Very dedicated to BURST, blago created the first non-java miner for Windows. The speed of mining (e.g. processing the plots) increased immensely, and still blago continues to update the miner and be an very active member in the community.

Besides Burstdev, uray is probably the most important software and infrastructure developer of BURST. He created miners for different platforms, open-source pool code and were overall one of the most influential community members. Since 2015, uray's activity has decreased but he still runs the popular pools https://mining.burstcoin.io.

Chesteer has developed a BURST info-app for Android (info-app meaning without wallet function). However, he is involved in creating not only an info-app but a real BURST wallet for smart-phones.

Along with Burstdev and uray, dcct is one of the most important community members of the early BURST (and still keeps an eye on us, especially on irc). Many of his ground breaking software projects are still being used.

From being interesting in, more or less, simple POW coins, mmmaybe (Fredrik) discovered all the crypto 2.0 projects later than most. Although fascinated by Enthreum's whitepaper, the CIYAM's developers AT seemed sensieble to him. In BURST, Fredrik does various things, trying to keeping the different parts of development, software and marketing together.

With BURST's ambition to get people all over the world to know they can earn some money with their Hard Disk Drives, comes the language barrier. We are actively working to translate material, and kartojal is primarily working with translations into Spanish.

Consultants & Overall Help
Of the more than 20 people presented above, only two or three no longer actively contributes to the development of BURST. Of course, activity varies over time but the over all trend seems to be that if you get involved in the team, you stay.
Our BitCoinTalk thread is one thousand pages long. Evidently, some +20 people aren't the only contributors: We could have listed way more. To all you BURST fans who day in and day out contribute to this coin: a BIG thank you to you all.

HALL of FAME - Economic Supporters


Let us tell you some of the conditions under which BURST is developed and why we have this last heading.

We didn't do any premine, we didn't create promises to get investors into an uncertain IPO to collect huge amounts of BTC for future research.

BURST chose a different way: We started without any funding and got investors by showing results - instead of spreading promises that might, or might not, be fulfilled.

Since August, 2014, volunteers have developed the coin: Please, have a look at our section Angels of BURST below. As you see under that heading, BURST lives on donations and generous Devs who use their own money to improve BURST.


Do YOU want to support BURST and be listed as an Angel?

Your donations, how small they might be, will push BURST forward! The gratitude we who work with BURST on a daily basis are immense and makes us work even harder.

On the 7th of April, 2015, we started to keep track of the supporters who donates economically to BURST.
They are listed below.
How the donations are invested is reported in this BurstForum threads.
