The 3 Top Bitcoin Mining Methods Bitcoin mining can be done in the cloud, no mining rig required. sorbetto / DigitalVision Vectors
Bitcoin mining is the method in which transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain are confirmed and processed. If there were no Bitcoin miners, the Bitcoin cryptocurrency would cease to function as no transactions would be confirmed.
Those who perform the mining process are referred to as Bitcoin miners and they're rewarded for their assistance with a percentage of the transaction fee charged to the Bitcoin user.
Mining Bitcoin can be an effective way to earn extra money and many individuals have now become full-time Bitcoin miners. Here are the three main ways to mine Bitcoin and start earning money.
Once the Bitcoin Miner app is downloaded, users simply need to enter their Bitcoin wallet's address in the Payout Address settings screen and then press the prominent Start button. That's all there is to it.
The more powerful your device is, the more Bitcoin transactions it will be able to process. This means that a Windows Phone may not earn much Bitcoin but a Windows 10 computer that can perform heavy duty tasks like video editing and playing major video game titles does have the potential to earn quite a bit.
Beginner: Mine Bitcoin in the Cloud
A popular way to get in on the cryptocurrency mining craze is to pay someone else to do it for you. Referred to as cloud mining, this process involves signing up for an account on a third-party's website and paying them to mine Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for you.
Typically, the more money you pay, the more cryptocurrency your account will be able to mine.
Cloud mining contracts usually last for a minimum of a year or so though some can continue indefinitely. Mined cryptocurrency is sent to your designated wallet address on a regular basis which makes it a cool way to earn residual income on a weekly (or sometimes daily) basis. The cryptocurrency that's mined almost always covers the cost of the initial payment.
Genesis Mining is one of the more trustworthy cloud mining companies around. Their founder and CEO has even given a TED Talk about its creation and the early days of Bitcoin mining. Genesis Mining offers Bitcoin mining contracts in addition to Litecoin, Ethereum, Monero, and a range of other cryptocurrencies.
Advanced: Building a Bitcoin Mining Rig
Those looking to really invest in cryptocurrency mining will need to buy an application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC) hardware device, often referred to as a mining rig. These are essentially processors that are made solely for mining Bitcoin and other cryptocoins and are intended to run non-stop all day, every day.
ASIC miners are generally quite expensive and sell for several thousand dollars.
Running such a device also consumes a lot of electricity so it can take a while, often over a year of continuous mining, to begin earning a profit.
The most-popular brand of ASIC miners is Bitmain with their Antminer miners. They often release newer models of their miners that are more efficient at mining Bitcoin and consuming energy and provide consumers with comprehensive support and written set-up guides aimed at both advanced miners and complete beginners.
When using an ASIC mining device, you'll also need to download advanced mining software and join a mining pool. The software will tell the ASIC what to mine, where to mine, and who to send the mined Bitcoin to while the mining pool is a group of other miners that choose to help each other mine together and share the rewards between them.
The most commonly recommended mining pool and program is Slush Pool and CGminer respectively however those using a Bitmain miner may prefer to use their own program and mining pool due to their convenience and user-friendly interface.
Why You Should Mine Bitcoin
In addition to earning extra money, mining a cryptocurrency can also be a way to support your preferred coin. Miners are needed to process all transactions on a crypto coin's blockchain so the more miners there are, the faster and more stable the coin will be.
Why You Shouldn't Do Bitcoin Mining
Mining Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies consumes a lot of money, time, and resources. For most people it can be almost as rewarding to simply purchase some Bitcoin from a service like Coinbase or CoinJar and let it increase in value while sitting in a wallet doing nothing.

In 2013, Jackson Palmer started paying close attention to cryptocurrencies — bitcoin, and everything that came after. Things seemed a little bubbly.
Also big back in 2013: Doge, an Internet meme that featured an adorable dog and strange syntax
Jackson sent off a random tweet about “Dogecoin” — just a throwaway joke. But one thing led to another, and Dogecoin became a real thing. Jackson tried to keep Dogecoin light and fun — it was for learning about cryptocurrency, and giving money to charity.
Then things turned dark.
On today’s show, Jackson tells us the story of Dogecoin — a joke that is now worth $1.4 billion.

Bitcoin is a form of digital currency, created and held electronically. No one controls it. Bitcoins aren’t printed, like dollars pounds or euros - they’re produced by lots of people around the world, using software on computers. It’s the first example of a growing category of money known as crypto currency.
The exchange rate of Bitcoin has grown from less than $0.0001 to $300 in less than 5 years and is still going strong.
What are Crypto Currencies?
A cryptocurrency (such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Feathercoin, etc.) is a peer-to-peer, digital currency which relies on the principles of cryptography to validate the transactions and generation of the currency itself.
What are the Advantages of Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a zero trust network with many advantages.
