Storm Play App
So this will be my first blog on CryptoCurrencies. I found an app that pays when you have enough tokens for a payout. I know that in terms of mining and investing this method does not really give much to anyone. However, for people looking to get a grasp on some crypto this may be worth some people's time.
First of all the app is called "Storm Play". You try to earn Bolts in one of 2 ways:
- You collect 500 bolts every 30 minutes by watching a short add and answering a basic math question (ie. 2 x 10)
- You complete one of the offers (ie. Download and play an app or sign up for a service)
Once enough bolts are collected you can then convert the bolts to 3 different currencies.
These Currencies are STORM, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.
Currently you must have a minimum of 187,500 Bolts to withdraw for STORM, 4,375,000 Bolts for Bitcoin, or 300,000 Bolts for Ethereum
You will notice that you get a 20% Bonus by withdrawing STORM. Currently the only issue I can find with STORM is there is not an easy way to exchange STORM for a "better" currecncy such as Ethereum or Bitcoin. I am not saying it isn't possible I just have not found a way to do it.
In order to withdraw, you must have a Bitcoin or Ethereum wallet that is connected to a Coinbase account, or a STORM wallet or Jaxx STORM Wallet. In order to test out if the app was working I did a few app offers to quickly get to 700,000 Bolts and withdrew to my Coinbase Ethereum Wallet. Within 3 days I received my reward!!!
I am not saying that this was a lot of Ethereum (only 0.00308485 ETH) but they stuck to their word and proved that they are in fact a legit app that will payout.
Now a notice to some skeptics of CryptoCurrencies or people that are afraid to invest real money in Crypto.
I completely understand that people think of Crypto as not real money. The issue is that people have made real money by converting their Crypto to cash when they had the chance. Now I am a bit of a skeptic myself and do not think it a good use of my money to throw even $1000 towards Crypto. So here is my plan:
- Mine or get Crypto from reliable sources (Such as Storm Play)
- Once I have enough, put those Crypto towards a cloud mining contract ( Such as Minergate, I know many people don't like Minergate but they are honest business)
- Then let others mine for me.
This method is time consuming and the return on investment is quite poor. But I do not expect Crypto to allow me to retire in my 20's. I just see it as a way of possibly making some extra money a month that could either buy things I want or help pay some Student Loans.
My actual plan is to convert everything to Monero (XMR) and then cloud mine on Minergate. You don't have to like this idea but my hope is that I would get something started and then when mining Monero is no longer worth it, cash out and find a new Crypto to mine in a similar way. It may take awhile but what would start with no real monetary investment would hopefully turn into a few hundred dollars extra a month.
On a closing note, I believe Storm Play is currently only available on the Google Play Store (Sorry Apple Users)
If you are more interested on my ideas with Crypto please feel free to leave me a comment so I can write some more detailed articles on what I have tried and seen. Also if you are interested in trying Storm Play please use my referral code: FN3N24
