      "body": "![gold-3080552_960_720.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZivHKDrRue4ct8okzNxWuQxknHB6okwzhqQLCd1uSDDs/gold-3080552_960_720.jpg)\n\nCryptocurrency mining is the process of bringing new digital currency into circulation.In 2018, this means making the most of available resources to gain leverage in an expanding market.\n \n Mining 101\nMining happens when miners’ use their processing powers to approve transactions. The process of recording and verifying transactions requires solving difficult mathematical equations. As a result, miners are rewarded for their hard work by getting predetermined amounts of new coins. Bitcoin was  the first  cryptocurrency to be introduced on the market in 2009 but along the way many other coins have come about such as Zcash, Etherum, Ripple, Monero and Litecoin.  \n\nBitcoin has the largest market share but these other ones also feature some great and interesting features. The biggest allure of cryptocurrencies to many people is the freedom that they give compared to fiat currencies. With cryptocurrency there is no worrying about your money being frozen in the bank. Instead you don’t need a bank to save your wealth. You are your own bank with cryptocurrency. They also offer anonymity and ease of transactions unlike fiat currency.\n\nBitcoin is the biggest of them all and its rapidly growing.This has taken many people by surprise. Its price surged so quickly that it has brought about increases in transaction fees and reduced transaction speeds. However, it is still making headlines and attracting many people. That’s why Ethereum was looked down upon when it was introduced because it didn’t have a ready market like its more successful predecessor. Ethereum was created and has been called by many to be gold 2.0 because of the way it has stored value. Bitcoin has proven to be resilient but with increased costs of transactions people are beginning to look at all kinds of options.  \n\nDifferences between Ethereum and Bitcoin \nThere are many finer differences between this two blockchain based currencies. Some differences are that Ethereum has a quicker, 12 seconds completion times for tasks, compared to Bitcoin’s 10 minutes. This has to do with the infrastructure and the underlying GHOST protocol. Faster block times mean that the confirmation process is quicker. Ethereum used a blockchain based platform that is decentralized which makes it easy to record, verify and enforce contracts. This provides greater security and puts off thieves and frauds.\n\nWhy Ethereum has better future prospects than Bitcoin \n\n Ethereum is more than just a normal digital currency. It has many aspects and features that are different from other cryptocurrencies. It uses a blockchain platform that allows contract negotiations. The good thing is that it features a decentralized way to verify and approve contracts making it hard for one to be cheated or censored. The ethereum smart contracts also give miners and traders greater security. Ultimately, doing so helps to bring down transaction fees significantly. Here are more reasons why Ethereum is the best cryptocurrency to invest in in 2018. \n\nYou don’t need a crowdfunding site when you have Ethereum \n Ethereum gives you a chance to raise funds for various causes or projects. You just need to create a contract and ask people to make pledges. Your money will be held until the goal is reached or until the agreed date. Contributors will get a refund if the goal is not reached or if the project fails. Ethereum helps you to do without Kickstarter  or any other fundraiser that charges for their services which can take as much as 10% of the total contributions.\n\n Ethereum is leading technological advancement in cryptocurrency \n\nEthereum is a forerunner in the technology world. This is especially true with planned upgrades and the addition of Proof-of-stake (POS) algorithms to its earlier proof-of-work (POW) setup. The change means that going forward you don’t need to mine Ethereum to accumulate them but rather you can stake your coins to multiply them. This will make it more profitable to own Ethereum because of better future prospects. Staking is safer and more efficient compared to mining which needs hardware to record and verify transactions.  It is a good idea to mine Ethereum now and hold on to the coins to see them multiply in the coming months and years. \n\n Ethereum has more uses \n\nEthereum has more uses than Bitcoin because you can use the software to create your own platform for ICO. This ICO platform also allows companies to raise their funds for investment rather than using traditional methods. Others can buy and pay for services such as Uber using Ethereum as well. It also allows peer to peer transfers because Ethereum can be used as virtual shares which are traded and shared among people around the world. You can also choose to have a fixed amount or fluctuating values that are then circulated-- there are a lot of options. \n\n\nAvoid the bureaucracy \n\nEthereum can help you raise funds for your project and give organizational structures the help they need to transform ideas into actions. You can get proposals from your backers and even hold a vote to know how you should move forward. This means you can skip the rigors of long and expensive meetings, paperwork and hiring staff that come with traditional organizational structures. Ethereum also protects your ideas from external corruption and influence.