@technicallyproduct in August 2021

@technicallyproduct

Bah - I had one night off crypto and missed the latest QR Code Challenge here on Noise.cash! I'll definitely catch it next time... Did you manage to get it?

@technicallyproduct

Just been doing my monthly calculations... July 2021 was actually my third best ever month for earning crypto, after April 2021 and November 2020. I have Noise.cash to thank for that mainly! (This is just looking at earning, not any gains from trading or from price increases.) #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

Finished analyzing my July earnings. Here are my top five sources of new crypto for the month: 1. Noise.cash (BCH) 2. Coinbase Earn (BAL, CLV & GRT) 3. Brave Rewards/Creators (BAT) 4. Presearch (PRE) 5. Publish0x (AMPL & iFARM) Wouldn't be surprised to see Celsius, Nexo and BetFury make future lists. What were your top earners? #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

It's Celsius Rewards Day! Until now I've been choosing to take my rewards in CEL because of the higher APY. But now it seems some of the in-kind reward rates are actually higher. What's better, getting a reward of 5.05% in CEL or 5.35% in ETH? And I wonder why the latter option is greyed out? #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

Look at this so-called survey I got sent over Telegram. "Fill in your Trust Wallet Recovery Phrase" - I don't think so! #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

I really appreciate this improvement to Brave. Instead of 'estimated earnings' like before, the browser now tells us exactly how much BAT we will receive and when. Bravo! #BraveBrowser

@technicallyproduct

I've just earned my first Tron (TRX) on BetFury through staking! OK, it took me 64 days - and 1TRX every 64 days isn't going to make anyone rich (I did earn other rewards as well in that time though). But I'm confident that my second Tron will be quicker, my third Tron quicker again, and so on as I build up my pool of assets being staked. #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

Really strong performance from XYO at the moment! It's technically not an ATH, but the previous ATH back in May was some weird and very temporary spike - so for all intents and purposes this is an ATH. Huge volumes being traded as well... I wonder why? #CryptoTrading

@technicallyproduct

New rewards have been listed on CoinMarketCap - and some of them even have prices! The Enjin NFT has sold out (in less than a day?!) but I'll soon have enough diamonds to get the MOBOX MOMO NFT Key. To be honest though, I'm holding out for the CMC hoodie... https://coinmarketcap.com/account/rewards/

@technicallyproduct

I've done it - I'm now a member of #Club1BCH! You will have to take my word for it though, as my BCH is scattered across four wallets. But this was one of my big crypto goals for the year so I'm happy to have reached it. Thanks to Noise.cash of course... as that's where most of my Bitcoin Cash has come from.

@technicallyproduct

I use a nice little website called Coin.fyi to keep track of my crypto portfolio, but it doesn't list every single coin. So I'm pleased to see it has recently added BFG (BetFury). Not sure where it pulls all its data from though. https://coin.fyi/coins/betfury #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

CoinMarketCap has added a 'Diamond Leaderboard' showing which users have collected the most Diamonds so far. There are 4,203 users with 900 Diamonds whereas I only have 860, so I must have missed a few days (or activities). But anyway, I suspect those 4,203 users will grab any decent rewards before I get to them... #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

OK, so my portfolio is back up to 75% of its ATH. Still a way to go until it returns to the heights it enjoyed in early May, but things are definitely looking positive. Having a chunk of ETH is certainly helping me out - though there's not much chance of ETH usurping BCH from the #1 spot in my portfolio! #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

It turns out I actually won an airdrop on CoinMarketCap! I got 10,000 RBT (Rabbit). There were only 1,000 winners from 69,000 participants so that's pretty lucky. But I don't know whether my RBT will ever bring me any value - it's the token for a "blind box card game platform" that hasn't been released yet...

