We have decided to do a quick roundup of the current Bitcoin cloud mining prices you can find with various service providers that we have tested or covered so far. We are not covering Scrypt cloud mining services this time as currently the Litecoin difficulty is high and price, along with the price of most other Scrypt crypto currencies is currently quite low, so it might not be the best moment to invest in Scrypt at the moment. While at the same time the Bitcoin price is quite nice at the current level, though the network difficulty has been steadily increasing as well. We have decided to have two categories, one for the typical cloud mining services an the other for the hashrate renting services as an alternative for short term investment in more hashrate. Do note however that renting hashrate or mining rigs to mine Bitcoins for you with Bitcoins might not be the wisest idea.

Typical BTC cloud mining services:
– Bitcoin Cloud Services – 0.00290000 BTC per GHS, 5 years, no pool fee, no maintenance fee
– PBMining – 0.00300143 BTC per GHS, 5 years, no pool fee, no maintenance fee
– CEX.io – 0.00682705 BTC per GHS, indefinite, no pool fee, has maintenance fee
– Cointerra Mining – 0.00775 BTC per GHS, 1 year contract, pool and maintenance fees
– Hashop.io – 0.00844000 BTC per GHS, 2 years, no pool fee, maintenance electricity fee
– Cloud Hashing – 0.0116375 BTC per GHS, 1 year contract, pool and maintenance fees

Hashrate renting mining services:
– Nice Hash – 0.00002620 BTC per GHS per Day (current)
– Mining Rig Rentals – 0.00003490 BTC per GHS per Day (current), cheapest 0.00003 BTC

Did You Get Your MtGox Post Card from the Tokyo District Court

mtgox-post-card

It seems that the Tokyo District Court of Japan has sent post cards to all of the MtGox users detailing what is happening and what procedures will be taken from now on regarding the order of commencement of bankruptcy proceedings for the MtGox. People have started receiving these notices by mail and today we also just got our notice. The contents of the card are apparently identical, so no personal information such as what is the amount of BTC or cash you’ve had in the exchange when it was closed, but you can still check your balance from the official website.

mtgox-post-card-2

Here are the details from the post card we have received in English, there is also a Japanese version on the other side that we did not scan. We expect that every user of MtGox will be getting one of these, so if you were using the Bitcoin exchange you are most likely going to get one too if you still haven’t. So don’t be surprised if/when you get one of these in your mailbox in the following few days…

New ccMiner Fork with X14 Algorithm Support Now Available

ccminer-1-2-x14-windows

AMD miners already have an sgminer fork with X14 support and now Nvidia miners also have support for the X14 algorithm thanks to the djm34 fork of ccMiner (source). There are still not many X14 coins as it was just launched not long after X15 appeared, but we are probably soon going to see more than just X14Coin. Aside from the X14 support the fork also adds support for the Qubit algorithm, so if toy are interested in it you can also try it out. We have tested the new X14 support on a GeForce GTX 750 Ti GPU and we got a hashrate of about 2000 KHS on it.

We have compiled a windows binary of the new miner and you can download it from the link below. Do note that the windows binary is compiled for Compute 3.0 and 3.5+ (32-bit version only) in a single binary, so it will not work on older cards. If you are unsure what version of Compute does your video card support check the included GPU Compute Capabilities List file. It is also compiled with Visual Studio 2012, so if you do not already have Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 you will have to download and install it, otherwise you may be getting error for a missing DLL library.