\nIn conclusion, Bitcoin and Ethereum are two different markets. Most people are quick to point out their cryptocurrency connection but that is as far as it goes. Bitcoin and Ethereum are massively different entities with very different intentions. While everyone might be raving about Bitcoin right now because it has proven to be a resilient and stable cryptocurrency, Ethereum promises to do more in the present and future. There are a lot of reasons to consider Ether when getting into the crypto world! \n\nEthereum offers both POW and POS \nInvestors and businesses can work with Ethereum easily\nIt is one of the most flexible and user friendly cryptocurrencies for mining. \n\n\nSources \nhttps://www.huffingtonpost.com/ameer-rosic-/ethereum-vs-bitcoin-whats_b_13735404.html\nhttps://usethebitcoin.com/will-ethereum-better-investment-bitcoin-2018/\nhttps://cryptosis.io/best-cryptocurrency-to-mine/",

However, only a few key players are reliable and have proven their stability over recent years. Because of  large scale corporate support, Ethereum has gained a strong foothold in the market. Some even say it is the second biggest cryptocurrency next to Bitcoin. If you are interested in mining, it may be one if the better options out there in 2018. \n\nIn May 2016, Ethereum got an investment of about $150 million. The investment helped the price of Ethereum to go up from $1 to around $14.80. At the end of last year, the price of Ethereum was $720.  The total market for the currency in question has been scaling in the millions to boot.\n Ethereum is the second largest cryptocurrency around the globe just behind the giant Bitcoin in both acceptance, and unit price. There is no doubt that Ethereum commands large numbers of investors in the cryptocurrency market because of its value. At the beginning of this year, the price of Ethereum hit a record $1423, with a total market for Ethereum cap growing wildly. The total market cap has doubled within a span of just a couple months, adding to the benefits of this currency. \nIn 2017 alone, Ethereum experienced a growth of 3000%, a factor that made it popular this year. Many people are abandoning other cryptocurrencies for Ethereum due to it's stability and increasing market cap. The future for this cryptocurrency is promising as more businesses and investors climb onboard. Cryptocurrency investors project higher returns from mining Ethereum this year in addition to changes in its market value. The price of the cryptocurrency is expected to increase higher than the price recorded at the beginning of 2018 due to these variegated factors. If you are out there figuring out which cryptocurrency to mine, then Ethereum will be a good option for you this year.\nEthereum is not just a digital currency; it is more of a sophisticated blockchain project that allows flexible trade of cryptocurrency. Ethereum is a unique cryptocurrency platform that allows its user to create their own cryptocurrency apis with ease. Ethereum is one of the only cryptocurrencies that gives you an opportunity to develop a blockchain–based solution for controlling the supply chain of your trades or commerce. \n    Ethereum is a good option for the beginners too because they you don't need start from scratch. Individuals can easily develop an application on the Ethereum blockchain that is customized to their usage. It is effortless to launch a new blockchain projects on Ethereum making it incredibly valuable for commerce around the world. \n      The cryptocurrency experts predict that the market cap of Ethereum may hit $200 billion by the end of 2018. If their prediction is something to go by, then there is the possibility for the price of this cryptocurrency will rise to $2000. The reason why the price will double is that the ICOs decided to use Ethereum blockchain in 2018. Ethereum is fruitful in making cash value of altcoins mined when compared to other digital currency. Take advantage of mining with Ethereum and you will be amazed at the cash that is possible as profit. No other digital currency can give you security and promise the profit that Ethereum currently does. \nThis year, Ethereum has decided to improve its technology with new protocols in place to take it to the next level. Ethereum is planning for  the long-term with critical technology being put into place everyday. The organization has begun using Casper technology to upgrade its system as well. \n Casper will increase the earnings of altcoin on Ethereum to a great degree. It will also add new Proof-of-Stake (POS) algorithms to the ordinary POW that is on the network already. Casper allows solo blocks to be verified through the PoS algorithm. This means that every 100 blocks added to the chain will have to validate automatically.\nThe use of Casper technology is a game changer in the Ethereum mining cryptocurrency industry. The question many people are asking is “ why deposit all your processing power on Ethereum, when it has become a redundant activity?.”  