@technicallyproduct

Phone: One of your apps needs updating Me: OK, update app Phone: Your device does not have enough available storage Me: OK, how big is the app? Phone: 100MB Me: OK, delete these 500MB of photos Phone: Photos deleted Me: Update app Phone: Your device does not have enough available storage GRR!! #RandomThoughts

@technicallyproduct

My reliable DOGE faucets are proving less than reliable at the moment... one withdrawal has been stuck on 'processing' for 11 days, when normally it takes two days at most. At what point should I give up and go waste my time on something else? https://go.4miner.me/meDGqKYw #Dogecoin

@technicallyproduct

Here's an interesting question... what's the biggest cryptocurrency (by market cap) that you DON'T have in your portfolio? For me, it's Cardano (ADA) - currently 5th by market cap. No particular reason, it's just that I'm more of an earner than a trader... and obvious opportunities to earn ADA have yet to present themselves to me. List of currencies by market cap: https://www.coingecko.com/en #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

I'm making progress with Nexo! At least this is better than the $0.00 it was so excited to tell me that I'd earned a couple of weeks ago. #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

Brave finally sent me my BAT from July! Not only was the payment two days later than promised, but also 50% larger than predicted. So the new 'upcoming payment' notification in Brave is no more accurate or reliable than the old 'estimated earnings'... #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

CoinMarketCap is going a bit crazy with the 'learn and earn' campaigns at the moment. I almost missed this one for Folder Protocol (FOL), which must have gone live at the same time as the CYBER one. Again it's a project with a big NFT focus (though the campaign itself pays out in FOL tokens). Check it out! https://coinmarketcap.com/earn/videos/explore-folder-protocol #Giveaways

@technicallyproduct

The very dodgy ltcminer.com website is telling me I have now accrued 30LTC (worth $5,000!). And all I have to do to start withdrawing it is buy a paid account for just 0.5LTC. Sounds like a good deal, no? Too good to be true, in fact... #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

I love Publish0x, but I have to say its 'ambassador program' is one of the least successful referral schemes for me. In total I've recruited 15 people to P0x and earned $0.09! I guess those people didn't stick around, which is a shame as there's some great content on Publish0x. https://www.publish0x.com/?a=8mepYAP2aM #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

Has anyone here tried buying NEXO with BCH (on Nexo)? I get "cannot pair with BCH". I wonder whether it's a two-step operation - first swapping BCH for say USDT, and then swapping the USDT for NEXO? #CryptoTrading

@technicallyproduct

OK, I managed to buy some NEXO tokens with my BCH (via USDT). This gives me the 'platinum' loyalty level in Nexo and a higher interest rate on all my savings there - as well as more free withdrawals per month. Thanks everyone for your help with this one! #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

Does anyone here have their own personal cryptocurrency 'rules' they try to follow? One of mine is the 'rule of thirds': * Never have more than a third of your portfolio invested in one coin or token * Never keep more than a third of your portfolio in the same wallet It's a rule of thumb for diversification/minimizing risk I guess. #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

I've got an idea for my next crypto-related article. Should I publish it on Publish0x, which I normally use? Or give Read.cash another go? I've only ever published one article on Read.cash but it sank without a trace, so I'm a bit reluctant to spend more time there for no return... #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

I entered the Cake DeFi Olympic Bake-Off promo a little later than intended, and was still waiting for my KYC to be approved when the deadline came around. Happily it looks like Cake DeFi is honouring any last-minute applications so I'm still eligible for the $50 referee bonus. Happy days! #CryptoTrading

@technicallyproduct

QR Code Challenge accepted - and completed! This is the third time I've done this now (plus one time where I missed the opportunity, but let's not talk about that...). Thanks, Noise. #NoiseCash

@technicallyproduct

Sometimes when I complete a CAPTCHA, I pretend I'm playing bingo. If I get a line across, I shout 'bingo!' I've haven't managed to get a full house yet though... #RandomThoughts

@technicallyproduct

So at least one of my DOGE faucets is still working, albeit paying out slowly! It took seven days for my latest withdrawal to go through - normally it's no more than two... https://go.4miner.me/DLqax6 #Dogecoin

@technicallyproduct

So this is weird. I've been using ltcminer.com to claim my 0.00006LTC daily. But recently my personal website has been getting these automated spam enquiries from... ltcminer.com. There's no obvious connection between the two (I'm not daft enough to use my website email and password for crypto activity, for example). Coincidence, or something more sinister? #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

Exciting times! I'm really looking forward to trying out Cake DeFi today. The deposit is BCH that I originally earned here on Noise.cash, so thank you to Noise for opening up new opportunities like this for me. #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

Celsius almost gave me a heart attack by sending me a bunch of 'New Login' emails in quick succession when I wasn't using the platform. Thought someone was stealing my crypto! It turned out the logins were from my own IP address - so all I can think is that some old emails had got stuck in the system somehow and were then released all at once. #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

