New Coin Primecoin brings something new to the table!

The blogosphere has been lighting up this week with talk about Primecoin, a new bitcoin "clone" that brings something quite different to the table.

Primecoin instead of being a standard hashcash type of coin has its users calculating prime number chains to find blocks.

As of the typing of this post, primecoin has risen all the way up to .015 BTC per XPM and fallen to its current level of about .01 BTC per XPM.

Primecoin is traded on most alt exchanges like coins-e and cryptsy. You can learn more about it at Reddit Primecoin and download the latest and fastest wallet at this Sourceforge.net for linux and This one for windows

Bitminter, Bitcoin mining for dummies!

So you want to get involved in bitcoin, but the idea of running a command line application like cgminer scares you, or you really aren't that computer proficient?

Fear no more, Bitminter is here!

Simply go to the bitminter website, register, download the java applet and click start. The app does the hard work for you. Also, it is very low on ram resources (about 200mb for me), and unlike some mining apps which make the computer unusuable while mining, bitminter's app seems to get a very high output from my cards while still allowing me to do my day to day computer activities. Give it a try! 

As a side note, bitminter also does merged namecoin mining which increases your profits about 5% and gets you namecoins too. I just got my first payouts today! =)

Into Minecraft and Bitcoin? Have I got something fun for you!

If you're a fan of minecraft, and you happen to enjoy a little gambling from time to time, bitvegas is a new online casino built inside of minecraft that you can explore and play provably fair games in.

Welcome to BitVegas. A casino built 100% inside of Minecraft. 

Get a true 3d social experience amongst users of the bitcoin community

Perhaps you've only got a small amount of BTC? No problem, the casino allows small bets, and best of all:

"Once every fifteen minutes, players are gifted.. 0.5 mBTC via a chest.. "

This means not only can you play for free, you can gamble for free with free money as well. 

0.0005mbtc per 15 minutes = 0.002BTC per hour or 0.048 BTC per DAY! 

There is one stipulation that: Upon first joining the server, the number of free gifts a player may receive is set to thirty. Once every fifteen minutes, a player may go to a "Gift Chest" to receive a free gift of .5mBTC(.0005). Players may increase their number of free gifts by referring other players.

Regardless, bitvegas is a fun and easy way to get some BTC and have fun while doing it, far more fun than some fountain sites. Check it out! 

BITVEGAS

Silly Bitcoin lottery site

I wouldn't recommend this site as a good way to get some mBTC as the payouts currently are extremely low. That being said, the site is in beta, and the owner promises to up the payouts in the near future as things progress. Hopefully we will see payouts in the mili BTC in the near future.

Its still a fun way to kill a little time though, check it out:
