My top five crypto-earning sites and services in March: 1. Noise.cash (first time at the top!) 2. Brave Rewards & Creators 3. Presearch 4. Uptrennd 5. CoinBase Earn What were yours? #Cryptocurrency
@technicallyproduct in April 2021
So here's a nice Presearch feature - a dark mode! I know Google was testing a dark mode a couple of months back but I don't think it's widely available, so if you want a dark mode with your search: take a look at Presearch. #Cryptocurrency
Wow, I have more than 1,000 subscribers here now! Thank you for following me on my little crypto journey - I'm really enjoying being part of this community. #Cryptocurrency
Only 5 DOGE from my DogeLand Friday giftbox today - not as good as last week's 15. Still, it knocks two days off the time it will take me to reach minimum withdrawal. https://dogeland.io/reg/zuYvL5Gb #Faucet
Great, I've passed the Binance Masterclass exam and should receive a reward of BNB soon. The perfectionist in me is annoyed that I evidently got one question wrong though! #Cryptocurrency
I don't know if this is of interest to anybody, but I also write about marketing technology (especially analytics) on my own website. Here's a post I published today, about naming Views in Google Analytics in a way that makes life easier in Google Data Studio. https://www.technicallyproduct.co.uk/analytics/why-your-google-analytics-view-names-are-important-for-google-data-studio/
So Publish0x is now giving out iFARM rather than FARM, and has swapped users' existing FARM tokens to iFARM too. On the one hand, that's great - iFARM is interest-bearing and has a slightly higher value than FARM. But on the other hand, I think Publish0x should give users advance warning of changes like this! More info here https://www.publish0x.com/publish0x-official-blog/token-change-farm-to-ifarm-earn-interest-just-for-hodling-if-xwqdeoj?a=8mepYAP2aM
I've just made a bunch of withdrawal requests in Publish0x. I'm sending my iFARM to my Trust wallet (to earn interest), and my ETH and AMPL to KuCoin (to get the limited-time 10% bonus). Only small amounts of each. But I've never used KuCoin before, so I'm looking forward to that! #Cryptocurrency
Does anyone know why the price of XYO has gone through the roof? It's up 20x in the past month, and the trading volume is up significantly too. Great for COIN users like me, but I'd feel happier knowing the reason behind it! #Cryptocurrency
A question for any other StormGain users out there. I've been slowly working towards 'Gold' status, for which I'll need to have traded 150,000 USDT (it's a long-term goal!). But since yesterday the app is showing my trading volume as 0.00. Is this a bug do you think? #Cryptocurrency
It may be a "bank holiday" here in the UK (that's what we Brits call national public holidays) but crypto never takes a day off! Today for example it's also Celsius Rewards day... #Cryptocurrency
So my iFARM transferred from Publish0x to Trust wallet OK. It took me a moment to find it in Trust though because it is listed *after* a bunch of tokens I don't actually hold in Trust. I guess it's because I added iFARM as a custom token? I could always disable the others I suppose. #Cryptocurrency
So CEL is approaching an ATH, which I'm taking as a bullish signal for the market as a whole. What's interesting is that volumes are only slightly up (so far), which suggests there's more gas in the tank. #Cryptocurrencies
So this is an interesting CAPTCHA! I've only ever seen it once. And would you believe I failed it. I can't even draw a box around a cat and yet somehow I'm expecting to make millions from crypto. #Faucet
So you can now stake your Flare tokens on PipeFlare. I assume that PipeFlare is aiming to get Flare listed on an exchange - and wants users to have their tokens locked up when that happens so they can't all immediately sell and crash the price. In a funny way, it gives me confidence in the project. With that in mind, how long should I stake for? #Faucet
I wrote one of the winning entries in Publish0x's 'Search with Presearch' contest! The Presearch team had a hand in picking the ones they liked the best, so it's nice to think they liked my writing. And I got $80 of ETH as a reward so that's awesome. Here's my entry: https://www.publish0x.com/technically-crypto/presearch-for-publishers-a-viable-alternative-to-google-xkywkww?a=8mepYAP2aM And here's a roundup of all the winners - well done to everyone:…
My monthly BAT payment from Brave is in! Not the most BAT I've ever earned, but then the price has 4x in the past couple of months. #BraveBrowser
I found lockdown really hard, but what helped was the structure and routine that crypto gave me. As well as regular daily tasks (PipeFlare, GoodDollar etc), it provided weekly events (COIN bonus drops on a Sunday, Celsius Rewards on a Monday). Then there were monthly landmarks like Brave's BAT payout around the 7th. It really stopped every day merging into one, so thank you crypto. #Cryptocurrency
I earned my first 'friend bonus' on DogeLand on 26 March - 13 days ago. So tomorrow I'll find out whether the bonus gets added to the withdrawable balance after two weeks as promised. It's a small test of whether the site is legit (the main test being the actual withdrawal, another week or so from now). https://dogeland.io/reg/zuYvL5Gb
GoodDollar seems to be having problems this evening. I think I've been able to make my claim OK, but can't be entirely sure... #Cryptocurrency
Whenever I see this message, my brain reads it as "This game is probably fair". And I think, well is it or isn't it? #Faucet
A strange and historic day here in the UK. All the radio stations and TV channels stopped what they were broadcasting to announce the death of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, at the age of 99. I'm no Royalist but still feel moved by the shared national experience. #News