Payment Freedom - Instant transactions
With Bitcoin it is possible to send and receive any amount of money instantly anywhere in the world at any time. No bank holidays. No borders. No imposed limits. Bitcoin allows its users to be in full control of their money.
Very low transaction fees
Bitcoin payments are currently processed with either no fees or extremely small fees.
Fewer risks for merchants
Bitcoin transactions are secure, irreversible, and do not contain customers’ sensitive or personal information. This protects merchants from losses caused by fraud. The net results are lower fees, larger markets, and fewer administrative costs.
Security and Control
Bitcoin users are in full control of their transactions; it is impossible for merchants to force unwanted or unnoticed charges as can happen with other payment methods. Bitcoin payments can be made without personal information tied to the transaction. This offers strong protection against identity theft.
What is an Online Wallet?
An Online Wallet allows users to centrally store and control their online shopping information and digital currencies.
QoinPro
QoinPro is a multi-currency Online Wallet that aims to promote adoption by giving her users free coins every 24 hours and that allows her users to centrally store and control their digital currencies.
QoinPro allows you to buy, use and accept cryptocurrencies (such as bitcoin). Most wallets are designed for a single cryptocurrency, however QoinPro is designed to be able to handle multiple crypto currencies.

Prepare for the coming deluge of digital currencies—and meet the people who would control them
The Pembury Tavern sits in a modest 19th-century building at the corner of five roads in Hackney, a relatively poor neighborhood in east London. There is little to distinguish it from the hundreds of other pubs sprinkled around the area, except for one thing: The Pembury made headlines in late June for becoming the first pub to accept bitcoins, the digital currency that earlier this year experienced a brief bubble—and a bit of fame—when it traded for over $250 to one bitcoin before quickly falling back to around $100. One evening last week, alongside an office party, scattered groups of friends and the occasional lone drinker, a disparate set of men (and one woman) gathered around a table to talk about Litecoin, a digital currency whose proponents push it as the silver to Bitcoin’s gold.
The attendees were a mixed bunch. One worked at a company that tests apps, another at a financial technology fund, and a third was a part-time Tube driver who spends his spare time trying to organize people into some sort of anarcho-libertarian movement. The convenor of the meeting, a computer-science doctoral student in London, enthused about Litecoin, which is based on Bitcoin, as the next big thing.
Both bitcoins and litecoins are essentially strings of numbers that have to be discovered, or “mined,” by using a computer to decipher codes. Once mined, they can be used as currency and exchanged with other currencies. Both are capped: There can be no more than 21 million bitcoins and 84 million litecoins in circulation. They are set up so that the more are mined, the harder it gets to mine new ones. Though more than half of all bitcoins have already been mined since its creation in 2009, it will take until 2140 for the last one to be found.
Bitcoin, the convenor said, is already is too big and increasingly difficult to mine without groups of peers to pool resources with. And those pools sometimes come under attack from rival groups, rendering a whole day’s work pointless. The returns do not justify the effort (see chart below).
Bitcoin miners’ revenue minus estimated electricity and bandwidth costs. (Blockchain.info)
But look at Litecoin, he argued. The supply remaining is greater. It is also a harder system to fool, he said, because the mechanisms that determine whether a miner really has done the mathematical calculations to generate a litecoin are more secure. Moreover, Bitcoin has reached a stage where miners are using special machines that are useless for any other purpose. Litecoin can still be made using normal computers.
Since the start of the year, the value of a litecoin has risen from $0.07 to about $2.50. And it has begun to fulfill the most important characteristic of any currency: It is winning the trust of users for transactions. “They’re already accepting it for payments for drugs online,” the doctoral candidate explained.
An uncertain future
There lies the nub of the problem with digital currencies. Litecoin, and before it Bitcoin, first gained traction in the corners of the internet where most forms of payment will not go. In unregulated marketplaces on Tor, a software that renders its users anonymous, Bitcoin and Litecoin are preferred methods of payment for contraband goods. As a result, crypto-currencies (so called because they are created using cryptographic algorithms) have come to be associated with crime: money-laundering, tax evasion, trafficking.
No wonder governments and big firms are tetchy about its use. Last week Thailand’s central bank issued a preliminary ruling that it is illegal to to use bitcoins. Similarly, Apple has not banned Bitcoin but is extremely cautious about it. In May, the US government shut down payment providers that forwarded money on to Bitcoin exchanges. And even without government, the companies that facilitate trade in digital currencies are not helping themselves. Mt. Gox, the biggest Bitcoin exchange, finds itself facing a lawsuit for breach of contract with Coinlab, a payments company.
On the other hand, the Israel Bar Association last week made the first move towards authorizing the use of Bitcoin for payments to attorneys. In what will be a significant decision, a US judge ruled on Wednesday (Aug. 7) that for all practical purposes, Bitcoin is money. For participants in the digital-currency economy, it is hard to know what to make of these mixed messages.
