Mar 20, 2015 - This then goes to the miner lucky enough to solve the transaction block as an extra reward. Right now, many miners process transactions for no fees. As the block reward for bitcoins decreases, this will be less likely. One of the frustrating things about transaction fees in the past was that the calculation of. The Department of Computer and Information. Of Computer and Information Sciences offers graduate. Techniques and algorithms not covered in the. How Do Smart Contracts Work? We have previously covered ways to calculate mining profitability. Not cloud-mining parameters. Finding a reliable cloud mining service provider is not an easy feat. A lot of companies are shady or stop paying out after a while. Genesis Mining has been around for several years now, and they continue to provide a reliable service0. Although not everyone is a big fan of this service, cryptocurrency mining is always unpredictable. One thing is certain: the company plans to integrate Bitcoin Cash payments. An interesting decision, although one that makes a lot of sense. The public opinion on is a bit of a mixed bag these days. The company has seen some minor issues, but those are mainly due to cryptocurrency’s unpredictable nature. At the same time, they are still standing several years later. Customers are still receiving payments, and the company is looking to keep moving forward. Over the years, Genesis Mining added new currencies to mine. That change has been well-received by the overall cryptocurrency community. BCH Payments are Coming to Genesis Mining One thing that hasn’t changed much is the payment options supported by this platform. Most people purchase Genesis Mining cloud mining contracts with Bitcoin or a credit card. It is due time more payment options are added to this list. The company is seemingly experimenting with integration as we speak. That would be an interesting addition. Given the high fees and slow transactions of Bitcoin, it is evident computers will eventually start to butt in. Looks like will accept Bitcoin Cash as a payment method for hash power when available, currently all out of stock. — Bitcoin (Cash) User (@FFBitcoins) Unlike Bitcoin, the Bitcoin Cash network seems to run smooth as butter. Granted, there was a transaction backlog last weekend. Issues such as those are often resolved very quickly, though. As a result, BCH makes for a better payment option than Bitcoin right now. Genesis Mining is at least willing to give this altcoin a fighting chance. This doesn’t mean there will be any major surge in customers paying with BCh, though. Only time will tell if that can be the case. For now, Genesis Mining users won’t be able to use Bitcoin Cash just yet. This is mainly because the company is out of hashpower to sell to customers. It’s a good sign for the company, although they will need to bring more hardware online very soon. Cryptocurrencies are still “hot” right now and people want to get in on the action. With so few reliable cloud mining providers about, Genesis Mining can strike it rich. The addition of BCH payments will certainly have some sort of impact as well. Introduction Apps are changing the world, enriching people’s lives, and enabling developers like you to innovate like never before. As a result, the App Store has grown into an exciting and vibrant ecosystem for millions of developers and more than a billion users. Whether you are a first time developer or a large team of experienced programmers, we are excited that you are creating apps for the App Store and want to help you understand our guidelines so you can be confident your app will get through the review process quickly. The guiding principle of the App Store is simple - we want to provide a safe experience for users to get apps and a great opportunity for all developers to be successful. We have updated the App Review Guidelines with that principle in mind. The guidelines themselves haven’t changed, but they are better organized and provide more context. On the following pages you will find guidelines arranged into five clear sections: Safety, Performance, Business, Design, and Legal. A few other points to keep in mind: • We have lots of kids downloading lots of apps. Parental controls work great to protect kids, but you have to do your part too. So know that we're keeping an eye out for the kids. • The App Store is a great way to reach hundreds of millions of people around the world. If you build an app that you just want to show to family and friends, the App Store isn’t the best way to do that. Consider Ad Hoc distribution or the Enterprise Program. If you’re just getting started, learn more about the. • We strongly support all points of view being represented on the App Store, as long as the apps are respectful to users with differing opinions and the quality of the app experience is great. We will reject apps for any content or behavior that we believe is over the line. What line, you ask? Well, as a Supreme Court Justice once said, “I'll know it when I see it”. And we think that you will also know it when you cross it. • If you attempt to cheat the system (for example, by trying to trick the review process, steal user data, copy another developer's work, or manipulate ratings) your apps will be removed from the store and you will be expelled from the Developer Program. We hope these new guidelines help you sail through the App Review process, and that approvals and rejections are more consistent across the board. This is a living document; new apps presenting new questions may result in new rules at any time. Perhaps your app will trigger this. We love this stuff too, and honor what you do. We're really trying our best to create the best platform in the world for you to express your talents and make a living, too. Before You Submit To help your app approval go as smoothly as possible, review the common missteps listed below that can slow down the review process or trigger a rejection. This doesn’t replace the guidelines or guarantee approval, but making sure you can check every item on the list is a good start. If your app no longer functions as intended or you’re no longer actively supporting it, it will be removed from the App Store.. Make sure you: • Test your app for crashes and bugs • Ensure that all app information and metadata is complete and accurate • Update your contact information in case App Review needs to reach you • Provide an active demo account and login information, plus any other hardware or resources that might be needed to review your app (e.g. Login credentials or a sample QR code) • Enable backend services so that they’re live and accessible during review • Include detailed explanations of non-obvious features and in-app purchases in the App Review notes, including supporting documentation where appropriate. If we’re not able to access part of your app because it’s geo-locked or otherwise restricted, provide a link to a video of the functionality • Check whether your app follows guidance in other documentation, such as. Safety When people install an app from the App Store, they want to feel confident that it’s safe to do so—that the app doesn’t contain upsetting or offensive content, won’t damage their device, and isn’t likely to cause physical harm from its use. We’ve outlined the major pitfalls below, but if you’re looking to shock and offend people, the App Store isn’t the right place for your app. • 1.1 Objectionable Content Apps should not include content that is offensive, insensitive, upsetting, intended to disgust, or in exceptionally poor taste. Examples of such content include: • 1.1.1 Defamatory, discriminatory, or mean-spirited content, including references or commentary about religion, race, sexual orientation, gender, national/ethnic origin, or other targeted groups, particularly if the app is likely to humiliate, intimidate, or place a targeted individual or group in harm’s way. Professional political satirists and humorists are generally exempt from this requirement. • 1.1.2 Realistic portrayals of people or animals being killed, maimed, tortured, or abused, or content that encourages violence. “Enemies” within the context of a game cannot solely target a specific race, culture, real government, corporation, or any other real entity. • 1.1.3 Depictions that encourage illegal or reckless use of weapons and dangerous objects, or facilitate the purchase of firearms. • 1.1.4 Overtly sexual or pornographic material, defined by Webster's Dictionary as 'explicit descriptions or displays of sexual organs or activities intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings.' • 1.1.5 Inflammatory religious commentary or inaccurate or misleading quotations of religious texts. • 1.1.6 False information and features, including inaccurate device data or trick/joke functionality, such as fake location trackers. Stating that the app is “for entertainment purposes” won’t overcome this guideline. Apps that enable anonymous or prank phone calls or SMS/MMS messaging will be rejected. • 1.1.7 App Store Reviews: • App Store customer reviews can be an integral part of the app experience, so you should treat customers with respect when responding to their comments. Keep your responses targeted to the user’s comments and do not include personal information, spam, or marketing in your response. • Use the provided API to prompt users to review your app; this functionality allows customers to provide an App Store rating and review without the inconvenience of leaving your app, and we will disallow custom review prompts. • 1.2 User Generated Content Apps with user-generated content present particular challenges, ranging from intellectual property infringement to anonymous bullying. To prevent abuse, apps with user-generated content or social networking services must include: • A method for filtering objectionable material from being posted to the app • A mechanism to report offensive content and timely responses to concerns • The ability to block abusive users from the service • Published contact information so users can easily reach you Apps with user-generated content or services that end up being used primarily for pornographic content, objectification of real people (e.g. “hot-or-not” voting), making physical threats, or bullying do not belong on the App Store and may be removed without notice. If your app includes user-generated content from a web-based service, it may display incidental mature “NSFW” content, provided that the content is hidden by default and only displayed when the user turns it on via your website. • 1.3 Kids Category The Kids Category is a great way for people to easily find apps that are appropriate for children. If you want to participate in the Kids Category, you should focus on creating a great experience specifically for younger users. These apps must not include links out of the app, purchasing opportunities, or other distractions to kids unless reserved for a designated area behind a parental gate. Keep in mind that once customers expect your app to follow the Kids Category requirements, it will need to continue to meet these guidelines in subsequent updates, even if you decide to deselect the category. Learn more about. Apps in the Kids Category may not include behavioral advertising (e.g. The advertiser may not serve ads based on the user’s activity), and any contextual ads must be appropriate for young audiences. You should also pay particular attention to privacy laws around the world relating to the collection of data from children online. Be sure to review the of these guidelines for more information. • 1.4 Physical Harm If your app behaves in a way that risks physical harm, we may reject it. For example: • 1.4.1 Medical apps that could provide inaccurate data or information, or that could be used for diagnosing or treating patients may be reviewed with greater scrutiny. • Apps must clearly disclose data and methodology to support accuracy claims relating to health measurements, and if the level of accuracy or methodology cannot be validated, we will reject your app. For example, apps that claim to take x-rays, measure blood pressure, body temperature, blood glucose levels, or blood oxygen levels using only the sensors on the device are not permitted. • Apps should remind users to check with a doctor in addition to using the app and before making medical decisions. If your medical app has received regulatory clearance, please submit a link to that documentation with your app. • 1.4.2 Drug dosage calculators must come from the drug manufacturer, a hospital, university, health insurance company, pharmacy or other approved entity, or receive approval by the FDA or one of its international counterparts. Given the potential harm to patients, we need to be sure that the app will be supported and updated over the long term. • 1.4.3 Apps that encourage consumption of tobacco products, illegal drugs, or excessive amounts of alcohol are not permitted on the App Store. Apps that encourage minors to consume any of these substances will be rejected. Facilitating the sale of marijuana, tobacco, or controlled substances (except for licensed pharmacies) isn’t allowed. • 1.4.4 Apps may only display DUI checkpoints that are published by law enforcement agencies, and should never encourage drunk driving or other reckless behavior such as excessive speed. • 1.4.5 Apps should not urge customers to use their devices in a way that contradicts safety documentation for Apple hardware, risking