ROI

Whenever you look into a new miner, you need to realize the cycle until you reach your ROI (return on investment) to ensure you're not just chucking cash into a bottomless void.

The next-gen difficulty boost

EVERY-time new, faster, more power efficient chips come out you're bound to see a jump in difficulty. So when you're looking into ordering hardware of any kind try to keep this into consideration. I'm not saying your miner won't be giving you money when it's running 300MH/S, but there may be a fairly substantial drop in daily payouts.

Fan level over 9000

As you can even see from the product model, there are fans. A lot of fans. So before you order, keep in mind the noise and heat these monsters love to throw into your room. Plan ahead of time if you're willing to just deal with the noise and heat, or if you have a room you can stick them with some airflow/ventilation.

Above all

When you make bitcoin or any other crypto-currency, do the community a favour and USE it, don't SELL it. If you contribute this way, it helps the bitcoin community grow and helps the bitcoin price in general. The network will thank you.

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.

Shift Payments Mobile App - Android

As you know, I just got a Bitcoin credit card from Shift Payments which i reviewed a few days ago here . Overview I love the card, and a mobile app for a product like this, in my opinion, is a must. The application is pretty handy and basically takes the place of any kind of website account / web-app. The app is for both iOS and Android devices, I'll be using the Android app. Boot screen Something that a lot of apps seem to forget, that Shift hasn't, is above all keep it simple. The app has a clean simple design that makes it very easy to navigate and consume the functionality within. Wallets & Accounts Accounts screen With the ability to add and remove accounts on the fly, and choose your active account (The account you withdraw bitcoin from) quickly and easily is done very well. It drops that average "slide in" menu from the left or right as most mobile apps use, which is great because that's just one less tap you need to...
