How can You Benefit from Visiting Large Blockchain Events?

​

If you keep an occasional eye on blockchain news, then you are aware that it is much more than just a growing trend. In fact, it’s become quite clear that Blockchain is here to stay, and will make an even bigger impact on the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency market. Its transformation on society as a whole is becoming a real hot topic, and Blockchain’s influence on the economic world is currently unparalleled. So, if you deal with Blockchain and multiple cryptocurrencies, this influential spike in the industry is more than a good reason to begin to look into visiting a few of the large Blockchain events.

Here is how everyone can benefit from paying a visit to blockchain events:

1. Learn from appealing speakers

Perhaps the biggest draw for large Blockchain events is the lineup of speakers. After all, if you’re going to take time out of your busy schedule to attend, you’ll want to be sure that you are listening to well-educated influencers in the field, who can offer real-world advice.

2. Discover New Tokens and new technology from vendors

The exhibitors are also a huge plus when attending a large Blockchain event, as you never know which product or a new piece of technology might be just what you’re looking for to move your business to the next level. Additionally, you may find that you can collaborate with a vendor, which can be mutually beneficial for both parties. You never know where you might find a surprising new opportunity!

3. Network with others attending the event

Throughout the day, the chances are good that you’re going to meet quite a few like-minded individuals. After all, that’s why you’re all at the same event! Take this opportunity to network away. Whether you find that you can join forces with another attendee for a project, or you just file a name and affiliation for later use, a contact is a contact, and you never know when you might need one.

4. Eventually become a guest speaker

You may already be well-educated in the Blockchain industry, or perhaps you’re just beginning to learn of its many financial benefits. Whichever the case, you may thoroughly enjoy the idea of moving into the spotlight and becoming a guest speaker. The tables may turn after some time and with immense knowledge, you could turn out to be a speaker.

If I have sparked some curiosity in you to attend a large crypto event that is happening soon, then you are lucky as there is one. The Fantom Developers Conference is happening in Abu Dhabi from 25th October to 29th October. Fantom and Keynote are inviting developers of every level of expertise to explore and learn together with some of Fantom’s respected partners to teach, spark innovation and build confidence during a period of 4 days conference which will be filled with workshops, networking events, training, and also some presentations that will be given by some of the leading Fantom collaborators.

Can you give some other points as well as to how these events can prove to be beneficial?

What’s Hot in the World of Crypto Right Now?

​

With trends continuously changing and the market evolving, there is a lot going on in the world of crypto and blockchains at present. Many investors have considered this as the peak of this industry as we see it moving into different aspects of our lives and who knows may even hold as much value as fiat money in the future.

All it takes to update is to keep up with the new trends, news, and events relating to the blockchain industry to expand our knowledge. By being aware of the latest happening one can keep up with the cryptos and learn a lot. Here are some of the hottest topics in the blockchain industry right now:

1. Direxion has launched US ETF that offers managed short exposure to CME Bitcoin futures

Direxion, a leading exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuer, will launch a fund that will offer managed short exposure to CME Bitcoin futures contracts, the company said in a regulatory filing before the US Securities and Exchange Commission on October 26. The announcement comes a week after futures-backed ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF and Valkyrie Bitcoin Strategy ETF were launched.

2. US Government Is Auctioning Bitcoin Tokens Amounting to Over $300,000

US government-backed GSA Auctions is currently hosting an online Bitcoin auction called the “Fall for Cryptocurrency”. In this event, the federal US government is auctioning 4.94 Bitcoin tokens amounting to over $300,000 as per Bitcoin's current trading price of $63,925 (roughly Rs. 48 lakh) per token. GSA Auctions is a service of the US General Service Administration (GSA) that is responsible for clearing surplus assets held federally. This online auction began on Tuesday, September 26, and will conclude on Thursday, October 28. GSA Auctions posted details about the event on their region-focused Twitter handles.

3. Fantom Developers Conference 2021 (Mon, 25 Oct 2021 – Fri, 29 Oct 2021, Dubai)

This month, Fantom and Keynote are inviting developers of every level of expertise to explore and learn together with some of Fantom’s respected partners to teach, spark innovation and build confidence during a period of 4 days conference which will be filled with workshops, networking events, training and also some presentations that will be given by some of the leading Fantom collaborators. It is definitely going to be the most prestigious Devcon as Fantom has recently made the information of Binance being their official exchange partner public. Binance is the biggest exchange in the world and is surely going to make it the most exclusive conference ever. For people who can’t be present there physically, they are also going to air it online.

