The content of this blog is exclusively to do with online privacy/security, cryptography and cryptocurrency: Understanding it, investing in it, mining it (in groups/crowds), developing/programming it, the social problems it aims to solve and the various ways to make more of it (or not, as various losses and failures happen). Let's get away from banksters, Capitalists and fiat, to an unbanked anarcho-syndicalist commune. || Banner image: Blogger's own.

Today, I stumbled across an article on Analytics Insight about why people are leaving Ethereum, Dogecoin and Shiba Inu for Bitgert and Centcex. TL;DR: The price of gas is too high and it needs to come down. Various projects are trying to find solutio...

From my own experience of Faucets, no, they are not worth the time and energy (even if you're hitting multiple faucets per day). Most of them pay out about $0.001 per hit, often once per hour. Even the so-called "high-earning" ones pay out about $0.0...

I urgently need fiat cash in my bank account. I thought what I'd do is sell some of my crypto or move it into a crypto-bank that provides a crypto-backed VISA credit card, since my portfolio still worth a few hundred dollars. (It's definitely not the...

It always inspires me when one of my favourite authors (one whose opinion and writings I respect) follows me on antisocial media and/or a writing site. I take it as an endorsement that I'm doing something right. Yesterday, that happened on Pub0x. (Si...

Since I have recently updated both the banner and the logo for this blog (and have some admittedly rather basic graphic design skills), I thought I'd try my hand at creating NFTs ("those blockchain JPGs", as somebody termed them). It turns out that t...

I think I've found a way to make a decent/worthwhile amount of Crypto on a daily basis, but there are some caveats (as there invariably are with most technologies created to solve other problems). This morning, I signed up to GoodDollar. It allegedly...

For a while, I've had the idea of creating my own cryptocurrencies (specifically, tokens on existing networks, since it's easier to do this than create coins with their own blockchains). Since there are tens of thousands of coins and tokens in ex...

I've seen a number of authors post about their monthly earnings on various crypto sites. Personally, posting such data isn't something that interests me (and I'm far too disorganised to keep track), despite how much I obsessively check how many sats...

For context, the below is my response to some technophobe asshat who thought he was my friend and could not only get away with spreading FUD, but pick a fight with me over it. (His username references semiprecious stones and a raptor favoured by the...

In the world of crypto, it's not uncommon to see the phrase "to the moon", usually expressed in a sort of hopeful, wistful tone of zealous enthusiasm. What I wonder, though, is at what point can a cryptocurrency be considered to have reached the moon...
