So bitcoin is the latest craze, it solves a world problem and is very attractive to many people. It has a level of anonymity, if you so choose, its decentralised and its very nice to know that no government or federal reserve can own it. However ,the currency is not mainstream….yet and hence there isn't many things you can buy with it unless you sell it for another currency, but why do we have to?  Well here is at least one simple way of buying mobile date and airtime with your bitcoin using Luno.

1. From within the Luno mobile app click on Prepaid
   
   
   
   
2. Enter the mobile number you buying for. You can buy for yourself or someone else
   
   
   
   
3. Enter beneficiary name and select your mobile network
   
   
4. Enter your pin code or sign in with your finger print
   
   
   
   
5. Specify the type and amount of data or airtime you wish to buy with your bitcoin or ethereum.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
6. Enter an optional reference number for the transaction and select if you want to buy with your Bitcoin or Ethereum wallet
   
   
   
   
   
   
7. Confirm your purchase details and Enter your pin code or use finger print authentication
   
   
   
   
8. That's it. Good job on your first purchase using Bitcoin or Ethereum.

Recover GUI in Windows Server 2012

Today, while trying to fix another issue on my SCCM server I created another.

I was trying to uninstall and reinstall .NET 3.5 and 4.5. After a successful removal I rebooted the server and after logging in I was confronted with a Server 2012 alternative shell command prompt. I rebooted and still server 2012 r2 only boots to command prompt.I could CTRL+ALT+DEL and open the task manager and open things like firefox but not able to reinstall it. Obviously, I learned the hard way the effects of removing .NET as a windows server feature.

The Fix

On the command prompt window, run the following and wait till it asks you to restart. See Image below.




Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:Server-Gui-Mgmt /featurename:Server-Gui-Shell /featurename:ServerCore-FullServer /all

This solution worked perfectly for me.
