What is the waitlist on the product page I can sign up for?

The “waitlist” is not a reservation list to reserve your miner or spot in line. When applying for the wait list you are essentially on a list to get direct notifications for when the inventory is updated on the website for that particular product.  When an order is cancelled or payment time expires, it will automatically add inventory back to the website and will notify people on the waitlist. If you visit the site and it shows out of stock after receiving notification, then they have already sold out again.

What Is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is the first worldwide decentralized crypto currency and digital payment system called digital currency, as the system works without a central repository or single administrator.  The system is peer-to-peer, and transactions take place between users directly, without an intermediary.  These transactions are verified by network nodes and recorded in a public distributed ledger called a blockchain.

Bitcoins are created as a reward for a process known as mining.  They can be exchanged for other currencies, products, and services.  As of February 2015, over 100,000 merchants and vendors accepted bitcoin as payment. Bitcoin can also be held as an investment.  According to research produced by Cambridge University in 2017, there are 2.9 to 5.8 million unique users using a crypto currency wallet, most of them using bitcoin.

How does Bitcoin compare to other currencies?

The main difference about Bitcoin from normal currency is that it is decentralized, meaning no single person or institution has control over the network.  This makes many people feel better knowing that a large bank cannot control their money.  More and more companies are accepting Bitcoin as a payment method every day, mainly because transaction fees are much less, usually at most 2% and as little as 0%.

How secure is Bitcoin to use?

The only way a Bitcoin transaction can fail is due to human error.  To transfer funds you use a wallet address which is a very complex strands of letters and numbers.  If you enter the wrong address or the wrong payment amount, that is the only thing that can cause a Bitcoin transaction to fail.

How does Bitcoin Mining work?

Bitcoin mining begins with computers called miners.  These miners use their processing power to solve complex math equations.  They verify transactions and decrypt blocks of newly released Bitcoin.  As a reward for solving these equations, they are rewarded with a certain amount of Bitcoin in return, which in turn can be exchanged into US dollars.

Can I make money mining Bitcoin?
