WTF IS THIS? – How to write like a pro

FROT December 1, 2020

I was looking for a draft of a post that I wrote ages ago, but I found this gem instead. I’m not sure what I was up to, but it’s too good to waste! How to write like a pro For some months I’ve been trying to get hold of a new book that a […]

CHECKING OUT THE COMPETITON

FROT November 30, 2020

Although I’m committed to the Hive platform , I like to keep an eye on the competition – other sites that offer payment for posting. So occasionally I sign up on one, and have a look. But although some people say Hive sucks, I always end up thinking, “OK nothing to worry about here” Yesterday […]

TAKING A HUGE GAMBLE ON HIVE

FROT November 28, 2020

Back in August 2016 I started out on Steemit as @sift666 because some prick had already taken the name @sift so I added 666 on the end hoping to sound all heavy and satanic, but it was like arriving first at a party and having nobody to talk to, and then being asked to go […]

There has been a lot of excitement over Bitcoin recently. In the past week it has gone up 15% and that is great. But last night I was looking at my portfolio on Coingecko and realised that eight of the 10 alt-coins I’m holding have gone up more than Bitcoin in the past seven days. […]

Back at the start of 2017 I had a raging desire to buy some of these new crypto things and become filthy rich. As a newb trying to buy cryptos on an exchange was like the wild west. The websites sucked, the service was terrible, and the fees were high. And on top of all […]

WHY ON EARTH AM I USING FOUR HIVE ACCOUNTS?

FROT November 13, 2020

It’s becoming more common for people to openly use multiple accounts now, especially with new front ends like Leofinance. But back in Steemian times it was a dark secret, and while it was common practice, they were not often spoken of. There was so much flagging and shady voting going on, that multiple secret accounts […]

WHAT SORT OF GIMP ARE YOU?

FROT November 12, 2020

Some gimps like to lurk in the basement wearing leather masks and rubber bondage suits. It used to be considered a deranged perversion to wear a mask, but now it is “the new normal” Meanwhile for a lot of geeky people, gimp just means “graphical image manipulation program” Personally I am into doing computer art […]
