Crypto Revolution

Posted on by JZA

This year has been great so far for Bitcoin, our group Bitcuners have kept on with the DASH proposal and got it succesfully renewed for another 3 months. The price of DASH went sky high and our podcast has been picking up more viewers.

I hope my writting has been better lately because now I am an editor of a popular Bitcoin news site. Doing work for the news site has eat a lot of my blogging time, however, the reward of having such a great platform on a topic I love, has got me so happy.

Our cryptocurrency group has grown well beyond it’s infrastructure (space) and we should be looking for a larger platform. We have been pushing our group on social networks such as FB and Youtube and we would be able to gain more viewers.

Hope we can keep growing into events and accesibility for everyone in the market. Here are some videos that we were able to shoot during the meetup, people enjoying their time and also interacting and learning.

Crypto-tipping platforms

Posted on by JZA

So I have been playing with the crypto tipping platforms. I decided that bitcoin even with its satoshis is too damn expensive to play with it. So I jump on the Doge rocket. I found that fees for Doge are way more affordable, and sign up to a bunch of Doge. Now, I dont really use Reddit, so I focus more on platforms I knew about. First one was #Twitter then #Facebook I am sure there won’t be much instagram or pinterest but who knows.
Meanwhile I decided to sign up for two bots that came fast into the suggested contacts. One is @DogetipBot and the other is @Tipdoge. The first one seemed a bit too corporate, I mean, I was presented with a dashboard and a high level search engine, however it was confusing since there was no documentation.
Actually none of the bots had great documentation, but at least with the 2nd one it was easier to handle. Specially when the commands are only 3.

  • Balance
  • Widthraw
  • Tip
  • Deposit

Since I didn’t had an account Balance was the first one with an expected message, 0 Balance. But when I put widthraw I was faced with a new DOGE wallet. Which allowed me to send some Doge’s from my Cryptsy account. Cryptsy is an altcoin trading platform which also give you wallets for all the altcoins you have purchased.

So once I tip off my new wallet I was ready to spread the Doges. First one didn’t work, I tried to put the ‘D’ on the number, and it seems that it kept ignoring the message. Once I took it off I was favorite by the bot which meant it was a good thing. In the end I was able to do have this:

The Dodge bot has give me many replies and now I am able to tip people on twitter for the Lolz. Is a great way to say thanks.

The next bot would be on Facebook, and I already found one. Is only a matter of learing how to use it.  Will keep posted.
