GAW Fury Miner

I purchased a set of 5 Gaw Fury Miners a week or so ago and they came in today. These miners are scrypt-based and run in and around 1.3MH/S each. Also, to set them up was so much more simple than i expected.



The first thing that happened when I got into cryptocoin mining is i realized that i knew nothing. So any chance you get to learn or read something out there that you don't know entirely about, do it. But these neat little boxes were a breeze to setup and get running.

What you need

Hardware wise, you need to have a GAW Fury, 1 12V 5A power supply, and a USB cable. Now, simple enough, you plug in your fan line, then pop in your power supply cord into your unit and finally connect your USB from your Fury to your controller (PC or what have you).




All done? Great! Now comes the fun bit: 


  1. Once plugged in you need to download a driver called CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Driver.
  2. Select the proper version for your OS and install it.
  3. Once installed, restart your computer. I'll wait.
  4. Install MultiMiner. (Great piece of software that takes a lot of the guess work with new miners)
  5. Once everything is installed and you add your coin/settings into Multiminer right click on the application's window and click "Scan Hardware"
  6. That should be the final step and if you have your driver installed properly, you should be mining away!

Congratulations!

You're all set, but if something went wrong during the process follow these trouble-shooting steps

Trouble-shooting

  1. Find those drivers you installed the first time, and re-install them (just to be safe).
  2. Restart computer.
  3. Now open your MultiMiner and make sure your pool is configured with the right information and it saves.
  4. Make sure your miner (if it shows up) is set on the pool you created (If you can't see your miner at this point "Scan Hardware" again).
  5. If your miners are acting odd, or you just want to make sure everything is configured properly, right click in MultiMiner and click "Settings"(Also found in the top right).
  6. Click "Advanced miner settings"
  7. Click the drop-down where it says "SHA256" and select "Scrypt"
  8. Add "--set zeus:clock=328 --failover-only --no-submit-stale" to the box next to the drop-down and hit OK.
  9. Run MultiMiner

Now everything should be functioning as it should, if it's not feel free to reach out to me through email (emersongstewart@gmail.com) and maybe I can help try to figure out your problem with you.

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

StorjShare - Get paid for your unused storage

What is it? StorjShare is decentralized cloud storage. Think of Dropbox, they are a company that provides cloud storage where the data is stored on their hardware (inside of data centers in server rooms). StorjShare differs from their service a fair bit. Instead of having a server room, or data center where all the data is stored locally, StojShare stores data to any storage device that is connected to it's network. This kind of distribution of storage is also very optimal for transfer speed because you could be saving your data on a computer in your neighborhood which is certainly much faster than relying on a server possibly on the other side of the country, or possibly further. Now you might be thinking "Well, i don't want my neighbors to have my photos of family.", worry not, one of the most interesting concepts in this protocol is the encryption of your stored files. When you save a file to the network, the file is actually saved in "shards"

GAWMiners Releases Information About Project HashCoin

GAW released some information and their White Paper for their coin code named " HashCoin ". They're developing a new platform that encompass Zencloud and Hashtalk called "HashBase", and with this large development process, this coin is just another brain child that GAW is pursuing. The basis of the coin is to become in my opinion a less volatile bitcoin, that is widely accepted by merchants. Now, obviously, to do this they are going to need serious merchant adoption and for merchants to adopt, I think they're going to need to see that it's not volatile first hand. I see issues with it, but they are a good and very well off company, so I'm sure they've thought through the problems with their strategy. If you're interested in the specifics, please check both GAW's site  and a release of the information from and Cryptocoin News . This coin seems like it's going the route of more institutionalized currency, like USD or CAD (