damage to the device or physical harm to people. For example, apps should not encourage placing the device under a mattress or pillow while charging or perform excessive write cycles to the solid state drive. • 1.5 Developer Information People need to know how to reach you with questions and support issues. Make sure your Support URL includes an easy way to reach you. Failure to include accurate and up-to-date contact information not only frustrates customers, but may violate the law in some countries. Also ensure that Wallet passes include valid contact information from the issuer and are signed with a dedicated certificate assigned to the brand or trademark owner of the pass. Performance • 2.1 App Completeness Submissions to App Review, including apps you make available for pre-order, should be final versions with all necessary metadata and fully functional URLs included; placeholder text, empty websites, and other temporary content should be scrubbed before submission. Make sure your app has been tested on-device for bugs and stability before you submit it, and include demo account info (and turn on your back-end service!) if your app includes a login. If you offer in-app purchases in your app, make sure they are complete, up-to-date, and visible to the reviewer, or that you explain why not in your review notes. Please don’t treat App Review as a software testing service. We will reject incomplete app bundles and binaries that crash or exhibit obvious technical problems. • 2.2 Beta Testing Demos, betas, and trial versions of your app don’t belong on the App Store – use TestFlight instead. Any app submitted for beta distribution via TestFlight should be intended for public distribution and should comply with the App Review Guidelines. Note, however, that apps using TestFlight cannot be distributed to testers in exchange for compensation of any kind, including as a reward for crowd-sourced funding. Significant updates to your beta build should be submitted to TestFlight App Review before being distributed to your testers. To learn more, visit the. • 2.3 Accurate Metadata Customers should know what they’re getting when they download or buy your app, so make sure your app description, screenshots, and previews accurately reflect the app’s core experience and remember to keep them up-to-date with new versions. • 2.3.1 Don’t include any hidden or undocumented features in your app; your app’s functionality should be clear to end-users and App Review. Similarly, you should not market your app on the App Store or offline as including content or services that it does not actually offer (e.g. IOS-based virus and malware scanners). Egregious or repeated behavior is grounds for removal from the Developer Program. We work hard to make the App Store a trustworthy ecosystem and expect our app developers to follow suit; if you’re dishonest, we don’t want to do business with you. • 2.3.2 If your app includes in-app purchases, make sure your app description, screenshots, and previews clearly indicate whether any featured items, levels, subscriptions, etc. Require additional purchases. If you decide to promote in-app purchases on the App Store, ensure that the in-app purchase Display Name, Screenshot and Description are appropriate for a public audience, that you follow the guidance found in, and that your app properly handles the so that customers can seamlessly complete the purchase when your app launches. • 2.3.3 Screenshots should show the app in use, and not merely the title art, log-in page, or splash screen. They may also include text and image overlays (e.g. To demonstrate input mechanisms, such as an animated touch point or Apple Pencil) and show extended functionality on device, such as Touch Bar. • 2.3.4 Previews are a great way for customers to see what your app looks like and what it does. To ensure people understand what they’ll be getting with your app, previews may only use video screen captures of the app itself. Stickers and iMessage extensions may show the user experience in the Messages app. You can add narration and video or textual overlays to help explain anything that isn’t clear from the video alone. • 2.3.5 Select the most appropriate category for your app, and check out the if you need help. If you’re way off base, we may change the category for you. • 2.3.6 Answer the age rating questions in iTunes Connect honestly so that your app aligns properly with parental controls. If your app is mis-rated, customers might be surprised by what they get, or it could trigger an inquiry from government regulators. • 2.3.7 Choose a unique app name, assign keywords that accurately describe your app, and don’t try to pack any of your metadata with trademarked terms, popular app names, or other irrelevant phrases just to game the system. App names must be limited to 30 characters and should not include prices, terms, or descriptions that are not the name of the app. App subtitles are a great way to provide additional context for your app; they must follow our standard metadata rules and should not include inappropriate content, reference other apps, or make unverifiable product claims. Apple may modify inappropriate keywords at any time. • 2.3.8 Metadata should be appropriate for all audiences, so make sure your app and in-app purchase icons, screenshots, and previews adhere to a 4+ age rating even if your app is rated higher. For example, if your app is a game that includes violence, select images that don’t depict a gruesome death or a gun pointed at a specific character. Use of terms like “For Kids” and “For Children” in app metadata is reserved for the Kids Category. Remember to ensure your metadata, including app name and icons (small, large, Apple Watch app, alternate icons, etc.), are similar to avoid creating confusion. • 2.3.9 You are responsible for securing the rights to use all materials in your app icons, screenshots, and previews, and you should display fictional account information instead of data from a real person. • 2.3.10 Make sure your app is focused on the iOS, Mac, Apple TV or Apple Watch experience, and don’t include names, icons, or imagery of other mobile platforms in your app or metadata, unless there is specific, approved interactive functionality. • 2.3.11 Apps you submit for pre-order on the App Store must be complete and deliverable as submitted. Ensure that the app you ultimately release is not materially different from what you advertise while the app is in a pre-order state. If you make material changes to the app (e.g. Change business models), you should restart your pre-order sales. • 2.4 Hardware Compatibility • 2.4.1 To ensure people get the most out of your app, iPhone apps should run on iPad whenever possible. We encourage you to consider building universal apps so customers can use them on all of their devices. Learn more about. • 2.4.2 Design your app to use power efficiently. Apps should not rapidly drain battery, generate excessive heat, or put unnecessary strain on device resources. • 2.4.3 People should be able to use your Apple TV app without the need for hardware inputs beyond the Siri remote or third party game controllers, but feel free to provide enhanced functionality when other peripherals are connected. If you require a game controller, make sure you clearly explain that in your metadata so customers know they need additional equipment to play. • 2.4.4 Apps should never suggest or require a restart of the device. • 2.4.5 Apps distributed via the Mac App Store have some additional requirements to keep in mind: • (i) They must be appropriately sandboxed, and follow. They should also only use the appropriate macOS APIs for modifying user data stored by other Apps (e.g. Bookmarks, Address Book, or Calendar entries). • (ii) They must be packaged and submitted using technologies provided in Xcode; no third party installers allowed. They must also be self-contained, single application installation bundles and cannot install code or resources in shared locations. • (iii) They may not auto-launch or have other code run automatically at startup or login without consent nor spawn processes that continue to run without consent after a user has quit the app. They should not automatically add their icons to the Dock or leave short cuts on the user desktop. • (iv) They may not download or install standalone apps, kexts, additional code, or resources to add functionality or significantly change the app from what we see during the review process. • (v) They may not request escalation to root privileges or use setuid attributes. • (vi) They may not present a license screen at launch, require license keys, or implement their own copy protection. • (vii) They must use the Mac App Store to distribute updates; other update mechanisms are not allowed. • (viii) Apps should run on the currently shipping OS and may not use deprecated or optionally installed technologies (e.g. Java, Rosetta) • (ix) Apps must contain all language and localization support in a single app bundle. • 2.5 Software Requirements • 2.5.1 Apps may only use public APIs and must run on the currently shipping OS. Learn more about. Keep your apps up-to-date and make sure you phase out any deprecated features, frameworks or technologies that will no longer be supported in future versions of an OS. Apps should use APIs and frameworks for their intended purposes and indicate that integration in their app description. For example, the HomeKit framework should provide home automation services; and HealthKit should be used for health and fitness purposes and integrate with the Health app. • 2.5.2 Apps should be self-contained in their bundles, and may not read or write data outside the designated container area, nor may they download, install, or execute code, including other apps. Educational apps designed to teach, develop, or allow students to test executable code may, in limited circumstances, download code provided that such code is not used for other purposes. Such apps must make the source code provided by the Application completely viewable and editable by the user. • 2.5.3 Apps that transmit viruses, files, computer code, or programs that may harm or disrupt the normal operation of the operating system and/or hardware features, including Push Notifications and Game Center, will be rejected. Egregious violations and repeat behavior will result in removal from the Developer Program. • 2.5.4 Multitasking apps may only use background services for their intended purposes: VoIP, audio playback, location, task completion, local notifications, etc. If your app uses location background mode, include a reminder that doing so may dramatically decrease battery life. • 2.5.5 We will be reviewing on an IPv6 network, so if your app isn’t compatible with the IPv6 addressing, it may fail during review. • 2.5.6 Apps that browse the web must use the appropriate WebKit framework and WebKit Javascript. • 2.5.7 Video streaming content over a cellular network longer than 10 minutes must use HTTP Live Streaming and include a baseline 192 kbps HTTP Live stream. • 2.5.8 Apps that create alternate desktop/home screen environments or simulate multi-app widget experiences will be rejected. • 2.5.9 Apps that alter or disable the functions of standard switches, such as the Volume Up/Down and Ring/Silent switches, or other native user interface elements or behaviors will be rejected. For example, apps should not block links out to other apps or other features that users would expect to work a certain way. Learn more about proper handling of. • 2.5.10 Apps should not be submitted with empty ad banners or test advertisements. • 2.5.11 SiriKit • (i) Apps integrating SiriKit should only sign up for intents they can handle without the support of an additional app and that users would expect from the stated functionality. For example, if your app is a meal planning app, you should not incorporate an intent to start a workout, even if the app shares integration with a fitness app. • (ii) Ensure that the vocabulary and phrases in your plist pertains to your app and the SiriKit functionality of the intents the app has registered for. Aliases must relate directly to your app or company name and should not be generic terms or include third party app names or services. • (iii) Resolve the Siri request in the most direct way possible and do not insert ads or other marketing between the request and its fulfillment. Only present interstitial UI when required to complete the task (e.g. Asking the user to specify a particular type of workout). • 2.5.12 Apps using CallKit or including an SMS Fraud Extension should only block phone numbers that are confirmed spam. Apps that include call-, SMS-, and MMS- blocking functionality or spam identification must clearly identify these features in their marketing text and explain the criteria for their blocked and spam lists. You may not use the data accessed via these tools for any purpose not directly related to operating or improving your app or extension (e.g. You may not use, share, or sell it for tracking purposes, creating user profiles, etc.) • 2.5.13 Apps using facial recognition for account authentication must use (and not ARKit or other facial recognition technology), and must use an alternate authentication method for users under 13 years old. Business There are many ways to monetize your app on the App Store. If your business model isn’t obvious, make sure to explain in its metadata and App Review notes. If we can’t