Getting Into Burstcoin Was A Bad Experience
Hey Guys,

Burstcoin is a digital cryptographic currency and payment system based on the blockchain technology. The energy requirements for Burstcoin mining is very low compared to most other cryptocurrencies making Burstcoin one of the most energy efficient within the field of proof based cryptocurrencies, and Burstcoin was one of the first crypto coins to be mined through hard drive space.

It all sounds nice and wonderfull until you are trying to get into it.

I bought a one terabyte (1TB)  external hard drive at the price of 65 euro's, and purchased 510 Burstcoins to have something in my wallet at start.
After hooking your drive up there is a process called (Plotting). This plotting process is actually the worst thing that can happen to an Intel (R), 4gb Ram laptop.

The plotting process is when the space that is on your drive is  allocated and getting  filled with the codes (power) that is going to mine your burstcoins.

Well it may sound crazy but it took me a week to plot just 1tb of hard drive space.
and there is always a 50/50 chance of the plot crashing or some dumb shit like that. 

After my drive was finally plotted, there was another error stopping me from minning.
It was something with the minner that comes with the online wallet V0.3.9.2. Not everyone was having this issue, so i guess the software isnt 100% functional on all device.

And all this headache for nothing because , i wasnt able to mine and gave up on the burst minning idea. I waisted a lot of time, effort and 70+ euro's for nothing.

I hope Burstcoin lovers arent going to bash on me but i wanted to be honest about this crypto currency
and make people aware that, it isnt as easy as it seems to be or so good its claimed to be.

Why didn't you search online, visit forums, and ask for troubleshooting help instead of making a post here complaining?  If you had done the first thing you might have been well on your way to making back your 65 Euros.
