    That's actually a pretty good idea - these tips could go toward buying hardware for testing, seeing as they can't really be used for anything else anyway. Besides, it seems Michael has to dip into his own pockets often enough for reviews anyway.

        Only if it's backed by actual BS.

            Seems to have dropped recently when checking after some recent readers asking.

              Actually through Coinbase and such can convert it into USD. Unfortunately the margins are too tight recently and ad rates tanking this month (looks like it might be GDPR related...) that unfortunately no plans to buy any new hardware for review anytime too soon.

                Bitcoin mining fees used to be crazy, but seem to have dropped to reasonable numbers again.

                Right now, it's approximately:
                BTC: 0.00015 ~ 1.26 USD
                BCH: 0.0002 ~ 0.28 USD
                ETH: 0.0012 ~ 0.85 USD
                LTH: 0.00075 ~ 0.10 USD

                    Why you don't use XMR? Just implement a webpage with a XMR mining.
