Global Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Market

If youve ever had a company or friend offer to pay you with Bitcoins or another type of digital money, youve encountered cryptocurrency, also called crypto-money or cryptoassets.

Cryptocurrency is a digital currency that is created through the use of encryption software. This approach is a solution to security and control issues that prevented a purely digital currency from being successfully developed in the past. If you hear someone talking about one of these currencies, its almost certainly in a cryptocurrency format. This type of digitally created and secured money is currently in a period of very cool experimentation, so lets take a look at how it work, why its popular, and where cryptocurrency is heading in the future.

How does a currency exist in a totally digital format? What is it based on? While the process varies a little between different cryptocurrencies, they all follow the same general system.

First, cryptocurrency chooses a base unit and how much that particular unit is worth when compared to other currencies (often, the U.S. dollar is used as a baseline). Some cryptocurrencies are more imaginative than others at this point. They try to represent debt registries, contracts, or the act of currency exchange itself. It can get a little weird, but ultimately the unitin some way relates to the value of other currency, as is true of all currencies in the world.

Units of cryptocurrency are then created, typically when a transaction occurs. The units are carefully formed and preserved through algorithmic encryption, then linked together in vast chains of data, where the currency can be tracked and exchanged.

However, at this point, cryptocurrency is still too vulnerable and too easy to fake. The currency units need to be timestamped and processed to make them more concrete and harder to copy. A third party developer can do this, but most cryptocurrencies prefer to crowdsource the process to those with the right hardware and software to mine the currency.

Mining uses algorithms to go through each transaction, encrypt the cryptocurrency, and add it to a digital ledger, essentially verifying it and cementing its position online. This process may also be referred to as consensus protocols orconsensus platforms, depending on the currency. This process is meant to make the currency impossible to duplicate, though whether its successful is up for some debate.

Some cryptocurrencies are highly centralized, with someone usually the organization that created the process/software making decisions about how much currency is created and how it is used. Other types are very decentralized, controlled only by how and where people are willing to use them.

Cryptocurrencies represent awesome payment systems that enable anyone to send and receive money to and from anyone in the world; convert it to fiat currencies easily and use it to buy whatever one might choose whether online or offline. However, one of the drawbacks of crytpcorurrencies is that it can be somehow hard to buy them, especially in selected countries where it is difficult to open a bank account.

Throughout this article, I will show you three ways to make money online in the form of cryptocurrencies using just your laptop/PC and an internet connection:

Steemit.com is a blockchain based social network, that incentivizes its users for posting and curating (upvoting) content. On Steemit, you can makemoney online, in the form of crypto, for posting new content and/or curating (up-voting) the content of others. The social network has three forms of currencies/tokens:

When you publish a post on steemit, you will receive rewards for it after 24 hours depending on the number of upvotes it received by other users, who create content. Your earnings will be divided into 3 portions

a. 50% will be in the form of STEEM Power

b. 25% will be in the form of STEEM

c. 25% will be in the form of SBD

STEEM and SBD can be instantly transferred to an exchange and sold for Bitcoin, while you can only convert STEEM Power to STEEM, to be able to sell it, through a complex process known as Power Down.

Even though I remember that I used to mine around 1 whole bitcoin every 36 hours in 2010,using just my PC, it is now impossible to mine bitcoin and most major altcoins using a PC, as the networks of all these coins have grown massively and their networks difficulties have skyrocketed too. However, there are a handful of altcoins that you can still mine using a PC with reasonable specifications.

Minergate provides a descent service that enables you to mine a number of altcoins using your PC or laptop including monero, bytecoin, ethereum, ethereum classic and others. The software also has a great option; Smart mining, which automatically picks up for you the best coins to mine according to market prices and network difficulties.

With a few clicks, you can download, install and start mining cryptocurrencies using your laptop. The higher the specifications of your PC (processor, RAM) and GPU, the bigger the amount you can make via Minergates mining software. Roughly speaking, a dual core i5, 8 GB RAM PC with a 1 GB Nividia Geoforce GPU can mine what is worth around 10 cents per day.

Gridcoin Research (GRC) is a cryptocurrency network that is created to facilitate multi-party computing and reward volunteers who donate their computing power to BOINC projects with GRC. You can make between 8-30 cents per day via donating your PCs processing power to the gridcoin network.

Follow the BOINC client and gridcoin installation guides on gridcoins official website and in less than 20 minutes, you will be earning gridcoin for donating your computers processing power.

Jaxx also revealed that it is in talks with Zcash on the possibility of supporting ZEC shielded addresses. Currently, Jaxx supports transparent addresses which behave similarly to Bitcoin, publishing transaction data publicly to the blockchain. It explained that while the use of shielded addresses by others provide greater privacy for transparent addresses compared to Bitcoin, official support for shielded addresses in Jaxx will significantly enhance capabilities for users.

The privacy aspect of their [Zcash] technology meshes really well with Jaxxs philosophies. Weve been working on a Zcash-integrated iOS version for a long time and were over the moon that Zcash has been approved on the App Store, Anthony Diiorio, CEO of Jaxx, said. Zcash is a very well run project and its been an absolute pleasure to work with Zooko and team. We look forward to continuous collaboration between our two projects, especially for when we implement Zcashs shielded addresses.

In addition to Jaxx, Zcash also announced its integration on a second wallet, SmartWallet, a Brazilian money application.
