First Responders Update
Please may I remind the first responders, that to be a legitimate first responder you need to be first and upvote, so while madstacks was being first he did not upvote.
So from now on if you are first and upvote thats fine, but if you are first and do not upvote the first person that up votes next wins, this is to make it fair to all.
Yup if I comment I upvote - I have upvoted every single post i have been first (along with other videos I just commented on not first), and I haven't just done it after reading this post, I have done it from the start. This can be verified on "incoming votes" on steemstats so please have a look britcoin and you can see i voted on all straight away ...its the least that can be done on my side:)
I may respectfully bow out of this comp though, I think it might make me ill and I have a pain in my chest this morning, i am assuming from anxiety - If I put the time in I am confident I am in the running to win, but at what cost.
I am sure the competition was never designed to be so competitive, but put a prize worth £500 and its going to end up that way no matter what, a lot of skint stackers out there, myself included.
Britcoin your comps are TOO generous - you are a legend in the stacking community, I very much doubt anything like what you are doing will be seen again. maximum respect.
Good luck to all who enter, If i am online and see a new post I may have a go but I am going to take more of a back seat approach for sure:)
yep, i dont have a single gold coin, just dont have any spare money to invest, with a family that always needs i have to stick with silver for now, until i get a better job, minimum wage sucks!
I know them feels bro, I work from home on a bit less than minimum wage (thats why I am able to reply so fast lol) but don't worry you can one day get some gold:) are you on the silver forum? they have a very active trade section and you will be able to swap silver for gold if you can both work out an agreeable price:)
Good advice there, Madstacks.
I might do that myself some day when I get more knowledgeable about Sovereigns and if some of my silver turns out to be sought-after. I was going to start on fractional Britannia gold until then, but considering her new design.. eh that plan can wait a little while and buy a slightly bigger piece later on.
The fractional Britannias are lovely, particularly the 2003 design 1/10 gold, have a look at this video i made where i literally put her under the microscope, the detail around the eye is incredible for such a small coin
Wow. Are they using lasers to engrave some of that?
I have to say I was afraid that fractionals, especially gold, would lose detail because of the size and the softness of the metal. Glad that's not necessarily the case. Thanks for sharing.
To be fair that particular design takes up the whole coin with her face so it does have better detail, but they are really impressive, the fractional are so small but big enough to appreciate:)
I was shocked to learn the difference in premiums, even on fractionals, between gold and silver. On Hatton Garden metals you see prices like "silver +25%" but then "Gold +2%" or 3 or 4 for fancier things.
I'm feeling way more confident about stacking some.
your ok madstacks everything stands no problem
I seem to always be just a bit late for the first posts. Oh well, good to give some one else a chance to win something. I'm powering up my vote right now so I should be up voting again by tomorrow.
so is that why when i vote its not adding any money, i need to recharge? do i just stop voting for a bit to let it power up or do i have to do something?
I use steemnow.com to see live data on my up vote power. It works better than any of the other sites I've found. In the upper right corner put your user name in and click "save". Check it out, a lot of neat live data you can find there.
First, upvoted!
That's a fair point.
you said you were going to bed, you were trying to trick me! :)
Sorry! I got distracted by Jimmy Kimmel doing an unboxing of Trump merchandise xD. G'night!
Not first but upvoted
I'm going to bed. Good luck everyone!