4. Thailand Department Store Chain Is Testing Its Own Cryptocurrency

A Thai department store chain is trialing its own cryptocurrency for use by employees with a view to offering it to customers in the future.

Central Retail Corp., Thailand’s biggest shopping center developer, is distributing its blockchain-based “C-Coin” to 80,000 employees on a merit basis to use as a substitute for cash in its stores, Bloomberg reported Thursday. The C-Coin may be expanded to customers once employee testing is complete.

Are you aware of anything else that is as much in buzz right now?

Memecoins are truly shitcoins, some serious talk here!

The first time at a conference I got a question about DOGE, I'll never forget, I was on a panel with Dan Larimer and David Johnston and it was being moderated by Jason King and it was a mastercoin versus bitshares versus ethereum panel and at that time I was still part of the ethereum project. That was January of 2014. Very long time ago and there was a joking comment about DOGE getting smart contracts before us and conquering the entire world.

DOGE has always been for our industry kind of a an inside joke, a pet rock, a fun mocking cryptocurrency light-hearted thing and it just always seems to be around but it something we, for the most part, have never taken seriously recently due to the efforts of Elon Musk principally and market manipulation by clever whales DOGE has become stratospheric and has become a haven for new entrants into the cryptocurrency space. Let's be very clear this is a bubble! The price of DOGE is not sustainable, it's going to collapse and a massive amount of retail money is going to be lost very quickly. My belief is that after that bubble bursts, it will be a catalyst for regulators and lawmakers to get involved in our industry and hurt the entire industry.

It's not a good event and by no means is this sustainable. You know when you look at the third generation of cryptocurrencies the ALGORANDs, the TEZOS, the AVALANCHEs, the CARDANOs, the ETH2... Each of these projects have large teams, capital and accountability. People wake up every single day to try to get the software the protocols and the ecosystems to the next level. They have the aspirations or reality of use and utility. People use these systems to do interesting things or promote new business models that we've never seen before.

DOGE does not have a stable development team, there is no original technology in DOGE, it's a copy of bitcoin. If at two o'clock in the morning a major flaw is discovered there will be no one who's up late at night trying to find a way to fix it. Maybe a volunteer but no guarantee. It is a pet rock, it's not real and if this is the gateway for retail investors to enter our ecosystem at massive losses, at some point it's going to hurt each and every one of us. After the bubble burst, because it will, there's going to be congressional inquiries, there's going to be senate hearings, there's going to be SEC running around, there's going to be all kinds of regulators running around saying this is proof that crypto can't control itself.

We need to come in and save you and you're not going to like the outcome and the people leading the third generation were the ones who are going to have to clean up the mess and endure the consequences of the coming regulation as a result of the bubble bursting. It's a mockery of my life's work, it's a mockery of the hard work and effort that so many people put into this industry. In space there is an enormous difference between the TEZOS and the ALOGORANDs and the AVALANCHEs and the CARDANOs and DOGE.

The science alone, the papers alone, the code alone, there's nothing that's a copy. It's all novel and original and people put so much effort and work into it and to have this surge be what defines our industry and the perception of our industry where does that lead? So, I know a lot of people are celebrating on that side of the aisle and they think this is just the best thing ever and Elon Musk continues to post and post and post and really seems to enjoy doing this but what goes up will come down and our industry is going to be worse for it.

So, my warning to anybody who will listen is don't buy DOGE! Get out of DOGE! If you've made money, great, get the hell out of it! It's a bubble, it's not real, there's nothing sustainable there and to the industry as a whole stand up to this behavior, this manipulation, we have grown beyond this. If we continue doing these things we will be regulated to a point where we no longer have freedom in autonomy and we're no better than the banks!

You'll have to get a crypto charter just like you get a bank charter. It'll be an invitation only club and controlled by the top down and any freedom that we have managed to pull back from the legacy financial system will be lost because of our stupidity and avarice. It has to stop and it's getting too big!

