Atomic Wallet Sucks

-


This screenshot was taken of the balance of Tron, staked and unstaked, on my Atomic Wallet.  Besides the fact that the Tron "Pending withdrawal" were never successfully withdrawn, notice that there is no way the amount of Tron in any of the categories, (Available, Staked, Unclaimed, Pending; "Total Votes" relates to something else), add up to 926. 

Yet another cryptocurrency that fails to be handled properly by the Atomic Wallet interface.

This was the fourth crypto that Atomic Wallet choked on, after Cosmos, Cardano, and Monero.  Fortunately, just like its predecessors I was able to successfully move my Tron off this Atomic Wallet using the private keys.  

Which brings me to a point that I must grudgingly admit, namely, that easy access to each crypto's private keys is a good feature of this wallet.  It's just a shame that we need access to them in the first place.

I am gradually moving whatever little bits of crypto are left on my Atomic Wallet off to another wallet, in my case Exodus.  Obviously I would NOT recommend anyone to use Atomic Wallet.  Chose Exodus or some other battle tested general purpose crypto wallet instead.  Unless, like me, you want to fuss around with moving your crypto via private keys.

Disclaimer: To be fair, Cosmos sucks, so it is no disgrace to Atomic Wallet that it choked on one of its many frivolous updates.  Even my Trust Wallet had a problem with Cosmos once upon a time.  Play with a stupid crypto; win stupid prizes.

Cryptocurrency Opportunities via Coinpot.co

Oh good grief!  Nevermind ..... Coinpot.co turned out to be a scam! Moral of the story: be very, very, VERY careful who you send money to on the internet!! Great news!  The folks over at Coinpot.co  have recently implemented a " VIP Rewards " program!  Now in addition to accumulating crypto via faucet drips , we can also earn a nice rate of return. For those of you unfamiliar with Coinpot, it is a cryptocurrency microwallet , (IMHO the BEST cryptocurrency microwallet), which as I've already stated allows us to accumulate tiny amounts of cryptocurrency via faucet drips.  What is a "faucet drip"?  It is simply the small payout we get from visiting a cryptocurrency faucet .   Following, (copied from my cryptocurrency page ), are some direct links to the Coinpot faucets: Bitfun.co – a great Coinpot faucet that can pay as frequently as every three minutes. Moonbit.co.in – Coinpot Bitcoin faucet. Moonbitcoin.cash – Coinpot Bitcoin Cash faucet. Mo...

The Man Who Cast His Memories To The Stars

-

He was an older guy, overweight, who walked slowly with a cane.  Most clear nights he could be found sitting on a park bench after sunset, slumping over the back of the bench and tilting his head backwards to look at the darkening sky. Curiosity got the better of me one evening, so I walked up to him and asked him what he was looking for up there in the emptiness.   He smiled back at me, and replied, "I'm not looking for anything, young man." My quizzical look prompted him to add, "I'm casting my memories to the stars."  Evidently he believed that he could "preserve" the pleasant memories of his life by mentally sending them out into space.   I didn't ask him how he thought such a thing could possibly work, but instead asked him if he were preserving all his memories, or just the pleasant ones. He scoffed at such a stupid question.  "Of course not!  Sad, unhappy, painful memories: they are all cast into the pit of oblivion, where they belo...

John Waters Saved My Life!

John Mathew Smith & www.celebrity-photos.com from Laurel  Maryland, USA / CC BY-SA (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0) John Waters saved my life! Not literally, of course, although perhaps literarily: his book Carsick reawakened a sense of purpose and adventure in me that I had been letting atrophy through neglect.  In my long career as a COBOL computer programmer I spent too many years spent digging through old, brittle computer code for stifling bureaucracies , I suppose, and lost my sense of amazement at this crazy circus we call life. Sometimes the best expression of responsibility is to behave irresponsibly. The second huge way this book was a blessing from God was that it rescued me from my feeble attempts to sell crap from Clickbank and other bottom dwelling "affiliate marketplaces".  Fortunately, I suppose, (although I'm not proud or moral enough to refuse the money), I have yet to sell anything from Clickbank or its imitators, so I'm no...
