Halifax, Nova Scotia... Bitcoins are there and getting bigger

So Nova Scotia has always seemed like the last place to get techs and to get to the future but not for bitcoins. As the world just begins to accept bitcoins Dalhousie University has put a bitcoin debit machine on their campus and has joined 12 other vendors in Halifax to take part in the virtual currency revolution. Durty Nelly's bar in Halifax was the first bitcoin ATM to show up in Atlantic Canada in April paving the way for other businesses to take part.

Cloud mining bitcoins

As the worlds changes rapidly around us so does the ways to earn bitcoins. It started out with simple faucets, viewing adds and buying expensive mining rigs. The mining rigs, which are just fans and graphic processing units with a simple monitor, cost a lot in electricity,were loud and heated a room up. Now they have cloud mining, a process were you can lease mining machines power and get a percentage of their profits. You save power costs and a noisy head ache but you do earn less. Check it out yourself. Cloud miner link

Earn free bitcoins

Just like the bitcoin value changing often so do the sites that give away bitcoins. When I first started getting into bitcoins the sites were much different and they gave much more then they do now. So I went out hunting around lately and found some of these. One thing you should understand is that some of these get deposited into a microwallet to accumulate and save transaction fees before they get deposited into your bitcoin address. I tried all these myself, you give them a try and let me know if you find any good ones.

1. My favorite I've came across is Moon Bitcoin, it has a counter that goes up over time showing you the increase in satoshi(or cents on a bitcoin) that you earn when you cash out. The longer you wait the more satoshi you earn. It's good fun with no time limit.One must get a minimum of 5500 satoshi to with draw and the funds are deposited into your wallet on Sunday. moon bit link .

2. Free bitcoin lottery is another cool faucet that uses a lottery block for you to win bitcoins. They have a large block that has 7 by 7 smaller blocks inside numbering from 1 to 49. You pick 6 numbers out of them, put in your bitcoin address and hit play. You get winnings for every matching number that they draw and that you choose. Bitcoin Lottery Link .

3.Bitcoin zebra is a site that doesn't offer the most winners but its an interesting twist. You put in your bitcoin address, then you click feed the zebra and a zebra with go eating grass. Depending on how hungry or if the zebra is hungry is how much you win. Bitcoin Zebra Link .

4.Bitcoinker is a site that gives you the option of getting 266 satoshi or trying your luck for 100,300 or 500 satoshi every 15 minutes. Bitcoinker link .

5.Spin and Win bitcoins is alot like wheel of fortune or the price is right. You just out in your bitcoin address and spin a wheel and what ever number it lands on you win that amount. Spin and Win Link .

6. BTC 25 is a site that allows you to win up to 0.05 of a bitcoin every 25 minutes. Just put in your bitcoin address and a capcha and play. BTC 25 Link .

7.Bitcoin Faucet EU is a site with a huge referal program offering a 50% bonus over top other sites 25% bonus. Also they give a chance to win a jack pot of 250000 satoshi. Bitcoin Faucet EU Link .

Silk Road, Black market, Silk Road 2.0, Black Market Reloaded,Sheep Market Place all shut down

When I first started digging into the dark net there were a couple good,fully loaded market place sites to choose between for products. Black Market and Silk Road both had a great selection and good vendors to order from but not the picking are very thin. I can understand the nervousness of those who make and run these marketplaces but there is always a way and that starts by being careful. I heard that the guy running silk road got caught by posting a hiring ad for silk road using a gmail address as a contact, not very bright. So now I hunt the dark net looking for replacements for those sites and Agora is all that seems to be offered but even that next to the original silk road is minimal.The link to Agora is http://agorahooawayyfoe.onion/register/TfnealjBh2 .

Good way to buy bitcoins fast ...... Quickbt

So in my searching and digging for a quick easy way to buy bitcoins without long registrations and rediculous confirmation processes I came across Quickbt. https://quickbt.com is a fast and reliable way to get bitcoins using interact online e-transfers. When buying with them you can only buy a small amount of bitcoins at a time, up to 0.2 of a bitcoin for a small fee. I bought 0.2 which has about a 77$ Dollar canadian value for about 95$ and yes I know that's not a small fee but it had upsides. I ordered it, they emailed me a receipt and told me your first purchase takes longer then usual almost instantly, I responded and asked how long and within an hour they responded saying it was processed and was inbound. I received it with 12 hours and the next purchase will be almost instant. They had great customer service and saved me hassle, I didn't have to go to a bank or scan my I.D cards and mail then wait weeks to be confirmed. Overall I'm glad that I used Quickbt and I would use them again.

Best Tor marketplace.....Winner is Agora.



After being busy with a the Birth of my new child this year I have been spending much less time strolling around the darknet but the last week I have been catching up. Alot of the markets I used when I first came to use Tor have been long seized such as Silk Road and Silk Road 2.0. There are alot of different markets out there now and I have tried a bunch latly Such as Tom and Black Bank but the one that seems to be the next best since Silk Road is definitely Agora. Agora has a huge customer base and a huge inventory selection. The downside to Agora is that from time to time the market does not allow for people to register without being refereed by an existing member because of their huge membership pool. The referral link is http://agorahooawayyfoe.onion/register/TfnealjBh2 .

