What if you wake up one day and get to know my Witness Node is down?
This can probably happen soon.
Why ?
Because crypto is down, Server costs are up because of inflation.
For some time, I was trying to keep up with everything with whatever I have, as long as I can, hoping for the market to rise up again.
You all may be thinking why I am saying this?
Because for a few months now, I was working on crypto projects (not hoping for any money) as I left my job and was not able to get another one because of some family issues and health.
Whatever I get with these projects/blogs helped me well when I was not working full time. So, I started nodes/witnesses as well as some other services to support all these projects.
I was not depending on one, but multiple projects so I can support each other. But now everything is down.
It's not like I expected to become rich from all of these but to just get some returns on my investment, my time.
Even if I ignore the money value, I was still contributing until people started complaining about the features I do add. This caused more pain than the price of crypto itself. I am not a rich guy so can not compete with those bad whales as well, who used their endless money to have their fake witnesses at the top (along with some real people, who are just fake)
Nor can I keep replying and making clear those false allegations. It is not worth for the peace of mind.
I will simply say, "You won I lost"
So, just sharing with you all, the possibilities of things happening.
Everything is currently running fine and will be for more months. But again, this is a possibility of happening in the future. So be ready for that.
I might have to look at other things and sources to get money, so I may not be active often here. Meanwhile, feel free to comment and I will try to reply back ASAP as I can.
Thanks for being with me.
I will not add any closed messages, as that is childish. Accounts on crypto can never close. So, I will be checking that.
Thanks again.
Bye for now...
This is a generalized sentiment, the downturn in the crypto world does not allow at this time to maintain some services. But to keep up the spirit of the projects I like I still maintain my servers, however it has been an uphill battle to maintain them. So like you I have had to derive in other projects to stay afloat in the 1.0 life. Good luck in your search and may everything get better.
Thanks, yeah same situation around. Trying to get some work where I can manage my work as well the existing crypto projects.
Well… I honestly believe that only @tekraze should receive a Blurt income each month.
What are the others doing ???
How much would you need each month to survive ? 1,000,000 Blurt ?
That’s still almost nothing.
Please do not shut down …
Check the https://ecosynthesizer.com/blurt/@tekraze to get exact idea of how much he is getting.
You'll be disappointed to see the value compare to his dedication & contribution.
I am not pointing to anyone.
I am just saying it with the current price - it's less than 2-3 hours wage a labour would get in USA/Canada.
and 8 hours wage a labour would get in India.
I can also sense the level of frustration, depression, helplessness.
He definitely should be paid for his hard work. I’d say he should get $100/ hour minimum.
Nobody should work for Free….
I had to delegate to @upvu to earn a good amount of Blurt here on Blurt
it's approx $100 per month
That’s crazy… it should be $100 an hour minimum.
Time = money
Yes👍⚡
but let him speak for himself. don't trust my words.
If I only earn about $1 on my one Blurt post / day …. Then I can really only spend about 30 seconds per post. To earn my required $120 per hour.
It's not about the Blurt salary, that's fine, but other issues, as well the price. You already know better. I have not yet decided to turn it off, as some servers were paid in advance for a few months. But seeing the prices dropping day by day, chances of getting the price back are very rare. Nothing can be said.
That’s true. It’s not about the Salary. It will be better when Blurt goes back to 10 cents. Maybe we will get some Big Investors to join from Twitter … @elonmusk @sbf @donaldtrump @cz etc
We love you for your work bro, no matter what people say. No one can deny the fact that blurt was struggling with a good and stable frontend before you was here.
Thank you and do not give up.
Thanks
It's painful to see talent is getting into crisis and no can really help the situation. There are many investors and still innovators are less and hence there is no right balance for how. But i hope situation improves in future. Have you come across TLOS? May be you can build your reputation with your work and involvement there and can move up the ranks to be a block producer. Top 20 people are receiving like 1000 TLOS per day which is like 200$/day. So this is fairly matching hourly labour rates. 10-15$/hour is a fair rate according to me. Of course you know more. I can connect you with one of our Indian Block producers if you want. This blockchain is quickly evolving.
Thanks for your words. I only know Appics on the telos chain, but I don't use that much. TLOS looks good but will take time to reach a proper rank. I will try to gather more knowledge and try.
Ofcourse ofcourse! Mr. Ajinkya is one of important guys on TELOS and good friend of mine. He is more into marketing than technical. We are trying to build our community on TELOs. You can learn and of the help for the community. Take time and go through it once.
Nice, can you share any link where I can find more detail
You have worked hard on this and I know your hard work will not go waste.
Stay positive and keep on working.
Thanks for the trust
