Good morning all!

Sorry for the questions, I just figured it may be easy to get simple answers by asking them straight forward. I have checked the forum but there's so many comments it's hard to find the precise info I need. I'm currently mining on Linux, and windows, so I know how to set that up. So here's my question.

I want to buy a Raspberry Pi Zero W to mine on. Is it possible, to just have like 10 16GB USB sticks connected up?
Do I need to download a wallet on every machine / device I want to create plots on and mine on? or Can I just download a plotter and a miner. ( Blockchain has taken 2 days to download on my windows machine, not keen to wait 2 more days to get it working on the Raspberry Pi...

Which Plotter and miner do I use for the Pi that works? Is it Raspbian based? or Linux based?

Why is my windows blockchain taking so long to download when my linux one took a couple of hours?

I have 2 500G harddrives, is it possible to plot one and copy it across to the 2nd one?

How are the DL's calculated? does it have anything to do with the plotter?

That's about it for now. Thanks a mil!

@Valareos Sure I understand that, but I'm not sure how when the pool wins a block, a list of miners are given 20 plus coins? Maybe I'm missing something, forgive me if I am...

I'm not sure I understand fully how the payments work... 2 blocks were just found by the pool, but only 20 or 30 or so miners got a payout? please help me understand how it works :)

@Valareos Thanks for the effort you are putting in dude, I'm very new to this, about to add another 600GB to your pool tonight, made 10 BurstCoins so far off of 150GB which to me is amazing, that's in 3 days! So Thanks for making this pool for miners like me, I'm getting my friend to join your pool as well! Awesome stuff man!

@falconCoin Thanks so much! Need a good pool, any advice?

@manfromafar not on discord... I'm in the stone age still :) na, just got absolutely no one around me that uses it, It's not a South Africa thing

Good Day! I'm fairly new to this, mine other currencies, and finally got everything setup for burstcoin, after making a ton of mistakes, i think i have it, still need to find a pool but firstly i tried to get the free faucet coin, but it wouldn't allow me at all? anyone else have this happen to them? here's the error I get.
Anyone able to assist in providing me with a coin? I;m not sure if you need it to get started? My ID is BURST-KFZP-LA2W-NZ9Z-673DY if anyone can help.

PS. is there a super straight forward guide on getting the wallet and miner setup on ubuntu linux command line? it's taken 2 days of searching to finally get to the step where I can start.

Thanks all!
