Crypto Fool

My Omnia Cloud mining has yielded disappointing results so far but this is not surprising considering the massive drop in values.

After an initial investment of 500 USD
Current mining Earnings 0.72 USD per day
Means it will take a whopping 694 Days to break even,
...that's just under 2 years.

It seems Omnia makes more money from the Multi-Level Marketing aspect than the actual mining at the moment.  The Pay-out procedure is very rigid, ridiculously slow and non-transparent only allowing me to withdrawal my cryptocurrency once (1) a week on Thursdays.

With this scenario, it’s easy to see why Newbie Crypto investors would be sceptical but it all depends on your reasons for getting into Crypto.  For me, the opportunity to remain unseen by central banking is attractive.  Also,  sidestepping the technical hassle and cost of setting up mining servers is excellent.

Today’s Lesson: Define your Crypto goals whether it’s short-term profit to be transferred back to Central banks or leveraging the ability to buy or sell using Cryptocurrencies.

After all, Money is just one big Game anyway

Sons of Immigrants

The UK Prime Minister made a clever “Uncle Tom” move by placing a 2nd Generation immigrant into one of the most powerful roles in her government replacing a British White female.

The “Urgent” session in parliament played out like pure theatre, with immigrants on both sides clashing words and intentions.  The Conservation Party pivoted to EU regulations and illegal immigration while Labour bombarded the new Home Secretary with direct questions on what he would “actually” do and when.

I wish they would replace the word “Windrush” with “Jamaican” as it actually refers to the truth of a ship carrying 1027 passengers and two stowaways on a voyage from Jamaica to London in 1948.

The Angry Black Man factor (Justified)

My parents came to England in the early 60’s and did alright for themselves, they had me, protected me and for the most part, guided me to success.  It was inspiring to see one of the few UK Black Members of Parliament stepping up to the plate and representing with strength and compassion.

Meanwhile, I caught some NPCs taking time out to relax.

It’s all about YOU

So with just over 31 days to go before the European Laws change the game, it’s important to know how this may impact you in real life.

Art. 33 GDPR Notification of a personal data breach to the supervisory authority

In the case of a personal data breach, the controller shall without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after having become aware of it, notify the personal data breach to the supervisory authority competent in accordance with Article 55, unless the personal data breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. Where the notification to the supervisory authority is not made within 72 hours, it shall be accompanied by reasons for the delay.

Clearly, the Lawyers and consultants will win in the end

Vague terms such as “undue delay” still gives weak protection for individuals but the game changer is 72 hours to tell everybody you’ve been hacked.

I can see more blackmail attempts coming forth as companies look to delay public notification.  The big telecoms companies are well prepared and have started notifying end-users of the legal changes but there is not much comments or chatter on how this will change the Hacker community.

The important thing is now you can sue someone when the big hacks happen….and they WILL happen.

Let the legal games begin

Today is a good day

Woke up to City birds singing this morning, no traffic noise just nature reminding me that I’m alive and well.

Sometimes you just have to ask for help.  I once heard it said that the Universe will conspire to help you when you get your head in the right space.  Right now, I’ve created my space for healing, my space for removing doubt, pain and disappointment.
