I am Not a Robot

I began writing this post 52 minutes ago. One keystroke wiped the whole thing out! Ratz

Honestly, I used another word, but I will not repeat that here. ha, ha It's OK I was going to call it quits for tonight. Then I put my "Big Boy Pants On" and said, No! This is the life of a Blogger, and if I was at work and made a mistake I would not storm off being mad and accomplish nothing.

Finnegan Begin Again

I just have to be real careful with my fingers right now, and not have another fatal Restart.

So I have been here on Steemit One Full Month Now! If you have read my posts, or have been following me for sometime - I am what middle America would call an "Average Joe". Average Joe was taken here on steemit when I signed up, so I choose @joedirt.

I really had to research what I was going to do with my steemit blog, what I had to offer, if and how I could help or in some way make a difference. [I am still doing a lot of that to this date]

I read a lot about Volunteerism in the past two weeks here on steemit.

I had the opportunity to participate in 'one event' this week. I read a post by @aggroed for a Fund Drive to help @clevercreator avoid eviction. One of my thoughts from articles I read was on contributing through Time or Money toward projects or events. I believe in a way that "Money is Time in Paper Form" - In this case, with the benefit of Cryptocurrency Money is Time in Digital Form. Though my contribution was small, it represented just under 4% of my total Steemit Holdings at the time. I did what I could, with what I had - and it gave me a sense of accomplishment that I had the ability to respond to a need real time, without being there in person. {Perhaps in away I am becoming a Bot} ha,ha

Seriously though if you would, consider upvoting & resteeming @clevercreator and @aggroed over the next 30 days to helpout and share the Love in the steemit community. ........Speaking of Love and bots there is a Bot I came across this week that just made me laugh it is @lovejuice and though I have not used it yet, I will make it the first bot I use here on steemit in the future. (Once I figure it all out)

Mining Update

Here is the update on my noob mining progress over the past 20 days. Please do not laugh. Yes I know I have earned a whooping .22 Cents USD in XMR which may seem not worth the time, but bare with me till I explain things.

Faucets

The above Photos are of Faucets I have used over the past 30 days to earn Crypto Coins. They pay very little and take time to earn. I posted Referral Links to both of them - please note I do not want to be scamy in anyway fashion or form here on steemit. I can say as a noob I have learned from them what it takes to earn money in a digital space and how being consistent in habits can long term be of benefit. I have roughly made about $5-6 USD in just under 30 Days from the two sites, and have been paid out with my provided exchange wallet where I had them sent.

Investments

Referral Link to Earn Free Clam Coin: https://freebitcoins.com/?ref=xFYxb1d4EEcJ8MG4z369wcUKtXUWpQ4vbT

So with this last one, I got a "Clam Coin Wallet" on the Just-Dice.com website then registered the wallet on an account at freebitcoins.com site which has a Faucet for Clam Coin then I participate when I am on the computer to earn "clam" and when I have enough in my wallet I Invest it in the casino website to earn a "Stake in the profit/or loss" so far I have invested 0.0066 clams and have a balance of 0.00716212 with the free faucet coin I have acquired. It is a "passive investment" which then begins to work without my participation. As I collect more Clam Coin I "Re-Invest it" to earn more.

Now I know you may be 'thinking' ..............

The Old Man has Lost his Noodle somewhere! I have Not and this is my logic (good, bad or indifferent) I came from a generation of "Work with What You Got" and "Make Due". My reasoning is (A) I have a small and older laptop, without a large budget to buy new. (B) I understand little above copy & paste and right click to edit. (C) You have to start somewhere, why not start Today!

If you are like me, and this is your reality - then the links above are for you. If you are experienced in the crypto space and know advanced mining techniques and other programs - This is Defiantly Not for You I have learned a lot from using these not because I have earned a lot but they opened my mind up to what is possible for me to achieve 6 months from now. I have been motivated to pick up odd jobs to supplement my budget expenses to be able to invest more in time & money into Crypto and Steemit. Here's my USD Investments from the Odd Jobs this month.
