I Just Powered Up ~81,000 Steem. That's Cool. You're Cool. Cool.
That's me and my dad. We were extremely poor, living off of charity. Welfare coupled with mental illness and alcoholism was the household theme of my pre-adult life. Not a fantastic combination. Living in inner city Detroit, coming from rural Appalachian coal fields' dying, secluded, depressed economy, trying to figure life out. It didn't work out well, and I'd like to change that sort of timeline for as many people as I can. This is another reason that I believe that we're doing work for the greater good of humanity by participating and growing projects such as this. This is the future. This is a revolution. This is going to help people.
This is just a one off post to announce that I just powered up my 81k liquid Steem.
Love y'all!
I'm sure soon you will be very happy you did, so many things coming up for steem this year. There is no way we end 2017 under $1.
$1 will be laughable in the future, IMHO.
There is so much conviction in this comment. I beleive you.
Nice, made some $imoleons.
Furr-real :D
4-real.
Congratulations mate. So good to see people doing well and you obviously deserve it.
Thanks, dude! Much appreciated. Enjoy the $1.24 haha, spread it around!
well done mate for your power up! I am sorry about your pre-adult life... we can choose our future life but not our family or where to born. If you could afford to pay 81k steemit I suppose your life changed in a good way as I cannot either think to reach all that money working from now till 10 years
Thanks, man! And no worries, we're all dealt a hand and I dealt with mine, it's the same for anyone else.
I've just been a die-hard computer nerd my entire life, starting with old IBM one-piecers and Tandy's my dad got out of dumpsters. They always fascinated the absolute shit out of me and I couldn't ever get enough. Then the internet comes into play a bit after I figured out how to dial into BBS' and then it was straight up game over, I was hooked. All of that led to "I WANT TO HACK THE WORLD THIS IS AWESOME," to reading endlessly, to participating in communities in IRC and forums, to starting several. That led to distributed computing in the late 90s to early 00's and onward, then that let to decentralization, and then that led to discovering the idea of Bitcoin, then that came into existence and I stuck with that as it was fascinating, never left that space and here I am with a decent crypto stake, but living as if it doesn't exist. The future is insane. I love it.
of course mate feel free to follow me and occasionally up vote my posts if you want! Will help me growing up too without knowing anything about IT stuff LOL
Certainly :-). That's the beauty of this platform, it obfuscates a lot of the need to be very technical and allows laymen to interact with the blockchain!
heheheh true :D
very nice explanation! I love internet but I am not good enough to understand how to hack or to understand something more than the normal open browser and search stuff.
for example I would like to find the wpa password of my neighbour as I don't have yet internet so for few days I am using my phone as router and it sucks.
Any good advice is welcome hahaha
Well, if you're trying to bust WPA of any variant, I don't think that you're going to have much luck. You need linux (preferably), a WLAN card that can be switched to monitor mode, a massive rainbow table, some experience with the linux command line, and a lot of luck that comes in the form of your neighbor having a weak passphrase. Now if it was WEP, which you will very rarely encounter in the wild these days, then that's an entirely other story since WEP is completely broken.
Have you thought about asking your neighbor for access while offering to toss a few bucks a month?
I was thinking to do it. But being moved in this house since few days I feel a bit shy asking him. By the way I had the engineer coming last week to set up my internet access but he didn't turn up.
I had to book another appointment that will be next Friday.
Talking about the WEP and WPA yes I read several posts and how "easier" could be access by aircrack-ng but I have a mac and it is hard to get linux etc etc.. so never mind :) I wanted to know if you were aware of any shortcut.
Thank you for your prompt message :) and I hope to see you between my followers... as you should know how someone could feel not being a whale as we registered in Steemit in the same time last year
Mac OS = Unix pretty much. Did you know that?! Pretty cool haha.
Well, I'm here to stay so you'll certainly be seeing more of me!
Ehhehe i wrote to you as well in steemit chat! Have a look mate
Will do!
that's cool you're cool :d
I heard that you were cool too :-O.
You are the coolest :D Mr Power Up
Nay!
Who is da coolest then?
Well it certainly isn't the US Government, the cops, or any of those people. It might be you?
it's @steemitqa and
Lucky you, im surviving with my 100 steem.
Well in a minute when I upvote you, you might have yourself 102 Steem! Hang in there, good things come with patience and effort.
Keep doing what your doing. And do even better next year! I will follow and keep up on your adventures. Best of luck.
Thanks! I have no intention of stopping and hopefully you don't either. SPREAD THE WORD.
So much love <3 Bright Blessings & Reiki Hugs!!
And it is reciprocated! Thank you very much!
resteemed
Thanks :-).
GOOD news!
Hope so! I think it is as well, however.
