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.

Subscription

There is an option to pay a monthly subscription fee to PoolWarz for a 0% fee (as opposed to their standard 2% fee) and also getting the ability for "auto-switching". If you've been mining for a while, you'll know the concept of "auto-switching" because it's the same as a multipool basically, except you keep all the coins you mine. Based off profitability or difficulty, you can choose your auto switching profile to best suit your needs.


Auto-Switching


Without A Subscription

My experience, and other opinions I've seen is that the subscription is the way to go as far as profitability is concerned (as long as you have enough mining power to make it worth your while). However, one issue is if you are trying to mine a certain coin and it gets taken down from their "live coins", you could just end up having your miners burning up electricity.


Coin Assigning


Coin Information

One large benefit is it's information on any coin you want to select. You can read up about it and see it's statistics before assigning it to your workers. It also allows a quick simple view of previous blocks and your currently assigned workers.

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.

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...
