      "body": "# What Happens In Vegas...\n#\n\nNow, some of you may have their reservations about gambling. While the rest may have no feelings at all. But for those who it makes uncomfortable, it mostly comes down to how it's defined. Whatever their personal definitions though, it necessarily includes some form of *investment* and some amount of *risk*.\n\nIn our world, it's safe to assume, that those who take their chances on the slot machine are viewed in a much darker light than those who take theirs in the stock or securities market. \n\nHowever, dealing with multiple currencies is indeed a gamble. Can it truly be said to be any different from the above examples? It includes an investment (electrical and equipment costs) and is tempered by risk. Dynamic exchange rates can cause your holdings to depreciate or appreciate day to day. In the case of cryptocurrencies those value variations can be *exceptionally* wild. In the same year, appreciation can amount to an order of magnitude in gains! Look at [Ether's price](https://etherscan.io/chart/etherprice), $8 January 1st of this year, yet currently over $300. But the inverse is also true, there can be losses just as mountainous.\n\nKnowing a few basic market principles can help guide you in your trading of the various cryptocurrencies. It's similar to how like learning to read a person's \"tells\" can help you to play a better game of poker or blackjack. But there remain other factors involved, some without our control, that affect our [chances](https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/hackers-seize-32-million-in-parity-wallet-breach/) at making a profit - the de facto aim of any trade. So at the end, no matter how educated or versed you are, there can be no guarantee that you'll walk away from your chosen gamble with a [profit](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/6egbrk/what_is_your_biggest_loss_and_greatest_gain/).\n#\n\n-------- \n#\nMy lottery, however, barely involved any form of currency. What would be exchanged was *time and energy* for **hardware equipment**. Of course, however, due to the price of hardware today, the equipment offered in exchange for that time and energy would often be yesteryear's or broken, **or both**. But among the non-functioning parts and systems may lie golden nuggets that could be used to build a mining rig. \n\nBut why would the Monero Miner take this gamble you ask? Wouldn't saving and purchasing equipment oneself be a straightforward and less stressful endeavour? Surely, collecting, sorting and testing equipment would consume a lot of time. Time, that may have been otherwise employed. It would also require a lot of patience and research for troubleshooting year old parts. Oh, and let's not forget the space required to keep everything packed away in a safe and orderly manner. So again, why choose this gamble? Could the potential gain be that much more than the loss incurred? \n\nTo answer that question, we must remember that my profitability is only further compounded by the use of inexpensive equipment. It would make the length of time for return on investment substantially shorter. Any functioning parts gained through our transactions that lead to the creation of mining rigs become icing on an already discounted cake.\n\n*And who doesn't like cake*?\n\n# Delayed Win Streak...\n#\n\nThe hope of most gamblers is that of a win or a win streak. But besides some [intricate math](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lottery_mathematics), there's just no telling when and if there'll be a win streak and thus begins our trials...\n\nSince October 5th, we've collected five laptops, three desktops, seven motherboards, many ram modules, over ten graphics cards and six power supplies. A large collection for such a small space of time. Colour me appreciative and surprised. October 5th was the day I made a post on what's the equivalent of my local \"craigslist\" and the response has been overwhelming. \n\nThis is due to the fact that for every exchange each party is gaining something. A lot of persons wish to clear up space in their home but would rather not throw out potentially useful items and we're offering free pick up :) Needless to say, it's a win/win.\n\nThat's a win/win on collecting equipment, which is a far cry from building functioning systems. We'll discuss that process in detail in the following posts.\n\n--------\n\nThanks for all the support again, especially @maxer27, @rmp, @steemfiles, and @xeo who are my newest followers. make sure to check out their stuff on Steemit! Take care, and see you all next time!",

