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.

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. ...

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...