The answer to this question is simple! It is because; Ethereum Virtual Machine helps in staking your existing cache of Ethereum to enhance the functioning of the network. The Ethereum’s Virtual Machine allows accumulating more profit quickly on the stake you placed on the investment. Casper further strengthens the stability of the Ethereum which will make the currency to be reliable in the market. Casper makes it easy for all corporate partners to access the Virtual Machine and runs their desired apps.\nI recommend interested cryptocurrency traders to start mining in Ethereum now so that when upgrading kicks in at some point this year, you will be among the beneficiaries. If you stake your coins on the Virtual Machine, you will prop the investors that will flock to solid and stable altcoins after a few months.\n It is possible that Virtual Machines will make more dividends from mining than ever before. You can use the profit to switch to another digital currency thus making joint streams of crypto income.\nHow Ethereum Miners Works\nMiners use commuters for each block of the transaction to guess answers to a puzzle until one of them wins. It takes a little time for other participants to validate that the hash value is correct. A miner finds a block of the transaction every 12-15 seconds. In case the miners provide the solution to a puzzle before or after 12 -15 minutes, the algorithm will automatically adjust to the hard problem so that the miners go back to roughly the 12 second solution time.\nThe miners earn random ethereum and the profit is based on luck or the amount of computing power given to each task. “Ethash is a proof –of – work designed in the way that requires more memory to make it hard to mine using ASICs. ASICs are specialized mining chips that provide a profitable strategy for mining bitcoin. When the miner gets a hash that reflects the current target, the miner will earn ether and post it on the block of the network for every node to verify and add to their own copy of the register. For instance, in case of miners A gets the hash, miner B will stop work on the recent block and repeat the activity for the next block.\n\nEthereum mining is a hot and trending topic in the news. Mining it also provides substantial benefits when compared to other crypto. Get ahead of the mining curve by trying Ethereum mining before the price goes up! \n\n\nhttps://cryptodaily.co.uk/2018/02/ethereum-is-the-best-cryptocurrency-to-mine/\nhttps://www.bitdegree.org/tutorials/best-cryptocurrency-to-invest/\nhttps://www.coindesk.com/information/ethereum-mining-works/",

It is a way of having money while maintaining freedom and control that traditional Fiat may not have. It even offers multiple aspects  of production through mining and proof of work. Mining has been gaining importance and mass media coverage due to the innovative way that currency is created. \n This is a technical process by which a type of new digital currency is released into circulation based on tasks that are completed. This activity that is performed by the so-called ‘miners’ is actually beneficial to the entire system and is easily supported by individuals around the world. Here is a basic overview of the field of Cryptocurrency mining, and how you can benefit from it !\n\nCryptocurrency Mining 101\n\nMiners use their ability to process, verify or record transactions throughout the crypto-economy. This is the main activity that happens to generate new currency. A complex mathematical equation is involved in mining, involving verifications that are performed by computers  and other types  of hardware. This happens in the blockchain at various points in the mining process. Due to the fact that there is a good network in the system, it comes with a reward that involves the harvest of predetermined coins when the process of verifying transactions is done.\nIn past years, it was very easy to mine currency with the use of computers and laptop as well as simple internet devices. However, as time has passed, the requirements for profitable mining have skyrocketed. \nWhere simple technology was once a viable option for mining, graphics cards and networks of computers are now needed in order to successfully mine the same currencies. This made many miners join forces and create large rooms equipped with the best and most powerful computers, exclusively for these processes. This pool mining has even been opened up for the public with investment options. \nBitcoin has been one of the earliest cryptocurrencies that miners have addressed. Nevertheless it is now one of the hardest currencies to mine with just a single computer for a regular non technical person. This is the reason why there are other types of currencies that have been brought to the table when it comes to elementary mining operations. These are the types that can be mined using computers without any restrictions and for individuals rather than organizations. \n\nMonero cryptocurrency\n\nAccording to the statistics and contemporary research, Monero is found to be one of the best cryptocurrency to work with when mining on a PC in 2018. \nHow is this one of the best cryptocurrency in the industry? Many organizations have utilized Application Special Integrated Circuit(ASICs) in the process of completing mining tasks. These are the chips that were invented to specifically mine bitcoins.\nASIC made it much harder for people to mine bitcoins because of the cost and specialized need for equipment. However, Monero is a cryptocurrency that was designed in a way that doesn't require the same infrastructure. This is advantage and the reason why it is so much easier to mine Monero on your PC.