understand how your app works or your in-app purchases aren’t immediately obvious, it will delay your review and may trigger a rejection. And while pricing is up to you, we won’t distribute apps and in-app purchase items that are clear rip-offs. We’ll reject expensive apps that try to cheat users with irrationally high prices. If we find that you have attempted to manipulate reviews, inflate your chart rankings with paid, incentivized, filtered, or fake feedback, or engage with third party services to do so on your behalf, we will take steps to preserve the integrity of the App Store, which may include expelling you from the Developer Program. • 3.1 Payments • 3.1.1 In-App Purchase: • If you want to unlock features or functionality within your app, (by way of example: subscriptions, in-game currencies, game levels, access to premium content, or unlocking a full version), you must use in-app purchase. Apps may use in-app purchase currencies to enable customers to “tip” digital content providers in the app. Apps and their metadata may not include buttons, external links, or other calls to action that direct customers to purchasing mechanisms other than in-app purchase. • Any credits or in-game currencies purchased via in-app purchase may not expire, and you should make sure you have a restore mechanism for any restorable in-app purchases. • Remember to assign the correct purchasability type or your app will be rejected. • Apps should not directly or indirectly enable gifting of in-app purchase content, features, or consumable items to others. • Apps distributed via the Mac App Store may host plug-ins or extensions that are enabled with mechanisms other than the App Store. • Apps offering “loot boxes” or other mechanisms that provide randomized virtual items for purchase must disclose the odds of receiving each type of item to customers prior to purchase. • 3.1.2 Subscriptions: Apps may offer auto-renewing in-app purchase subscriptions, regardless of category on the App Store. When incorporating auto-renewable subscriptions into your app, be sure to follow the guidelines below. • 3.1.2(a) Permissible uses: If you offer an auto-renewing subscription, you must provide ongoing value to the customer, and the subscription period must last at least seven days and be available across all of the user’s devices. While the following list is not exhaustive, examples of appropriate subscriptions include: new game levels; episodic content; multi-player support; apps that offer consistent, substantive updates; access to large collections of, or continually updated, media content; software as a service (“SAAS”); and cloud support. In addition: • Subscriptions may be offered alongside a la carte offerings (e.g. You may offer a subscription to an entire library of films as well the purchase or rental of a single movie). • You may offer a single subscription that is shared across your own apps and services, but these subscriptions may not extend to third party apps or services. Games offered in a game subscription must be owned or exclusively licensed by the developer (e.g. Not part of a game publishing platform). Each game must be downloaded directly from the App Store, must be designed to avoid duplicate payment by a subscriber, and should not disadvantage non-subscriber customers. • Subscriptions must work on all of the user’s devices where the app is available. Learn more about. • Apps must not force users to rate the app, review the app, download other apps, or other similar actions in order to access functionality, content, or use of the app. • As with all apps, those offering subscriptions should allow a user to get what they’ve paid for without performing additional tasks, such as posting on social media, uploading contacts, checking in to the app a certain number of times, etc. • Subscriptions may include consumable credits, gems, in-game currencies, etc., and you may offer subscriptions that include access to discounted consumable goods (e.g. A platinum membership that exposes gem-packs for a reduced price). • If you are changing your existing app to a subscription-based business model, you should not take away the primary functionality existing users have already paid for. For example, let customers who have already purchased a “full game unlock” continue to access the full game after you introduce a subscription model for new customers. • 3.1.2(b) Upgrades and Downgrades: Users should have a seamless upgrade/downgrade experience and should not be able to inadvertently subscribe to multiple variations of the same thing. Review on managing your subscription upgrade and downgrade options. • 3.1.2(c) Subscription Information: Before asking a customer to subscribe, you should clearly describe what the user will get for the price. How many issues per month? How much cloud storage? What kind of access to your service? Also ensure you clearly communicate the requirements described in Schedule 2 of your agreement in. Design Apple customers place a high value on products that are simple, refined, innovative, and easy to use, and that’s what we want to see on the App Store. Coming up with a great design is up to you, but the following are minimum standards for approval to the App Store. And remember that even after your app has been approved, you should update your app to ensure it remains functional and engaging to new and existing customers. Apps that stop working or offer a degraded experience may be removed from the App Store at any time. • 4.1 Copycats Come up with your own ideas. We know you have them, so make yours come to life. Don’t simply copy the latest popular app on the App Store, or make some minor changes to another app’s name or UI and pass it off as your own. In addition to risking an intellectual property infringement claim, it makes the App Store harder to navigate and just isn’t fair to your fellow developers. • 4.2 Minimum Functionality Your app should include features, content, and UI that elevate it beyond a repackaged website. If your app is not particularly useful, unique, or “app-like,” it doesn’t belong on the App Store. If your App doesn't provide some sort of lasting entertainment value, or is just plain creepy, it may not be accepted. Apps that are simply a song or movie should be submitted to the iTunes Store. Apps that are simply a book or game guide should be submitted to the iBooks Store. • 4.2.1 Apps using ARKit should provide rich and integrated augmented reality experiences; merely dropping a model into an AR view or replaying animation is not enough. • 4.2.2 Other than catalogs, apps shouldn’t primarily be marketing materials, advertisements, web clippings, content aggregators, or a collection of links. • 4.2.3 Your app should work on its own without requiring installation of another app to function. • 4.2.4 Apple Watch apps that appear to be a watch face are confusing, because people will expect them to work with device features such as swipes, notifications, and third party complications. Creative ways of expressing time as an app interface is great (say, a tide clock for surfers), but if your app comes too close to resembling a watch face, we will reject it. • 4.2.5 Apps that are primarily iCloud and iCloud Drive file managers need to include additional app functionality to be approved. • 4.2.6 Apps created from a commercialized template or app generation service will be rejected unless they are submitted directly by the provider of the app’s content. These services should not submit apps on behalf of their clients and should offer tools that let their clients create customized, innovative apps that provide unique customer experiences. Another acceptable option for template providers is to create a single binary to host all client content in an aggregated or “picker” model, for example as a restaurant finder app with separate customized entries or pages for each client restaurant, or as an event app with separate entries for each client event. • 4.3 Spam Don’t create multiple Bundle IDs of the same app. If your app has different versions for specific locations, sports teams, universities, etc., consider submitting a single app and provide the variations using in-app purchase. Also avoid piling on to a category that is already saturated; the App Store has enough fart, burp, flashlight, and Kama Sutra apps already. Spamming the store may lead to your removal from the Developer Program. • 4.4 Extensions Apps hosting or containing extensions must comply with the or the and should include some functionality, such as help screens and settings interfaces where possible. You should clearly and accurately disclose what extensions are made available in the app’s marketing text, and the extensions may not include marketing, advertising, or in-app purchases. • 4.4.1 Keyboard extensions have some additional rules. They must: • Provide keyboard input functionality (e.g. Typed characters); • Follow Sticker guidelines if the keyboard includes images or emojis; • Provide a method for progressing to the next keyboard; • Remain functional without full network access and without requiring full access; • Collect user activity only to enhance the functionality of the user’s keyboard extension on the iOS device. They must not: • Launch other apps besides Settings; or • Repurpose keyboard buttons for other behaviors (e.g. Holding down the “return” key to launch the camera). • 4.4.2 Safari extensions must run on the current version of Safari on macOS. They may not interfere with System or Safari UI elements and must never include malicious or misleading content or code. Violating this rule will lead to removal from the Developer Program. Safari extensions should not claim access to more websites than strictly necessary to function. • 4.4.3 Stickers Stickers are a great way to make Messages more dynamic and fun, letting people express themselves in clever, funny, meaningful ways. Whether your app contains a sticker extension or you’re creating free-standing sticker packs, its content shouldn’t offend users, create a negative experience, or violate the law. • (i) In general, if it wouldn’t be suitable for the App Store, it doesn’t belong in a sticker. • (ii) Consider regional sensitivities, and do not make your sticker pack available in a country where it could be poorly received or violate local law. • (iii) If we don’t understand what your stickers mean, include a clear explanation in your review notes to avoid any delays in the review process. • (iv) Ensure your stickers have relevance beyond your friends and family; they should not be specific to personal events, groups, or relationships. • (v) You must have all the necessary copyright, trademark, publicity rights, and permissions for the content in your stickers, and shouldn’t submit anything unless you’re authorized to do so. Keep in mind that you must be able to provide verifiable documentation upon request. Apps with sticker content you don’t have rights to use will be removed from the App Store and repeat offenders will be removed from the Developer Program. If you believe your content has been infringed by another provider,. • 4.5 Apple Sites and Services • 4.5.1 Apps may use approved Apple RSS feeds such as the iTunes Store RSS feed, but may not scrape any information from Apple sites (e.g. Apple.com, the iTunes Store, App Store, iTunes Connect, developer portal, etc.) or create rankings using this information. • 4.5.2 Apple Music • (i) The MusicKit APIs let customers access their subscription while using your app. They are intended for simple music playback by Apple Music subscribers. Users must initiate the playback of an Apple Music stream and be able to navigate using standard media controls such as “play,” “pause,” and “skip.” Moreover, your app may not require payment or indirectly monetize access to the Apple Music service (e.g. In-app purchase, advertising, requesting user info, etc.). Do not download, upload, or enable sharing of music files sourced from the MusicKit APIs, except as explicitly permitted in documentation. • (ii) Using the MusicKit APIs is not a replacement for securing the licenses you might need for a deeper or more complex music integration. For example, if you want your app to play a specific song at a particular moment, or to create audio or video files that can be shared to social media, you’ll need to contact rights-holders directly to get their permission (e.g. Synchronization or adaptation rights) and assets. Cover art and other metadata may only be used in connection with music playback or playlists (including App Store screenshots displaying your app’s functionality), and should not be used in any marketing or advertising without getting specific authorization from rights-holders. Make sure to follow the when integrating Apple Music services in your app. • (iii) Apps that access Apple Music user data, such as playlists and favorites, must clearly disclose this access in the purpose string. Any data collected may not be shared with third parties for any purpose other than supporting or improving the app experience. This data may not be used to identify users or devices, or to target advertising. • 4.5.3 Do not use Apple Services to spam, phish, or send unsolicited messages to customers, including Game Center, Push Notifications, etc. Do not attempt to reverse lookup, trace, relate, associate, mine, harvest, or otherwise exploit Player IDs, aliases, or other information obtained through Game Center, or you will be removed from