It's Friday, and that means #FreeCryptoFridays on Blockreward. The weekly reward is slowly creeping up and now stands at 40b, which equals $0.04 (in a choice of cryptos). Hardly a get-rich scheme but perhaps one to watch. https://blockreward.app/?r=455ee2eecd
Does anyone here know about iFARM? I've read that you can earn interest just by HODLing. I've got a little in my Trust wallet, but it doesn't seem to be ticking up or appreciating. How exactly do I earn interest? #Cryptocurrency
So I've just signed up for Ecoin, 'the world's biggest airdrop'. It doesn't look amazingly professional but it has five million members and it's also listed on ProBit (so one step ahead of Pi I guess). I've somehow earned 317 Ecoins which is about $0.60. Does anyone else use this? https://ecoinofficial.org/referral/rqp7wb0
Since the beginning of the year, crypto has accounted for around 10% of my overall income. That might not sound like much, but it's kind of a tipping point between crypto being a hobby and it being part of my lifestyle. I'm self-employed, so the more I can earn from crypto the less business I need to win. #Cryptocurrency
A happy CAPTCHA - well, nearly! #Faucet
Just when I'm starting to like ZEN, the faucet runs dry. Hopefully it's only a temporary thing - perhaps there's increased demand because the price of ZEN is up 40% in a week. #Faucet
Just got a new (for me) error on Presearch: "No available nodes to serve request". Does this suggest the service is gaining users faster than it is node operators? I'd be interested in running a node myself but I don't want other searchers' queries associated with my IP address. Maybe I could use a virtual machine? #Presearch
Happy Celsius Rewards Day! I think this was my largest weekly reward yet in dollar terms, but not when measured in CEL (because the price of CEL has been rising so much recently). #Cryptocurrency
I have very mixed feelings about this message in the COIN app. On the one hand, it's great to see other people near me using COIN to earn rewards. On the other hand - GO AWAY. I DON'T WANT TO SHARE. https://coin.onelink.me/ePJg/7ca16c04 #Earn
I've just been checking out tipb.ch, a tool that gives you a landing page and short URL for your BCH address. But it's a shame the associated faucet had to be turned off because of fake accounts. Spammers and fakes ruin a lot of stuff for the rest of us! https://tipb.ch/ #Bch
When people make the case for investing in crypto, they often point out its benefits compared to fiat and gold. But here in the UK at least, most investment is in the frankly insane housing market. Check out the title of this article in The Telegraph this week: 'Leaving London? The best commuter villages to buy a home in for less than £700k'. That's just under a million dollars, and will buy you... a nice family house. We'll never get mass adoption of crypto here unless…
Made a small but profitable buy trade on ETH overnight. I used 7x leverage, so ended up with a return on investment of around 31% when I closed the trade this morning. Wish I'd done a buy on BCH instead (which I nearly did) because that absolutely flew overnight. #Cryptocurrency
Oh, BetFury has once again halved the value of its free BNB box. It's now 0.00000275 BNB every 20 minutes. No great surprise as the price of BNB has doubled in the past three weeks. I've made $4.50 in BNB from this box since it started, so it's definitely been one of the better paying faucets (!) out there. #Faucet
Looks like $AMPL is getting ready for another run of positive rebases... it's about time! Incidentally the Ampleforth Dashboard is very useful for tracking this sort of thing: https://www.ampleforth.org/dashboard/ #Cryptocurrency
Oh, the CKB (Nervos Network) from CoinMarketCap Earn's previous campaign has arrived in my Binance account. I never get any notification, just one day I notice I've got more crypto than before.
I think it's beyond doubt now that DogeLand was a scam. Fortunately I didn't lose any money, but I did lose some time (and hope) so that's galling. If I encouraged you to lose time on this project too then I'm sorry for that. Next time, just ignore me and stick to Noise.cash. #Dogecoin
Now might be a good time to pick up some CEL. While the rest of the market has been rallying, CEL has seen a dip. I think this is because of a recent security incident: "An unauthorized party managed to gain access to a back-up third-party email distribution system which had connections to a partial customer email list. Once inside the system, this unauthorized party sent a fraudulent email announcement, of which we know some of the recipients to be Celsius customers." So…
Another strange new type of CAPTCHA for my collection! I wasn't very good at this one. I can spot artificially generated faces OK, but for some reason rooms are harder. #Faucet
It's unusual for me to trade MKR, but I thought I'd test out StormGain's 'trading signals' with a currency that I don't know that well. And in this case, yes, the signal was right and the trade ended up being profitable (after a bit of a wobble). #Cryptocurrency
I've just noticed that the little button to select a 'Chamber' for your message has been removed from Noise.cash. I wonder why? I see you can still post to a Chamber by going there and then composing your message. Maybe people were posting to Chambers without ever visiting them... #NoiseCash
Look at that - I did say that $AMPL was headed for some positive rebases! It's currently hovering around $1.30, its highest level in over a month. Now I need the market cap to go north of $400m. #Cryptocurrency
On the face of it, trading should be the easiest thing in the world. There are only two positions - buy and sell. Only two movements - up and down. Even blind guesses should be right half the time. And yet... the only easy thing about it is making a loss. Why is that - emotions getting in the way?