45 billion, 50 billion, what happens when it gets to 100 billion? To 200 billion? These numbers bring lawmakers in, these numbers bring international regulation in, it has to stop and it's not!

No one seems to be calling it out and saying hey let's slow this down, hey industry be careful, there's no substance behind what's happening here, it is what it is. I guess the caravan moves on and the work continues and I'll be here tomorrow and the day after and the day after and the day after even if there are hard days even if we get yelled at, even if we have to somehow deal with new regulations even, if we have to deal with bad perceptions of the industry going into yet another crypto winter.

We endured a few before, we'll endure another again. I'm just sad and sorry for all people that are going to lose money and I'm sad and sorry for all the people in our industry that are delighting from this event knowing full well what it's going to do. Until next time, talk to you guys later...

Cardano Rumor Rundown October 28, 2021

Hey Everyone!

Let's go...

Newly covered today:

1. ETH based platforms are still not faring well at NOT losing the money of users. https://twitter.com/Swag_Stakepool/status/1453392923672915968
2. dcSpark is making progress on the Milkomeda sidechain. ADA transitions from Cardano testnet to Milkomeda testnet now working. https://twitter.com/Milkomeda_com/status/1453421947157716992
3. The stark differences between being a validator on ETH and a Cardano validator are once again put on full display. https://twitter.com/evan_van_ness/status/1453133337334272000
4. There’s a new Djed explainer video out now from IOHK. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-Ozaf_aGNM&t=1s

Previously Covered but still interesting:

1. Here’s a great article on Cardano’s Determinism by IOG’s Polina Vinogradova. https://iohk.io/en/blog/posts/2021/09/06/no-surprises-transaction-validation-on-cardano/
2. World Mobile has released a new video of towers going up in Zanzibar! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoGx_hwupsc
3. Charles releases a new video on the Alonzo Update Proposal (on Aug. 7) being submitted so that we can go live on the 12th. He also gives some hints as to his thoughts on the short-term planning of some “flavor of the week” blockchains vs. the long term planning of Cardano. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhujKbMpTEA
4. Weiss Crypto lays down yet another very positive thread about Cardano. They acknowledge that they can’t see the future of Cardano, but they vehemently reject a lot of the anti-hype. https://twitter.com/WeissCrypto/status/1435261343456768005
5. Coinbase reveals they received a Wells Notice from the SEC on their crypto loan product. This is relevant for Cardano loan projects. A low professor subsequently posted a takedown of the Coinbase Chief Legal Officer’s view on the SEC notice. https://twitter.com/brian_armstrong/status/1435439291715358721 https://twitter.com/AdamLevitin/status/1435650584271589376
6. We just saw a record number of daily transactions on Cardano (Sept 7)! https://twitter.com/matiwinnetou/status/1435559731133825031
7. Messari has updated its “Initial Token Distribution” chart to include a previously missing project and Cardano is still among the very best in the Gen 3 space in terms of broad public coin ownership. https://twitter.com/CryptoIRELAND1/status/1435708439951552513
8. After lots of criticism of Cardano layer 2 possibilities by ETH maximalists, Vitalik has ironically announced that ETH NFTs need to be moved to layer 2. https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/1435413681588736007
9. We seem to already have at least five projects who have worked out their approach to eUTxO concurrency. https://twitter.com/SmaugPool/status/1435928968423673859 https://www.yahoo.com/now/cardano-decentralized-exchange-occamx-reaches-163000898.html
10. Here’s the tweet with the link for the Alonzo smart contract launch watch party tomorrow (Sept 12) at 21:30 UTC. This is going to be fun! Enjoy it, guys! https://twitter.com/InputOutputHK/status/1436325831199141888
11. A Weiss Crypto analyst calls the smart contract launch an alleged event and also doesn’t realize we already have NFTS. The Cardano community was quick to correct the analyst. Weiss was then also quick to apologize. https://twitter.com/WeissCrypto/status/1436369016545857566 https://twitter.com/WeissCrypto/status/1436402039085576193
12. There is still the mystery of the lobster. Will it end up being connected to a fun smart contract to be launched tomorrow by IOHK? https://twitter.com/crypto_reflect/status/1435738017608740866
13. Over 100 smart contracts are already running on Cardano Mainnet! https://twitter.com/IOHKMedia/status/1437821632307994628
14. One of Cardano’s biggest competitors is once again suffering network problems. This time it started out as just being characterized as (more) “instability”, then they started saying that something had caused the blockchain to “start forking”. This followed their September 2 “instability” and “performance degradation” event. It’ll be interesting to see how well their community tolerates this in the future if it’s happening with their planned slashing model in effect. https://twitter.com/SolanaStatus/status/1437856638279487493 https://twitter.com/SolanaStatus/status/1437757547235131396 https://twitter.com/SolanaStatus/status/1433429598230876173
15. The Cardano Foundation subtly hints (okay just straight up says) it has some mindblowing partnerships to announce at the Cardano Summit. https://twitter.com/SidneyVollmer/status/1437855888237338627
16. Gary Gensler says that there are probably many tokens traded on Coinbase that are securities. https://youtu.be/XLc4c7vL3rM
17. Looks like Cardano Summit segments are being recorded and completed. https://twitter.com/ch1bo_/status/1437803839319691271
18. In macro news that could impact Cardano & all of crypto, it has been announced that China’s Evergrande Group will not be able to make interest payments on its loans in a few days. https://twitter.com/Reuters/status/1438143063306690560 https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-09-15/evergrande-gives-china-an-impossible-equation-to-solve-with-its-liquidity-crunch
19. It looks like we’ll get some news about further collaboration with Baia’s Wine of Georgia at the Cardano Summit. https://twitter.com/ThornhillPublic/status/1438157239982956545
20. Now one of Cardano’s most highly visible critics is implying that the Cardano community has something in common with anti-vaxxers. Unfortunately for him, it was one of his pet blockchains that was down a few days ago while Cardano just kept healthily trucking right along. https://twitter.com/spudiot1/status/1438402783040790532
21. Cardano is still crushing it in terms of daily transaction volume. https://twitter.com/Eilert/status/1438521555638644746
22. We might have gotten a peek at the virtual world that will be part of the Cardano Summit this month. https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1438668061813342209/photo/1
23. Smaug gives us a rundown of how many actual Plutus scripts (19)are running on mainnet vs. timelock scripts (21k) as of Sept 17 and explains simple definitions for both. But, he also mentions down below how many Plutus scripts (213) are reportedly running on “the main testnet” not counting “other Alonzo testnets”. https://twitter.com/SmaugPool/status/1438816898234343432
24. The weekly IOHK development update is out for Sept 17. https://twitter.com/InputOutputHK/status/1438921968590499843
25. Now the TX and NJ state securities regulators are after Celsius for crypto loans (BlockFi already got this treatment). Cardano loan projects should probably take note. https://www.njoag.gov/new-jersey-bureau-of-securities-orders-cryptocurrency-firm-celsius-to-halt-the-offer-and-sale-of-unregistered-interest-bearing-investments/ https://www.ssb.texas.gov/sites/default/files/2021-09/20210917_FINAL_Celsius_NOH_js_signed.pdf
26. After the Senate hearing on Tuesday September 14th, Gary Gensler (SEC Chairman) gave a quote to a crypto publication indicating that custodial lending and possibly even staking platforms might be considered securities. This is very relevant for Cardano since it has non-custodial staking whereas many of its competitors have the kind of custodial staking that Gensler may have been contemplating. https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/117675/crypto-lending-staking-custody-gensler-sec
27. New IOHK blog entry on Hydra (Sept 17)! https://iohk.io/en/blog/posts/2021/09/17/hydra-cardano-s-solution-for-ultimate-scalability/
28. It looks like we may get an announcement of a new Cardano/COTI product at the Summit. https://twitter.com/theCOTIinvestor/status/1439551052764925957
29. We’re inching closer to the 500 votes required to name the lobster. https://twitter.com/Ada4Soil/status/1439745733079355394
30. Here’s a great description from Sebastien on where ADA staking rewards come from. https://twitter.com/SebastienGllmt/status/1439542246764793857
31. Apparently the SEC is now serving crypto people at crypto conferences. Gensler is getting serious. https://twitter.com/gogoSlava/status/1439972015910408195 https://mainnet.events/agenda-2021/
32. Accusations of wash trading surface in the Cardano NFT scene. https://twitter.com/mintaCNFT/status/1439752114276904960
33. Christine Lagarde (European Central Bank President) goes on the offensive and tries to tell the world that cryptocurrencies are not currencies. https://twitter.com/BloombergTV/status/1438498107965288449
34. DIGI tweets out a great infographic explaining how Hydra layer two solution works. https://twitter.com/DIGI_StakePool/status/1440322046869737482
35. Senators Lummis & Sinema are planning to introduce a bill for responsible innovation in crypto. Caitlin Long says it will focus on (1) definitions to clarify regulatory jurisdiction, (2) consumer protection, (3) digital asset custody requirements https://twitter.com/CaitlinLong_/status/1440327869293465600
36. The Hoskinson Center for Formal Mathematics has been established at Carnegie Mellon. Given the blockchain activity at the university it seems like the Cardano founder having ties there can’t really hurt us. https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1440443081183019017
37. dcSpark is launching a new wallet called Flint that will be able to interact with Cardano dApps. https://youtu.be/dDwuwVR75HU https://twitter.com/SebastienGllmt/status/1440659191731945482
38. The AWS Exec has clarified his tweet about the Cardano Summit to express that people shouldn’t read too much into it. https://twitter.com/theCOTIinvestor/status/1440662585309745152
39. There’s a fresh blog and video on the Cardano Smart Contract Certification standards and new Plutus dApp Store. https://twitter.com/timbharrison/status/1440799199684022283
40. Apparently RuntimeVerification is now in the Cardano audit business! This is awesome to see! We’’ll take some NASA mission-critical level auditing for our ecosystem’s projects. https://twitter.com/SundaeSwap/status/1441077920215310343
41. The Summit Agenda is now out. https://summit.cardano.org/agenda
42. dcSpark’s new open source project Fracada will allow you to fractionalize NFTs. https://twitter.com/dcspark_io/status/1441043274911866880