\n\nWhat are the steps for Monero mining?\n\n•    First of all, you need to download a Monero wallet to your PC.\n•    Secondly, you need to install the software that will help to complete mining tasks.\n•    In case you need to generate more coins using the software, you will need to get a graphics card so as to increase the processing power.\n \nDifferences between Bitcoin and Monero\n\nThese are several key differences to show that Monero is better to work with on a PC rather than Bitcoin.\n•    Bitcoin does not have adequate privacy that is needed by most individual miners. Why is privacy important? When someone has already transacted using bitcoins, there will inevitably be some information that is being retrieved by the blockchain. This makes it  public and your personal information can be exposed or tracked.\n•    Fungibility is a factor that also puts Monero in the limelight over Bitcoin. Fungibility is when a product can be substituted for another without any distinguishing features. You cannot say the same for Monero. \n\n\nMonero cryptocurrency has been one of the most beneficial currencies in the cryptocurrency world. As we have seen, there are so many advantages that come with mining using Monero. A huge percentage of the people who have access to the internet have access to interact and transact business using cryptocurrency, making mining an incredibly important part of the Cryptocurrency marketplace and ecosystem.\nThis has led to a growing desire amongst people around the world to mine currencies. In the earlier years, bitcoin was the most famous currency that was used for mining. As the years went on, it became too hard to mine them with personal computers alone. That is the reason why other currencies had to be invented and are now easily accessible. As we have seen above, Monero can work on any PC. This has made it  possibly the best cryptocurrency to be used when mining in current times. \nIn bitcoins transactions, there are cookies that are saved that make it possible for individual transactions to be tracked down. Meanwhile Monero has been named as the new face of digital currency by a study that was carried out last year. This is due to the high levels of privacy that have been established across the network. \nIn conclusion there are a lot of reasons to consider Cryptocurrencies mining. \nIt can be a profitable system to generate currency. \nWhile there are a lot of coins, Monero stands out significantly. Value is also one of the factors that make Monero a preferable means of transacting businesses on the internet with the use of cryptocurrency. \nMining has grown dramatically in the past decade and will continue to advance for years to come !",

      "body": "![bitcoin-3242599__480.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmf8Umj3MJASsX7U4SPCN8Tjf6doRoEfR7gFB9HiUpByv5/bitcoin-3242599__480.jpg)\n What are cryptocurrency exchanges?   These are online platforms where can trade cryptocurrency or fiat currency for one another. It is like a virtual currency change, similar to what may be at an airport or bank. Because of the incredible popularity of crypto currency, a lot of exchanges have closed their doors to new customers. After some careful research we have found some of the best exchanges that are still accepting applications and have the best features. Here is a brief overview of the lay of the land with cryptocurrency in 2018: \nTraditional cryptocurrency exchange. These work like a typical exchange where the platform operates just a middle man; to facilitate buyers and sellers in exchanges of their currencies according to market rates. The exchanges make money by charging for every transaction made. Some only specialize in cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin while others also allow exchange of fiat currencies like the US dollar or British pound. Kraken and GDAX are some of the most prominent examples of traditional cryptocurrency exchanges run by a middle man while Etherdelta is a peer-to-peer exchange type that still is taking on new accounts. \n\nDirect trading platforms: These exchanges allow and facilitate peer-to-peer transactions of currency. There is no set market value or price, so sellers set their own rates and prices.  There are two ways of buying on this platform; one can either do it over the counter (OTC) or buyers can just say the rates they want to buy at and the platform matches them with the right sellers. This may not be the most ideal solution but it most the preferable in some regions where crypto is highly regulated. However, you need to do some research to make sure you are not trading at a loss. Check the prices on Coinmarketcap because some people may rip you off when there is no fixed market price.\nCryptocurrency brokers; These website-based exchanges work like currency exchanges.  Brokers buy or sell cryptocurrencies at market price plus a small service fee.  Examples of such brokers include Shapeshift and Coinbase. They let you swap one type of cryptocurrency for another.  This is the best bet for new users because it is easy but you may have to pay a slightly higher price for the exchange rates.