GlobalBoost-Y (BSTY) is the result of some of the our military veterans, GlobalBoost employees, contractors, and supporters that put our minds together to create a digital currency that will gain and hold value. We feel that BST is a good payment system (quick delivery & confirmation), and we continue to build products & services around the platform. We wanted more though, something more than a just a payment system. We wanted something that was rare, and valuable. We wanted a coin that is more secure, and resistant to the vulnerabilities of ASIC & GPU mining. BSTY brings a completely new algorithm to the digital currency scene, and combines it with our real products, real company, and visible & accountable leadership. We aim to improve the acceptance of digital money, providing a safe & attractive investment using Yescrypt as our POW.

Get 15% Off the Regular Bitcoin Hashrate Price at Genesis Mining

genesis-mining-bitcoin-hashrate-promo

It seems that currently Genesis Mining is running a 10% discount on their regular prices for Bitcoin hashrate and we can make that discount up to 15% if you use our special promo key CryptoMiningBlog5. With the additional discount code you can get 20 GHS for $13.51 USD ($0.6755 USD per GHS), instead of the 10% only discount bringing the price to $14.22 USD down from the regular price of $15.99 USD. The 1000 GHS offer that is normally available for $779 USD is now down to $702 USD with the 10% discount and you can have it for just $666.90 USD ($0.6669 USD per GHS). The 10 THS offer normally available for $7699 USD is currently down with the 10% offer to $6930 USD and with the extra promo code you can purchase it for $6583.50 USD ($0.65835 USD per GHS). Do note that this is a limited time offer to get 10% discount on the regular prices of Bitcoin cloud hashrate and in order to make them a total of 15% you need to use the above promo code in the checkout. Investing in BTC hashrate at the moment does not seem like a bad idea as the difficulty hasn’t increased rapidly lately and you can even say it has been quite stable just like is the case with the exchange rate of BTC – low, but kind of stable.

NiceHash and WestHash Now With Support for Lyra2RE

14 Dec
2014

nicehash-algorithm-profitability-chart

A good sign that there is a lot of user interest in the new Lyra2RE that VertCoin (VTC) has recently forked to is that services for renting and leasing hashrate are starting to add support for it. Today NiceHash has added support for the Lyra2RE algorithm and while it may not be the most profitable algorithm according the stats on profitability it is still very profitable (SHA256 is the most profitable at the moment for some reason, making it interesting to sell hashrate than to mine Bitcoins directly). So if you are mining VTC directly and then selling it for BTC, then you might want to make it easier by directly pointing your hashrate to NiceHash or WestHash. Interestingly enough now that VertCoin is no longer Scrypt-N the interest for hashrate at services that offer you to rent an lease has gone low as people are apparently moving to Lyra2RE. It will be interesting to see if the interest in Lyra2RE and VTC will continue to increase or it will just be a temporary thing. If the difficulty continues to rise and the exchange rate of VertCoin does not start rising the profitability of VTC will suffer and people will start moving to more profitable coins to mine. As a result of people mining and selling VTC for BTC we already saw a drop in the VertCoin exchange rate today when some people apparently dumped the coins mined immediately after the switch of the algorithms while the difficulty was low.
