ZenMiner Cloud Update

As you may know, I'm a pretty big fan of ZenMiner Cloud. It's a great service and now that it's been acquired by GAWMiners, it's become just a little more "GAWsome" as they say.

Great Update Features

ZenMiner Cloud is one of the very few services that releases new features or updates that I'm actually excited about. They go out of they're way to make a more compelling cloud mining platform. Companies like CEX.IO just get complaisant because they'll make money no matter what, in my opinion this is no way to increase your companies revenue or keep your existing user base engaged and coming back for more.

v1.3.0

As you can see they boast huge feature upgrades, and features that I've never even thought of, they pump out.

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...
