I have been trying Nicehash for about 5 days (only mining at night when I'm sleeping). I have only got into crytpocurrency about 10 days ago. Since I did not want to set up an expensive rig to try mining, or deal with complicated software, I went with Nicehash just to get my feet wet. I also use browser mining at the same time from here https://freebitco.in/?r=8857732 (I have mine set to 90% and 2 threads) and that site uses your browser and CPU, where Nicehash uses my GPU right now. So when I have both going at night I make about 80 cents per day or so. Nothing great that's for sure, but at least I am getting my feet wet and learning at the same time.

Here is the image to my Nicehash dashboard showing the current amount mined and daily projection. Not sure why the image won't show when I hosted it on my web hosting and then put the url in between the

Wow, I have been following the Datum launch and never even realized this. That is pretty good news for a variety of reasons. Where did you find that information? Thanks!

Hah! Thanks for all the replies. I really don't remember signing up for that airdrop though. I guess I must have lol. My first coins/tokens ever! Wheeeee! Now hopefully some of these other projects I have been following will come through. The Datum project looks very good. Here is a friend invite link they gave me https://wn.nr/EZFbMK , you can use it to get about 500 free Datum if you do the steps they ask. Now that one looks pretty damn cool, they even had William Shatner tweet about the project yesterday. Hopefully the coins will turn out to be worth something. Funny thing about the MSC coin was I really did think it was the mastercard coin at first. Lol.

 

The contract idea seems very interesting. Just went through the whole website. Wish you all the best of luck!

Followed you on twitter, shared your website on my page, filled out the google docs with my username and link to my sharing.

Hey there. So I am a newbie and have been getting into cryptocurrency for about 2 weeks or so. I signed up for quite a few airdrops, but have yet to get any tokens from anywhere. So I checked myetherwallet earlier and saw this:



So out of curiosity I started googling MSC coin.. I saw that it is (or was...) worth about $3.00 usd, but when actually going to any exchanges, including Poloniex, Bittrex and YoBit, I can't find anything. Then I did a little more research and see that the project was from around 2014 or so.

Is this the Mastercoin?
Is this the Masoncoin?

How do I know?

I had to upload a custom token for the first time, which I also had to google to figure it out...and by attaching the token's contract address to the token's symbol, myetherwallet was able to pull it from etherscan.io and add the 200 MSC to myetherwallet balance.

- Is there any advice on this for new people like myself? Do tokens usually have to be added via the custom token option for myetherwallet (primarily from airdrops?)...
- DOES ANYONE ACTUALLY HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS TOKEN?

Thanks,
Anthony

HCP,

I just got home and saw your reply. Thanks for the heads up with the settings, I changed it and can see how that could be a problem. I changed it on the real wallet as well. I was wondering what mBTC meant! I also used Transaction ID to see what the details were as you suggested. It only took a few minutes after receiving the coins for it to show "confirmed".

I did receive the 1.11111111, so I know it's working for sure!
THANKS AGAIN 

Woohoo it works! I only had trouble because the dash before "testnet" is actually 2 dashes, when I put in 1dash it wouldn't start. I went to the first link you provided and bam, instantly received 1100 coins. It says "unconfirmed" though and I am wondering what that means?

The testnet address I have is:

mkfcEuyei9cNGm6Qdbh84JAmM99BQgCUHq

THANKS AGAIN!

Wow thanks for the great reply! Very helpful information!
Let me get working on this and see if I can get it set up and working properly.
If I figure it out I will drop my address in here.

THANKS A LOT!

Hi there BEEZCOIN. I was just wondering how to check if I was included in the airdrop. It was the first one I signed up for since getting into cryptocurrency and I even wrote a long message in the box on your site explaining who I am, what I do, and asking if you possibly needed any help. I did sign up for you posted it was closed. Would I have received an email? I did check myetherwallet, but I still have 0 balance for all my tokens. I did notice I don't see your coin listed there. Was I supposed to create a custom token and name it BEEZ coin in order for new tokens to be deposited? Sorry for all the questions, but maybe it will help more than just myself. I'm, hoping on not the only complete newbie here.

THANKS!

Hello Zlerp,

I have been building sites for over 10 years. Here are just a few things to consider:

- Get a one page theme which supports content navigation through a menu, but shoots a reader to the part of the page they click the menu button for.
- Use <anchor> tags to create navigation on the top of the site that shoots reads down to your anchored content.
- Add a few affiliate banners in between the content so you don't have to rely on donations for all your income from the site.
- Consider using Google adsense throughout the content (for the above recommendation).

Best of luck!

Hey there everyone. Figured I would properly introduce myself since I'm going to try and start my journey into the world of cryptocurrency. First of all, I remember watching a news cast about bitcoin back when it was around $30, then jumped to $100 and crashed back to around $30 again. I was like whoa...this stuff used to be worth a dime? I knew at that point that bitcoin was not going anywhere but slowly up. And that sparked my first interest into bitcoin. I chose the user name "99th" here because I feel like I'm pretty much last to the party at this point. I would still like to join in of course and that is why I am here and writing this post.

A couple years back I remembered that news story and started hearing more about bitcoin on social media and in the news on a consistent basis. I ended up watching a documentary on bitcoin titled "The rise of bitcoin" a few years and was blown away by what I was watching. This thing that was once an idea, then a real piece of technology, was now becoming a major force in the economic world. Bitcoin was running across industries, being used for many different things, and the public was starting to embrace the idea on a larger scale. The night that bitcoin hit 1k was a pretty monumental moment in the history of mankind. This proved, after the US gave it the green light, that not only was bitcoin never going to go away, but that other cryptocurrencies now had a foundation to work from. I got excited by the whole thing and really couldn't believe that I had waited so long to join the party.

