PlainBroadcast Project: Our Story and why we are here :)
Hello beautiful steemit community!!!!
My name is Nuno (aka NuuNNN) a 23 years old Portuguese student in Financial Administration & Accounting and I’m part of the PlainBroadcast Project.
I’m here to tell you about my first and most recent Online Project PlainBroadcast
which is a collaboration of 2 friends: Me and joão (aka Nex). He's 23 years and a graduate in Marketing and Communication.
First, to introduce you to our project, we will tell a little bit of our history and how we’ve met
We are good old friends since school and we went together till University, alongside almost more than 10 years of friendship, and a lot of projects ahah!
Both of us since the beginning of our lives have always looked at things to find a different value and a possible way to learn and maybe even get some profit from it since that life isn't quite cheap and we came from poor working families (Twice the work half the fun).
The one and only!
The first project we started ,came just around 2005 when we met and rapidly started playing games like the kids we where :P We played games like WoW and CS 1.6 and then we just found a game that got us hooked so hard that we actually became some top players at the time.
The game was Metin2, one incredible game that still today is probably in my top 5 games from everything that i played and i played a lot :D
And while playing that awesome game, one dude just said “hey i'll give you 50 euros for your weapon” and i said“Really, you're kidding for sure” and he was all like “no, for sure! I really love the stats on it and i want it so bad” so moral of the story i met with the guy he gave me 50 bucks and i just called Nex and he sent the item to the other guys friend and we realised we could make some money out of playing our game! And we went really hard at it we farmed like crazy, every second we had we were trying to get better gear and yang so we could easily trade with other players we even started leveling accounts and selling them for a bit huge of money at that time. If i call correctly we made a total of 3000 euros at the time in about 2 years! Not so much when you think about it, but remember we were very poor ( Still are XD) so it made us so happy and proud of our gaming money!
Some years went by and other games we played more recently such as Diablo, Path of exile, CS GO ( My number one favorite game of all time, even got myself to GE at one summer now i stopped playing but sometimes i get back and give some shots ahah :P).
And thus, we come to another project!
Second project: PC Building
This was our second project and a little more elaborate. Since an early age i became one big computer geek and enthusiast so as i’ve learned the skills via tutorials and videos of PC building and tech reviews, i just look at that current date around 2014/2015 and every local shop of computer hardware that sold standard HP, ASUS, ACER and all those brands where such dull computers at least for me and for my tastes and it was just a bad “bang for your buck” kind of Computers so i’ve decided to start building them and selling more good looking, affordable and especially good customer service PC’s. Well it wasn't a very lucrative market mainly because i couldn't get parts as cheaply as desired and it was really hard to get some recognition from the consumer in general, so we sold around 15 PC’s from different ranges of prices. Even though it wasn’t the best money making project it was really fun since building PC is a true hobby and i aspire for one day to do a really crazy build over the budget and watercooled (never done that and it's something i really hope to do one day) Maybe i'll do it and do a build log to post in steemit if it's something you guys would like to see! Just tell me in the comments and i'll for sure try to make it happen!
And last but not least,we get to the present 2017, where we UNITED again to do our biggest Project since the dawn of times (just kidding we probably suck so hard)
CRYPTOCURRENCY - TADAAAA!
Now that generic Bitcoin logo just too fill this up :trollface:
Yup that's right another Bitcoin/Ethereum/Mining/BoringBlog like tons of it already on the internet! (And STEEM not to forget that awesome Crypto!!! ahah)
Yes you guessed it. Another ONE! (Like DJ khaled says).
We learned about crypto around 2014 and we looked at the figures of mining so obviously since i’m a very analytical guy i started number crunching and i said ahh that sucks (Yup i'm dumb i know) … we have to spend like 2000$ bucks so we can get some kind of profit that isn't really sure to happen… And although we saw that it had a great potential ,our combined capital was in fact way closer to 0 than too 2000$ so we just dropped the idea.
Suddenly around 2 weeks ago i just saw that the crypto world, if we could call that, was changed from the feet up and i was like HOT DAMN! What the “F” JUST HAPPENED? HOW COULD I BE SOO DUMB? And i went to bed crying about the possibilities that i just wasted in some 2 or 3 years …
So now we are HERE!! With EXACTLY the same ideias that everyone already had …
Still we are determined in pursuing our dreams and not letting the train escape again from our hands!
Our Objectives for the Project:
-Learn the most we can about all the cryptocurrencies and what they represent ( if it's something that you’ld like to see as posts like teaching what we learn and even giving our honest opinion about them we can do that but i bet you're probably way smarter already then us so yeah comment if someone wants it, well try to deliver with our best capability!)
-Start a Mining Rig and try to give the best step by step guide of what we've done and what are our ideas and objectives with everything we do about Mining. We will start running tests on Hardwares, Softwares once the machine starts rolling. Anything you want to see posted we will try to show as best as we can (like pictures of a semi-adult man crying over lost cryptocurrency).
-We will try to enter in the trading market too, and see how that goes but mainly our priority at this moment is setting an operational mining rig that for sure it will be the most experience giving and learning thing we can start of.
-Start a blog ( this is it !!!!!) Since a long time i’ve been thinking of starting a blog with my girlfriend about food and we never “started” and suddenly i learned about this awesome community and blog type blockchain based site that is the true nature of a social network. So me and Nex will talk about the geek stuff with Crypto’s and maybe later on i'll start something about food and my country (we’ll cook and post pictures next to the rig):P
-Maybe if the blog and if specially you guys ask for it we will start making some Vlogs trying to show what we are doing with the project (like crying over manual resets of the rigs).
-And the most important thing about our project is ( Plain Broadcast hence the name ) sharing everything money related from everything we do so you know what is going on! We will try to do weekly updates of our portfolio and how much we won or lost over the week so you get a little more of explanations of the crypto struggle (several posts will be added on twitter and instagram as well).
And i think that's about it for now!
Actual state of our Project:
At the moment my friend Nex is not in Portugal and he's working in Brazil (Pastel de Banana and Caldo de Cana!!) so shout out to all the brazilian people in here! He will come in August to PT and that's when there will be more content posted, maybe an everyday post with something related. (he will do a complimentary introduction post too don't worry you’ll get to know him ahah)
For now, it's more all up to me :P And i’ve been doing some stuff like saving money for a new Graphics card since my GTX 780 just died on me some weeks ago when i just read about the crypto’s and wanted to start Mining ( I got so mad at the timing ). So these weeks i’ve been doing everything i can to save and earn some money to get a brand new RX 580 :DDDDD (Comment pls what’s the model i should buy and why cuz i’m really confused because the damn prices are so high and i really dont wanna screw this up)
As soon as i get the money ill buy it and post it for you guys!
I already build a Rig Case that if you want i can post the results and how i did it. (I got impressed with my skills :P)
And i already started number crunching and we are hoping with all of your help and awesome ideas we can start building some crazy experiments and maybe even find more awesome stuff to show you :
Sooooo ...Last part and not least THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PATIENCE IF YOU READ ALL TO HERE! (DUDE or DUDETTE you are crazy!!!) This was probably the most boring thing you read in your life i bet :P So guys if you liked it comment and say what you liked and what you didn't like, and if you want to give us a hand Upvote us! :)
If you like to fund our project with a little boost in currency we will be super grateful!
