Hi New Steemit User Here From Rhode Island

in #introduceyourself8 years ago (edited)

First off, I want to thank you for taking the time to read my post. Secondly, I barely know want I am doing here so please bare with me. I have the tendency to ramble on so I apologize in advance and will try to keep this short and sweet.

My name is Darin. I am a 36 year old single male from Rhode Island. I own a few businesses and am always on the look out for new ventures and experiences. Currently by day I am managing one of my locations and by night I am trading crypto-currencies, working on projects, researching businesses and coming up with crazy ideas. Weekends I try to enjoy spending time with family and friends. I appreciate the arts and look for the positive in people. 

Before this reads too much like a dating application here is a recent picture of me:

Recently, I discovered BURST coin. It is a proof of capacity crypto currency that really took my interest. It is easy to mine spare hard drive space and the community at the burst-team forum is extremely helpful. I leave my computer on for the really bad video games that I play, so, it makes sense for me. I also use Storj share and Genesis Mining and am trading primarily on www.poloniex.com.   

Here is a picture of a pool that I am mining in. I am not the best but will do what I can to answer any questions pertaining to Burst or other coins.

I found Steemit by accident while surfing the web when I should of been sleeping. After reading a bunch of posts it seems like a really cool place and I now find myself visiting more often. I like the concept and the community seems extremely inviting. I hope I can contribute here and get to know some of you fine individuals.

If anyone is looking for advice with getting into vaping and finding an alternative to cigarettes I can definitely offer my services. It is a passion of mine and one of my primary businesses. I advocate daily for the vapor industry and will always make time for someone who is looking into it or who needs help. I am not looking to make sales with vapor here but will help to the best of my abilities. 

I have a dog who is my best friend. He is a 65 pound lap dog with the biggest heart and is great with children. I do not have kids but try to take care of him like he is part of my family. His name is Micky and knows exactly how to guilt me into extra treats a few times a week. I have had him about 5 years and he is starting to resemble his lazy owner.

I look forward to to reading more posts, contributing my own content and adding to the Steemit experience.

Welcome to Steemit darindarin!

Is the username supposed to suggest DARING DAREN? Sounds like you like taking chances and exploring new avenues. I may be able to help you with navigating within Steemit.

As someone who is fairly new myself, I had many questions about what Steem is and how to use the site. There are many tutorials explaining the basics of Steemit (the site) and Steem (the currency), however after a week of studying these tutorials, I was still left with some questions, so I began to experiment and ask others for answers. I figured that if I couldn’t readily find answers to my questions, then others just joining the community must surely be struggling with similar questions as mine. This prompted me to write and post what I had learned onto my blog page in an effort to save others the many hours I expended on research. You can find my article here: https://steemit.com/steemhelp/@happyme/what-most-tutorials-don-t-tell-you-about-steemit-com

Another thing you should know is that writing articles is not the only way to earn Steem. You can upvote articles written by others and earn a portion of what they make on their article. Unless a post is resteemed (similar to FaceBook’s ‘share’ button), the original post only earns an income until it is paid out, 7 days after it has been posted. By resteeming an article, that post’s payout is extended and allowed extra time to earn some upvotes from the viewers of the resteemed post. A resteemed post is copied to the blog page of the person doing the (share) resteeming.

What this all means is that for you to earn a portion of the post you are upvoting, you need to make your upvote before the pay-out has been made. Look for the bent arrow icon immediately to the left of the REPLY button at the bottom of every post. If that resteem button is NOT visible, it means the posting is no longer active and you will not get any income from that post (it will only show that you appreciated the poster’s work, exactly like the ‘LIKE’ button on facebook).

It doesn’t cost you any Steem to upvote someone’s work and in fact it WILL earn you some. This is why many people will gather a list of people they follow and upvote their work on a daily basis. These people will go to their FEED tab (it drops down in a menu when you click your personal icon found at the top right of the screen when you are logged in) and upvote everything their followers post. In case you don’t already know, the FEED tab displays everything that the people you are FOLLOWING have posted. New posts that you have not yet read are highlighted in bold.

I sincerely hope that this welcome message is valuable to you and encourage you to follow the link above for further information. I will be adding additional posts to my blog as I discover more about Steem and Steemit.com so if you wish to be notified about those new postings, I suggest following me.

Thanks for reading and I wish you success here on Steemit!

Thank you so much! Very helpful. Following you and look forward to your posts!