So I had made a plan to start reading and learning as much as I could. I started watching videos and podcasts and reading magazines and blogs. A couple months later and my world came to a grinding halt. I was told I had cancer and emphysema and that I would need surgery immediately. I am only 36, so for me, this was all pretty scary. I never imagined getting so sick so quickly, but then there it was staring me in the face. So I stopped thinking about bitcoin, and everything else for that matter, and started focusing on my health. I now have a 13 inch scar from my Adam's Apple to my right ear and have gone through 3 surgeries. I recently moved from Boston to Las Vegas because I had a very hard time living there due to the cost of living. So I have been out here in Vegas now for about 6 months and back going to the doctors all the time. It's been about 2 months since I have been sick again and going to the doctors a few times a week.

About 2 weeks ago something hit me...BITCOIN and CRYPTOCURRENCY! I can't even believe it's been so long since I have been able to actually get into this.

Now, with nothing but time on my hands and basically a very tiny fixed income, I have been trying to figure out the best ways to get involved in the current marketplace. I do have a 5 year education from UMASS and I majored in Marketing and Minored in Management. I also can build WordPress websites (have been doing it for about 10 years) and I'm a good graphic designer. I have created web content (including articles and videos) for many different companies over the years. I do have experience with social media marketing and SEO as well. I would be very happy to do work for anyone from this community to earn some bitcoin, but that I suppose will be for another thread. Although I am limited to working at a computer, I am pretty good with one. That being said, I am just trying to figure out how to get into bitcoin and cryptocurrency even at a starting level. Here is what I have done and have been doing:

- I have bookmarked a ton of bitcoin related websites (bitcointalk.org is 1st on the row since I have realized this is where I will learn the most).

- I looked into faucets, but the withdrawal usually has a minimum limit which by my calculations will take a month to withdraw about a dollar USD at best (freebitco.in is the one I use the most).

- I made an account at YoBit so I could look at the market and study it and try and begin understanding it better. I also got suckered into their free coins page and spent like 5 hours clicking those damn buttons to wind up with a bunch of worthless coins not even worth 1/100th of a penny. I now know better, but still use YoBit to look at the market.

- I looked up mining for a couple days, and even though I already knew quite a bit, I never really tried to mine myself. I have a good computer with a NVIDIA 1050ti so I have been trying NiceHash, but I only earn like 60-75 cents a day and it eats up my computer's resources so I can't do a whole lot while it's mining. Not really worth it. I even tried the new browser mining available at freebitco.in, but that makes like 10 cents a day at max settings for me...horrible. SO yeah, as I figured, unless I want to spend thousands on the right hardware (which I don't currently have), mining seems to be out of the question. I do realize sites like Genesis Mining and a few others let you pay for other people's hardware to mine for you, but again, the good plans are all over $1000.

- I have been looking into working as a freelancer for bitcoin payments and I came across xbtfreelancer which seems pretty legit. Bitgigs also seems legit, but has way, way, more people looking for work than people looking for work to be done. I also noticed there were boards here about doing this, but I am not yet able to post to this boards. Any thoughts on the best place to do this would be greatly appreciated.

- I learned about airdrops the other day and found a cool site called airdropalert.com and that has been helping me to see what I can actually get in on. I tried so far to sign up for 5 airdrops, but have yet to actually get anything in my wallet. Oh I use myetherwallet because I read that I can accept most new tokens that come from airdrops...does that sound correct?

- Speaking of wallets, so yes, I have a myetherwallet, a electrum, and a exodus. I am still not completely sure about the differences, but I think I am figuring it out. I literally have 0 balances in all 3 of my wallets, so I'm not even sure if they work, or if I am using the address wrong etc...I am pretty good with technology so my guess is that I just have yet to get any from anywhere I am using the wallets. For the faucets I still don't have even close to enough to withdraw. I still haven't received an airdrop so I just don't know if it works yet. Any help with this would be amazing. Anyone know of a place so you can check to see if your wallets work?

- I have obviously also come across many referral links and pages within all the websites I have come across. I have a few of my own from the sites I signed up to. I will try and figure out a good way to get them out into a visible place that can not only get me some referrals, but possibly help some noobies like myself with the bonuses they provide. Any tips on this are greatly appreciated.

So that about sums up my experience up to this point. Sorry for the long post, but it is not only an introduction, but also a good idea of where I stand, what I am trying to do, some things I have questions still about, etc. I purposely didn't use any links or do anything else that the community here may disprove of. Once I get a better idea of this forum and become a more active part of this community I will feel more comfortable asking directly for help.

THANKS FOR READING I KNOW IT WAS LONG!

Hello. I am new to this, just like the thread author. I noticed I don't have the ability to actually post a new topic..I thought I did, but it looks to have disappeared. I do have some technical skills including writing, web design, graphic design, social media marketing, SEO, etc... I would love to be able to post my services on here and work for some bitcoin since I just got into this about a week ago and still have yet to find a legitimate way to earn some coin. I did try and get into a few airdrops today after reading about them on here, but I'm not sure if I will actually get anything out of them worth anything. I really would like to do some work and make some bitcoin. Please help!

Thanks,
Anthony

The project itself sounds really good. This could really help people. I can also provide some help if needed. I am new to this community and cryptocurrency, but I do have over a decade of web development and graphic design experience. This is actually the first time I have posted on here. I just found this thread and realized what an "airdrop" is so now, hopefully, I can get my first cryptocurrency and begin being a part of this whole movement. I may be a little late to the party, but I would still love to join! Send me a PM if you could use any of my services. I am always happy to help someone who is trying to help others.
