It's currently valued at just under $1 and it's had a…revisesociology in # akt • 5 yr. ago • 2 min readPicked up a little AKT a few days agoIt's a funny coincidence - I've been thinking of diversifying into some kind of decentralised cloud storage coin, and low and behold this post about AKT by the most excellent @JK6276 pops up in my feed! I'll let you read his post explaining the basics of it, he does a much better job of outlining a use case for a coin that I could ever…revisesociology in # blurtcrypto • 5 yr. ago • 3 min readARK: Worth Investing in?At time of writing ARK is ranked 177th on CoinMarketCap with a value of $53M ($0.41 and a supply of 130M). (Of course by the time this publishes these rankings may well have changed!) . What is 'ARK'?

I tend to have one clean and tidy session first thing in the morning, these days after breakfast and dicking about on Hive, and then I tend to chuck in another session around mid afternoon, when I’m flagging with…revisesociology in # blurtgames • 5 yr. ago • 4 min readSplinterlands challenge of the weekThis week's Splinterlands Challenge of the Week is to showcase the exploding dwarf. Well I've failed to find a suitable opportunity to do this, as the Dwarf is just too specialist - you need equaliser or a pro-melee rule set and I just haven't been getting either of those recently. Moreover I don't play the Fire Splinter - I did try a few…revisesociology in # blurtgames • 5 yr. ago • 4 min readMy Splinterlands Report Card@revisesociology Thanks to @abh12345 I just discovered this awesome tool for summarising last season's performance on Splinterlands - I've seen a few other people posting using it, but not really paid it that much attention until he waved it in my face. Anyway, I like this sort of thing!

This is one of the Beta cards that I maxed out during the TH Bot rage quit sell-off, and at L10 he's pretty fearsome - 4 damage and fast, with sneak, and not too bad health for three mana either, meaning he can handle a…revisesociology in # blurtech • 6 yr. ago • 3 min readAre we going to get a Global Financial Reset soon?I've heard talk recently of a new Bretton Woods style global reset, but this time with digital money potentially issued by central banks.

I really wasn't in the mood for dealing with Portuguese systems this morning, but Friday is my weekly food shop day in Fundao, the local municipal centre where all the banks are, so it seemed silly to not get this chore…revisesociology in # blurtsports • 6 yr. ago • 1 min readA tough and slightly disappointing new running route!It was a tough run today, and not especially enjoyable - I explored a new area after driviving about 15Ks west of where I lived, but the route I ended up taking wasn't anywhere near as off road as I thought it would be or hilly. Here's my starting point - But I never really got up into those hills - I took a wrong turn early on, too many…revisesociology in # blurtfood • 6 yr. ago • 1 min readDeath Cap Mushrooms on the Quinta!These are death cap mushrooms - I wouldn't have known but i had an expert point them out to me the other day.... You can identify them by their luminous tinge. One large one... And a cluster... Apparently if you eat even the tiniest bit, you get 'really fucking ill', then feel better, and then die.
