Almost got hit by a school bus this morning

Just got home and it was so close. My van almost get hit by a school bus this morning. I think it was my fault, making a left turn a little bit early as the school bus approached full speed, well hopefully that bus was going 35, appears to be faster though. Hoking at me for a constant of 30 seconds, seems like a pissed off school bus driver.

Lesson learn? It doesn’t matter where you live or who you are, especially for children, need to give them some room, since children are the future if we educate them correctly and by setting up example 🙂 off course.

Now, not all school bus driver are perfect, and we need them to either change their behavior or get rid of them completely. Our children lives and future are in their hand. I’ve seen school bus driver making bad decisions, poor choices, and some even intoxicated either with drugs or even alcohol. If you recall there was a school bud driver that took children on a field trip and she weaved in and out of the highway lanes constantly, then there was another scenario where the school bus driver beat up a kid because he wasn’t behaving. Come on now. Please!

Conclusion! no one is perfect, I’m not, you’re not, and maybe god is 🙂 I just have to admit the mistake and move on, sure a lot of people will not be happy for what just had happened, but it was an accident. In my case, a kind of close one, well maybe not close because that school bus was speeding.

The most profitable virtual currency Bitcoins to mine is Ethereum

As of blogging this now. I think the most profitable virtual currency to mine is Ethereum. Although Ethereum is new, but appears to be somewhat active, not really active but enough to have some kind of momentum going.

Bitcoins SHA256 and Scrypts Asics are no longer profitable to mine, even if you have free power, well someone have to pay for power and hardware. The so call ASIC immune coins to mine with GPU all of them, not profitable. Even if Bitcoin were to go up $500.

So who’s mining these virtual coins now a day? yes, just commercial miner, big farm with massive equipment hard to mine these virtual coins. Only a handful of people individual miner are still mining for fun, not for profit.

Ethereum appears to be a little bit different than other virtual currencies coins when it come to mining. Ethereum, you can mine with all equipment, that included CPU, GPU and ASIC. However the algo appear to be a memory eater, meaning it uses a lot memory. The memory I’m talking about is the GPU memory, not so much with computer RAM although it would help but not significant. Therefore it’s only for GPU mining, useless to mine with ASIC and CPU as we would not get much hash rate out of asic and cpu.

In term of profitability? it’s the best as of now.

I bought 3 Bitcoin at $343 per BTC a couple days ago

So I finally did it, I actually purchased 3 additional Bitcoin at $342 a couple days and it went to $300. Was nervous? NO 🙂 because I have money to burn! NO wrong! because I have a $1000 in my bank sitting doing nothing, and I don’t feel the need of that money anytime soon, so what the hec! I went ahead buy something that potential can grow in greater value, a good investment. However if it goes down I don’t feel bad, because I know bitcoin is here to stay.

Bitcoin is here to stay, it will not go anywhere, ever if the world banned Bitcoin, as long as there is one computer with bitcoin, as long as there is internet or some kind of network it will be around. So I’m not worrying too much about loosing that $1000 or 3BTC :).

As of now 11/12/2015 10AM Eastern Time, Bitcoin is at $330, and I bought it at $343 🙂

Is eBay really protecting the seller?

I sold an Amazon gift card on Friday 11/6 and on 11/7 I got a Paypal case opened against me because the buyer said it was an unauthorized transaction.

Paypal immediately took the money out of my account and placed it on hold, meaning I don’t have that money anymore, already taken out of my account and giving it back to the buyer. That is sad. I already shipped the Amazon gift card.

But! guess what? 🙂 that Amazon gift card is actually a paper gift cards and I kept the codes on records, meaning I still have the code. I can trace to see if the buyer will use it and perhaps on which account. Furthermore I can be creative and maybe cancel those gift codes by spending it onto my own amazon account. So this is a lesson learn I would to share to others, ensure you keep records.

I’m not sure what really happen in this case, did the buyer really a victim of a paypal account being hacked? or is it just another scammer trying to get a free gift card? the value is small, not that big to go through the process of being investigated.

Anyhow, I’ve already shipped that Gift Cards and it’s in-transit to be delivered on Monday 11/9. I already submitted my respond to Paypal that I have proof that I shipped, and I use eBay integrated shipping, the whole process done in eBay system. Let see what kind of protection will I have. Stay tuned.

 

Is China buying all the Bitcoin?

Look like EObot is still strong, and it indicated that China is buying all the Bitcoin which pushed the price up the roof.

China is buying all the Bitcoin! This has caused the BTC price to skyrocket in the past few days. This is great news for miners, since it causes our cloud fees to be lowered. Here’s more Eobot news:

-We’ve launched a $5* USD free Bitcoin promotion: eobot.com/promo

-GHS 3.0 went live and began mining on Friday, October 9

-Our X11 and Scrypt pools are offline as we rebuild them for those who connect with their own hardware and mine with us

Until next time…happy mining,
-The Eobot Team

Will Bitcoin reach $400 today November 3rd 2015?

It has been great for the last few weeks with Bitcoin price momentum going upward in the positive side daily. When will it end? or is this another bubble to $1000 mark and then pop again down to the $200? No one know.

As far as I know, and I’ve been following it daily. I feel so itchy to jump when it was around $300 last week knowing that it used to be in the $220 few weeks ago. So I thought maybe $300 is all it will get and will go back down again, but apparently not.

The surge in Bitcoin price appear to be from the help of China Bitcoin trading. In addition to Europe decided not to tax Bitcoin VAT that is. So maybe the news from Europe and high surge of Bitcoin trading in China contributes to this upward trend in price.

The thing about Bitcoin is that it’s unpredictable, however lately technology has been looking into the the Blockchain side of Bitcoin. Maybe Bitcoin price is one thing, but Blockchain might be another technology where merchants can adopt or newer technology can use Blockchain for something else.

The way it work as  I know it. Once all the Bitcoin is mined, all the hardware to mine Bitcoin will be useless. This is when all the merchants will be the primarily dominating the Bitcoin network transactions Blockchain. So maybe by the year 2040 or somewhere there we will see the world will be using Bitcoin as a single currency.

My family van flat tire with a knife?

Well just an assumption. This morning I woke up and went to the mail box to mail some items. I noticed my van have a flat tire. I immediately pump it up and noticed the air are coming out from the side, and that’s where the air leaking from.

I got my repair kit, and check out the damage. It’s on the side of the tire. Back wheel on the right side. So probably not being slashed or puncture at home I’m sure, because on the right side is where the entrance door to my house so no one would be that stupid to slash or puncture on the right side when they could have done it on the left side.

The puncture appear to be not from any kind of nails or screws but rather like a knife or sharp edges cutting in it. Right next to the hole, there’s another mark of unsuccessful puncture appear like it. So it’s hard to say if someone done this intentionally and for what reason. Or could it just some sharp objects that I went over or turning and hit the curb several weeks ago and now the impact might have worsen.

Anyhow I got it repair done in my garage with 2 sticks of strip to repair it because the hole was big. Also there’s a lot of construction going on, I wonder if there were something on the road that I hit.

Maybe it’s time to upgrade my house with more security camera just in case 🙂