the Developer Program. • 4.5.4 Push Notifications must not be required for the app to function, and should not be used for advertising, promotions, or direct marketing purposes or to send sensitive personal or confidential information. • 4.5.5 Only use Game Center Player IDs in a manner approved by the Game Center terms and do not display them in the app or to any third party. • 4.6 Alternate App Icons Apps may display customized icons, for example, to reflect a sports team preference, provided that each change is initiated by the user and the app includes settings to revert to the original icon. All icon variants must relate to the content of the app and changes should be consistent across all system assets, so that the icons displayed in Settings, Notifications, etc. Match the new springboard icon. This feature may not be used for dynamic, automatic, or serial changes, such as to reflect up-to-date weather information, calendar notifications, etc. • 4.7 HTML5 Games, Bots, etc. Apps may contain or run code that is not embedded in the binary (e.g. Legal Apps must comply with all legal requirements in any location where you make them available (if you’re not sure, check with a lawyer). We know this stuff is complicated, but it is your responsibility to understand and make sure your app conforms with all local laws, not just the guidelines below. And of course, apps that solicit, promote, or encourage criminal or clearly reckless behavior will be rejected. In extreme cases, such as apps that are found to facilitate human trafficking and/or the exploitation of children, appropriate authorities will be notified. • 5.1 Privacy Protecting user privacy is paramount in the Apple ecosystem, and you should use care when handling personal data to ensure you’ve complied with applicable laws and the terms of the, not to mention customer expectations. More particularly: • 5.1.1 Data Collection and Storage • (i) Apps that collect user or usage data must have a privacy policy and secure user consent for the collection. This includes—but isn’t limited to—apps that implement HealthKit or other health/medical technologies, apps that utilize ARKit, Camera APIs, Photo APIs, or other software for depth of facial mapping information, HomeKit, Keyboard extensions, Apple Pay, Stickers and iMessage extensions, include a login, or access user data from the device. Your app description should let people know what types of access (e.g. Location, contacts, calendar, etc.) are requested by your app, and what aspects of the app won’t work if the user doesn’t grant permission. • (ii) If your app doesn’t include significant account-based features, let people use it without a log-in. Apps may not require users to enter personal information to function, except when directly relevant to the core functionality of the app or required by law. If your core app functionality is not related to a specific social network (e.g. Facebook, WeChat, Weibo, Twitter, etc.), you must provide access without a login or via another mechanism. Pulling basic profile information, sharing to the social network, or inviting friends to use the app are not considered core app functionality. • (iii) Developers that use their apps to surreptitiously discover passwords or other private data will be removed from the Developer Program. • (iv)SafariViewContoller must be used to visibly present information to users; the controller may not be hidden or obscured by other views or layers. Additionally, an app may not use SafariViewController to track users without their knowledge and consent. • 5.1.2 Data Use and Sharing • (i) You may not attempt, facilitate, or encourage others to identify anonymous users or reconstruct user profiles based on data collected from depth and/or facial mapping tools (e.g. ARKit, Camera APIs, or Photo APIs), or data that you say has been collected in an “anonymized,” “aggregated,” or otherwise non-identifiable way. You may not use or transmit someone’s personal data without first obtaining their permission and providing access to information about how and where the data will be used. • (ii) Data collected from apps may not be used or shared with third parties for purposes unrelated to improving the user experience or software/hardware performance connected to the app’s functionality, or to serve advertising in compliance with the. • (iii) Data gathered from the HomeKit API or from depth and/or facial mapping tools (e.g. ARKit, Camera APIs, or Photo APIs) may not be used for advertising or other use-based data mining, including by third parties. • (iv) Apps using Apple Pay may only share user data acquired via Apple Pay with third parties to facilitate or improve delivery of goods and services. • 5.1.3 Health and Health Research Health, fitness, and medical data are especially sensitive and apps in this space have some additional rules to make sure customer privacy is protected: • (i) Apps may not use or disclose to third parties data gathered in the health, fitness, and medical research context—including from the HealthKit API, Motion and Fitness, or health-related human subject research—for advertising or other use-based data mining purposes other than improving health management, or for the purpose of health research, and then only with permission. • (ii) Apps must not write false or inaccurate data into HealthKit or any other medical research or health management apps, and may not store personal health information in iCloud. • (iii) Apps conducting health-related human subject research must obtain consent from participants or, in the case of minors, their parent or guardian. Such consent must include the (a) nature, purpose, and duration of the research; (b) procedures, risks, and benefits to the participant; (c) information about confidentiality and handling of data (including any sharing with third parties); (d) a point of contact for participant questions; and (e) the withdrawal process. • (iv) Apps conducting health-related human subject research must secure approval from an independent ethics review board. Proof of such approval must be provided upon request. • 5.1.4 Kids For many reasons, it is critical to use care when dealing with personal data from kids, and we encourage you to carefully review all the requirements for complying with laws like the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and any international equivalents. Apps may ask for birthdate and parental contact information only for the purpose of complying with these statutes, but must include some useful functionality or entertainment value regardless of a person’s age. Moreover, apps in the Kids Category or those that collect, transmit, or have the capability to share personal information (e.g. Name, address, email, location, photos, videos, drawings, the ability to chat, other personal data, or persistent identifiers used in combination with any of the above) from a minor must include a privacy policy and must comply with all applicable children's privacy statutes. For the sake of clarity, the for the Kid’s Category is generally not the same as securing parental consent to collect personal data under these privacy statutes. • 5.1.5 Location Services Use Location services in your app only when it is directly relevant to the features and services provided by the app. Location-based APIs shouldn’t be used to provide emergency services or autonomous control over vehicles, aircraft, and other devices, except for small devices such as lightweight drones and toys, or remote control car alarm systems, etc. Ensure that you notify and obtain consent before collecting, transmitting, or using location data. If your app uses background location services, be sure to explain the purpose in your app; refer to the for best practices on doing so. • 5.2 Intellectual Property Make sure your app only includes content that you created or that you have a license to use. Your app may be removed if you’ve stepped over the line and used content without permission. Of course, this also means someone else’s app may be removed if they’ve “borrowed” from your work. If you believe your intellectual property has been infringed by another developer on the App Store, submit a claim via our. Laws differ in different countries, but at the very least, make sure to avoid the following common errors: • 5.2.1 Generally: Don’t use protected third party material such as trademarks, copyrighted works, or patented ideas in your app without permission, and don’t include misleading, false, or copycat representations, names, or metadata in your app bundle or developer name. Apps should be submitted by the person or legal entity that owns or has licensed the intellectual property and other relevant rights and is responsible for offering any services provided by the app. • 5.2.2 Third Party Sites/Services: If your app uses, accesses, monetizes access to, or displays content from a third party service, ensure that you are specifically permitted to do so under the service’s terms of use. Authorization must be provided upon request. • 5.2.3 Audio/Video Downloading: Apps should not facilitate illegal file sharing or include the ability to save, convert, or download media from third party sources (e.g. Apple Music, YouTube, SoundCloud, Vimeo, etc.) without explicit authorization from those sources. Streaming of audio/video content may also violate Terms of Use, so be sure to check before your app accesses those services. Documentation must be provided upon request. • 5.2.4 Apple Endorsements: Don’t suggest or infer that Apple is a source or supplier of the App, or that Apple endorses any particular representation regarding quality or functionality. If your app is selected as an “Editor’s Choice,” Apple will apply the badge automatically. • 5.2.5 Apple Products: Don’t create an app that appears confusingly similar to an existing Apple product, interface (e.g. Finder), app (such as the App Store, iTunes Store, or Messages) or advertising theme. Apps and extensions, including third party keyboards and Sticker packs, may not include Apple emoji. ITunes music previews may not be used for their entertainment value (e.g. As the background music to a photo collage or the soundtrack to a game) or in any other unauthorized manner. If your app displays Activity rings, they should not visualize Move, Exercise, or Stand data in a way that resembles the Activity control. The have more information on how to use Activity rings. • 5.3 Gaming, Gambling, and Lotteries Gambling, gaming, and lotteries can be tricky to manage and tend to be one of the most regulated offerings on the App Store. Only include this functionality if you’ve fully vetted your legal obligations everywhere you make your app available and are prepared for extra time during the review process. Some things to keep in mind: • 5.3.1 Sweepstakes and contests must be sponsored by the developer of the app. • 5.3.2 Official rules for sweepstakes, contests, and raffles must be presented in the app and make clear that Apple is not a sponsor or involved in the activity in any manner. • 5.3.3 Apps may not use in-app purchase to purchase credit or currency for use in conjunction with real money gaming of any kind, and may not enable people to purchase lottery or raffle tickets or initiate fund transfers in the app. • 5.3.4 Apps that offer real money gaming (e.g. Sports betting, poker, casino games, horse racing) or lotteries must have necessary licensing and permissions in the locations where the App is used, must be geo-restricted to those locations, and must be free on the App Store. Illegal gambling aids, including card counters, are not permitted on the App Store. Lottery apps must have consideration, chance, and a prize. • 5.4 VPN Apps Apps offering VPN services must utilize the API and must make a clear declaration of what user data will be collected and how it will be used. VPN apps must not violate local laws, and if you choose to make your VPN app available in a territory that requires a VPN license, you must provide your license information in the App Review Notes field. After You Submit Once you’ve submitted your app and metadata in iTunes Connect and you’re in the review process, here are some things to keep in mind: • Timing: App Review will examine your app as soon as we can, and we’ve been working hard to improve review times. Learn more about. • Status Updates: The current status of your app will be reflected in iTunes Connect, so you can keep an eye on things from there. • Expedite Requests: If you have a critical timing issue, you can. Please respect your fellow developers by seeking expedited review only when you truly need it. If we find you’re abusing this system, we may reject your requests going forward. • Release Date: If your release date is set for the future, the app will not appear on the App Store until that date, even if it is approved by App Review. And remember that it can take up to 24-hours for your app to appear on all selected storefronts. • Rejections: Our goal is to apply these guidelines fairly and consistently, but nobody’s perfect. If your app has been rejected and you have questions or would like to provide additional information, please use the Resolution Center to communicate directly with the App Review team. This may help get your app on the store, and it can help us improve the App Review process or identify a need for clarity in our policies. If you still disagree with the outcome, please. We’re excited to see what you come up with next!

