BTCJam

What is BTCJam?

BTCJam is a bitcoin investment and micro lending platform. You can either submit for a loan at a payment type and percentage that you choose, or you can browse loans and invest if you have some bitcoin in your wallet.

The site is well put together and very easy to get started.

How/why invest?

Investing is great if you don't plan to spend your bitcoin any time soon, I like to think of it as "let it ride". When investing you can choose an investment and then invest however much you'd like, there's no minimum "buy in" to invest.

How to get a loan?

Investing is pretty straight forward, getting a loan however takes a bit of foot work. To get the service to allow you to post your loan you need to verify a good deal of personal information. For instance to get the bare minimum rating (alphabetic rating, like back in grade-school) to get a loan you'll need to verify your identity as well as your address. Now this is just the makings of your account so you can actually get a loan. Adding things like social media, PayPal, eBay, and a coinbase account can help boost that rating so investors feel a bit more comfortable forking over their currency.

Is BTCJam worth the work?

After the whole verifications process, this platform is brilliant and well maintained. I've personally invested over $300 in BTC and have just had a loan funded for over $2,000 USD. BTCJam is structured in a very transparent way and tracks all the transactions in a simple read out with a calendar, as well as a summary readout on the right hand side.


As you can see it shows me what I've received as payment, and what has yet to come in a simple summary. If you want to earn BTC by investing on BTCJam it's a really good choice because you pick an investment that suits you. For those looking for a loan, remember you need to be dedicated to get to that stage, you just need to keep in mind that it requires documents that you need to either scan or take a high resolution picture of.

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. ...

MinerGate

MinerGate is very interesting Mining pool with it's own mining software AND web mining (something that I've personally never seen). It is primarily used for mining cryptonote coins. If you have a slower CPU/GPU machine, it might be something you can get a reasonable yield out of. With much lower global hash rates, you have less competition for shares. Some cryptonotes have to be exchanged into a different coin before bitcoin but some like BCN can be exchanged straight into BTC (if that's what you're looking to do). Start Mining Simply download their GUI miner, and you can start at least mining with your CPU almost instantly. The second route is to navigate to their home page and scroll down past their GUI and download their open sourced mining software (if you dont like using these, just stick with the GUI). Fairly easy to set up, they're basically plug and play. Here's a simple set up for the  Claymore CryptoNote GPU : setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT...
