  The last few years have seen the discovery of a number of new aspects of Type
I X-ray bursts: the extremely energetic and long duration superbursts,
intermediate duration bursts at low luminosities, mHz QPOs, and burst
oscillations. These discoveries promise a new understanding of nuclear burning
on accreting neutron stars, and offer a chance to use observations to probe
neutron star properties. I discuss what we can learn from future long term
monitoring with MIRAX.
