What a day!
Let me tell you how it was, although I have to start from yesterday afternoon...
Monday 3:30 pm
After zipping a small cup of coffee, I turn off the power of the whole house to be able to install the socket in the kitchen. After I did that I turned the power back on and with it, the modem-router and our PC Desktop, because I was going to write something to publish in my beloved read. cash.
Well, the internet service didn't come back and immediately I thought "The modem died".
Then my mom asked me to check if we had a tone in our phone, which we did, discarding the possibility that it was our service provider, or so I thought.
We replaced the wiring, used the Windows Problem Solver for that kind of case, and followed all the steps and nothing. Then I decided to call my aunt to check if she had service because last time it was just like that and as it turned out, several states were left without internet due to a failure I don't remember where.
Then the magic:
"Dear customer, we're sorry to inform you that your service has been temporarily suspended".
Why oh why? Our phone bill is domiciled through the wallet Patria, yes, Patria. For those of you who don't know what it is let me explain briefly:
It's a government platform created to assign people some Welfare Bonuses supposedly to alleviate the hardship caused by an economic blockade imposed by the USA.
Hey!
I don't believe in this speach, I'm just sharing the explanation the government gave for the creation of the platform. As for now, almost every Venezuelan Citizen has to have an account .
Anyways, almost a year ago, when they added that option for each client affiliated to that platform, my mother did it, as proof of course, and it worked. As long as you have funds in that wallet, your bills will be directly discounted on a monthly basis, thus avoiding service outages due to non-payment, so, what went wrong?
We don't know, what we do know is that I lost the slot I had to teach my weekly class in Peru and that I had to do magic to pay the bill to get the service again.
What a nightmare!
Tuesday, 6:00 am
I woke up tired and sleepy but ready to get down to business. Today was the first of a Two Set of Concerts the local orchestra and the University had organized. The Orchestra has no oboist so guess who they called?
If you said me you guessed right. That's not the only thing, the pieces we played have other instruments that play an important part and the orchestra doesn't have them, and I know their parts so I played them.
We took some pictures, we had fun, and I won the hateful stare of the Principal Director who looks at me with a heavy eye and does not hide the fact that she doesn't want me there. Then the authorities gave us a small breakfast, some Empanadas and Guava or Passion Fruit Juice, the latter by the way was amazing! And despite some of the empanadas were of Ground Beef Liver, the whole activity was good, let's hope tomorrow's is better!
A Read.Cash Tutorial...
I've been talking a lot to my friends about read.cash.
I told them how I found it, how I started, how does it work, and the benefits it has. Some of them don't like the idea of writing for a few bucks, even after I explained that you don't have to be a professional writer, that you can write in your language because there are communities for that, and the topics are endless. Then there are the ones that are interested in trying it out, but, find it difficult to start, so they've been asking me for a tutorial.
I don't see how signing up here is that difficult, but none of them have a clue about crypto, or wallets, or writing, etc. So I've been flirting with the idea of actually making a Video Tutorial about this platform, the thing is that I don't know where to start or if I should even do it.
Can you help me?
That's it for today! What a ramble, right?

Glad you found a way to pay that bill and get things restored. As for the tutorial, I think you should do it. I think a lot of people in your country could benefit greatly from even just a few bucks earned here.
I say go for it.
