I finally got this old thing up and running again the other night. It's a 10 year old tower that I retired about 4 years ago. I've pulled it apart, blasted it with air, and added every old hard drive with at least 100GB of storage I could find in ant...

I've been watching the markets a lot lately as I'm sure many others here have. I try to sift through the mess of FUD and rampant speculation and shilling of coins that seems to have become the standard fare for all things crypto. It's not easy... eve...

I get asked it often in some of the chat channels I'm in and on social media. How can I get cryptocurrency X out of my wallet Y into my bank account?  This is one of the things that anyone who has dipped into the cryptoverse has had to deal with. Unf...

Gas.... how to get utterly destroyed by it as a newbie.

We all hate it. Don't pretend it is what it is. You hate it too. Even the whales do though they pretend they don't notice.... I know I do. It makes ethereum less attractive and the whole DeFi ecosystem less accessible and less friendly to new users a...
