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 get to the function or content you want.

The only issue I've had is on the profile screen, it tells my I'm not verified. Now this may be because I'm from Canada and verification is currently only done in the USA or another country, but i'm not sure.

Transactions



Transactions


As you make charges to the card, they show up on the main page, as well as your current balance in USD or in BTC (If you tap the amount you have at the top). Handy to quickly check to see how much you have currently, and it lets you know how much is tied up in a PENDING state(After charging your card).

Notifications



Text Notifications


Aside from getting a nice transaction readout, you also get notifications through text message shortly after a purchase has been made from your card with a few details.

Summary

Overall, this app is handy, simple, and hasn't fired me an error or crashed once. In other words, I'm happy with it.

Mine X11 coins using Ubuntu

I recently reformatted my computer and decided to try out Ubuntu as my OS. I'm pretty new with a lot of Ubuntu but I decided to figure out how to mine using the .sh files as opposed to the .bat files used on windows OS's. To help other miners through this process, i'm hosting some files in my DB account that you can use as a boiler plate. Mining software files are here . Download and extract. Alter these .sh files with your credentials. Run scripts by goingto their directory and typing ./mine.sh and ./minecpu.sh in separate terminals And there you have it, It's that easy! You'll be mining in seconds.