Bitcoin values for 2014

Bitcoins blasted into 2014 being worth over a thousand dollars a piece and now they are currently sitting around 400 dollars a piece. A rise and fall is expected with any stock and with something as ground breaking as digital currencies it is even more expected. The real upside is that in November so far bitcoins value has increased over 15 percent. With google and IBM thinking about investing in bitcoin tech the value should greatly increase. So now it's up to the stock market to decide how they are going to play.

Bitcoin cold storage

It's a good idea to have your bitcoins in a safe place and cold storage is the way to go. Cold storage is when you store your bitcoins on a digital storage device offline. You can put that storage device in the safest place you can imagine and one dutch man did it by putting it in his body. He got a microchip injected into his hand getting his bitcoins close to hand.

Bitcoins and blockchain



As we approach the end of the year bitcoins and digital currency's have survived another one. Bitcoins and the programs surrounding it are doing so well that even google and IBM are even considering investing in block chain, a digital wallet to hold your bitcoins. Block chain is not a bank and it leaves you in complete ownership of your money and at no time can they view your balance. In my opinion block chain leaves your funds in a much better place and not in the hand of unpredictable un honest banksters.

What is a litecoin?

So litecoin simplistically is the same idea that bitcoin is. A peer to peer crypto-digital currency that allows instant payments world wide that is faster then bitcoins transactions. Litecoin runs off the same protocols as bitcoins but can be mined with consumer grade computer hardware unlike bitcoins needing almost industrial computer hardware. Litecoin can be mined with the exact same machines that mine bitcoins with just as much efficiency.

Bitcoin vs litecoin - 2014 digital combat


So as we begin 2014 and bitcoins have reached unimaginable value heights many people are looking toward the next big thing and litecoins may just be that. Litecoins are currently trading right around 25$ USD while the bitcoin is currently trading at 986$ USD. Many believe that bitcoins are floating on a financial bubble and that it may pop any time.

Bitcoins can be mined by anyone but the mining machines are very expensive leaving a mining monopoly to those who can really afford an army of a couple thousand dollar computers. Litecoins mining machines are a bit cheaper but rarer at this point but both digital currencies have a cap to them so the market won't become flooded.

Some people made a fortune on bitcoins when they were at the value litecoins are at now. With the future going completely digital quicker than we can imagine one must think investing in that isn't a bad idea .

Bitcoin alliance of Canada

I recently became a member of bitcoin alliance of Canada . They are a great organization dedicated to spreading the idea of bitcoins for personal and commercial usage. Join up and help spread the word. 

What is a bitcoin?

Over the past year of 2013 bitcoins have made a prominent stand in our mind and I have been asked hundreds of times,what is a bitcoin?

Bitcoins are a form of person to person digital currency, a non physical form of money, that you keep in a digital wallet. You have to get a digital wallet before you can start receiving or store your bitcoins and these wallets can be online or on a data stick for even safer keeping(keep an eye on your data drive, a man threw out his by accident, losing 7 million dollars worth of bitcoins). One can get bitcoins in a few different ways, one is by transferring physical currency or money to digital currency or bitcoins through a currency exchange site. Another way is by selling products or services for bitcoins and lastly is by earning them through sites that offer small tasks for small amounts of bitcoins or by gambling for them.



The thing about bitcoins that has people loving the idea is the annoy amity of them. When a bitcoin is mined through bit mining it is publicly recorded and that record is known as a block-chain but they don't record any personal information. By holding these public records it makes duplicating and counterfeiting very difficult. Also the digital wallets hold annoy amity as high as they can and many people use a bitcoin tumbler. A bit tumbler is essentially a bitcoin money launderer, you put your bitcoins in the tumbler and it mixes it with everyone's else's bitcoins then delivers them to your pre-chose digital wallet for a small fee. All of this plus using the onion router and pgp encryption make bitcoins the most anonymous form of currency we have now.

Canadian banks are not liking bitcoins

Since bitcoins first came into the financial scene it has been met with resistance from the financial institutions world wide such as Thailand and China .

Canada's Royal Bank(RBC) and Toronto Dominion bank( TD) both have began shutting down and freezing accounts of Canadian companies who trade people currency for bitcoins known as currency exchanges. The banks haven't given clear reasoning to why they are doing this but just say no comment due to privacy laws but privacy may just be the reason why those banks are shutting down those accounts.

Canadian banks are largely intertwined with the government and couldn't function without them. The government could easily lean on the banks and get them to do as they please. If this can happen in canada it could happen anywhere globally.

Tor vs government world wide

As the usage of bitcoins and the tor (the onion router)browser explodes all over main stream media by financial institutes and criminal investigations ,the worlds governments are trying to watch tor users even closer.

The governments of USA and England have been using a flaw in Firefox to watch tor users with malware they trick people into downloading. Being anonymous scares governments so technology that makes us harder to watch and track infuriates any of the worlds big brothers.

Be careful and stay informed. Just because your paranoid doesn't mean someone isn't watching.
