Hello all,

In my next article, I take a look at some of the current and future potential uses of blockchains and why people see them as being revolutionary...

Comments and questions welcome 

My latest article takes a look at the current state of Bitcoin fees, what they are, how the market drives them and how you can calculate the optimal fee

Haha, perhaps not the best wording on my part... just that I will actually start sharing my content on social media, which I'm not doing right now 

You both are completely correct.

Initially, I'm starting with the existing crypto communities, specifically those who are relatively new to them.

Once I've built up a reasonable audience, and my SEO game is on point, I'll start to venture out into more traditional communities, social media etc.

I want to have a reasonable base of content before I start to aggressively pursue that though.

I am open to any any all suggestions you might have though, so please do share  

Great to hear, thank you. I do hope it's helpful, that is after all why I'm doing it.

Hi ETFbitcoin, thanks for taking the time to give some great feedback.

1. I have been explicit about owning the private keys, see the bottom of this article. However, taking a look at my wallet post, you are right I haven't gone into enough detail, so I'll edit that now.
2. Fair point, I'll update
3. Yes this is definitely on my to do list. You just bumped it up a few places
4. Completely agree re illustrations. I've had a few people get in touch offering to contribute graphic design and I'm looking to take them up on it soon.

Thanks!

Thanks Skyline - completely agree re SEO and I've been trying to actively manage it. The site has only been up for a couple of weeks, but seems to be gaining traction. I will keep on top of it.

Great to have you as a reader Ethan  

Just posted a new post... "Interesting facts about Bitcoin"

Hopefully entertaining for some of you 

Thanks Harold - glad you found some value in it 

Thanks for the feedback MadGamer.

Yes, I've been focusing on SEO and all the pages are tuned, but it's going to take some time to build a presence.

You're quite right re wallets, I am planning to have a dedicated post on hardware wallets as I think the topic deserves it.

I'll expand the mobile section to include Mycellium.

I'm going to have a separate topic on multi currency wallets once I cover altcoins.

All great comments, thank you!

Hi All,

I've been in the crypto currency space for years and it's become one of my main passions.

So much so that I've spent the last few years sucking up as much knowledge as I could.

I've decided that it's about time I give some of that back to the community, if nothing else it's a great way for me to solidify my thoughts.

My aim is to write high quality posts which add value. Right now, I've started at the beginning, so the focus is for people new to the space, but I'll be going on a journey through a wide range of topics over time.

You can find my articles over at Xexr.com along with a contents listing here.

Here are a few of my favourites though to wet your appetite:

Series 1: How does Bitcoin work?

This series covers how addresses work using public key cryptography, what the blockchain is, and finally how mining works and incentivises the system.

Series 2: Getting started with Bitcoin

This series looks at how to get started using bitcoin. This includes what a wallet is and the different types available, how you can get hold of bitcoin, what the best ways are to buy, and finally a simple tutorial to setting up a mobile wallet

I'd love to get some readers and feedback.

Thanks all

Feeling decidedly poorer now my 63m alpha nem have evaporated! Anyone care to share some beta nem to make me feel better?

Would not want to be him tomorrow...

Is that date accurate? Was starting to think this would never release. Looking forward to it!

I have my popcorn and I'm ready for the fireworks  

Never a dull day in Bitcoinland...

And this appears to be automatically reflected on BTER - hence the buy price there is c. 125. So in theory it only makes sense to buy on BTER as the AE price change is manual and therefore slower?

Slightly confused. So the current official price on the NXTAE is 127.

Is this going to change in the coming hours days? Am I right in thinking that this will only increase in time as this is how the early buyer discount is applied?

What about underlying movements in the value of btc & nxt. If nxt massively increases in price (which it seems to be doing), does this impact the token price on the ae?

Thanks

I also received a small amount to one of my addresses.

What do you mean by fishing? How can this benefit them?

In my experience, no. Any transfers I sent through on a Friday or over the weekend have not been processed until the following week.

I am up and running with the new build and have access to the address I posted on page one of blockchain reset thread.

However - no NEM? Looks like I wasn't included in the nemesis block after all?
