Mining X11 and Scrypt coins

Today I realized for those miners that still don't feel comfortable, or just want to utilize their own computer hardware while they're not using it, there is a good solution.

Everyone knows that you can mine X11 coins and Scrypt algorithm coins with your CPU and or GPU. However, using your CPU to mine X11 coins is far more efficient then trying to get it to mine Scrypt coins, so my advice is to split your computers hardware. As covered in a previous post (here) I cover how to mine Darkcoins with both GPU and CPU. Try to mine Darkcoins with your CPU (6+ cores preferably)and use your GPU to mine Dogecoins (or whatever Scrypt based coin you prefer). Using these two different algorithms, you can utilize your hardware in a more profitable way (in my opinion), especially since you can now play two markets if you enjoy making profits from coin exchanges.

As you can see, this way you can use your CPU in a much more efficient way and still have your GPU mining another profitable coin with a different algorithm to help preserve the longevity of your mining. Because what if your favourite Scrypt coin price takes a dive, at least you have a backup!

BTC-Flow

Today I'll be giving a bit of a look into BTC-Flow . It's a game based bitcoin faucet that has me pretty into it. No more of the jumping from site to site clicking your way through pop ups and other fun activities. The concept of the game is that you run a company. At first, your company mines bitcoin and has a earning rate of 0.0000015 BTC/Min and your max capacity is 0.000012 BTC. Your part in running this company is getting the bitcoin from your company either before or after your max capacity is hit. You then need to click once your bitcoin capacity is reached to put that balance into your main bank. From here you basically repeat this as much as you'd like. If you really enjoy this, you can "level" your business with bitcoin to increase capacity and earning/min at any point. If you like faucets, you need to check this out . BTC-Flow.com

PoolWarz SHA-256 Auto-switching

What Is Pool Warz? PoolWarz is a pool (with a collection of different mine able coins) that has a little bit of a different approach to the set up of your miners. Creators of this site also bring you CoinWarz , and RigWarz , now have their own pool, they're not linked to one another however. Within PoolWarz , when you create a worker, you only point your hardware at one URL, as opposed to multiple different URLs for separate coins. At anytime you can alter what coin this worker is mining by changing where it's pointer (or "assigned" to ) on your dashboard in your PoolWarz account. Subscription There is an option to pay a monthly subscription fee to PoolWarz for a 0% fee (as opposed to their standard 2% fee) and also getting the ability for "auto-switching". If you've been mining for a while, you'll know the concept of "auto-switching" because it's the same as a multipool basically, except you keep all the coins you mine. ...
