Turning those Bitcoins into USD

Overview

So, you may be thinking "Hey, I've got a some bitcoin. I need to sell them for USD(or other currencies) to buy everyday things like groceries." Here's how I do it.

So, at the current moment it's a transfer rate of around $300/bitcoin, not a very good rate. However, this is the process that I go through, not very complicated.

Cryptsy



This beautiful trading platform is great, if you don't have an account with them. Make one. Make sure you use Authy or something with all accounts relating to your money, it's worth your time.

Add Bitcoin to Cryptsy Account

Once logged on, go to your balances page, and select the bitcoin link. A little popout window will give you some options, select deposit, generate address and then send your bitcoins into that address. Make sure you give about an hour or so, so it can confirm with the network.


Sell Bitcoins

Now, you've got your money right where you want it. Go to the markets on the left side and click BTC/USD. Here there will be a graph and an area where you buy(left side) or sell (right side). Once you select the amount you want to sell and the price that you want to sell them at. Place order, and wait for it to be filled. The order you make can be filled instantly or take a good deal of time, dependant on your price and demand.


Get your USD

You have USD balance now in your cryptsy account(Left hand side). There are more steps! Can't wait right? Send your money to your EgoPay account (make one if you don't have one). It will take "up to two business days" to transfer these funds.

Your money will take some time to register in this account, the of course... Time to make another account!


Withdraw that money!



The gorgeous little platform, this is easily the only site that I sincerely like out of all the sites used within this article, pretty site and easy to use.

Once you make an account here and do some fun little customization, you can set up a withdrawal to your personal bank account. When you go to set up your withdrawal, make sure you select the country (for me, Canada), because the information they need changes.

After you have added your bank to your Payza(confirm they're two micro deposits) account, just withdraw your money to that account!

Setting up a self maintaining miner (Windows GPU CPU miner)

Problem I run a 125MH/s ETH GPU mining rig but I was having issues where it would restart intermittently and when it would come back online it would obviously stop mining and i would lose mining time because of it. Solution Automatic restart  Run your miner automatically on startup This is actually a very simple way to keep your miner in check so you don't encounter much or any down time. As an added bonus, it's very simple to set up. Automatic restart Search for "task scheduler" in your windows search bar and open it. Now select "Create Task..." from the right side panel. Give your task a name and check the "run with highest privileges" checkbox Go to the "Triggers" tab and click the "New..." button. Here you should select "Daily" and select a date and time you would like this task to be run. Once you're done with your selection, click "OK" Go to the "Ac...

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...
