After just 3 days of mining on NiceHash I have received my first pay out. This right here is how I'm feeling haha.
In under 3 days I mined .00313084 worth of BTC. Today that translates to $7.96 and I found out Jaxx wallet has big fees to transfer from one wallet to another. It cost me .001 BTC just to transfer the money over to Poloniex.
So I exchanged 2/3 of the BTC for Steem and sent it here. Steem has dropped price today and BTC really hasn't so I'm pretty sure that was a good trade. I put the other 1/3 BTC into Steem Dollars and I will hold them until they come back up. The price was only $1.07 per SBD and it has been known to be $1.40-$1.60. So I will wait and see what happens with that.
All in all I am happy to have made a little bit of money mining and having some more change to add my Steem Power. Maybe one day I will be able to make enough on Steemit so I don't feel like I need to send anymore money here just re invest what I make here.
Same for me, I tried nicehash and fees to transfer the small amount of bitcoin really hurt. I might try the transfer using shapeshift.
Believe it or not, jaxx has ShapeShift built in. So there is nothing to save.
Oh wow. I'll have to try Jaxx then! Do you know if it's open source or potentially hackable like exchanges?
I prefere exodus. Looks so much better and has also built in ShapeShift.