\nCryptocurrency funds:   This is a pool of cryptocurrency assets that are professionally managed to allow people to buy and hold their funds through the fund. GBTC is one such system. This platform allows customers to trade in cryptocurrency without having to buy or store it directly.\n The main thing to note in this system is that everyone who wants to trade in cryptocurrency will either use an exchange or a broker. People turn to direct trading platform when they have run out of options. Similarly, funds are a no-go to most people because they have lots of restrictions. For instance, GBTC is the only one  open to members of the public currently that we found. \n \nHow to buy cryptocurrency without paying any fees\nNo one like paying fees right?  That is the main reason why most people get into cryptocurrency in the first place. Did you know that banks charge just for holding your money yet they are making money off your investment and you get nothing back in return?  Regardless of your bank, you will be charged some kind fee. The same is true when trading in cryptocurrency even though the fees are much lower.  But did you know that you can trade cryptocurrency without paying hardly any fees at all?  It is important to note that most cryptocurrency transactions involve hefty fees. For instance, for those with coinbase account buying and selling cryptocurrency have to pay at least 1.4%. Which means that you may need to have an extra 3% before you make a profit. Being outside the US might also result in some fees which is far from ideal for most people.\nHow to use GDAX/coinbase to trade in cryptocurrency without paying major fees\n To put it simply; you have to open a coinbase and GDAX account and then fund it with USD and set restrictions on GDAX to trade. You can then use platforms such as Shapeshift to change Litecoin, Ethereum or Bitcoin into cryptocurrencies. While this is not the only way to trade in cryptocurrency without paying a fee, it is one of the simplest and easiest especially for beginners. This might also be the best option of those in New York and Washington where state regulations limits the choice of cryptocurrency exchanges. Here is how you can trade cryptocurrency without paying even a penny:\nSign up for coinbase:  You may need to attach your ID and bank account to withdraw money and to verify your details. This will also help to expand your spending and withdrawal limits.\n Open Coinbase’s GDAX account; GDAX only deals in the top 3 cryptocurrencies; bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin. This account has minimal fees for all transactions but if you combine with coinbase which gives great ease of use in transfer of funds , there are close to no fees at all.\n Deposit some money into your coinbase or GDAX account: You can wire directly from your bank account and get quick access but if you don’t want to pay any fees you can make a deposit and wait for 4-8 days. However, this may come with a withdrawal limit of $200-$5,000.\nTransfer your funds from coinbase to GDAX: if you deposited your money into a coinbase account instead of GDAX, all fund transfers between accounts, withdrawals and deposits are quick and free.\nYou can now buy and sell coins in GDAX. Be careful about timing because buying too close to the current price might trigger a fee. Which means that if you want to make quick sells you will be charged a take fee. This might sound complicated but GDAX is very easy to use once you get used to it.\n Withdraw from coinbase to your bank account:  Hit the withdraw button to send money to your bank account.\n That is how you trade cryptocurrency without paying a fee; GDAX is your exchange while Coinbase facilitated the transfer of dollars from each sell of cryptocurrency into your bank account.\n\nNow that you have an idea of how to trade for next to nothing, you may want to consider branching out and trying other exchanges. These are exclusive and the more time that goes by, the fewer exchanges are allowing new members to register. It's great to get ahead of the curve and register now, while you still can. \nHere are the Top 10 cryptocurrency exchanges that are still accepting registrations in 2018\n1.     Bittrex.\nThe Cryptocurrency landscape keeps on enlarging each and every day. Multinational companies have taken interest in cryptocurrency as well. This is because of the profits that they are bringing. Another reason the business is so famous is because it is decentralized. One of these currency exchanges catering to businesses is Bittrex. This is a cryptocurrency company that is based in the United States.\nWhat fees does Bittrex charge?\nThe fees that are charged are one of the main factors that make a certain cryptocurrency to stand out from others. This is a major advantage in Bittrex. The following are the fees that are being offered by Bittrex.\nTrades: When you are conducting a trade using Bittrex, you are charged only 0.25% of the total profit that you make. This means that it is calculated by taking the amount*purchase price*0.0025. If it happens that the purchase has not been executed, you will be refunded after cancellation of the transaction.\nDeposits: As far as it is known, there are no charges that are out when you are depositing. However, there are some coins that require to be transferred to another account. This action is charged.\nWithdrawals: the only charges that are present in withdrawals are the standing charges in the network being used.\n \n \n \n\n2.