Ven do we get there
The day after the pub meeting, I met another proponent of digital currencies—or digital assets, as he referred to them. Stan Stalnaker is the founder of Ven, a currency used by members of Hub Culture, a social network he also founded. It too is better than Bitcoin, Stalnaker explains over a coffee at a cafe that does not accept any form of non-cash payment except old-fashioned credit cards.
If we had met at one of the “hubs” (co-working spaces) run by Hub Culture, we would have been able to pay with ven. Members use ven to buy coffee as well as to trade goods and as non-tangible things such as time on the web service. “It’s a little bit like going to a virtual country. You arrive inside the borders of a hub and that’s the currency we use,” says Stalnaker.
One US dollar buys between eight and nine ven, depending on the exchange rate. Stalnaker says that his currency has several advantages. Its value is based on a basket of big currencies and commodities, such as gold, silver, wheat and carbon credits. That, he says, makes it more stable than the volatile Bitcoin, likening it to an exchange-traded fund. Like other digital currencies, it also allows for easy transfers across borders but without the onerous fees charged by banks and remittance companies. And since it includes carbon credits, it is environmentally friendly (if you believe carbon credits actually work).
Crypto-currencies such as Bitcoin or Litecoin are drastically different from social currencies like Ven or the now deceased Facebook Credits. The first kind promise anonymity, have no central exchange mechanism, and their mining requires technical skill and cryptography. The second class are transparent and centralized, and can be created in various ways.
Ven’s creator has big plans for it. He wants it to be used for online purchases on mobile. He sees it being traded on the open market. His brochure grandly calls it “the internet’s reserve currency.”
Mining for DATA
One way to tackle the haphazard manner in which virtual currencies are evolving is to create a self-regulatory organization. Such a body could set standards for its members (and if it grew big enough, impart legitimacy through membership); lobby for recognition with governments; and help protect the interests of the people putting their money into digital assets. It could work with tax authorities, banks and financial institutions to integrate emerging currencies into the existing financial system. Most importantly, it could help remedy the perception of new currencies as a facilitator of crime: After all, cash too is anonymous, untraceable and used for illegal purchases.
The first such effort became visible last week, with the announcement of the formation of a committee to discuss the formation of a body called the Digital Asset Transfer Authority (DATA). Its list of initial members includes exchanges (which handle transactions between digital currencies and national ones), payment mechanisms, venture capitalists, founders of yet more digital currencies such as Ripple and Ven, and the Bitcoin Foundation, a non-profit established to promote and standardize Bitcoin. (Notable for its absence is Mt. Gox, though it is represented through its membership of the Bitcoin Foundation.)
It is not surprising that these groups are setting up a “committee to establish” a self-regulatory body rather than the body itself. Considering the suspicions surrounding digital currencies in general and Bitcoin in particular, the founders of DATA need all the support they can get. There are also clear advantages to be being seen as the first to do something. If DATA manages to establish itself as the go-to body for all matters related to digital currencies, it has a chance of setting the standards and influencing laws and rules as they are written. The rush to go public is also a signal from the industry that it is willing to bring some order to the digital-asset economy before governments decide to do it themselves.
The US Treasury, and its agency for fighting money laundering, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), will be watching closely. In March, it released guidance explaining how its regulations should apply to virtual currencies. In a meeting with some of the founders of DATA soon after, it indicated it would like to see a self-regulatory body evolve from within the industry.
Two sides of the same coin
What unites the various forms of digital currency is the belief of people who hold and trade them that there is a lot of real money to be made. The PhD candidate I met at the Pembury Tavern in Hackney told me he doesn’t use Bitcoin or Litecoin to actually pay for things. Instead he spends part of his day trading the currencies for profit. Stalnaker, an entrepreneur, believes that digital currencies could be a “new asset class” to rival the rise of derivatives in the 1980s. Whether as a trader or creator, both are clearly looking to get in early enough to reap the rewards. There are thousands more like them—and 20 or more currencies for them to buy into, albeit most of them tiny, with names like Namecoin, Feathercoin, and Worldcoin. More are in the works.
The sums of money involved in creating and participating in the digital currency economy could become become enormous. At today’s exchange rate of around $100 to 1 bitcoin, there are nearly $1.2 billion worth of bitcoins in circulation—still small beer, but over ten times the value a year ago. As other currencies are invented and expand, the digital asset economy can only grow. Exchanges, user-friendly transfer systems, and funds stand to earn millions as more are created and the volume of transactions increases. Even at the most basic level, a small percentage from transactions goes to miners, who between them earned $5,000 on the basis of 55,000-odd transactions during one day this week. That number too will surely go up.
