Bitcoin-PoCX .. using harddrives for mining, viable project?

[McFox]

Has anyone heard of https://bitcoin-po.cx yet?
Concept of replacing GPU mining with HDD mining seems interesting but I'm no crypto expert, so I don't know if this is just another shitcoin or a serious longterm alternative if the project really takes off.

Any experts here to give some feedback?

It is a well known solution to PoW and PoS census mechanisms.

The biggest problem is that storage is expensive right now.

I mined Chia Coin (Proof of Space) years ago. I sold all of it before it was too late. Besides a few hundred dollars, I still use the 14TB and 16TB drives I bought for that project. The link you posted, if legit, looks to be the same thing. Not really worth it unless you have a LOT of extra storage.

My proof of work days are long behind me with ethereum mining years ago.