      "body": "# Making Crypto Friends...\n#\n\nIt's me again, *this time* I'll introduce myself as the **Monero Miner** from Trinidad and Tobago.  \n\nToday I found two other miners in my home country, and I'm ecstatic. I honestly thought there weren't many like me out here. I've been sharing articles, retweeting tweets and personally evangelising the crypto tune but little have responded with interest. I found the first on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/cryptominerstt/) and the second on [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HO7lri92lSI). Naturally, of course, upon finding them, I promptly invited them both to feature in this blog series.\n\nFrom the little information I've gathered so far, one is mining Monero and the other Ethereum. They've been at it for a whole and are both very enthusiastic about cryptocurrencies.  A decentralized exchange and website in the works as well, which, if I'm not mistaken would be the first crypto exchange created by a national of my own home country. So you can count on me supporting and providing coverage of their launches!\n\nI'm considering expanding this blog to include some features and guest posts by any new willing miners that I find in my community. That way fresh and new perspectives can be brought to the table, put on display and be up for discussion. All of this for our Steemit friends to be a part of.\n\n## And Keeping Them...\n#\n\nHave any of you been to a Crypto meetup? I think I'd like to host one before the year is up. However, I have little to no experience in that field, I'll be sure to let you guys in on the planning phase and keep you updated throughout. I'd like for it to be a place where anyone can feel free to discuss their rigs, favourite coins or some of the more technical aspects of the blockchain. And let's not forget about the larger philosophies behind cryptocurrencies such as decentralisation, free markets, and libertarian principles, because *everyone* likes to talk about those things, *right?*\n\n-------\n\nThanks for all the support, especially @cryptoriddler and @mike26 who are my first two followers. Take care, and see you next time!",

      "body": "![Map of Trinidad and Tobago](http://www.trinoutdoors.com/images/Trinidad_2A.jpg)\n\nI'm still unsure as to who exactly my readership will comprise of here on Steemit. I'm a young black, male adult with interest ranging from rap and spoken word to cryptocurrencies and decentralisation. So my posts here will be a mixture of both as they remain close to my heart. \n\nOver the course of the upcoming weeks, we'll be exploring my journey into creating an inexpensive mining rig(s) and the lessons learned on the way there.\n\nSo let's get to the main question you've been asking, what has any of this to do with the title? What is this tiny island? Well, I'm sure a great deal of you are from well-known areas of the globe, whose nations are probably in the news for much better news than [mine](http://www.cnc3.co.tt/press-release/us-travel-advisory-warns-visiting-areas-and-around-port-spain) might be. Negatives aside though, I'm from the beautiful twin island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. \n\n--------\n\nThe factors that made me interested in cryptocurrencies will be dealt with extensively in some of the following blog posts. For now, we'll touch on the three basic considerations for mining any cryptocurrency:\n1. Electricity cost, \n2. Capital cost (machinery and miscellaneous equipment) and \n3. Opportunity to spend (whether in its crypto form or exchanged into fiat).\n\nThe cost of electricity (running cost) and the cost of investment (initial/capital cost) are the two major considerations every potential miner should be making note of.\n\nLet me say this. If I had to compete with miners from the US on potential profitability based on electrical cost alone I would undoubtedly lead the entire pack. Here's a look at the average price per kilowatt for the various [states](https://www.eia.gov/electricity/state/). The highest goes to Hawaii at 26.17 cents per kWh and the lowest goes to Washington at 7.4 cents per kWh.\n\nTrinidad's cost per kWh works out to be just [4 cents (PDF download)](https://ttec.co.tt/default/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Tariffs.pdf) per kWh when converted from our local TTD to USD.\n\nThat's right, **electricity cost in my home country is lower than *every single state in the USA.***\n\nWith that said, you must be wondering what the initial investment will be like. The more curious readers would have noted that the exchange rate between the TTD (Trinidad and Tobago Dollar) and the USD is a paltry 0.15 to 1.\n\nWe could have a lengthy discourse over the various cost of living metrics, however, for now, it'll suffice to say that we aren't going to employ the **traditional route of sourcing** equipment to mine on.\n\n*And for any concerned parties, everything done will be completely legal.*\n\nI hope this post served as a whet to keep you all coming back. Exciting things are up ahead, so to everyone, thanks for your time and it's great to be part of the same community here with you all.\n\n-- Jon",

