@RichBC Looks pretty good. Do you have a YouTube Channel or anything?

@RichBC nice rig my friend....how I hope I can get cheap harddrives here.... the price of hard drives here where I live is ridiculous ....haiz....
-
@JackManMania with that price I think it's better to set a gpu rig for mining other crypto .... and exchange it for burst....that's what I'm doing right now.... hmm I dunno where u live..... maybe your electricity cost is higher there....:)

@evilfire I am looking for a coin to GPU Mine. I did mine ZEC, but it went downhill and I was making no profit. My electric is $0.19 per KW/h. Do you have any good coins that are easy to GPU mine?

I hate to answer it this way but you are asking if anyone saw a unicorn because you would like to pet it and hope if poops out gold nuggets. Your largest challenge is $.19 a KW/HR. That's double the average cost of US energy and 4 to 10 times that of far east energy. Add to that the cost of gear to GPU mine and I would estimate your ROI in the 900 day range IF you can stay on top of it.
I recommend you continue to focus on the BBrowser and develop the best browser the community has ever seen.

@IceBurst Yeah I see what you mean.

@JackManMania
You're kind of SOL on GPU mining at the moment with that power rate. No coins are really profitable right now and if ZEC continues to go down or ETH goes POS there will be too much hashrate for any coin to support and GPUs will flood the market. But that's also a good time to pick up cheap gear and wait it out. The people who held onto Litecoin rigs and hashed ETH early are the ones who now have multiple rigs that have all ROI'd. There's an ebb and flow to everything and right now GPU mining is on the downhill.

@TimboSlice Ok. Is there anything I can do to make some BTC or Burst??
-
@JackManMania Go for I7 (or XEON if budget allows) if you will not use GPU. Its faster in plotting and better results in reading drives during mining.If you already had ZEC miner, try giving one GPU to Burst rig and get any CPU then (i3), again, better mining results.

Check out my signature. Though shipping may kill the offer.

@JackManMania just the usual ways, like buying hard drives to mine burst as you were saying.
-
@TimboSlice Yeah. I got paid today, so I bought $25 in BTC, bought some Burst xD