47. The ecosystem map continues getting bigger and bigger (Sept 29). https://twitter.com/seal_kiman/status/1441418051237425153/photo/1
48. dcSpark has dropped a new video explaining Fracada and the future of NFTs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FvKUlh7Fs8&t=4s
49. The CFTC hits Kraken with a $1.25 Million fine for it’s margin products. Cardano DeFi projects planning to offer some kind of margin trading take note. https://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/PressReleases/8433-21
50. In late 2008/early 2009 it turns out Hal Finney was learning Haskell and trying to figure out how to reduce C02 emissions from a (future) widely used Bitcoin. That sounds a lot like Cardano. https://twitter.com/seal_kiman/status/1443593563846193155
51. Adam Dean gives us a great post-mortem on the network load created yesterday by the NFT drop(s). https://twitter.com/adamKDean/status/1443599818845081600
52. Wow! It’s looking like Meld has landed a partnership with a mobile provider in Nigeria with nine million customers. Not many details out at this point (Sept 30). But, that certainly sounds like it could be gigantic. https://twitter.com/MELD_labs/status/1443548879966949382
53. Two factor authentication via SMS once again turns out to be a bad bet. https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business/hackers-rob-thousands-coinbase-customers-sms-mfa-flaw
54. Grayscale releases a report on Cardano which shocks many due to its (actually) fair reporting. https://twitter.com/Grayscale/status/1443625454146097152 https://twitter.com/cardano_whale/status/1443786596721967104
55. The Wall Street Journal has dropped a video on stablecoins. A lot of the video surrounds the Tether dollar reserve controversy. It’s notable that Cardano’s Djed solves this. https://www.wsj.com/articles/biden-administration-seeks-to-regulate-stablecoin-issuers-as-banks-11633103156
56. The Biden Administration has announced they are investigating the prospect of regulating stablecoin providers like banks. https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/stablecoin-regulation-cryptocurrency-banks-biden-treasury-bitcoin-circle-tether-binance-2021-10
57. Cardano users on twitter piece together that Charles was talking about visiting u/Pezesha_Africa (in regard to microfinance) in Kenya. This is big because Pezesha operates in countries with a combined population of over $300MM. https://twitter.com/thr33strikes/status/1444898320070086659
58. Crypto twitter users try to depict US Whitehouse comments out of context to fuel an economic doom narrative. However, if you listen to the whole press briefing, you will understand that these comments were based on a “what if” scenario involving the US debt ceiling somehow not being raised. https://twitter.com/100trillionUSD/status/1445059673401528328
59.

