@onlymythoughts

A bit of a drizzly rainy day today. Just been for a morning walk, not sure what to do with the rest of the day... 🤔

@onlymythoughts

My first BCH purchases I have been interested in cryptocurrencies since 2017 when I bought my first Bitcoin. There is so much to learn but I found it really interesting. Before the price of Bitcoin took off wildly the transactions were fast and cheap too, it seemed like the perfect way to buy and sell goods without the need for an intermediary. Bitcoin has a flaw though, the block size is small and some believe that it is being kept small deliberately in order that solutions…

@onlymythoughts

Cloudy morning but at least I got outdoors for a bit and treated myself to a take away latte. Weather is looking warmer next week which is great as I booked a couple of days off. 😊

@onlymythoughts

I don't care if Cryptos down, For this verse please stick around, Bitcoin I don't care about you, i'll buy some BCH. Monday price could fall apart, Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart, Thursday doesn't even start, its Friday i'll go spend. Buy some coffee or some tea, maybe even some honey, that will really do nicely, now Friday i'm in love. The price goes back up, its a wonderful suprise, I drink coffee and my spirits rise, Throw away fear, uncertainty doubt, BCH is what its…

Managing Mobile Data Have you ever had a nasty shock because you thought that you were on wi-fi streaming youtube for a couple of hours but found out you were using mobile data and you used up all your monthly allowance in a day? I will talk about a few different ways there are to manage your mobile data and save yourself some money too. These methods relate to Android devices, though you may be able to do the same thing on iphone using similar apps. The first and most…

@onlymythoughts

Been at work today and thinking about whether I should go out on another 5k park run tomorrow or not, I am feeling quite tired. I've had an exciting Friday evening writing my latest read.cash article about a few different ways to manage your mobile data. If you use an Android phone you may find this useful. If you would like to read it you can check it out here. https://read.cash/@onlymythoughts/managing-mobile-data-e19dd469 Picture: Pixabay

5k This morning in 33.32 but my Strava is playing up, says no gps in my notification bar, but still records my route. Anyway I forgot to press finish. Still I got the Parkrun results and was 34 seconds quicker than last week. I'm late for work now lol, gotta dash 🏃🏃

@onlymythoughts

Downloaded my Bitcoin.com wallet again, I used the cloud backup with my Google account. If you use this function its really important to also have your unique password too. (Not your Google password) otherwise you won't be able to access your wallet. Also make a note of your 12 word seed phrase too! Restored mine succesfully, Bitcoin.com wallet has a few more features I would like to try out for example scan QR code from a screenshot. I will keep some of my BCH here too I…

@onlymythoughts

Got some BCH on Monday, spent a little bit on Tuesday, topped up a bit on Wednesday and on Thursday, Friday and Saturday I chilled on Sunday. Inspired by Craig David 🎶🎤😜 https://youtu.be/Sy6iDX3hN3Q

Legal Tender Day 7th Sept 21 Today is a big day for cryptocurrency supporters. It is the day that Bitcoin becomes legal tender in El Salvador! On Monday the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukle confirmed that his government has purchased 200 BTC and intends to buy $150 million US dollars worth to use as a fund to facilitate conversions from BTC to USD. The government will provide every citizen with the equivalent of $30 USD in BTC through a state provided digital wallet.…

The beauty of a stroll beside the canal Close to my home there is a canal which I love to walk along when the weather is fine. I haven't walked along there for a few weeks as this summer has not been the best, however here in the UK we are currently enjoying just a few days of early September sunshine. The current temperature is 27°c, which is very warm for the time of year. I find that the surroundings are beautiful and peaceful beside the river so I thought that this would…

@onlymythoughts

Glad I got out yesterday for a wonderful walk along the river, such a beautiful day it was. Last night we had some rain and this morning it is cloudy and much cooler. ☁️☁️

@onlymythoughts

Don't know if I am correct but sometimes some of the comments on my posts seem irrelevant and random. This morning I posted a picture of a cloudy sky and said that I was glad I could enjoy the sunshine yesterday as today is rather gloomy. First comment was 'Wow beautiful scene bla bla and so on' Did they read my post of just paste a random reply I wonder. 🤔

@onlymythoughts

A little treat on my travels at Corley services on the M6. 😀

@onlymythoughts

Customize your Android I am often trying to customise my android device, I used to 'root' my phones which is basically gaining access to the protected system directory by running an exploit to unlock this. There are many guides online you can follow which can help you do this. I found it pretty cool to be able to uninstall bloatware, modify the cpu speed, freeze apps and save battery too. Rooting your device has many advantages but also some risks. If you modify or delete…

@onlymythoughts

Cloudy but dry day today currently 18c, i'm out for a walk and have seen this lovely Jasmine Nightshade hanging over a garden wall. 💮💮

@onlymythoughts

Out and about in the Shropshire countryside this morning, feeling pleasantly warm today with a nice breeze currently 17°c

@onlymythoughts

A few gliders at the gliders club in Shropshire, we stopped for a spot of lunch here too. 😊 A few gliders are flying today as the breeze is light and the weather reasonably fine. 🪂🪂

@onlymythoughts

Had a lovely break from work and enjoyed a few days relaxing in beautiful Shropshire, but today I have to go back to work. 😔 Need to motivate myself to get ready soon. Just wanted to share a few pics of the beautiful countryside.

