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.

From being interested 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 sensible 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.
