If you are ready to run a Pi 24/7 and got a free HDD you could also "mine" storj with the setup.

Not a bad idea, either. I'm also looking forward to Chia's release in Q2 of 2018 -Bram Cohen of BitTorrent fame's idea of a proof of space as well as a proof of time, to mitigate network attacks.

Super curious to see what a pioneer in the p2p filesharing world brings to blockchain.

Indeed but if you want to use disk space right now to mine there is sadly no mature alternative to storj, as far as i know. And its well documented even in raspberry pi cases. Guide for raspberry pi storj node

Thanks, how does this differ from Burstcoin? As far as I know, that uses disk space, as well.

I havent tried burst for myself yet so i cant give an informend answer ;) but from what i have seen it might be easier to setup for avarage user.