In a statement accompanying DATA’s announcement, Jeremy Liew, a partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners, which is part of DATA, stressed the need for “trust in the integrity of the companies in the ecosystem” if digital currencies are to take off. It is hard to argue with that. One reason Bitcoin so worries regulators is that it works outside the current system. If it is brought into the fold, they would rest more easy. Yet illegal activity is also where new, bottom-up currencies are coming from. Self-regulation is to be welcomed, but any body that takes on the task will have to walk a line between nurturing the nascent movement and throttling it.

China tightens control over the trade in crypto-currencies: new measures will affect online platforms and mobile applications, Bloomberg reports with reference to sources familiar with the situation.
Last year, Chinese regulators decided to close the crypto-exchange markets. However, the authorities recently noted an increase in activity at alternative sites.
The government plans to block access to local and offshore platforms that allow centralized trade, Bloomberg sources said, without specifying how the authorities define such platforms.
The authorities will also take action against individuals and companies that provide market-making, settlement and clearing services for centralized trade, sources said. According to them, these measures will not affect small peer-to-peer transactions.
Regulators around the world are strengthening their control over crypto-currencies amid fears of excessive speculation, money laundering and tax evasion.
Until the beginning of last year, China was the most active market for stock trading bitcoins. In the country, one of the largest bitnikin miners still operates. However, they began to consider other markets, as local authorities called for the restriction of the industry.
The interdepartmental working group in China instructed the authorities in the provinces to “actively promote” the termination of mining by local companies.
The authorities of the country intend to put an end to the mining because of concerns about excessive electricity consumption and financial risks.

Peer Coin, abbreviated PPC is a cryptocurrency which is forked from bitcoin. PPCoin aims to achieve high energy-efficiency while keeping as much as the official Bitcoin properties as possible.
PPCoin works with Stake/Proof-of-Stake, this is a term referring to the use of the currency itself to achieve certain goals.
PPCoin uses proof-of-stake to provide minting and transaction processing of place of proof-of-work. Unlike Bitcoin ppcoin does not require the use of energy to sustain the network. Proof-of-work currently remains the most practical way of providing initial minting of a cryptocurrency so it was decided to keep it as part of the hybrid design.
Untill v0.2, central checkpointing was a critical part of the protocol. The main purpose of this is to defend the network during the growth period and to ensure a smooth upgrade path if any critical vulnerabilities are found. Central checkpointing will slowly be weakened and should eventually removed from the coin.
Unlike Bitcoin there is no hard cap on the amount of coins that will be created. Bitcoin is limited to 21 million coins where PPCoin only has a hard cap of 2 billion coin in the code. There is no intention to limit the amount of coins that can be generated.
“There is a 2-billion coin max value in the source code, however that is only used for consistency checking and is not meant to be part of the minting design.”

The partnership is not only a validating moment for Bitcoin but also a political statement from Overstock’s libertarian CEO, Patrick Byrne, who told Wired that “it helps us fight the machine” of big banks and big government.
Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer, decentralized, anonymous form of digital currency. A simple way of thinking about it is as the “Internet equivalent of cash.” For years it was relegated to the edges of tech society, and associated with notorious activities like buying drugs, but 2013 was the year Bitcoin traveled in from the fringes.
Many big believers in Bitcoin are adamant that for the great Bitcoin experiment to really succeed. For it to become stable, legitimate, and usable, it has to have everyday value. Bitcoin can’t just be something people invest in, hoard, or buy one of “for fun.” It needs to be liquid and spendable — a currency, rather than an asset.
This is why Bitcoin evangelists value adoption by mainstream retailers. It gives “regular” people clear opportunities to spend Bitcoin, which in turn could inspire them to buy (and spend) more Bitcoins.
The question left unanswered, perhaps until now, was whether Bitcoin owners were willing to spend their stash on everyday stuff, like bedding, furniture, bath products, and jewelry.
It seems they do, based on this early response. But we won’t really know unless this kind of sales momentum continues and more retailers adopt Bitcoin and see similar results.
The Bitcoin experiment is in its infancy, and it carries big risks. Bitcoin is volatile and has the potential to crash. This is part of what deters retailers. The fear is that if Bitcoin is at one price and then drops, the merchant loses money.
Coinbase is making a big effort to calm these concerns. It created a suite of merchants tools that make it easy to begin accepting Bitcoin and guarantees a certain exchange rate.
When a Bitcoin payment comes through, Coinbase immediately cashes out that Bitcoin value and transfers in dollars to the retailer. The risk is really with Coinbase, rather than Overstock.
Bitcoin has other benefits — it eliminates credit card processing fees, so it’s much cheaper for retailers than accepting payments from Visa, MasterCard, or PayPal.
Now that Overstock has taken the first step with Bitcoin, it will be interesting to see if other major retailers follow suit.
