E-sports is the act of playing video games competitively and often in professional teams. StarCraft is a very complex real-time strategy game — often likened to chess — which focuses a lot on the collection of resources, one of which is called ‘minerals’. I know this because I’m both ...

Yesterday I found myself with some Bitcoin in my wallet, and a need to purchase something from Amazon. LocalBitcoins would be the usual place I went, but this time I decided I’d try bypass that route by way of purchasing an Amazon gift card from Pock.io. Pock.io are a UK-based company, offering various gift cards for UK retailers in return ...

Myriadcoin have tonight taken to Reddit to show off a screenshot of a new SMS-based wallet for the coin. This news comes soon after they announced an Electrum-based desktop wallet  earlier this week.

Earlier today, CryptoAltex team member ‘Chiznitz’, wrote on the site: CryptoALTeX will be shutting down soon. The volume and interest has not been enough to justify the time spent ...