It is a lowish end CPU AMD FX(tm)-6350 6 core processor and with motherboard + CPU + disk drive + fans consumes about 200 Watts, or 4.8 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per day. The Latest Zcash (ZEC) Miners to Use. Here is a quick list of the latest CPU and GPU miners available for mining the. Nheqminer, Zcash, Zcash cloud mining. In this video, I list the pros & cons of mining with Nicehash. I'm a total newb, I recently discovered this. Plugging these numbers into gives me an expected earning of ~ 0.004790 ETH (USD 0.06) per day or 0.033536 ETH (USD 0.39) per week. My cost of electricity @ ~ USD.17 per kWh is USD 0.816 per day which is 13.6x the value of the ETH earned. Compare the above to my 2 x R9 390X GPUs mining rig. Hashrate is ~ 62.8 MH/s. Again from the mining calculator, my expected earning is 1.210311 ETH (USD 14.16) per day or 8.4722 (USD 99.12) per week. Mining rig consumes ~ 700 watts. This is equal to 700 x 24 = 16,800 watt-hours per day, or 16.8 kWh. 16.8 kWh x USD.17 per kWh = USD 2.85 per day in electricity. Just remember that the cost of your GPUs may possibly not be recouped by the time that the Ethereum network switches from proof of work to proof of stake when GPU mining will be obsolete. Bitcoin mining is an interesting way of trying to make a few bitcoin tokens on the side, but it also serves a very important purpose in maintaining and keeping the bitcoin blockchain secure. Unlike regular fiat currencies (such as US dollars or euros) bitcoin assets are not controlled by a central government or bank and new bitcoin (BTC) cannot be printed and issued like paper money. Instead, bitcoin tokens are introduced into the market via a process known as “mining”. BTC are awarded to the miners who have solved the math problems necessary to verify bitcoin transactions. In this guide we’ll look at how mining works, why it’s a necessary component of bitcoin infrastructure, and whether it’s a good way of making a buck. Compare bitcoin cloud mining providers. • • • • What is mining? Whenever a transaction is made in bitcoin, a record of it is made on a block containing other recent transactions, like a page in a ledger. Once the block is full, bitcoin miners compete against each other to verify and validate the block and all its transactions by solving a complex cryptographic problem. The first miner to accomplish this is awarded a set amount of bitcoin, based on the mining difficulty at the time. The verified block is then added to the blockchain, a history of all blocks verified since the beginning of bitcoin, and transmitted to all users of bitcoin so that they can have the latest blockchain. Proof-of-work At the heart of bitcoin mining lies a hard, mathematical problem. The goal is to ensure that the process of adding a new block to the blockchain requires a lot of work. That helps to ensure that any hacker tampering with the transactions needs not only to mess with the transactions but also win the “race” of bitcoin mining. So how does it work? Basics of cryptography SHA-256 – the mining algorithm used by bitcoin – is a one-way cryptographic algorithm. When you pass a word through SHA-256 you will be given back an unrecognizable string of letters and numbers called a “HASH”. For example, the SHA-256 of the word “BUTTERFLY” (source) is “8c62ace4f9ef8ccd08ca6fb992a8524bb7dbdc0530654bd254c9da07a660949a” (HASH). This seemingly random string of letters and numbers has three important properties: • Only the word “BUTTERFLY” will ever give that specific HASH. • The word “BUTTERFLY” will always give back that exact HASH. • There is no way of figuring out the word “BUTTERFLY” if you only know the HASH. With this information, we can now start piecing together the mining process. The mining process Bitcoin mining involves three variables: the block, the mining difficulty and a random number. Here’s how it all comes together: Imagine our block consists of the word “BUTTERFLY” discussed earlier. In reality, the block would contain a list of recent, unverified transactions, but let’s keep it simple. In order for the block to be solved, bitcoin uses a deceptively simple test: If the HASH result of the block starts with a certain number of zeros, the block is considered verified. This number of zeros is the “mining difficulty” and is increased as more miners join the bitcoin network. For our example, let’s say that we have a mining difficulty of just two, ie, our HASH must start with two zeros. The problem: “BUTTERFLY” will always return the same HASH, and it doesn’t start with two zeros. So what we need is the third variable, a random number (called a NONCE). We take this number, combine it with “BUTTERFLY”, and HASH again. If it doesn’t start with two zeros, we change the number and try again, and because changing one small number changes the whole HASH result, there is no way to predict the number we’ll need to solve this! We repeat this process over and over until we find a number that, when combined with “BUTTERFLY”, gives us a HASH that starts with two zeros. That number is the solution to the block.

Become the best Bitcoin miner and learn how to mine Bitcoins with the best Bitcoin mining. Or GPU's and made concentrated mining. Bitcoin Cloud Mining. Mining makes sense if you plan to do it for fun, to learn or to support the security of Bitcoin and do not care if you make a profit. If you have access to large amounts of cheap electricity and the ability to manage a large installation and business, you can mine for a profit. If you want to get bitcoins based on a fixed amount of mining power, but you don't want to run the actual hardware yourself, you can purchase a mining contract. Another tool many people like to buy is a which enables people to load a debit card with funds via bitcoins. What is Bitcoin mining? Bitcoin mining is a lot like a giant lottery where you compete with your mining hardware with everyone on the network to earn bitcoins. Faster Bitcoin mining hardware is able to attempt more tries per second to win this lottery while the Bitcoin network itself adjusts roughly every two weeks to keep the rate of finding a winning block hash to every ten minutes. In the big picture, Bitcoin mining secures transactions that are recorded in Bitcon's public ledger, the block chain. By conducting a random lottery where electricity and specialized equipment are the price of admission, the cost to disrupt the Bitcoin network scales with the amount of hashing power that is being spent by all mining participants. Technical Background During mining, your Bitcoin mining hardware runs a (two rounds of SHA256) on what is called a. For each new hash that is tried, the mining software will use a different number as the random element of the block header, this number is called the nonce. Depending on the nonce and what else is in the block the hashing function will yield a hash which looks something like this: 93ef6f358fbb9d4c63735b7fe5bdaac821de96a53a9a You can look at this hash as a really long number. 'Now I can lay back and watch my Bitcoins being mined rather than spending heaps of money on my own equipment.' − Anonymous 'Thanks to Bitcoin Cloud Mining I am. Technical Background; Bitcoin Mining Hardware; Bitcoin Mining Software; Bitcoin Cloud Mining; Mining Infographic; What is Proof of Work? What is Bitcoin Mining. The massively parallel nature of some GPUs allowed for a 50x to 100x increase in bitcoin mining power while using far less power per unit of work. (It's a hexadecimal number, meaning the letters A-F are the digits 10-15.) To ensure that blocks are found roughly every ten minutes, there is what's called a difficulty target. To create a valid block your miner has to find a hash that is below the difficulty target. So if for example the difficulty target is 0000 any number that starts with a zero would be below the target, e.g.: 0787a6fd6e0782f7f8058fbef45f5c17fe89086ad4e78a1520d06505acb4522f If we lower the target to 0000 we now need two zeros in the beginning to be under it: 00db27957bd0ba06a5af9e6c2a7028cf9a08fa125e49f15cae4979 Because the target is such an unwieldy number with tons of digits, people generally use a simpler number to express the current target. This number is called the mining difficulty. The mining difficulty expresses how much harder the current block is to generate compared to the first block. So a difficulty of 70000 means to generate the current block you have to do 70000 times more work than had to do generating the first block. To be fair, back then mining hardware and algorithms were a lot slower and less optimized. To keep blocks coming roughly every 10 minutes, the difficulty is adjusted using a shared formula every 2016 blocks. The network tries to change it such that 2016 blocks at the current global network processing power take about 14 days. That's why, when the network power rises, the difficulty rises as well. Bitcoin Mining Hardware CPU In the beginning, mining with a CPU was the only way to mine bitcoins and was done using the original Satoshi client. In the quest to further secure the network and earn more bitcoins, miners innovated on many fronts and for years now, CPU mining has been relatively futile. You might mine for decades using your laptop without earning a single coin. GPU About a year and a half after the network started, it was discovered that high end graphics cards were much more efficient at bitcoin mining and the landscape changed. CPU bitcoin mining gave way to the GPU (Graphical Processing Unit). The massively parallel nature of some GPUs allowed for a 50x to 100x increase in bitcoin mining power while using far less power per unit of work. While any modern GPU can be used to mine, the AMD line of GPU architecture turned out to be far superior to the nVidia architecture for mining bitcoins and the ATI Radeon HD 5870 turned out to be the most cost effective choice at the time. FPGA As with the CPU to GPU transition, the bitcoin mining world progressed up the technology food chain to the Field Programmable Gate Array. With the successful launch of the Butterfly Labs FPGA 'Single', the bitcoin mining hardware landscape gave way to specially manufactured hardware dedicated to mining bitcoins. While the FPGAs didn't enjoy a 50x - 100x increase in mining speed as was seen with the transition from CPUs to GPUs, they provided a benefit through power efficiency and ease of use. A typical 600 MH/s graphics card consumed upwards of 400w of power, whereas a typical FPGA mining device would provide a hashrate of 826 MH/s at 80w of power. That 5x improvement allowed the first large bitcoin mining farms to be constructed at an operational profit. The bitcoin mining industry was born. ASIC The bitcoin mining world is now solidly in the Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) era. An ASIC is a chip designed specifically to do one thing and one thing only. Unlike FPGAs, an ASIC cannot be repurposed to perform other tasks. An ASIC designed to mine bitcoins can only mine bitcoins and will only ever mine bitcoins. The inflexibility of an ASIC is offset by the fact that it offers a 100x increase in hashing power while reducing power consumption compared to all the previous technologies. Unlike all the previous generations of hardware preceding ASIC, ASIC may be the 'end of the line' when it comes to disruptive mining technology. CPUs were replaced by GPUs which were in turn replaced by FPGAs which were replaced by ASICs. There is nothing to replace ASICs now or even in the immediate future. There