Proof of Capacity:
Burst uses a new algorithm for proof of HDD capacity (POC) mining, which means that Burst is the first crypto-currency mined using free space on your hard-drive!
Instead of buying expensive mining equipment, like graphic cards, all you need to mine Burst is some free space on your device.
Miners pre-generate chunks of data known as 'plots' which are then saved to their disk.
The number of plots you store is effectively your mining speed.
Every block the miner will skim through the saved plots, and come up with an amount of time until it is able to mine a block if another block hasn't yet been found.
After reading through the plots is complete, your hardware can just sit idle until the newest block is found.
And if you ever decide to stop mining Burst you can delete your plots at any time and use your HDD-space again.
Greentech:
The energy consuming part of mining is performing the calculations, but with Burst, the computer performs the calculations once,
then all it does while mining is to read a few megabytes off of a hard drive every few minutes and checks every nonce it pulls off, instead of working through heavy calculations like Bitcoin.
Burstcoin's transaction network only uses 10 kW compared with Bitcoin's 200 MW.
Transaction costs therefore are 0.02 Cents for Burst and 5 Cents for Bitcoin.
Android Client:
The Burst Android client for now is simply an interface for the Burst official web wallet.
It currently supports logging into and using your Bust wallet.
In the future, the client will support official Burst Android Plotting and Mining.
This means, that soon you’ll have the option to mine the coin on your mobile devices, something that isn’t available on any other PoW based coin.
