Which is your preference and why?

If different, what would you recommend to someone starting out with a new platform (ie. starting up new sites like Cassy and/or new video productions)?

I prefer Coinbase Pro for buying, it lets me do me do limit buys and sells, simple automation that can be very handy in a volatile market for snagging coins at dips or selling at highs without being there. I have 4 orders standing now, all waiting if particular coins drop to certain levels to snap them up.

And I like Coinbase regular for actually looking at the market history. They just charge way larger fees so I buy and sell on Pro You can transfer between the two instantly and for free so I use them in tandem. They have a wallet too that is also connected. And it's a large publicly traded company.

I use Gemini and Uphold because they have coins Coinbase does not, like VET and DOT, and I need them for transferring BAT tokens from Brave (just how Brave is setup).

Binance is very popular too but it's not legal to use in my area. Some people use VPNs to get around this.

GeminiUphold (maybe both) looks the most promising for linking into a forum, it has an api to allow 3rd party interactions. Interface is simple, which is a pro and con.

Where did everyone go? u/hennaojichan asked me but I just got back from camping so I dunno.

Thanks for all that.

I was simply thinking of a central wallet for collecting donations, including possibly some less profit-driven ones like NameCoin and FileCoin. Unless someone offers obscure coins I won't be seeking them.

This relates to my recent Cassy post. Interested in helping re: accounting and management?

But now that you mention it, eventually having a network currency might be good if it can be transparent, simple, and not rigged (Steemit was problematic).

It was a holiday weekend, the weather is better - and/or SaidIt seems like it's dying. I wonder how much it was dying under the LXXX crap that artificially boosted the numbers and such. I wonder how much damage their drama did. I also wonder about my own role - and now without anything to show 2 months later, I also wonder about Larry. Perhaps he and M7 are just MIA moping around somewhere, or frolicking with young women in the sunshine - or maybe they're getting new orders from their CIA/Mossad bosses.

A couple decades ago for years I would camp this big weekend in Austin at Burning Flipside. I miss that stuff.

u/LarrySwinger2 is missing too? It's been almost a month since anyone saw m7, hope they're just busy with beaver.

We were hurting from the iron left, then the bans, then the outage, but this is a new level of quiet. I had one reply in 4 days. There's some new faces though too.

No, I'm here.

Ya, I suspect he finally got his dad's former professional server box and is installing his phpBB so he can be the next magnora7 - assuming anyone wants to learn a new non-Reddit-like forum interface (a big ask for many IMO).

You say that like it's a bad thing. What are we going to do during the next outage? I've used phpBB forums in the past, it's not a problem for me although I did mention on Sessions that it looks dated by default.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

It's not a bad thing. He went MIA, which was not good. PhpBB is not decentralized which is what it is.

Dated by comparison to what? I looked at phpBB and MyBB and others. Sadly there aren't any strong decentralized BB or forums. The best seem big and corporate (and likely compromised).

Nobody said that was the final step, let's face it, this whole thing is not going to pop out of our asses like a beautiful golden egg, fully formed and valuable. We're going to have to divide and conquer, break it down into steps and stages.

Also decentralized can be achieved in other ways, like simply by letting users download the message base. That has a number of advantages to it too, like it's simple. Keep it Simple Stupid is a fantastic principle.

You are correct. I have yet to discover all that's shitty about Lenny. Decentralization is the giant leap forward, along with fair open management - both huge improvements, despite whatever setbacks and hurdles.

Yes, backing up the system and providing it to download is a critical top priority.

For a mascot, what do you think of Simple Jack from Tropic Thunder but make it a chick and call her Simple Cassy. And yes, we should have it printed on t shirts and hats to generate some cash flow. There are sites that do that for you, if you were to say draw a simple image of simple cassy, not sure how horrendous their cuts are tho.

Canadians know Mr. Dressup, Casey, and Finnegan.