(Will I measure up?)\n(Will I rise as aspirations or as disillusions drop?)\n\nWell, I've traveled a few of these roads. They lead me to various precarious places without familiar faces. In my pursuit of belonging, it's always so evasive... But the faces I do see all share the Same Expressions just redundant apathetic indifferent Stoic Dispositions.\nNo one cares to hear me out… I built a moat to keep them out. I clogged my ear so I wouldn’t hear, the caring counsel of a friend, desperately fighting to see my fever end.\nThese roads, I travelled. These roads, I hate. These roads, my troubles, these lanes create. These Roads! May be many, but my life is one, and if things travel faster in a straight line, maybe I should leave the past all behind, because it's twists and turns, leave me lonesome burns, switching lanes every time calamity came, looking back I'd never do it all the same. Or maybe I would, because I love the pain, as if it's my own self atoning punishment for the sins I commit, behold self mutilation, can’t say you weren’t warned of it.\n\n---------------------------------------------------------\n\nThe first time I cut was in college. Just shallow cuts on the forearm, forced harm fraying the upper epidermis, a microcosm of a crisis. I felt relief as I bled, well at least I thought I did. The next day the lines were discovered, and not an ounce of sympathy recovered. Decided, not to cut… anywhere that wouldn't be covered. The blade rose to rest on my brachium, same pain, same pleasure, same cuts that made me numb. Oh, I knew it was wrong, and it didn’t help with coping.\nBut I did the cutting! I held the blade. I held regrets and longed for the grave.\n\nIt was me who drew the blood from my arms like water from a well, then feigned acceptable answers, told everyone I was simply swell.\nIt's not metaphorical or analogical It’s not some sort of played out hypothetical. Oh, the lacerations  in my flesh, the palpitations in my chest testify that I couldn’t cope with this, I couldn’t fathom why I’d exist.\nAnd it made me so sick, that I couldn't cloak it... So I sought out the easy escape.\n\nThese quick fixes - caught betwixt! Self defeat inducing and self image reducing; left me seeking suicide more times than I could count, too many instances where my mind would drift off to vast distances thinking, “what if, what if I were no more.” That’s what’s left when you see life itself as a chore. Thankfully  I learned to manage, this carnage of my life in pieces, to control the damage, to pack up the baggage, clear the drainage, stay within the dosage, do everything in my power in order not to mismanage the good memories, because there was a shortage...\n\n------------------------\n\nLet' talk about bridges and the gaps they supposedly connect. I’ve never chanced upon a bridge that was riskless yet. So every step made upon, is a gamble with beyond. One could slip into another state, meet an end of their earthly fate... Every time I've approached an overpass, I’ve wondered if the structure would last, under the burden of my weight, would it, it’s duty abdicate? \nBridges are intermediaries between point A and point B - that always seemed pretty pointless to me. Because every time I'd attempt a crossing, some haphazard happenstance of a circumstance would occur- that I'd end up remorsing. \n\nNo one wants to grow up. We don't. We tell ourselves that we do, that we long for the freedom too, but that's a claim made in heady haste and desperately devoid of all wisdom. Because the chain of freedom is responsibility and that’s chained to accountability and ultimately, those links proved too heavy for me. There are bridges I'd rather burn than build! Glasses that I'd rather keel than fill! There are things I’m comfortable leaving unresolved, to leave unwound than to convolve. I don’t fight to tie up the loose ends, with is why I leave a wake of one close friends. I guess bridges aren't for cowards, like me, I guess that's why I never get to point B.\n\n------------------------\n\nEver been pulled over? Pulled aside? Pulled away? Pulled down or apart? If not you're lucky, because it affects the heart. I have an issue with authority. Maybe the singular doesn't do much justice... I have issues with authorities. Never liked the idea of anyone being over me. Not so much of fright, but one of insecurity when I lie on my bed at night...\nI feel as if even surface level questions are probing, and I can feel my sanity folding, it's not something I take lightly. This had been a heavy hindrance between me and my mother, who at this time rarely even bothers to bother… but I’m trying, after all, it’s a commandment with promise right?\n\nI went to counselling once, against my will. Can't remember what became of those sessions, hopefully I learned some lessons. His face was familiar, years earlier he preached at my dad’s funeral. Well I guess it would have made relating a bit more, natural?\n\nI hear the horns honking behind me, they're ready to go, but I'm at a standstill.\nA standstill with no traffic, how ironic.",
