Flipping Bitcoin

Buy Low - Sell High

Everyone knows this basic principle to make some money at investment. This can be used in the stock-market and the like, but also a fantastic principle to keep in mind when dealing with bitcoin.

Bitcoin has massive volatility like stocks do, but keep this in mind not when you are buying and selling bitcoin, but buying and selling THINGS with bitcoin.

I use this principle when I purchase cloud hash power for instance, let's have an example.

If I have a large sum of bitcoin, let's say 4 BTC, and I want to buy cloud-mining from Hashie.co. They sell at a rate of $4.90/ 10GH.

@ Bitcoin price of $350: 4 BTC X $350 = $1400

You can purchase 2857 GH/s

@ Bitcoin price of $400: 4 BTC X $400 = $1600

You can purchase 3265 GH/s

Now, with the above example you can see a large difference in the amount you can purchase (You already knew that) but when you can resell this hashpower when you're made enough, you can sell them at the lower rate of $350 so you get a larger BTC return. Which, in-turn either allows you a bigger cashout, or a larger re-investment! Win-Win

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...
