Paybase


PayBase is the platform launched by GAW,  a platform that is created for transactions and services with XPY(PayCoin - the coin developed by GAW).

XPY, The Coin

I just want to take a moment to address XPY as a coin. I think what GAW is trying to do with their coin is an excellent concept, brining it to mainstream consumers. One way they said this can be done is the spending it at large online merchants which is a good start. One of the reasons they thought brining crypto to the masses is building the XPY floor. What they mean by floor is the minimum price of their coin (stated to be $20 USD), making it's volatility very little, or non-existent. GAW has dropped the ball for keeping the floor, the coin being averagely around $3 USD. I'm not saying that it will never get to the level,  however, i don't think anytime soon.

Current Features

Currently, PayBase allows users to store their XPY(PayCoin) in PayBase, and buy/sell XPY. It has an internal market that deals exclusively with BTC and XPY. This is as far as functionality has gone with the platform as of today.

Future Features

GAW plans to create a bill payment service, a gift card purchasing service, and a plugin to purchase with large online retailers. These features don't have any dates set in stone (or pencil for that matter).

Overview

GAW has made a lot of promises for this platform. I'm not going to bash GAW because they are a very ambitious company, however, they have really been dropping off the map as far as deliverables on a  set amount of time. Earlier this month they told users that it would be released at a set time, but didn't end up releasing their platform until 3-4 days later. Now, you might be thinking "well, a few days is no big deal!", sure, it's  not. BUT, it speaks to their professionalism. As a web-developer, i would never make a date i couldn't keep, and you need to incorporate the unexpected when setting a release date, especially of this size.

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

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...

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 ...
