Don't have a bitshares wallet?
It's easy to get the 3 second block times and security of a decentralized exchange - The bitshares DEX.
Go here to get your wallet, then post the address in your comment and get 10bts free for learning about the cutting edge of blockchain technology.
https://bitshares.org/wallet/#/?r=twiceuponatime
Never lose access to your funds ever again (or even for the first time you still naive crypto newbies). I always use the light wallet (you don't have to download and sync the blockchain. ALWAYS BACK UP up your wallet immediately after installing. Keep the brainkey and bin file in a very safe place - (perhaps in an encrypted e-mail to yourself at your encrypted e-mail service such as protonmail.com, unseen.is, tutanota.com etc.).
You are the true champion @onceuponatime!
You've solidified your status as a crypto legend and master promoter of all things graphene! Oh, and did I say unbelievably generous!
I'm always anxious to have more BitShares as it is still crypto's true rising star!

Hi @kus-knee i followed and resteemed your recent post. Congratulation @onceuponatime i also resteemed your post :)
Ohh, I want to run from states to that race, i am always big fan of Bitshares. I love that wallet, sophisticated and so easy to use, anyway cheers for the race also. good luck @onceuponatime for your effort for this wonderful post
Was that the Thasos Island on the photos ? just love it :)
Man I wish I could be running that race! A little heads up next time and I'll grab a ticket to Greece or wherever!! ;)
Upvoted bts: lovejoy
The race isn't until September. Stop off here to get acclimatized before Steemfest.
Ahh ha!
http://www.verticalkilometer.gr/
This looks like something a person should train for... ;)
Loutraki, the crypto-friendliest place on Earth, has an awful lot of other attraction going for it too. And I do know a few graphene people here who would be glad to meet/see you again. Quite a few lol
It's a regular graphene colony.
Ok, I'm strongly considering the trip. :) I'll keep you posted!
Hmmmmmmmm! Intriguing... I move out of my place on 8/31 ... i wonder.

I rent out my crystal ball by the minute, hour, or day (for you, special price).
I warn you though, the hard part is knowing what questions to ask :-)
Bravo! Upvoted and re-steemed!!!
I was born in greece and greek was my first language but i am forgetting cos i was still a boy when i left greece and no memories of it but seriously, if steemfest happens by a miracle, i will definitely touch greece in the process! From your thumbnail, you always appeared to me like a young boy, but now i grasp you are better and many things are explained. I won't lie i am your fan. Deep down i want to ask you to please look at all that has been building on #steemgigs or #steemgig for some months now. All been manual and really hard, to grow the tag but here is the whole vision in an old post:
https://steemit.com/growth-projects/@steemgigs/steemit-growth-projects-steemgigs-bringing-the-beauty-of-the-steem-blockchain-and-decentralization-to-the-limelight-using-fun
We are pushing it all slowly. Primary aim is to reach 5,000 steemgigs and many long term goals even with viva crowns, though i am not very sure how i will integrate that in the future but basically, i am looking to support people who post a steemgig, with some tangible upvotes and keep them going. With is we will be able to build the most awesome community on steemit, where we practically know each other and help each other build dreams and create vision from day one. We go the path of steemgigs posts because we know what 5,000 steemgigs posts will do for the beauty, thus, organic growth of steem in the search engines. The community is already approaching 150 steemians and we are already the gather the most creative steemians, including a dev-request centre with almost 10 developers. It is a beauty. I really want you to be part of this! Look at our discord server when you have time: https://discord.gg/wWrnSXK
I am @surpassinggoogle on all chats! You can also see @steemgigs here on steemit!
Thank you for the last gift of 10$ in bitshares. For that one, it was kus-knee that was kind enough to tell me to come here.
This time however, i was here on my own and my bitshares name is:

Upvoted!
Thank you very much. As I am now working 20 hour days on current projects, I can't take on anything new just yet. I will be in Mexico in early August to consult with the VIVA team and perhaps we could arrange a conference call at that time. And then meet in person at either the Loutraki event in September of Steemfest II in Portugal in November.
Okay great! Thank you for your response and for going through my long comment. We still have a long way to go with VIVA and all and hopefully we get to see in Greece and Steemfest! Your boy Terry.

@onceuponatime I was searching for an upcoming run to motivate me for summer training and you just gave me an extra motivation!
I will have this in mind for sure!
If Loutraki becomes popular among crypto enthusiasts we can think and propose a deal to the local casino for some crypto games ;)

Appreciate what you do, and continue being awesome!
upvoted bts: tcalbmed2017
As an aside, I'm a complete newbie to all of this (and rather feel like an old "fudderdudder"). I've been hearing about it, but haven't ventured anywhere near this. But now I have set up an account! (Hopefully it works, I still have 3 dots circling under my name). I will have read up on how to back up a wallet, and what in the world brainkey and bin files. But, onwards and upwards! 😉
If you take the time to learn about it now, you are ahead of 99.99999% of the world, and you will be VERY well off very soon!

You're living life to the fullest, I love all your posts lol.. I'm opening a bitshares now thanks to you...cheers!
Wow, great initiative! Just the fact that you are promoting healthy lifestyle deserves a mention, but you are also making the #crypto family to do stuff together. I believe that if the right people have enough power in BTC they will change the world, it is already happening and will be spectacular in the future. Enjoy the trails!
Wow. Amazing!
nice
I upvoted since it's a good initiative. I wish you the very best brother. At the moment not looking for anything in return. Cheers!!!!
This is crazy, 6km length, 1km height. I must participate that one. Have finished one 10k and one 15k but none with a height. Thousands of bitshare seems meaningless compared to this race. Waiting for details about that race.
Looks a wonderful experience in Greece! You are simply the best, @onceuponatime ! I have to say that you are very generous person and a legend in the crypto world!!!

Upvoted bts: tfllkushk
I'm sorry but I'm getting: "Unknown account" for bts: tfllkushk Did you perhaps spell it wrong? I tried copying and pasting it in several times but always with the same "Unknown account" result.
Hi , My apologies .. Tha account name is bts: tfllkshk .. Sorry doing this for the first time .
10 bts sent to your account! One needs to be very careful when using crypto. I sent 1000 bitUSD to the wrong account once! I cried, but that didn't help. Some jerk has made an account name that looked almost like the exchanges's name, just off by one letter.
What .. that must have felt really bad ... I will follow your advice with all my heart .. Will make sure to check every thing thrice before executing anything in crypto.
