Found out today that they are FINALLY repaving the shifter kart course that we autocross at. There was a lot of talk of dropping the venue from our schedule because of how rough it was getting, so good to see it get a new lease on life

If the past 48 hours are any indication, I should be generating a bit coin per month for doing less than I do with sweepstakes/pch. That means actual real money for not doing much of anything. I love the internet sometimes.

That's impressive. It's been a while since I looked at bitcoin mining. I thought mining was almost impossible at this point, I'd be curious to hear more about your setup.

Not even mining anymore. Exploiting faucets.

I know I sound like an old timer saying this, but 10 years ago when bitcoin was fresh on the scene, faucets used to pay in .1 bitcoin. Now they pay in .0000001 btc aka a satoshi. But faucets have evolved from "click for coin" and basic games to include offer walls, video watching, etc. My spare computer is watching videos 24/7 now, earning 26k satoshi a day, plus doing offer walls which are surveys, more ad videos, slideshows, things like that. Plus a few phone apps that pay a few hundred every half hour. I've averaged 150k satoshi every day since Friday. Doesn't sound like much when it takes 100 million satoshi to make a whole bitcoin, but it adds up pretty quick.

Referrals have been nice too, gaining 10 percent of everything people I refer to the site gain. So my mom who loves playing free online slots and doing surveys has been contributing a nice chunk as well. I'll text you my referral link, if anyone else wants it, pm me. Not sure how our hosts feel about referral links on the forum so I won't post it publicly.

I'm seriously considering setting up my own faucet because ad revenue from them beats the hell out of ad revenue from Amazon and adsense. And can be done for free pretty much instantly thanks to the main faucet hub I belong to. I'll probably spend my free time this week setting up a referral pool then making the jump to a small faucet of my own.

Should be about 2 weeks before I can join in on the ponzi schemes again, they're getting rather lucrative these days. High risk, higher reward. The goal is enough to get back into the casino games again. I've always done well with online gambling, and since it's bitcoin it's not forbidden in PA.

This all sounds vaguely criminal to me.

It's called "perk farming" (or "phone farming") and it's not illegal...yet. I've seriously looked into it but I got the impression that between the payouts getting stingy and improved detection of virtual machines and "farming rigs" that I'd missed the bus by the time I learned about it. I should probably look into it again, 1BTC/mo is serious money for me.

I'm going to go at current rate for a month, and then I'll report back with total earnings. And with what works and what doesn't.

Honestly when I first saw the phone faucets, I almost emailed you cause I think I remember you programming apps before. But seeing how stupidly easy it is to setup a personal faucet, I'm going to be digging into advertising and what it takes to SEO rank sites in Google these days.

The main hub site shows all of the faucets on their network and what their monthly payouts have been, along with user base numbers. Between link sharing, and some good referral campaigns, it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility to make a couple coins a month almost fully automated.

I got to teach my oldest, 13 year old boy, how to solder. Unfortunately he had to learn because he left his new gaming headphones where his pet rabbit could get to them. On the upside I don't think he will make that mistake again.

My new job just isn't a good fit, thankfully my old boss called and said that my replacement failed their background check.

My old schedule wasn't available, but the new schedule works better for me and it comes with a small raise.

Sometimes it feels like things line up.

I discovered that our Explorer (2016, V6, 2WD) is pretty adept in the snow yesterday while getting my family down from the Wuksachi Lodge (7,200’) in the Sequoia National Forest.

Admittedly, the weather conditions pushed me out of my comfort zone but the Ford gracefully managed everything asked of it.

For my birthday, NAPA delivered me some stuff I had on order since last week, I got the e-mail notice that Home Depot shipped my garage's new lights... and then the UPS man delivered them in the morning. Then at 10:30 I got a call from the rearend place that they were done straightening my 9" housing, and "it was a real pain! Hundred bucks."

Now I just have to figure out how to get back down to Massillon (roughly 60mi) in the evening, when I work about two rush hour traffic jams away. That's just details at this point.