I'm wondering when AMPL is going to break out again. It has been hovering between the price expansion threshold and contraction threshold for a week now. It feels like it is building up steam for a big move, especially as the crypto market is pretty bullish at the moment. Watch this space! #CryptoTrading

@technicallyproduct

I’m happy that the StormGain ‘miner’ is working properly for me again after being on a weird go-slow for the past two months. With any luck, I’ll hit 10 USDT soon and be able to resume my free trading... #CryptoTrading

@technicallyproduct

Just realised I’ve been active on Publish0x for a whole year now! In that time I’ve written 17 articles, earned a couple of hundred dollars’ worth of crypto, and won two competitions. More to the point, I’ve learned a huge amount. I would recommend it to anyone looking to broaden their crypto knowledge. https://www.publish0x.com/technically-crypto?a=8mepYAP2aM #RandomThoughts

@technicallyproduct

I still use the sMiles app to make a few BTC sats from just walking around (which I would do anyway). It’s a shame that earnings are currently capped at 21 sats a day though, as I put in quite a few steps yesterday! https://www.smilesbitcoin.com/ and feel free to use my code: jamesdanielclark176 #Giveaway

@technicallyproduct

Slightly disappointed that Publish0x users have voted to receive FARM as a tipping token rather than iFARM. Personally, I would have preferred to keep receiving iFARM as it is an interest-bearing token. Though I think Publish0x could have done a better job explaining exactly how iFARM works as there seemed to be some confusion... #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

CoinMarketCap has very sensibly linked its airdrops with its Diamonds rewards scheme. Now you can get 10 extra Diamonds for taking part in an airdrop. I’m not sure yet if this is a one-time-only offer or if you can get 10 Diamonds for every airdrop... https://coinmarketcap.com/account/my-diamonds/ #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

Sometimes when I get a payout from Noise, it comes through as two separate payments - one very small, and one much larger. I don’t mind of course, but it was very surprising the first time it happened! Anyone else experience this? #NoiseCashLover

@technicallyproduct

So I earned my $3 of $FET from the latest Coinbase Earn campaign today (https://www.coinbase.com/rewards). Actually Fetch.ai - a blockchain-based AI protocol - sounds rather interesting, and I'd like to spend more time looking into it. Especially as there's a reward pool available for taking part in the testnet! https://docs.fetch.ai/ #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

Brilliant - my 'Olympic Box' on BetFury has just reached fulfillment. Effectively I've turned 0.01BNB into 0.02BNB over 30 days. Hope we get some more boxes soon! Incidentally, I don't like to say I've 'withdrawn' the BNB (despite having clicked the the big red 'WITHDRAW' button) because it's still residing on BetFury's platform... #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

Great, I now qualify for the 1X 'sweet HODL! bonus' on Getzen.cash for holding 0.005 ZEN (around $0.37)! It might take me a while though to get to the 1.1X bonus just from using the faucet. Perhaps I should bite the bullet and buy myself a little ZEN... #Faucet

@technicallyproduct

I've just reminded myself why I've never withdrawn my profits from StormGain. The withdrawal fee for BCH is quite small, at 0.00039 BCH plus 0.1% - but the minimum withdrawal amount is 0.11BCH ($75 at current prices). My profit from the free trades is currently around half that. I'm almost tempted to deposit enough BCH into StormGain to push me up to the minimum, then withdraw the whole lot in one go. Stupid idea? #CryptoTrading

@technicallyproduct

OK, that's me signed up for DappRadar. I've also entered the Aavegotchi ($GHST) airdrop. Possibly the least stressful airdrop I've ever entered! Thanks to @KamHus for pointing me to this one :) https://dappradar.com/hub/airdrops #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

Boo, I didn't receive a score of 100% on the CoinMarketCap Earn quiz for Tokocrypto (I've removed my personal details from the screenshot for obvious reasons). I am very careful when I take part in these campaigns, making sure I read and double-check everything - so it just goes to show that no one is perfect. It would be nice if CoinMarketCap told me exactly what I got wrong though... #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

Happy to spot that I've earned my second CEL in Celsius - partly as interest on BCH from Noise.cash. It's still not enough to tip me into the 'bronze' loyalty status but I'm sure I'll get there. Especially as I'm earning CEL on my CEL too! #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

OK, I've just entered the DappRadar airdrop to win a share of $400 worth of SuperRare RARE. This time round, because I was already registered on DappRadar, it took me just five seconds to enter! https://dappradar.com/hub/airdrops #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