will be stepwise refinement of the ASIC products and increases in efficiency, but nothing will offer the 50x to 100x increase in hashing power or 7x reduction in power usage that moves from previous technologies offered. This makes power consumption on an ASIC device the single most important factor of any ASIC product, as the expected useful lifetime of an ASIC mining device is longer than the entire history of bitcoin mining. It is conceivable that an ASIC device purchased today would still be mining in two years if the device is power efficient enough and the cost of electricity does not exceed it's output. Mining profitability is also dictated by the exchange rate, but under all circumstances the more power efficient the mining device, the more profitable it is. If you want to try your luck at bitcoin mining then this is probably the best deal. Bitcoin Mining Software There are two basic ways to mine: On your own or as part of a Bitcoin mining pool or with and be sure to. Almost all miners choose to mine in a pool because it smooths out the luck inherent in the Bitcoin mining process. Before you join a pool, make sure you have a so you have a place to store your bitcoins. Next you will need to join a mining pool and set your miner(s) to connect to that pool. With pool mining, the profit from each block any pool member generates is divided up among the members of the pool according to the amount of hashes they contributed. How much bandwidth does Bitcoin mining take? If you are using a for mining with a pool then the amount should be negligible with about 10MB/day. However, what you do need is exceptional connectivity so that you get any updates on the work as fast as possible. This gives the pool members a more frequent, steady payout (this is called reducing your variance), but your payout(s) can be decreased by whatever fee the pool might charge. Solo mining will give you large, infrequent payouts and pooled mining will give you small, frequent payouts, but both add up to the same amount if you're using a zero fee pool in the long-term. Bitcoin Cloud Mining By purchasing Bitcoin cloud mining contracts, investors can earn Bitcoins without dealing with the hassles of mining hardware, software, electricity, bandwidth or other offline issues. Being listed in this section is NOT an endorsement of these services and is to serve merely as a Bitcoin cloud mining comparison. There have been a tremendous amount of Bitcoin cloud mining scams.: Hashflare offers SHA-256 mining contracts and more profitable SHA-256 coins can be mined while automatic payouts are still in BTC. Customers must purchase at least 10 GH/s.: Genesis Mining is the largest Bitcoin and scrypt cloud mining provider. Genesis Mining offers three Bitcoin cloud mining plans that are reasonably priced. Zcash mining contracts are also available.: Hashing24 has been involved with Bitcoin mining since 2012. They have facilities in Iceland and Georgia. They use modern ASIC chips from BitFury deliver the maximum performance and efficiency possible. What is Bitcoin Mining? Bitcoin mining is the process of adding transaction records to Bitcoin's public ledger of past transactions. This ledger of past transactions is called the block chain as it is a chain of blocks. The block chain serves to confirm transactions to the rest of the network as having taken place. Bitcoin nodes use the block chain to distinguish legitimate Bitcoin transactions from attempts to re-spend coins that have already been spent elsewhere. Bitcoin mining is intentionally designed to be resource-intensive and difficult so that the number of blocks found each day by miners remains steady. Individual blocks must contain a proof of work to be considered valid. This proof of work is verified by other Bitcoin nodes each time they receive a block. Bitcoin uses the proof-of-work function. The primary purpose of mining is to allow Bitcoin nodes to reach a secure, tamper-resistant consensus. Mining is also the mechanism used to introduce Bitcoins into the system: Miners are paid any transaction fees as well as a 'subsidy' of newly created coins. This both serves the purpose of disseminating new coins in a decentralized manner as well as motivating people to provide security for the system. Bitcoin mining is so called because it resembles the mining of other commodities: it requires exertion and it slowly makes new currency available at a rate that resembles the rate at which commodities like gold are mined from the ground. What is Proof of Work? A is a piece of data which was difficult (costly, time-consuming) to produce so as to satisfy certain requirements. It must be trivial to check whether data satisfies said requirements. Producing a proof of work can be a random process with low probability, so that a lot of trial and error is required on average before a valid proof of work is generated. Bitcoin uses the Hashcash proof of work. What is Bitcoin Mining Difficulty? The Computationally-Difficult Problem Bitcoin mining a block is difficult because the SHA-256 hash of a block's header must be lower than or equal to the target in order for the block to be accepted by the network. This problem can be simplified for explanation purposes: The hash of a block must start with a certain number of zeros. The probability of calculating a hash that starts with many zeros is very low, therefore many attempts must be made. In order to generate a new hash each round, a nonce is incremented. See Proof of work for more information. The Bitcoin Network Difficulty Metric The is the measure of how difficult it is to find a new block compared to the easiest it can ever be. It is recalculated every 2016 blocks to a value such that the previous 2016 blocks would have been generated in exactly two weeks had everyone been mining at this difficulty. This will yield, on average, one block every ten minutes. As more miners join, the rate of block creation will go up. As the rate of block generation goes up, the difficulty rises to compensate which will push the rate of block creation back down. Any blocks released by malicious miners that do not meet the required difficulty target will simply be rejected by everyone on the network and thus will be worthless. The Block Reward When a block is discovered, the discoverer may award themselves a certain number of bitcoins, which is agreed-upon by everyone in the network. Currently this bounty is 25 bitcoins; this value will halve every 210,000 blocks. See Controlled Currency Supply or use a. Additionally, the miner is awarded the fees paid by users sending transactions. The fee is an incentive for the miner to include the transaction in their block. In the future, as the number of new bitcoins miners are allowed to create in each block dwindles, the fees will make up a much more important percentage of mining income.

Last updated June 13, 2017 Want to find the best Bitcoin cloud mining contracts? This post has you covered. Most Bitcoin Cloud Mining Companies are Scams Like the heading says, most cloud mining contracts are scams. Because it’s easy for companies to take peoples’ money, and then not pay out. A company can claim to be a cloud mining company without any proof of actually owning any hardware. So remember: 99% of cloud mining companies are scams. Which Companies Are Not Scams? There is only one cloud mining company we are willing to recommend on this site:. Just because they are not scams, however, does not mean that you will make a profit by buying contracts. Note: You need a wallet to receive payouts to. A secure hardware wallet like the is a good option. Genesis Mining Genesis Mining is a Hong Kong based company although its founders are from Germany and attend many Bitcoin conferences. You can read more about Genesis Mining on their. Offers three different Bitcoin mining cloud contracts. All plans are paid with a one time payment and are lifetime contracts: Gold: 100 GH/s plan that costs $19. Platinum: 2,000 GH/s plan that costs $340. Diamond: 10,000 GH/s plan that costs $1,600. Is Cloud Mining Profitable? It depends what your goals are with cloud mining. If your goal is to obtain bitcoins, then there is really no reason to cloud mine or even mine at all. You will get more bitcoins for your buck if you just! If you think mining is cool and want to try, then cloud mining still is not a good option. Grab a and run it at home. Just Want Bitcoins? If you just want bitcoins, mining is NOT the best way to obtain coins. Buying bitcoins is the EASIEST and FASTEST way to purchase bitcoins. Get $10 worth of free bitcoins when you buy $100 or more. Bitcoin Cloud Mining Comparison There is not much to compare, because we personally do not recommend buying any clooud mining contracts so we will not spend the time to compare the two companies above. But check back in to see if we find any new, legit cloud mining companies. Bitcoin Cloud Mining Scams History The reason there are so many cloud mining scams is because it is very easy for anyone in the world to setup a website. Once the website is setup it can claim that the company has a large mining facility. The company can act legit by sending initial payments to its customers. But after that it can just keep the already received payments for hash power and then make no further payments. In just the last few months, two cloud mining scams were uncovered: and. What Payment Methods do Cloud Mining Companies Accept? Most cloud mining companies accept Bitcoin, PayPal, and. If a cloud mining company accepts bitcoins then there is a good chance it is a scam. This is because Bitcoin payments cannot be reversed. Once the scam company receives your bitcoin payment you have no way to get your coins back. • • • • • • • • • • • • Are there Free Cloud Mining Trials? No company would give away free cloud mining; this is basically giving away free money. Any company offering free trials, especially if they require payment information, is most likely a scam. How does Bitcoin Cloud Mining Work? Cloud mining means a host company owns Bitcoin mining hardware and runs it at a warehouse. You pay the company and rent out some of the hardware. Based on the amount of hash power you rent, you will earn a share of payments from the cloud mining company for any revenue generated by the hash power you purchased. Cloud Mining Viruses There that land on computers and then use the computers’ power to mine bitcoins. Run a malware detector on your computer if you think you may have come under attack. Just buy Bitcoins! If you just want bitcoins, don’t bother with cloud mining. Auroramine is far too diffreauroramine is far too different from genesis mining and hashflare.

After the initial craze due to the scarcity of Zcash (ZEC) coins and the big demand the prices has skyrocketed, but now with the progressing and the total block reward almost at 4 ZEC things are starting to stabilize. The initial crazy high profit for mining and selling Zcash coins seems to be over and at the moment mining and selling ETH or ZEC does bring almost the same profit for some GPU miners, though not for all. Miners with older AMD Radeon 79×0 and 280X GPUs still have higher profit mining Zcash than Ethereum, but for users with RX 480 for example things are already on the line to switch back to Ethereum. Nvidia seems to be currently lagging as far as performance optimizations for Zcash go, so the profitability there could be better for another algorithm or mining for another perspective in the long term crypto coin might also be a viable option.

