I've Melted My Hard Drive! Burstcoin HD Mining Rig

in burstcoin •  7 years ago 

I was about to re plot one of my Toshiba drives that I use for Burstcoin mining and upon closer inspection I can see the drive has been damaged due to excessive heat.

Please ensure your drives are not stacked and have good airflow around the drive.

Melted! That is not good.

I recently installed a 3rd power supply to my ASUS B250 mining rig motherboard and within 10 minutes it caught fire! I was nearby and was able to shut it down, but there were flames from wire insulation burning at the back of the unit. Crazy. I sent it back and the replacement is fine.

Be safe.

Hey, I was wondering about a profitability comparison between Sia, Storj and Burst. I was wondering if you have tried all 3. I'm trying to see if there's a demand for HDD storage and if it's actually worth buying new HDD's off of Amazon. I'm not sure if you had some contact to message you personally but I've been subscribed to you for a while. I'd be happy to use your Amazon links to purchase if I find it profitable enough. I tried looking at your recent videos, but I'm trying to determine what is the most profitable, Sia, Burst, or Storj. Thanks.
