EBay Inc. (EBAY)’s PayPal service will start accepting bitcoins, opening up the world’s second-biggest Internet payment network to virtual currency transactions.

“We’re announcing PayPal’s first foray into bitcoin,” Bill Ready, the chief of EBay’s Braintree unit, said at Techcrunch’s Disrupt SF conference yesterday. “Over the coming months we’ll allow our merchants to accept bitcoin. On the consumer side it will be a sleek experience.”

ARM Miner Bitcoin is a SHA256/Scrypt based android mobile app miner. You can use this app to educate newbies about mining. Choose a new alt coin which has low difficulty (or) just start with DOGE coins that would be fun !!

Note : This app is not for serious miners as you won't get much coins with mobile hardware. This is just for academic purpose / fun.