PROBLEM I want to mine Ether, but I do not want to use my machine and I do not want to invest on new hardware and pay thousand dollar electricity bills. SOLUTION: cloud mining aka using Amazon’s cloud servers Since GPU mining is set to be 100x more efficient than CPU with Ethereum, we need to look to renting GPU power on the cloud. The answer, apparently, is Amazon Web services EC2. On @paul_bxd revealed an inner mean (hashrate) of 24 MH/s using an AWS g2.8xlarge instance comparable to the benchmark of an AMD Radeon R9 280x: 23.2 MH/S which is the best in class for ethereum mining (Nvidia Geforce is far less efficient) The tutorial is divided in two parts. In the first, we are going to create an Ubuntu Linux virtual machine on Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud); in the second part, we are going to install Ethereum C++ miner on Ubuntu. ##Part 1 - Creating an Ubuntu Linux virtual machine on AWS EC2 (Amazon Web Services, Elastic Compute Cloud) ###Step 1 - Get an AWS account First things first:. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a cloud computing service provided by Amazon, the well known e-commerce giant. Click on the top-right button: As you can see, the registration process is very handy, since you can sign-in with your existing Amazon account. You may notice that AWS offers the EC2 service free for 750 hrs/month, for 12 months. However, that is for the Linux t2.micro instance. That is good for testing, but not for mining Ethereum. I will tell you later what instance to select to maximize the GPU power. Once you have registered on, you will be presented with a big list of the services offered by Amazon. Click on EC2 (stands for, Elastic Compute Cloud), that will give you GPU horsepower for mining the Ethereum blockchain. ###Step 2 - Setup the pre-built AMI (Amazon Machine Image) on AWS EC2 An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) “provides the information required to launch an instance, which is a virtual server in the cloud”. For our purposes, we need to use the following AMI: • IMAGE: ami-2cbf3e44 for US-East (Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS (HVM) – CUDA 6.5) • STORAGE: Use at least 8 GB, 20+ GB recommended How can we find it? To find a Linux AMI using the Images page: • Open the Amazon EC2 console. • From the navigation bar, select US East (N.Virginia); • In the navigation pane, click Images -> AMIs; • Switch to Public Images next to the search filter (the default is “Owned by Me” which will be at first empty, since you do not yet own any AMI) • Click on the search filter and then (search by) AMI ID -> ami-2cbf3e44 Note: Make always sure you are in the correct region (US East, N.Virginia as we said) otherwise you will not see the AMI we are insterested in on the list. The ami-2cbf3e44, like all the ubuntu 14.04 images, is supported by Ethereum Frontier, but in addition this pre-built AMI has all the NVIDIA GPU drivers, OpenCL, etc all pre-installed. • Select the ami-2cbf3e44 and click on the blue button, “Launch”. ###Step 3 - Customize and review your instance Now we need to customize the instance to make sure we are doing things right. • You will be redirected to “Step 2: Choose an Instance Type” As we said in the intro, we need a GPU instance to mine Ethereum. If you scroll down the list you will see 2 GPU instances. • We will go for the g2.2xlarge or g2.8xlarge (if you skip this step, you will not have an nvidia device) • Just click on the empty box on the left to choose the instance Note: At this point, if you want you can play with the t2.micro free instance before proceeding spending money. • Click on “next” and you will be redirected to “configure instance details” to access advanced settings for your instance. We suggest leaving everything as is, unless you feel extremely comfortable in what you are doing. A particularly interesting feature is the “purchasing options”: if you click on “request spot instances” you can specify the bid parameters for purchasing the computational power needed to launch your instance. Don’t overlook this feature if you want to be in control of the instance costs. As Amazon suggests: you have the option to request Spot Instances and specify the maximum price you are willing to pay per instance hour. If you bid higher than the current Spot Price, your Spot Instance is launched and will be charged at the current Spot Price. Spot Prices often are significantly lower than On-Demand prices, so using Spot Instances for flexible, interruption-tolerant applications can lower your instance costs by up to 90%. Learn more about Spot Instances: We want to highligth this: IF YOU ARE INTERRUPTION-TOLERANT! • Click on “next” and you will be redirected to the “add storage” screen. We recommend to use at least 20+ GB. Otherwise you will run out of space pretty soon!:) In any case, just do not edit these settings unless you are comfortable about what you are doing. (ask the guide creators) • Click on “next” and you will be redirected to the “tag instance” screen. We recommend not to edit these settings. • Click on “next” and you will be redirected to the “configure security group” screen. It is important that you upgrade the security settings and choose “My IP” under the tag “Source”. By doing so, only you (i.e., your IP) will be able to launch the instance. Indeed, you do not want all the internet to be able to launch your instance!! • We are ready, just click “Review and launch” at the bottom and “Launch” in the next screen. ###Step 4 - Launch You will now be prompted to create your access key aka “Key pair”. To use a virtual machine we first need an access key (keep it private!). Amazon AWS access keys consist of a public key and a private key. • Scroll the dropdown menu to “Create new key pair” • Type a name for the access key • A.pem file will be automatically downloaded to your local machine, this is your private key. • Backup this file (for example, storing it in a USB drive) since you will need this for remote access to your virtual machine on the AWS cloud • Then click “Launch Instances” • All right, now on “View instances” Your instance should be pre-selected. Wait about 5 minutes for the Initializing process. Then click connect. ###Step 5 - Connect your machine On your Mac: • Put your.pem file in the folder Applications > Utilities • Launch Terminal • Type or copy/paste. ``` chmod 400 /Applications/Utilities/youraccesskeyname.pem ssh -i /Applications/Utilities/youraccesskeyname.pem ``` Note: You will need to use this line every time you close Terminal and want to start again • Type yes • You should get a confirmation message: Welcome to Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0–37-generic x86_64) On Windows: To connect to your instance on Windows you will have to follow additional steps: • Install PuTTY: Download and install PuTTY from the. Be sure to install the entire suite. • Convert your private key in.ppk format using PuTTYgen: • Start PuTTYgen (for example, from the Start menu, click All Programs > PuTTY > PuTTYgen). • Under Type of key to generate, select SSH-2 RSA. • Click Load. By default, PuTTYgen displays only files with the extension.ppk. To locate your.pem file, select the option to display files of all types. • Select your.pem file for the key pair that you specified when you launch your instance, and then click Open. Click OK to dismiss the confirmation dialog box. • Click Save private key to save the key in the format that PuTTY can use. PuTTYgen displays a warning about saving the key without a passphrase. Note: A passphrase on a private key is an extra layer of protection, so even if your private key is discovered, it can’t be used without the passphrase. The downside to using a passphrase is that it makes automation harder because human intervention is needed to log on to an instance, or copy files to an instance. • Specify the same name for the key that you used for the key pair (for example, my-key-pair). PuTTY automatically adds the.ppk file extension. • Your private key is now in the correct format for use with PuTTY. • You can now connect to your instance using PuTTY’s SSH client. • Start PuTTY (from the Start menu, click All Programs > PuTTY > PuTTY). • In the Category pane, select Session and complete the following fields: • In the Host Name box, enter “_dns_name”. Replace public_dns_name with the public DNS for your instance, which you can view by using the EC2 console (check the Public DNS column; if this column is hidden, click the Show/Hide icon and select Public DNS). • Under Connection type, select SSH. • Ensure that Port is 22. • Now you have to link your session to the private key you previously created • In the Category pane, expand Connection, expand SSH, and then select Auth. • Click Browse. • Select the.ppk file that you generated for your key pair, and then click Open. • (Optional) If you plan to start this session again later, you can save the session information for future use. Select Session in the Category tree, enter a name for the session in Saved Sessions, and then click Save. • Click Open to start the PuTTY session. • If this is the first time you have connected to this instance, PuTTY displays a security alert dialog box that asks whether you trust the host you are connecting to. A window opens and you are connected to your instance. Note: If you specified a passphrase when you converted your private key to PuTTY’s format, you must provide that passphrase when you log in to the instance. Note 2: If these steps don’t work the first time, quit PuTTY and do it again. Click for troubleshooting ##Part 2 - Installing Ethereum on your instance and start mining Ethereum client comes in 3 implementations. One written in, another written in, and the third written in. At the moment, the only implementation supporting GPU mining is the. However, the live testnet is running on the (oh dear). Therefore, you will need the Go implementation to read, synchronize the chain and credit Ether on your account, but it is the C++ miner to have GPU support. Anyway ###Step 1 - Install geth (the Go-Ethereum command line client) • Run the following commands to install the latest developer version of go-ethereum. Geth This command works exclusively with the ubuntu instance we suggested. You will need to say “y” to the Ethereum agreement. This command will also “download” the full blockchain to your cloud machine before you can start mining. That is why we recommended to get at least 20+ GB of space! Depending on how far we went into the livenet, this could take several hours (or even a full day!). Be patient:) • You will know that geth has finishing catching up with (i.e. Downloading) the blockchain when instead of importing - say - 256 blocks at a time. Imported 1 block(s) (0 queued 0 ignored) in 3.2345ms #block_number. Also, you can see what is the current block of the livenet by viewing the Ethereum net stats dashboard under the heading Best Block. For example, if under Best Block you have 610,002 and you reach this number in the download process, then you have finished downloading the blockchain. • Once this process is completed, you can type ctrl+c to exit geth ###Step 3 - Install the C++ miner (ethminer) • Install ethminer. Again, following the. Let’s do this, assuming you have done correctly Step 1 (i.e. You have already added the PPA repository). Sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum-qt sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install cpp-ethereum Note: Do not confuse Eth (the Command Line Interface client of C++ Ethereum) and EthMiner (which is the standalone miner). Both come with the installation package but they are two different things Note 2: If you were just testing this guide with the free micro instance you have now reached a dead end, in fact you will read this message “modprobe: ERROR: could not insert ‘ nvidia’: No such device” The system is telling you that the gpu, an nvidia graphic card, is missing. So, start over the guide and get the g2.8xlarge instance before proceeding any further. • Benchmark ethminer to check that your system is in order: (should give you your current hashrate, roughly 6MH/s). Geth account new • The system will ask for a ‘Passphrase”, aka a password. After the password is inputted (twice), you will be given an Address. Back it up in a notepad. Note: If you lose your keys, you lose access to the account and its ether balance, permanently. Private keys cannot be generated from public ones (obviously) and the password you’re asked for when creating the account is just a means to encrypt the private key, not regenerate it. Therefore, remember your password!!!! • You can view if the account generation was successful with. Geth console > web3.fromWei(eth.getBalance(eth.coinbase), 'ether') 6.5 • For more information on accounts and user interaction with accounts visit the Go-ethereum Wiki - Step 5 - Run the syncro between the Go and C++ clients and start mining Ether (finally!) We’re going to want both the RPC client (written in Go) and the Miner (written in C++) to run simultaneously. We also want them to run in the background so that in case we drop our SSH connection, the RPC and Miner keep running. To do that, we’re going to use a tool called screen. First lets start the Geth RPC client. Screen ethminer -G --opencl-device 0 Then hit control-A then hit control-D. Enter screen -ls and verify that you have two detached screens running in the background. You can enter back into that screen and check the output by entering screen -x ID_OF_SCREEN. You can exit out re-detach from the screen by entering control-A, then control-D Note: If you’re using the larger g2 instance with 4 GPUs (the 2.8) you may need to start ethminer 4 times, each time adding a –opencl-device argument So, you will need to start ethminer 3 more times with these commands. Ethminer -G --opencl-device 1 ethminer -G --opencl-device 2 ethminer -G --opencl-device 3 • Now you should be able to see ethminer getting work packages from geth and hopefully even “mined a block” logs in geth. Note: If you encounter any issue or bug on this part 2 of the guide, please see the notes and comments at Q&A Q: Ethereum blockchain sync: how long does it take to download the full blockchain? A: You have to wait few hours, depending on the instance of your choice (one or 4 cores) and other factors. Q: What if I quit Terminal and turn off my local computer? Q: Do I need to leave my computer always on, can I close Terminal? A: You should know that your new cloud machine is always working and was already “logged in”. (Unless you terminate the instance) Next time you want to connect to your instance with Terminal and check things, you just need to type these lines. Ssh -i /Applications/Utilities/youraccesskeyname.pem (You don’t need to re-install the client and the miner every time.) You don’t even need to login, as you may expect. ###Step 7 - Stopping or Terminating your instance Once you are done with your mining you have two choices: • Stop the instance. This will shut down the instance, but makes it easy to restart it. Amazon AWS does not charge hourly usage for a stopped instance, but does charge for the storage. To stop an instance: • In the navigation pane, click Instances, and select the instance. • Click Actions, select Instance State, and then click Stop. • In the confirmation dialog box, click Yes, Stop. It can take a few minutes for the instance to stop. • To restart the stopped instance, select the instance, click Actions, select Instance State, and then click Start. • In the confirmation dialog box, click Yes, Start. It can take a few minutes for the instance to enter the running state. • Terminate the instance. This will stop you incurring charges, but you cannot connect to or restart an instance after you’ve terminated it. To terminate an instance: • Open the Amazon EC2 console. • In the navigation pane, click Instances. • Select the instance, click Actions, select Instance State, and then click Terminate. • Click Yes, Terminate when prompted for confirmation. Thanks to paul_bxd of the Ethereum forum who initiated us to cloud mining with Ethereum and AWS EC2. Without his help and resources we would not be able to put this guide together. Troubleshooting ======= Errors JSON-RPC error re-generate the DAG Failed: broken pipe/ connection timeout (everything is stuck and you can’t connect to your instance) this can happen when you have a dynamic ip with your internet connection. Update the “my ip” solution here: one core of the gpu says: bus error just re-initiate the core with the command above Special announcement A special announcement by @paul_bxd Now we are offering free space to host a server you buy. We can provide free power, internet and cooling. It’s 2 x more powerful than the Large GPU instance on AWS, and since AWS is $2.60 per hour you will recoup your investment in just 22 days and own a physical miner!

