ZenMiner - Cloud hosted mining

To start...

What is ZenMiner

To give a rundown of what ZenMiner cloud hosting is, it's basically a service that will host your mining rig for a cost per day. There are promotional deals at stores like GAWMiners where I got a 27MH/S scrypt machine with a free month of hosting by ZenMiner. Once I don't want them to host my machine anymore, i notify them and then they send it out to me with free shipping.


Payouts

Payouts are daily and are obviously based on your hashing speed as well as the pool you choose.


Pools

As a scrypt miner you have the option of choosing between COINKING, CleverMining, Multipool.us, NiceHash, and WafflePool. Now obviously these are multipools because the payouts are in Bitcoins but each one varies in payouts. If you see the "Miners" image above you can see it estimates what your miner will output per 24hours on the pool you selected based on previous payouts on similar miners. You can select these pools on the fly instantly, so no commitment.


Latest Activity

ZenMiner tracks your recent activity to give you a pretty readout of what's been happening through your account. Very good to have so you have a handy reference if you're cutious about things like if you've accidently withdrawn BTC from your account with an extra "0" (I've been there).


Balance

The balance page is a purely transaction based activity page. Once again just a handy thing to have as a reference.

Looks

I'd like to say that ZenMiner has a beautiful simple UI, and I've been a big fan of it's asethtic since the first time I checked it out.

Here's an overview of the site:

Results


Overall, beautiful site and a great service. For just under 24 Hours of mining on my 27MH/s rig (Half the time on CleverMining and half on NiceHash) I got 0.01086925 BTC. Overall I recommend this service, especially if you don't want to worry about the extra heat or power consumption that one of these miners are notorious for.

The second day of mining with the same hardware (Full 24 hours) yielded 0.02051448 BTC. Quite a large jump, but as expected since there was a full day spent this time.

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"

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

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 (
