AntShares Rise 100% In Just A Week

We previously talked about our investments for 2017 and asked people what their own investments are, you can check that out here. One of the coins we included in this was Antshares and this week with the Bitcoin fork and Bitcoin Cash news all happening we did see Antshares rise by 100% in just a week. This has come as great great news for all early investors and hopefully we are going to see a good return on this coin.

For me I will not be selling even with the massive high, I will be holding onto mine and waiting to see what the future holds in store for Antshares. As always its a gamble as we could see the price plummet down to zero, or it could do a Bitcoin/Ethereum you never know

It currently at the time of writing sits just outside of the top 10 crypto's when comparing market cap. Again to me this all comes as good news, WAVES is currently 16th which again is another of my investments and is performing very well. 

Which have you invested in that has returned you a good profit in 2017?

Claim Your Free ByteBall Now

So quite often I watch the announcement on Bitcointalk and see the amount of coins that get posted, and in all honesty I do not tend to bother with many of them. Byteball on the other hand seems to be a bit of a no brainer for me, especially when getting coins is so so easy if you have  a BTC balance.

  All that is required is to download their Byteball wallet and then send a signed message from your BTC wallet to receive Byteball in the next round. Now this is only for a limited time they will not be doing it for long, I believe the next round is April 11th so you will need to be quick! Also I recommend just sending a signed message from your BTC wallet rather than sending actual BTC

You can get the wallet from their official site

Any other coins you know that are worth recommending?

BitGold / Gold Money, Bitcoin and Altcoins for Gold?

Now I am normally not convinced when it comes to thes kind of companies hence why I am posting here. I have been checking trustpiot for this company for the last few weeks and the reviews seem to be a complete mixed bag. Lots of good but then also a few bad which make me have my doubts...

So I am wondering does anyone have any experience of this company using BitGold? If you do I would love to hear from you or if you could give a review,. They seem to have been running for a long time now and a bit like Bitcoin the price of Gold goes up and down so I understand that you might not run into a profit on the site and you could end up making a loss. I just want to know how legit it is and peoples experiences.

If you have no idea what we are talking about go and check out Bitgold Here

**UPDATE**
Bitgold has now changed names over to Gold Money. You can still buy gold with BTC and altcoins and is exactly the same as it was

Got Me Some GridSeeds

Ok so a bit behind with the times I know but I managed to pick myself up 5 Gridseeds and a PSU for £30 which I just could not turn down. Now at the time of writing this is cheap cheap especially just to put on scrypt only and let them mine.

So this is my experience....

First things first my god they are noisey, but after a little bit of research I found the fans are only placed on them for sha-256 mining which is not recommended anyway. So I went ahead and removed all the fans and now have one Arctic Silver fan pointing at them. This was very easy to do

1, Remove 4 Screws from the fan
2, Flip the Gridseed over and remove the 4 screws
3, Now give the Gridseed a little tug and twist and it should come off in two pieces
4, The fan wires are soldered on, so if you twist the wires close to the solder it will break off without the need of a soldering iron. PLEASE NOTE the wires will require soldering back on so dont do this if you dont know how to solder or want to put the fans back on later
5, Now reverse the order and you have a nice quiet Gridseed.

MAKE SURE YOU RUN THEM IN SCRYPT ONLY!!

The above is very important now that we have no fans, if it runs in sha-256 mode the Gridseed will overheat and die.

Next step for me was to get them hashing, I had a hard look around for software and struggled at times to get them working. The best one I found was BFGMiner 3.9 which you can download here. This is re-written for the Gridseed and has a nice big LTC_ONLY BAT file that you can run to mine Scrypt only. To edit the BAT file,

1, Right Click LTC_ONLY.bat and click edit
2, Enter your pool details
So it should look some thing like this

bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://scrypt.eu.nicehash.com:3333 -u 12qheQMkzsHUZv2MLesQZCbXEX5zFUD8qe -p d=256 -d gridseed -S gridseed:all --set-device gridseed:clock=850 --no-submit-stale

Replace the web address with where you want to mine and the username with what the pool requires which will either be a username or a BTC address depending on where or what your mining


If there is anything I have missed out I will try to add it and do comment if you can add anyhting further. Happy mining