So yesterday I wrote about how BCHA had rebranded itself as XEC eCash... today it's the only green in my portfolio - up 12.6% in 24 hours! I didn't realise I had that sort of power #CryptoTrading

@technicallyproduct

So iFARM gets a (temporary) reprieve on Publish0x. It's great that P0x pays all gas fees for its users, but it does mean that payouts from the platform can get delayed like this when gas fees are particularly high. #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

So my portfolio got up to 96% of its ATH (set in May) but has now fallen back to 91%. Given that the price of BCH exceeded $1,500 in May and is currently not much over $600, I don't think I'm doing too badly... #CryptoTrading

@technicallyproduct

StormGain is currently offering a 5% bonus on deposits until the end of August. As is usually the case with StormGain, the bonus cannot be directly withdrawn but can be traded (and then you can withdraw any profits). Sadly I don't have a screengrab to share with you - it was a notification that flashed up in-app then disappeared forever as soon as I accepted it... https://app.stormgain.com/friend/BNS17156338 #CryptoTrading

@technicallyproduct

Some really huge price movements in my portfolio over the last 24 hours, both positive AND negative: SOL: +19.12% CELO: +17.44% BFG: -16.14% SAND: -16.35% What is going on?! I can't keep up... #CryptoTrading

@technicallyproduct

Kate Rouch has just become the new CMO of Coinbase after 11 years at Facebook. She draws some very interesting parallels between Facebook then and Coinbase now: "Coinbase is almost exactly the size Facebook was when I joined. It too is led by a visionary founder. In a new space. With a bold mission and huge potential to fundamentally change the world." #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

Wow, eCash (XEC) has taken off like a rocket AGAIN. It's the new name for Bitcoin Cash ABC, which itself came about when the Bitcoin Cash blockchain forked (split in two) last year. So I suspect a lot of long-standing BCH holders also (like me) have some XEC. Happy days! #CryptoTrading

@technicallyproduct

Today I'm looking at 'fixed term' savings in Nexo. Locking your BCH for a month gives you an additional 1% of interest (so 8% instead of 7%, paid in NEXO). I'm testing it out with a fairly small amount to start with! #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

I just read a great defence of Elon Musk by Douglas Coupland (a favourite writer of mine). I especially liked this bit: "I suspect that [Musk] doesn’t have a stand on crypto at all – my guess is that he sees cryptocurrencies as being interesting simply because they exist at all, like Klein bottles or those Japanese Kit-Kats in flavours such as pumpkin or green tea."…

@technicallyproduct

Based in the UK? Looking to try out a custodial wallet from a British company with full FCA authorisation? Then maybe look at Ziglu. They also have a bank holiday offer on today - sign up and make your first crypto purchase (could be just £1 of BCH) to get £10 sterling in-app. https://invite.ziglu.io/1e68828d #UnitedKingdom

@technicallyproduct

Amazingly, BAT has been dethroned as the #3 crypto in my portfolio. SAND (which I originally got from CoinMarketCap Earn) has pushed it into fourth place! This crypto is having a great run, up 1300% in a year. The fact that Binance is giving me 25% APY from locked staking isn't hurting either... #CryptoTrading

@technicallyproduct

I'm very happy (and somewhat surprised) to have 2,500 followers here on Noise.cash! And I can't believe that the platform isn't even a year old yet. Excited to see what the future brings us... #NoiseCashLover

@technicallyproduct

The market cap of AMPL is at its lowest in a year. Seems like a good time to buy - I'd expect a run of positive rebases any time now as the price is hovering just under a dollar. Do I need to say this isn't financial advice? Because it looks like financial advice to me! #CryptoTrading

@technicallyproduct

Woah, that's a big jump in the size of the GoodDollar daily claim! On the one hand that's great, on the other hand I'm not sure you'd want to rely on a Universal Basic Income with such massive and unpredictable swings... One day you can't afford to eat, the next day it's lobster thermidor for breakfast https://wallet.gooddollar.org?inviteCode=43rTBGTS8B #Cryptocurrency

@technicallyproduct

Wahoo, my portfolio has hit a new ATH! It's now worth more than it was back in May, when the price of BCH shot up above $1500. Really it's a lucky combo of SOL, SAND and now XYO all doing brilliantly at the same time... along with my BCH earnings from Noise.cash, of course. #Cryptocurrency
