I was introduced to crypto-currencies, in general, and BURST, in particular, about 5 months ago and at least 3 months ago, respectively. No proper prior orientation and meaningful guidance was obtained, except for being driven by sheer enthusiastic curiosity.
I have heavily relied on faucets and one giveaway so far, and have not embarked on mining for reasons elaborated in some other post right here in this forum. Last week, there were free BURST given to miners, as promoted in one particular post, but I commented in appreciation of the generous sentiment, regardless of the fact that I was not mining myself, yet. Surprisingly, the person who made that post decided to give me some BURST, anyway, regardless of the fact that I never made a request. A 100 free BURST was such a noble gesture.
Furthermore, I received a chat message from another member again, a little unfamiliar to me, who expressed their surprise that I had solely relied on faucets, without any mining whatsoever, yet I was very passionate about the BURST coin, as clearly suggested by the posts I have already made to date as an active forum member. This person was rather impressed by my enthusiasm, regardless of my current mining disposition, that they offered me some BURST, and they asked for my wallet address. Once again, I thanked them for their generous consideration, and this particular person gave me 800 BURST! This was such a major boost, given the fact that some faucets have dropped their daily payout lately.
Also, unknown to some members of this forum, and the very people who were spontaneously generous to me, to my awesome surprise, is the fact that I had put some BURST in some mining website with the sincere hope of getting something out of it. Unfortunately, some days down the line, that website was down. A query was also instantly tweeted, but there was no response from the website owners whatsoever. Quite frankly, the free BURST I received from these two individuals covered a significant portion of my loss.
Furthermore, prior to my active involvement with BURST, I had experienced another loss with Bitcoin. As gullibly naive as I was, I fell some HYIP which promised a 100% interest on the same day. Nothing was received out of it altogether. I lost the satoshi, and sincerely relied on faucets which appeared to be reliable and consistent, despite the fact that they paid real "dust coins". Yet again, I am still venturing another Bitcoin mining website, with the hope that this one will be of integrity. Balance is accumulated daily, and the first payout is expected in a couple of weeks, although the mining capacity is measured in KH/s. This, in my view, is substantially insignificant compared to GH/s or TH/s of other mining websites, yet commendable for modest mining affordability.
Briefly, I am zealous to expand and grow, and gather opportunities, no matter how small, as long as I can move forward, until I can afford something much greater and humongous.
Once again, thank you BURST community for all your generous support, whether sentimental or otherwise.
You all have a great day!
