A very quick update today, because there is a fair bit of news out there! Firstly, Poloniex, one of the exchanges that has been around a while has been purchased. When I started in Crypto in the middle of 2017 it was one of the more well respected exchanges with a decent amount of volume.…
One of the things i've been reading a fair bit about in the last few days is technical analysis (TA). Obviously this is a massive subject with 100+ years of techniques and strategies to get your head around. However one of the things that has really stood out to me recently is the need to…
Now for part two... Clarinet Remarkably I've managed to play something every day this year! That's even including the trip to the US I made a couple of weeks back for work. So all in all that's going well. We've got a few dates in the diary for the wind quintet and I've got…
Given that we're now 50 days into 2018 that means a little over a 7th of the year has gone already! With that in mind I thought that it was about time to look back at my aims and check on progress. After all, without measurement a goal is less likely to be met. Work…

It seems that the recent surge in the LTC price has come because of a promised fork that will occur at block 1371111 which is likely to be mined sometime on Sunday 18th February. The new coin will be LCC and you will get 10 for every 1 LTC you hold. As with some of…
It seems since I was last heavily active on social media, things have moved on a bit! There are a lot more channels that people are using, which makes me wonder how on earth content creators manage to participate on all of them! Anyhow, on the plus side from my point of view, Facebook and…
One of the things that I like about Blockchain is the potential to change the way things work. For right now I have to manage tons of identities across physical and digital worlds. As the physical and digital worlds coalesce and we move into an existence which is a mixture of both (augmented reality) there…
Just a quick note today. I wanted to get my ICX and PIVX off the Binance exchange and into wallets where I control the keys. Actually it turned out to be dead simple, but here are a couple of quick tips if you're trying. Firstly ICX (ICON); this is currently an ERC20 token on the…