@onlymythoughts

A lot of rain around today here in the UK, I don't feel bad for staying indoors all morning, tomorrow is my day off and its looking a but drier so I hope to get out and about a bit then. Not much exciting to share with you today, just a picture of mine on a sunnier day. 😊

@onlymythoughts

A song for a day like today, rainy days and Mondays by The Carpenters. Such an amazing voice, but such a tragic thing that Karen Carpenters life was cut short by Anorexia, such an awful illness. https://youtu.be/Kq-YlXb-bq8 Picture: Pixabay

@onlymythoughts

Been cutting back the hedges in the garden this morning, filled up my green waste bin already, it sure grows quickly! I need a shower now as it was hard work, put on some fresh clothes to and sit down with a nice cup of tea. I have been using 'Swagbucks' this week as a little side hustle, nearly at 700 points and enough to withdraw my first £5 PayPal cash! Not a bad site, quite a few ways to earn Swag. Anyone else use any sites like Swagbucks?

@onlymythoughts

Side Hustle I have been trying a couple of apps over the last week, trying to get a little pocket money and thought I would share my experience with you. These apps won't make you rich but could give you a way to make a little in your spare time. The first app I can tell you about is called 'Swagbucks' and you can earn gift cards and PayPal cash quite easily by playing games and doing a few surveys. All the data from the surveys is anonymised so the answers you give are not…

@onlymythoughts

I didn't know what to write about today, I asked my workmate yesterday for some inspiration, she said 'look out of the window, then go to the fridge, then look out of the window and go back to the fridge and the ideas will come' Anyway not sure if she is right but I had lots of yummy food! Anyway I have written a short article about my Swagbucks and Inbox Pounds experience over the last week, its called 'Side Hustle' and you can read it here if you like.…

Something to be aware of these Scam! e-mails pretending to be from Coinbase, I checked the full header, it's definetly not from Coinbase. If you are ever in doubt, don't click any links and check your Coinbase account for anything unusal in the usual way via the app. Screenshots of the scam e-mail.

The Ivermectin Story During the current Covid-19 pandemic pharmacutical giants have been rapidly researching and developing vaccines as a the best way to reduce hospitalisations and serious illness. It is believed by some that there is already a cheap and effective treatment for Covid-19 which has been overlooked by many. Could it be that the pharmacutical giants are not interested in using Ivermectin as a treatment because it is so cheap and they will not profit from its…

The Utopian Dream The gap between rich and poor is becoming bigger all the time and did you know that the richest 1% of people in the world have as much as 82% of the worlds wealth! How can that be fair, why does anyone need that amount of money! Surely no-one does and maybe it would be nice if they were to redistribute their wealth to help the poorest in society. But if they do not want to, what can we do about it? Is capitalism to blame and if so what is the answer. Should…

An evening walk before it gets dark, the nights are drawing in and the Autumn is on its way. 🌿😊

Shibu the meme coin has just launched on Coinbase! Also a heads up for Coinbase users, a new Coinbase earn opportunity to earn $3 in Chiliz tokens is available. 🤩

@onlymythoughts

On the way home from work on a Friday and just stopped to take a picture of these scarlet geranium, which are in the flower beds around town. 😊

@onlymythoughts

A new feature on noise cash I think, have a look at settings, looks like they now have a built in BCH wallet, I haven't set it up yet. I wonder if this is optional and we can still use our external BCH address if we prefer? Anyone know any more details? 🤔

@onlymythoughts

With the help of a cool app called 'Island' I can play two Pokemon go accounts at the same time on android in split screen mode. With Island you can create a seperate profile, a 'Work' profie and log in with a different google account. Your main account is the 'Mainland' and your work profile is the 'Island'. This works with any app by the way not just Pokemon go, but facebook, twitter, insta or whatever you choose. Here is a link to the Island app on 'Apk Pure' it is on the…

A very balanced and fair view on the pandemic and vaccines. After a bit of hesitstation and delay because of my worries about vaccine safety I had my first Pfizer Jab 6 weeks ago, but my reasons for taking it were more about being able to travel abroad again than my fears about Covid. I realise that this virus can be deadly to some, however I believe that whether we take the vaccine or not is a matter of conscience not our duty. Well worth a read this article. 😷…

@onlymythoughts

So I have created a new online wallet here on Noise Cash, with a brand new seed phrase, will the funds go directly to there now I wonder? I am posting this to see what happens. I had 0.94 pending and my threshold was $1.00 so I have edited the threshold to 0.94 so it should pay out this amount and start afresh. I hope I did it right, creating a brand new wallet to use here rather than importing one of my hot wallet seed phrases.

@onlymythoughts

So I hope I've done this right, my online wallet has 0.98 though the 0.94 is still pending, I am guessing it has been sent to my online wallet and will just take a while to confirm the transaction and sync.

