Legitimate Cloud Mining




Cloud mining is a very shady beast. Unfortunately far too often people cut and run with investors/customers money and that's it, no recourse, nothing to do. This article will cover legitimate cloud mining, companies that I've personally done business with and a summary of their service. I won't be going into price comparison because in my opinion, you need to look through all the candidates before making any kind of purchase. You need to have the final decision on which company you trust the most.

Hashnest

Hashnest is my up-most trusted site. If you know bitcoin mining, you've heard of BITMAIN, a fantastically honest company that really strives to make great mining hardware. If you don't want to buy hardware and run it locally, you can purchase shares of their co-location units and start mining right away. Transactions are done on a P2P basis generally so the price of hashing power can vary a fair amount.

If you haven't already made an account, go head over, make an account to at least check it out, I think it will be worth your time.

Genisis Mining

These guys have been around for awhile, definitely worth checking out their information and pricing, all pricing is in a "lifetime contract". As with any contract please read through the specifics and make sure you truly agree to everything stated. If something seems off, don't do business with them, it's as simple as that. All purchasing is straight from the company,there is no marketplace like Hashnest in this one.

Bitcoin Cloud Mining Services


Unlike Genisis, this service allows you to buy custom amounts of hashrate. This has been around for quite a while as well, but just give their Company page a quick read, they have pictures of actual mining operations, and seem like a trustworthy bunch. As always read the fine print on user/customer agreements when making a purchase of any magnitude.

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 ...