Just earned my first full DOGE in interest in Binance. OK, that's not going to change my world, but it's a nice symbol. One small step closer to a genuine passive income. #Dogecoin
Ridiculously, with DOGE reaching $0.42, my DOGE holdings are now worth more than my BTC holdings. Fortunately the bulk of my portfolio is made up of more sensible currencies like BCH! #Cryptocurrency
*Shakes fist at Binance* #Cryptocurrency
Finally decided what to do with my PipeFlare 'Flare' tokens (16,000 of them!). I'm staking one half for six months and the other half for 12 months. I couldn't find a public roadmap, but I very much doubt the token will be listed on an exchange in much less than six months' time. #Faucet
Wow, BCH is now the top coin in my portfolio (in terms of total dollar value). It recently overtook ETH and has just leapfrogged BAT too. Thanks, Noise.cash! Which alt is top of your portfolio?
Are any other COIN app users finding it harder to earn high bonus drop power recently? I usually get between 2.8 and 3.0, but last week I just managed 2.0. And I think this week will be similar... https://coin.onelink.me/ePJg/7ca16c04 #Earn
Great, I'm starting to see some rewards from staking my Flare Tokens on PipeFlare. It's a tiny amount compared to the daily faucet though, so I shouldn't really have given it so much thought! #Faucet
I'm glad I sold my DOGE at $0.38 (it's currently $0.21). Also glad I didn't get round to reinvesting that in BTC when it was $55k (it's now $48k). I think I'll just leave those funds tied up in a stablecoin until this drop bottoms out! What are your feelings on when that might be? #Cryptocurrency
This correction isn't all doom and gloom - COMP hit a new ATH today. The small amount I got from Coinbase Earn last year is now worth over $100. #Cryptocurrency
I'm really kicking myself this morning. Anyone who has interacted with AMPL on-chain is eligible for the FORTH airdrop. But I moved my AMPL direct from Publish0x to FTX Pro (an exchange), rather than a private wallet, so I think I'll miss out. I've emailed FTX but I'm not hopeful. Damn. https://www.publish0x.com/trading-blog/how-to-claim-your-dollar-forth-airdrop-given-by-ampleforth-xykreql?a=8mepYAP2aM
Take a look at this notification - "You've got a $0.01 ❤️". Is Noise.cash giving tips for Likes now? Great idea if so! #NoiseCash
I've been using KuCoin for a while, but I've only just learned (via a Publish0x article) that you can 'check in' to the mobile app every day to earn candies. You then exchange the candies for rewards - for example, 5,000 candies gives you $10 of USDT. Worth knowing if you're a KuCoin user like me! #Cryptocurrency
I'm (probably) not eligible for the FORTH airdrop, but that hasn't stopped me from claiming my $3 of FORTH from Coinbase Earn. OK, it's only worth $2.40 right now - I wish I'd waited a few more days before claiming!
Fiat exchange rates don't really help when I'm trying to work out how much my crypto portfolio has grown. The GBP to USD rate has increased from around 1.20 to around 1.40 in the past year. So my portfolio has grown proportionally more in dollar terms than in sterling terms (if that makes sense). #CryptoPrice
Happy Celsius Rewards Day! CEL and BNB are competing in my portfolio to see which is the most valuable (I don't have that much of either, sadly). At the moment, CEL is winning... #Cryptocurrency
One of the things I like about LBRY is that the 'Daily Watch Reward' can be claimed every 23 hours, not 24. This means you don't get progressively later making your claim each day. A small quality-of-life design choice but very helpful! #Lbry
Got paid my BNB for passing the 'Binance Masterclass Examination'! Not a huge amount (0.00482 BNB, which is around $2.67), but I'm still happy to get it. #Cryptocurrency
Oh nice, I got a few referrals from Presearch as a result of my article about it on Publish0x. I have to wait 30 days, but that's OK - at least all my referrals are 'recently active'. And here's what I wrote about Presearch: https://www.publish0x.com/technically-crypto/presearch-for-publishers-a-viable-alternative-to-google-xkywkww?a=8mepYAP2aM #Cryptocurrency
Another Binance Masterclass is starting tomorrow - this time the subject is 'The Ultimate Guide to Bitcoin' (shame it's not Bitcoin Cash!). Everyone who passes the accompanying test will be entered into a prize draw to win £10 of BTC. This one might be UK only I think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY-xktQ87YQ
ALGO has quietly been having a good week! I wouldn't be surprised to see it getting back up to the $1.60 level very soon. #Cryptocurrency
So I got some FLR tokens in the latest PipeFlare 'FlareDrop'. That's great, but I received 12 tokens... when the daily claim is around 100! I don't understand why the airdrops are less generous than the faucet. Hmm. #Earn
