GAW Miners Changes and Updates for the Hashlet Miners

16, Oct 2014

The Hashlet Genesis (10 GHS Bitcoin cloud mining hashrate) is now priced at $7.95 USD and the Hashlet Prime is no longer available for sale. Among the newly introduced features are things like SHA-256 mode for Hashlet Primes that would allow you to mine at BTC pools with the Hashlet Prime with 40 GHS per 1 MHS rate, HashPoints bonus points are now worth 1 cent each, Genesis Hashlets are also now supported on the Marketplace where you can trade them. This is all a part of the move from the current ZenCloud platform to the new upcoming HashBase platform that is supposed to offer new interesting features for the miners when it gets released later this month.

On a side note, if you were one of the first to purchase hashrate in the form of a Hashlet when they were first introduced about 2 months ago, then you might’ve already reached a full ROI. In our case, we’ve stared testing the Hashlet just after it was announced and a bit short of two months we have earned back what we have invested. This however was possible if you were among the first to purchase a Hashlet at a price of $15.99 USD per MHS before the introduction of the Hashlet Prime. For users that have purchased Hashlets later on it will most likely take some more time for them to get a return of their investment.

Mintpal V2 Still With Issues for a Lot of Users

14, Oct 2014

mintpal-v2-exchange

Mintpal, once one of the top exchanges for altcoins, is now suffering a lot of problems since it has been acquired by Moolah and the new version 2 of the exchange was launched. Users are still complaining of having various issues with the V2 exchange such as not being able to log in, resetting the password may help for some. When successfully logging in some users are finding out there is no history for their trades or their coins not available in the account on the V2, and even if the coins are there initiating a transaction may result in the coins not appearing in their wallets at all. You can now say that Moolah has kind of killed everything that the old Mintpal has built and now they need to start bringing back users and rebuilding their trust if they wish to make Mintpal back what it was. If you currently look at the 24 hour starts of the exchange you can see that the number of trades and the volume is still very low, though there is some improvement compared to the even lower numbers from yesterday. The fact that there is no exchange fee until the end of the year and that Moolah has announced some awards for traders does not help much unless they are able to quickly resolve all of their issues and they still seem to have a hard time doing so.
