The Largest Reason Bitcoin Will Never Take Off




If you've read some or any of my posts, you know that I like bitcoin and cryptocurrencies for what they are capable of and the concepts behind them. I'd love to see them dominate trades in the real world and squeeze out country regulated money, but as I say this I'm reluctant to think that will actually happen.

Bitcoin has some of the greatest people I've met, but also a large amount of scum and scammers. If we want the currency( or currencies) to go anywhere, and truly become the first universal, multi-nation currency, how can our base-line of users be garbage. In the bitcoin community I rarely trust any one company or person (with the exception of Bitmain and GAW perhaps). The community that runs these scams and ponzi's and what not, are in my opinion, shattering the strength of the community as well as the want for any new comers to join the community. I believe that this technology is in a playground phase, we're aware of it's potential but we're still innovating on it to help it become what we all imagine.

In order to have a currency that people trust, we need to create that trust worthy community to adopt new members. Without it, Bitcoin will be another blip in the technology timeline.

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

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. ...
