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!

Mining ZCash(ZEC) on windows

I spent some time trying out a few different pieces of software to try to figure out one that works best for me. I have 2 good options for mining ZCash, both for the coin and using NiceHash to auto convert it to BTC for you. Option 1 Download the NiceHash Miner Run the miner (install steps) Put in your btc address and your worker name Run the benchmark (depending on your number of devices this can take some time, however, it's worth it). Once the benchmark has completed, simply click "Start" This option will be mining with NiceHash, however, it auto converts coins into btc. This may not be what you're looking for, so see option 2. Option 2 Download the latest release of nheqminer Extract Create a run.bat file Here's a couple examples for your run.bat file Examples AMD 1 GPU nheqminer_zcash.exe -l usa -u YOUR-ZCASH-ADDRESS-HERE -t 6 -od 0 NVIDIA 1 GPU nheqminer_zcash.exe -l usa -u YOUR-ZCASH-ADDRESS-HERE -t 6 -cd 0 ...

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

Mining in the Outdoors

Forget the heat, lets mine in the snow So, I've been mining inside for about a year, normally with one or two pieces of hardware. I lived in a one room apartment then, so the heat and noise was a bit crazy. Luckily I live in a proper several room flat with a fairly large balcony, which will now be the new stage for my small mining farm. What's involved So all that's really involved is as follows: 1 x large rubbermaid storage unit 2 x 6 inch vents 2 x 4 inch vents 1 x 6 inch blower fane 1 x 4 inch blower fan 2 x 3 slot extension cords 1 x router 3 x ethernet cords 1 x piece of cardboard for a divider 3 x miner PSU 3 x Antminer S5 Here's a little video of the rig that I have set up: So now you should have an idea of exactly how it's set up. There's many ways to build an outdoor unit like this, but this was just my vision. I just wanted to go through some of the reasoning behind how its set up, to help educate some of your decisio...