60. Remember! There is no mobile Daedalus wallet. There is no browser extension version of Daedalus. These are fakes! They will steal your ADA. https://twitter.com/InputOutputHK/status/1445380773096398853

70. Representative Tom Emmer clashes with SEC Head Gensler over the direction of crypto regulation. However, it’s unclear how much Rep.

80. Eric Rosengren (who recently left the Boston Fed) let’s us know that the Fed/MIT CBDC project is pretty far along and will release a working paper soon. This would obviously be impactful for all of crypto and for Cardano. https://youtu.be/ivqFo9C2Jdo?t=409

82. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce (cryptomom) gave a polite but scathing speech at the Texas Blockchain Summit where she laid bare all the problems with the SEC’s current approach to crypto. After her recent opinion piece and this speech, it’s fair to say that she and SEC Chairman Gensler are in open war over crypto. How this gets resolved will determine the regulatory landscape for Cardano and all of crypto going forward. Sadly, Gensler is in charge and not vice versa. https://twitter.com/HesterPeirce/status/1448011388841037830 https://www.sec.gov/news/speech/peirce-2021-10-08

89. We got a nice Triple H update from Harrison/Hemsley/Hammond joined by Jan Müller in the October mid-Month Dev Update. We learned that we’ll have a maintenance upgrade toward the end of October and then PAB a few weeks later. This is extremely important since it will finally allow for the last bits of dApp buildout. The PAB is already available on the tesnet. The test dApp the team is using is an NFT marketplace. The team is watching as we see high loads around events like NFT drops. But, the network is reacting as expected. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzdTyV5Jejc

Rollercoin is an online bitcoin mining simulator in which you can mine real bitcoins for free without paying for electricity - get a 1000 satoshi now!

Rollercoin is a game that you compete with your friends, who will have a bigger farm to mine bitcoin, ethereum or dogecoin. Аll you have to do is register and customize your avatar, then you're ready to start the race.

Once you have collected the sufficient minimum amount (about 4-6$) you can withdraw your money to your personal wallet. You can take 1000 satoshi which will help for the development of your farm. They are equal to 0.00001 BTC.

1000 FREE SATOSHI HERE

It is possible to progress quickly with the new "Event Pass" in the game. If you buy it and take all the prizes you will increase the power of mining by 2.5 Ph/s. Of course, if you do not want to give real money for "Event Pass" there are also free prizes.

FOR THE FIRST TIME YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE FREE MINERS AND OTHER FREE PRIZES, some of which are: 300 Gh/s for 1 day, 500 Gh/s for 3 days.

ALSO FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE GAME YOU CAN TRY YOUR LUCK WITH LOOTBOXES, FROM WHICH YOU CAN WIN UP TO 500 "RLT" OR MINERS WITH POWER UP TO 1.5 Ph/s.

1000 FREE SATOSHI HERE

There are also weekly offers that offer a limited series of miners, as well as discounts for miners up to 60%.

Hint:

• At Rollercoin you will never mine at a loss because you will not pay for electricity! The game is made you always mine to profit!

• If you decide to invest the money you earn in miners, you will start earning more.

• The cheapest miner costs only 2.6 RLT which is 2.6$.

•  With the upcoming season (season 3), it will be possible to buy miners with any cryptocurrency available on the site. Start collecting coins now to buy better miners next season.

Notes on using Rollercoin

• All purchases from the site require RLT, which is Rollercoin's own cryptocurrency.

• You may withdraw your crypto from the site once it reaches the required quota, or deposit them to a different currency.

• You can only split power from mining crypto once every 12 hours.

• You must win at least one game per day to maintain the current level of your "PC", otherwise it will go back to the lowest level.

• The more games you win, the more difficult it is, and the longer the cooldown. On the flipside, you get a bigger score which adds to your mining power.

• You can bring down the difficulty of any game by simply not playing them for awhile. Use this to diversify the games you play and earn as much mining power as possible. 1000 FREE SATOSHI HERE

• The higher your mining power, the more crypto you can get from each completed block.
