Just a couple of days ago we’ve talked about the upcoming launch of Zcash (ZEC) and Genesis Mining Doubling their Cloud Mining Hashrate Offers and they just did it once more. Their offer has been doubled once more in terms of the hashrate you get, for all existing customers that already pre-ordered as well as for new ones. The upgrade is from 0.3 H/s to 0.6 H/s for the Starter plan, from 3 H/s to 6 H/s for the Advanced plan and from 30 H/s to 60 H/s with the prices remaining the same. Definitely a good news for everyone that pre-ordered hashrate and for new users that might do so with the launch of Zcash mining approaching (planned for October 28th).

Also don’t forget that you can use our special discount code during checkout to get 3% off the regular prices for Zcash mining hashrate, just enter CryptoMiningBlog5 as promo code during checkout to take advantage of the lower price. Remember that although there is already a lot of interest in this new altcoin and the project looks really promising, there is no guarantee of success, so be wise with investments. Also miners for Zcash should be available by the time of the official launch, even a GPU one hopefully, so you should most likely be able to mine ZEC with your CPU/GPU mining rigs as well (if you do have any).

Ethereum (ETH) Hardfork Incoming to Fix The Latest Issues

In the last weeks Ethereum and its network have been the target of a constant attacks resulting in various issues and disruption of the normal operation of the network and users having trouble with transactions. The attacker(s) apparently have been very crafty in locating vulnerabilities in the client implementations as well as the protocol specification and abusing them in order to make things hard for everyone else mining or using Ethereum. According to the Ethereum developers the most visible consequence of the attacks for most users is that they are having difficulties getting transactions included in blocks, and full nodes are facing memory limitations in managing the bloated state. This needs to be addressed with a hardfork and that hard fork was initially planned to happen at block 2457000, but has since been postponed for block 2463000 to allow for more testing of the new code before it becoming live. This is supposed to happen sometime around the coming Tuesday, October 18th. Do note that around that time some exchanges may temporary disable Ethereum (ETH) trading and withdraws/deposits in order to avoid possible issues when the hardfork hits, so make sure to be careful operating with any Ethereum coins around that time.

Bitwala is a service that makes bank transfers on your behalf in exchange for bitcoins, so you can use it to pay bills in Euro by spending Bitcoin you own. What is more interesting though it the Bitcoin virtual assistant called LolaBot that the company has just launched and it is dubbed the Siri for Bitcoin. LolaBot is a fun and more personal way to get to know Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general. Not only are visitors able to ask general questions such as the price of Bitcoin, who invented Bitcoin and so on, visitors interested in getting to know Bitwala can also ask questions about the company, the founders, and even about Lola herself.

Do note that LolaBot requires you to use Chrome, Safari or Chromium browser in order for the full functionality to be available, including the voice recognition feature, using it on other browsers will still work, but you will have to type your questions instead of speaking them. It is more of a fun project at the moment than something very functional and useful, but you might still want to give a try and ask LolaBot some questions regarding Bitcoin or crypto currencies or maybe even about the services that Bitwala offers to its customers.