HashFlare is a bitcoin cloud mining platform that promises fixed fees, instant withdrawals, and multi-pool support. Read our HashFlare review to find out how it works. What Is HashFlare? HashFlare, found online at HashFlare.io, is a that promises to offer low fees, unlimited term contracts, and good ROIs. Like other cloud mining companies, HashFlare aims to make cloud mining accessible to all users – even those with. With HashFlare, you pay to join, then receive a proportionate share of the company’s computing output. Mining cryptocurrencies is complex. P2P rigs can be rented from miners Free pool. Best Ethereum Cloud Mining. Best Ethereum Cloud Mining Websites. Below are the best websites for you to buy. HashFlare wants to make it easy. The service has operated since November 2015. Today, they mine,,, and. The company, which goes by the name HashCoins, is based in Tallinn, Estonia. How Does HashFlare Work? HashFlare works similar to other cloud mining operations. You pay to join the company, then receive a proportionate share of the company’s computing power. The HashFlare datacenters, according to the official website, “house hundreds of miners”. Those computers constantly mine different cryptocurrencies. You earn a share of those based on the amount of money you contributed to the cloud mining operation. Some of the key features of the HashFlare platform include: • Hardware: HashFlare doesn’t go into rich detail about its mining rigs. It describes each miner as “a highly efficient piece of mining equipment specially designed for cryptocurrency mining.” They also claim that their datacenters “house hundreds of miners”. • Pools: HashFlare’s miners are connected to different pools. The company encourages users to find the most profitable combination. • Payout: All mined cryptocurrency is distributed among all HashFlare customers according to their share of hashrate. HashFlare Features HashFlare promises to offer all of the following features: • Instant Mining and Payouts: HashFlare’s mining starts immediately after payment is confirmed. The first payouts occur within 24 hours. • Unlimited Term Contract: There is no time limit and no expiry date. You can use the HashFlare system for as long as you like. However, some of the altcoin contracts come with 1 year contracts. It’s also important to note that your contract is only valid for as long as the mining operation is profitable. • Instant Withdrawals: You can receive your money instantly after withdrawal. • Detailed Statistics: You can view all mining information in real-time, at any point from any location. • Pool Allocation: You can decide which pools to dedicate your hrashrate to. Users are encouraged to find the most profitable combination. • Fixed Fees: There are no hidden fees or commissions on HashFlare. Every single transaction is visible to you. Overall, HashFlare has designed its platform to make mining accessible to anyone. About HashCoins HashFlare is operated by a company called HashCoins. HashCoins makes a variety of cryptotechnology products and services. They offer investment opportunities in the industry, for example, as well as mining equipment, development, and more. HashCoins was founded in 2013 in Tallinn, Estonia. However, the company claims that its team has been “involved with cryptocurrencies since the and has over 3 years of experience in the field of mining cryptocurrencies.” The company created HashFlare in 2015 with the goal of making mining easy, affordable, and accessible to average users. Been successfully trialling Hashflare for 6 months now and just upped my investment substantially after analysing the returns I’m getting. I have reinvestment switch on and make a compound increase in hashpower of 0.6% per day, try and get that anywhere else! Let it build for a year or so and then start to to take an income from it. 10Th/s will build to over 80Th/s in a year! (That’s without the predicted increase in the price of bitcoin as it starts to be seen as a mainstream investment asset rather than a coin). I’d say worth a try with $100, analyse the return and then go for it. A couple of days ago I purchased $1500-00 worth of SHA-256 from Hashflare Payment done with Bitcoins. Payment has been confirmed but my purchase status at Hashflare remains on Pending. I’m currently not too impressed and wish I had never started with Hashflare. I also noticed that withdraws have also been frozen due to high demand on system. Support indicated that it could take 10 days before they get to my support question. If I could go back in time I would not use HashFlare. Bitconnect works much better. You may earn less via Bitconnect but currently I’ve possibly lost everything via HashFlare. I paid in BTC to Hashflare with in 10-15 minuets my payment was confermed and was mining. Not that you have to pay with BTC, credit or debit is good too. I am starting small with a plan, reinvest for 90 days and draw out every other day till I get it like I like it. And draw every day. Then put it back in (risky) but i like to gamble. Do the same trick, now i dont know if i can put it all back in after what comes out of that. But if i pull it off and BTC hits i will be on my way to being my own boss.

Share • Facebook • Tweet • Pinterest • Email I’ve never been a name-brand fan boy. Well, maybe when I was in middle school, and both the boys and the girls felt it necessary to wear Guess jeans instead of Levi and Starter jackets instead of Champion or whatever the off-brand was. But since I was 14, blue jeans were blue jeans and gray hoodies were gray hoodies. I bought my purely because of its spec sheet, not the Blue Oval on the hood. So, here we are with the. It’s a winner on the window sticker alone, most notably with price, but also with options and stats -- it even has a great warranty. If I was looking for a four-seat luxury sedan, it would be on my short list. Power from the V6 takes a second to come on, but passing maneuvers aren’t a problem when you put your foot firmly to the floor. It’ll cruise at triple-digit speeds all day without a worry. Not that I did that, but it will. The eight-speed auto isn’t sporty, but it’s smooth at normal speeds and in sport mode, doesn’t feel sluggish. I kept it in sport most of the time, which seemed to have the throttle tip-in that I like. The steering wheel feels insulated from the road, and in this case it makes sense. When I’m eating up highway miles, or just cruising down one of metro Detroit’s surface streets, I don’t want to feel every bump or groove in the road. Same goes for the suspension -- nice and insulated. When you do hit a pothole, it’s just a soft thud inside the cabin. It’s not a bang or clang. The exterior is classy, as Trump would say. I personally love it in black or white, but this burgundy example ain’t bad, either. The new nose is great; it looks less like a port and more like its own thing. The rear too -- it looks like a Hyundai, but it says luxury, along with the fastback silhouette. Throw some jump seats in there and it’s a Tesla, almost. My one complaint is the interior, and it’s just because it seems so busy. There are about five different materials and textures. Some of it looks like it’s trying to be futuristic, but other stuff looks like a classic luxury car. Both armrests are a little hard too, and that’s a literal pain when you have pointy elbows like yours truly. The seats are comfy though -- almost Lexus nice -- and the movements of things, the gear shift, the door handles, even the turn signals have nice action to them. At 50 grand, you get nearly everything you’d ever need. Sunroof, check. Navigation, check. Premium audio and rearview cameras, check and check. Smart cruise control, check, check, check. I pulled up next to a guy with what looked like a maxed-out black Bimmer 5-Series. He looked, I looked, we both nodded. His could have easily been in the $70,000 range. Mine barely cracked $50K. I guess if I’m paying for speed, which is very important to me, I would go name-brand. I think Hyundai can do 90 percent of what Mercedes does, for 70 percent of the price. --Jake Lingeman, road test editor. OTHER VOICES: I’ve said it a thousand times: A Genesis is a terrific midsize luxury sedan. And I don’t just mean a terrific midsize luxury sedan for, I mean a terrific midsize luxury sedan period -- perhaps competitive with the Germans, definitely on par with Lexus. Or maybe better. Indeed this is a smooth, fast(ish) sedan. Also a remarkably quiet and stable one at all speeds. The interior appears top-notch -- good quality, nicely arranged, comfortable seats, serene. The V6’s 311 hp is smooth and the shifts imperceptible. Booth the throttle and it gets down the road smartly. The chassis feels rock-solid and the car traverses Detroit roads quietly and smoothly. Driving this car is calming, and sometimes after a long day, that’s what you need. There’s a lot of chatter -- positive and negative -- about a $50,000+ Hyundai. With 2016 sales up to about 3,800 a month compared to 3,000 a month last year, there’s certainly a group of folks who think it’s worth it -- in March ’16 it outsold the BMW 5-Series,, and Lexus GS. This Hyundai is a smokin’ deal, but it’s more than that. It’s a good car, period. Clearly people are starting to notice. The sales momentum makes Hyundai launching a dedicated luxury division, Genesis, even more interesting. It’s the first time an automaker has tried it since the late ’80s, when Nissan and Toyota launched Infiniti and Lexus. An updated Equus called G90 starts things off next year, with small and midsize sedans following, then three SUVs. Hyundai ain’t playin’. It’s early days, and I am not sure the Germans should be nervous. But if I ran Cadillac or Lexus, I’d be watching verrrrrrry carefully. |
