RE: “Oops!!! I Did it Again!” E.D.I.F. - Round 33
haha! Howdy sir dandays! Wow what an ugly fish dude! Is that the ugliest dinner plate in the world? Is that what you're trying to do here? Lots of people couldn't eat that because of the extreme ugliness. But hey if it was delicious then that's what matters especially for fff right?
The stray animals everywhere is funny, I didn't think there would be a herd of cattle on the beach for some reason though! lol. That's pretty cool, you just have to watch your step wherever you go. From lots of animals.
So that huge hollowed out log was laying in the road, close to the middle of what they call a road? and when do things like that ever get moved? Do they have a road department? lol.
Thank you sir dandays for another highly entertaining post! Also informational too. I suppose that's important.
Janton! Hello, sir, happy Thursday to you, on a scale of 1-10, how’s that new computer? I sure am glad you find my articles entertaining, thank you! I really appreciate that.
We’ve found ourselves more and more mobile these past days and I haven’t been getting back to people regularly—sorry about that. I’ve been practicing staying off my phone, I haven’t cut out a whole lot of phone time, but it’s a start! 👍🏿
Oh sure, there’s a road department but they would probably only come out if something was obstructing the road and it’s impossible to get around or over it. That one in the picture was off to the side of the road quite a bit.
I never expected to see a herd of bulls on the beach—nope! I never imagined that one. You ain’t kidding about watch your step!! On the real touristy beaches where they have horse back riding and stuff all day, oh dude, watch your step!
Nah, it doesn’t have to taste good, picture good, be good, none of that for #fff, that’s too many rules. Extreme ugliness? A big huge lol right here: “LOL.”
Thanks for stopping by @janton.
howdy tonight sir dandays! there should be some kind of award for something that ugly don't you think? I mean just for fff, since so many dishes are fabulous works of art and fff is different than the typical food group.
So you are trying not to spend so much time on the phone these days? That has been a problem for you? I mean, you sound like a recovering phone addict or something.
But you've been more mobile which is good, that means you guys are out searching right? Don't worry about getting back to me real fast. The more things people are doing the less I expect them to get back to me. Or the higher in steemit because they have so many people to talk to. You know how it is when you reach those kind of heights. lol..just teasing, I haven't reached much at all.
MY new computer? Well I don't require much so it's a ten for me at this point. As long as I can have three browsers and many tabs open in each one and it's still smooth and fast that's all I need. So you have something to post tomorrow of course, have you posted anything else that I need to know about? The last one I saw but haven't got to you were saying you were the luckiest guy in the world referring to the Missus I assume?
It is a different kind of food blog isn’t it? I dig it! I have to adapt each week cuz I’m not a chef, obviously, I’m always wingin it in Friday—like an improv kinda! 🤔
Three browsers?! What in the ? Did you know I do everything with my phone, this right now, everything. Is it weird we don’t have a computer?
That’s what I meant by ‘not spending time on the phone.’ Writing, editing, edit some more, rearrange something.... yeah, now I just talk about what I’m not doing I guess.
Heights? I’m still reaching for 60, Janton! You’re running away with the rep score.
Eh, while I have you, once you told me you’ve never u followed someone? You said that once, right?
edit hence the off the wall random typos.
Howdy again sir dandays! No it's not weird if you don't have a computer if you can do everything on the phone. I don't use my phone, I like big screens and real keyboards. Three browsers plus using the esteem app. I like different things on each one, Chrome, IE and Firefox.
The rep score will increase faster when you hit 60. Don't ask me why or how. I think they intentionally make 59 a sticking point that takes forever and a day to get past!
No I don't see a need to unfollow anyone. But I get unfollowed alerts everyday, like I just got one today. Do you? Plus 15 or 20 downvotes from the bots.
Hey Janton, good morning! Happy Friday to you, sir, you and Mrs. J, God bless her! I hope she has a great day and I hope this is your favorite Friday of the year. Shoot! I’d better get to working on a contender.
I’m going to address you other message real quick—yes, I only use my phone and my eyes get to hurting sometimes. One of these days, when I’m not so mobile (if that day ever areives), maybe I’ll invest in a laptop or something.
About unfollowing people and flags. I just checked your account, I didn’t see any flags on you for a couple days?? That’s too bad anyway, I get’em one at a time, here and there but nothing like 20. How long ago was that happening to you? Hopefully it’s stopped now. No, I don’t typically get people unfollowing me, a rarety in the past, maybe one ever other month or so but my follower coun has actually been rising lately. I was real stagnant for awhile but there seems to be a little more action on the blockchain these days. But, man! I’ve clicked the unfollow button several times! Some people feeds I just didn’t like seeing after I clicked follow on them—maybe one article grabbed my attention but then they’re repeats after that or something? <— that’s just an example but, for whatever reason, I’ve had many times where I clicked the unfollow tab.
I just noticed your articles are worth $20-$30 thanks to ocdb, Congratulations! What’s that all about?!
howdy sir dandays! yes I keep getting the downvotes, just yesterday I counted between 15 and 20, nice thing to see first thing in the morning! lol. No it is just a bot war between fulltimegeek and bernie. When ftg visited the Engagement League and decided to reward some of the top engagers by putting his upvote bots on our comments, as you well know when that happened..then bernie's automatically went to work to negate those. So a bunch of us are in the middle of a bot vote battle.
That's all that is, an automatic thing.
In regards to ocdb, yes I just started buying votes like everyone else because I was tired of them sky-rocketing past me in rep! lol. I noticed that they all were getting these huge votes from ocdb and that's how they were growing their accounts. And I thought it was because they were doing great or were real popular.
No, like my little account. without buying votes I make under $2 usually. It's gotten to the point where the only way to grow your account is to buy votes because even big accounts have votes only worth a few cents or maybe 10 cents. So you have to buy them and it's dang expensive because it don't make much difference unless you spend like 30 steem or more. They return about 110% in sp though so it's worth it.
You go onto the ocdb and practically ALL the leaders are using it and that's how they're growing so fast. Many of them are spending 50 to 100 steem every single day! lol. I would still be stuck at rep60 or 61 if it wasn't for ocdb but it's all fake too so it cheapens the rep rating system. It's just buying your rep score.
In order to buy the votes you have to be Whitelisted by ocdb. They used to just find people and whitelist them but then they went to a nomination system whereby a person is nominated and they go look at their account and if they like what they see then they whitelist you.
So in other words, I don't know if you'll ever qualify sir dandays..but it's a nice dream to have. lol! of course I'm teasing, you'll be qualified instantly. BUT, they temporarily suspended nominations. I think they're starting them back up soon though. If you're interested in this fake growth scheme. I plan to grow slow now, I just wanted to get to rep65. Besides I used up all my steem! lol.
the other huge votes I see people getting are from Blocktrades but I haven't found out what they are or how they operate.
Janton! Good afternoon, sir! About the war thing, sorry you’re in the middle of that.
I’ve never done that. I have no clue how any of it even works. A long time ago I can remember a couple of times a vote was bought for me and they left a message on my post. Are the rep scores actually valuable?
What do you mean “like my little account?”
Hey I’m not a blocktrades dev or share holder, I’m just a client—for the record. I’m a huge fan of theirs! Super simple to use exchange is what they are. Apparently they’re a fan of nice art and writings and other stuff that you and I like, that’s cool, they have generous Upvotes 😉 but they’re actually an exchange, blocktrades.us, works like shapeshift. Nice rates and blocktrades exchanges your other currencies into Steem, directly into your Steemit wallet.
That’s actually how I did our car transaction when the guy had part USD and part BTC. I had him send his BTC to @dandays, through blocktrades. I instantly received Steem.
I hope I explained that well enough. Alright, sir, I’m going to try to put together a good fight now.
howdy sir dandays! haha! yes I know all about Blocktrades being the exchange. It would be pretty hard to get anything done here without them.
I just don't know how they work their votes do you? is it strictly random choices? Because that's what ocdb did and still does I think, but then they have this whole other upvoting section. So I thought Blocktrades may have done the same thing.
"like everyone else" refers to everyone who is sky-rocketing in rep and growth. My little account is one of the smallest that I've seen in terms of sp. Most people have from 2,000 to 10K or more. I haven't even reached 2K yet. So I have almost no voting power. In fact, just to keep voting a measly one cent vote I have to spend alot of steem every month just to keep voting and I do that by leasing sp.
What's on the agenda for this weekend?