@onlymythoughts

Imported it as well to Bitcoin.com as a seperate wallet called 'Noise Cash Wallet' so I can keep track of my balance in real time.

@onlymythoughts

Don't know if this is correct, I imported my noise cash seed to Bitcoin.com wallet which is showing 0.45 but my 'online wallet' on this platform says 0.00, I know this as I tried sending a tip from the online wallet on this platform but it said insufficient funds. I thought if Bitcoin.com and the online wallet here were synced, using the same seed they should show the same balance? 🤔

@onlymythoughts

Good morning, I fixed the issue with the online wallet not showing any balance. I logged in from a new browser and clicked create new wallet. Made a note of the seed but this time didn't import it to an external wallet. I went back to my previous browser, logged out then logged back in and imported my new seed which I just created, I can now use the built in wallet to send tips and make payments! works well. If you import the seed to an external wallet then it causes issues…

A late September single red rose flowering in the garden this afternoon. 😊🌹

@onlymythoughts

I'd rather hold my private key than not, if I could, if I only could, I surely would, I'd rather keep it offline than the cloud, if I could, if I only could, I surely would, I'll encrypt my seed then password protect it, That might work, I do think so, but I don't know. I'll write it down on a metal plate, then I can hide it somewhere, maybe under the stairs. I'll maybe just try to memorise, but if I forget, when I get old, that would be bad. I'll pass my keys on if I should…

First official day of Autumn today, soon the leaves will be falling from the trees. The Autumn equinox means 12 hours of daytime and 12 hours of night for all in the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere the Autumn equinox is in March 21st. Picture: Pixabay

Food Shortages, Gas Prices and Covid the perfect storm Here in the UK things don't seem to be getting much better. We have come out of lockdown and life has returned to some sort of normality though as the economy has started to open up again a few things have happened which are quite worrying. There is currently a shortage of lorry drivers here in the UK, for many reasons including the 'pingdemic' (people being told to isolate as a result of being a close contact of someone…

@onlymythoughts

A short walk on this pleasant September morning, a nice gentle breeze today and currently 17°c. Forecast to reach 21°c this afternoon. 😊🌿

@onlymythoughts

Coinbase just notified me that I can stake my ETH and it will be converted to ETH2, I will earn up to 5% APY but I won't be able to trade them or withdraw until later this year when the upgrade is completed. The ETH2 tokens cannot be sent off the platform either. Just wondering if staking some is a good idea as the coins will be 'locked in' for some time. 🤔

Timing the market with crypto There is some debate about the best strategies for making money from crypto investments. Many people believe that the best strategy is to simply HODL which means 'hold on for dear life' throughout all the peaks and troughs of this highly volatile market. Depending on the size of your investment this takes nerves of steel. If you are brave enough to be disciplined and believe in the long term future of cryptocurrencies then this strategy could…

@onlymythoughts

Nandos was great, haven't been for a while, hope I can sleep though after the bottomless fizzy drinks and 3 tubs of chocolate frozen yogurt. 🌙😴😴😴

@onlymythoughts

People are panic buying petrol and diesel over here in the UK. The ongoing shortage of lorry drivers is making things difficult, supermarket shelves are half empty. That and covid and a crisis in the energy market too! Could be a long winter ahead.

@onlymythoughts

A song from way back in 1985 by a-ha sprung to mind today 'Hunting High and low' for some petrol! Things have gone crazy again here in the UK, all hyped up by the media! and made worse by all this panic buying, my local Shell garage is run dry! I haven't sat in a queue for fuel yet and have around 130 miles worth in the tank, though I hope this all settles down soon. But hey, what can I do about it? Enjoy the song. 😊🎶 https://youtu.be/s6VaeFCxta8 PS Would love see the best…

@onlymythoughts

Can anyone think of a song for the fuel shortage? Check out my previous post, 24hrs to think of one! 🎶😊

Songs that sound similar I am writing this article in response to the writing prompt 'similarities' by @JonicaBradley and thought I would write about some songs which sound to me quite similar. I thought this would be a bit of a fun thing to do. I am sure there must be many more similar sounding songs than I have listed here. ***The first single I want to share is a hit from 1986 by Greggory Abbott called 'Shake you down'. I have posted the video down below.***…

Not a bad day today but it's turned much cooler only 13c and the moment. I'm on my way to pick up my car from the garage as it passed its MOT first time today, thats alway a good thing. Just stopped for a rest as I am walking back to the garage which is 1.5 miles away and just captured a few pictures to share with you. Then I will need to get some fuel! for my car, still having problems here in the UK with mixed messages coming from the govenment. "No need to panic" then "We…

Yay I have fuel! Not much of a queue either, should do for a couple of weeks and maybe this crazy panic buying will start to ease a bit by then. 😊

Rainy days and Mondays Today has been one of those days! It hasn't stopped raining all day, its turned colder too and the Autumn time is definitely here. I feel that my mood is affected my the weather, I seem to lack energy when the nights are drawing in and we are heading towards winter. The days will get shorter and shorter from now until December and it will turn colder and colder too. On days like these I reminisce about the Summer that has passed, those warm endless…
