Coin Fire - Journalism




I don't pretend to be a journalist, or to be really a good blogger in general, however there is something to be said about Coinfire.io.

I've read a good few articles from Coinfire.io, and they have been what I would consider very poor journalism. I'm only going to target maybe 1 or 2 articles, because I don't have all day. Now, I'm not an associate of GAW, PayCoin, PayBase, or pay-whatever but there is something to be said about their kind of journalism and specifically about their posts about GAW and their platforms.

Now, I will admit that there has been a good deal of miss steps and issues with GAW's announcements, however the posts on Coinfire.io seem to be more of attacks rather than reports. If you have read some of their articles regarding GAW (thinking back to the SEC investigation), I would recommend you give it a read to see what I'm referring to. This community and industry is already riddled with terrible companies and scams, but we would like everyone to take cryptocurrency seriously. So, what's going wrong? Why are people trying to go out of their way to put a negative spin on companies that are FOR ONCE, really trying to bring people in and help build a community.

GAW isn't perfect, but they have easily put the most effort I've seen into this community, to strengthen and make it accessible. Is that all going to happen overnight? No. Will clouding it with negativity help it happen? Of course not. However, we all want cryptocurrency to become a big thing (bigger than it is), so why try to sully another companies name with issues and half-truths. Report responsibly.

I'm not trying to paint anyone in a bad light, but I would really suggest Coinfire.io gets a little more creative with how they do their journalism. If you don't have a 100% truth, don't report it as fact, especially at a company that is really trying to do good by their community.


Then again, I guess writing for a blog isn't technically journalism anyway.

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"

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

GAWMiners Releases Information About Project HashCoin

GAW released some information and their White Paper for their coin code named " HashCoin ". They're developing a new platform that encompass Zencloud and Hashtalk called "HashBase", and with this large development process, this coin is just another brain child that GAW is pursuing. The basis of the coin is to become in my opinion a less volatile bitcoin, that is widely accepted by merchants. Now, obviously, to do this they are going to need serious merchant adoption and for merchants to adopt, I think they're going to need to see that it's not volatile first hand. I see issues with it, but they are a good and very well off company, so I'm sure they've thought through the problems with their strategy. If you're interested in the specifics, please check both GAW's site  and a release of the information from and Cryptocoin News . This coin seems like it's going the route of more institutionalized currency, like USD or CAD (
