fork of Burstcoin for a project like that or somehow implemented in the code.



  • @Wolf i think you have the answer already .. if you plot less you will leave some capacity to be "rented" .. which is why i think this was never implemented.. it also helps hedge your portfolio.. if this one new fork of a coin goes down you lose but if you are still gaining other coins elsewhere that arent directly tied you can lessen the blow for example .. i think .. im no programmer but i do not see the need for a better mouse trap



  • i do like that you are thinking about it though.. i am not telling you , you are wrong or right.. but i am offering an uneducated opionion
