Bitcoin Black Friday, Are You Ready For It
18, Nov 2014
Black Friday is just around the corner and some of you are probably getting ready to take advantage of some nice deals and huge discounts on things you need, but what about Bitcoin? Are you willing to spend some Bitcoins for good deals on various products and services. The merchant adoption of Bitcoin is not yet so serious when talking about big companies that tend to run huge Black Friday discounts, but that does not mean you cannot find some sweet deals to spend some crypto coins on. The goal of the website Bitcoin Black Friday operated by Fight for the Future is to make it easy for customers that are interested in spending some Bitcoins this November 28th and merchants that are going to be offering such deals to meet. If you are a merchant that accepts Bitcoins as a form of payment and want to have your Black Friday deals reaching more potential customers, than you can submit your deals here and the customers can just subscribe to be notified about the deals that will be available for them when the Black Friday comes later this month. We are also expecting to see some of the ASIC miner manufacturers as well as cloud mining services to have some sweet deals for miners to get on board with an attractively lowered price.

Anyone Still Expecting ASICs From Alpha Technology
16, Nov 2014
The Alpha Technology Scrypt ASIC manufacturer has been silent for more than a month already since their last update, even though they did promise to release a video of a prototype miner after showing pictures of the chips that they have apparently received already. Since then however there is no word on anything going on, no video, no new delay information for the shipment schedule of the actual products, no nothing. Interesting enough the company seems to be still sending partial refunds to users that wanted to get these instead of continue to wait for hardware. In the end the intention of Alpha Technology could’ve been just that – promise something, not delivering it and returning a percentage of the money they’ve got from customers, and keeping the rest. It all sounds a lot like a classic scheme for a scam as apparently the company does not plan to deliver anything, even if they have actually made some hardware, or at least things look more and more like that is the case. In the meantime customers are apparently working on taking legal action against the company, though it seems that many have already asked and received partial refunds and have given up completely on dealing with Alpha Technology as well.
Here is something interesting for you to get a bit of rest from the real world Bitcoin mining with a game for iPhone and iPad called Bitcoin Billionaire that has a virtual Bitcoin mining operation. The game is free and fun, a real time waster that is highly addictive, so be very careful with it. It has a retro style game graphics that could appeal to some of you that remember the time when all games looked like that, but that fact does not hurt the game at all. The goal of the game is to become a Bitcoin Billionaire by mining for Bitcoins and you do that by tapping on the screen of your mobile device, the more you earn the more options you have to earn even more – you can upgrade your miner for higher performance, do investments that bring you extra profit and so on. Simple concept that is no entirely relevant to actual Bitcoin mining, but instead taking a fun and addictive tap, tap, tap on your screen implementation with the ultimate goal of getting from geeky Bitcoin miner to geeky Bitcoin miner who owns a private island and is a Bitcoin Billionaire.
As we’ve said the game is free, though you can still buy in-game resources with real money inside it when your fingers start hurting from too many taps on the screen mining Bitcoins. Since the game is pretty addictive, though not overly realistic, we are going to warn you again to be careful with it, unless you have a lot of spare time you need to fill with something. Some of us already spent quite some time yesterday just trying out the game so that we can share some personal feedback from it, it can be quite addictive even for people that usually do not play mobile games on their smartphone or tablet devices. But then again it was fun thing checking it out and mining a few Gb of Bitcoins in our virtual tapping BTC mine with Bitcoin Billionaire.
