    Wild garlic foraging

    Seems to me that the sudden mass interest in Cyrptocurrency has totally swamped the trading platforms & exchanges over the last couple of weeks grinding them to a halt. I sent my verification docs to Bitstamp last week as I wanted to buy a few quid of Ripple but have heard nothing from them.

    $500!!! Starting to look like a rich mans game. I might have to seek a cheaper alternative. I looked into buying Etherium yesterday but the minimum amount I could buy was £44 and there seems to be a shortage of sellers, still considering it though as I'd like to have a little Etherium, Ripple &...

    Not yet. As I say I'm still testing Etorro with virtual funds before putting money in. I'm down about £150 from last night on my Bitcoin wallet holdings but that's par for the course and i would expect it to go back up again on past trends. Just read about Crypto kittens (Etherium collectables)...

    Well since my first post on this thread I have to admit that I've not put any more money into cryptocurrency as yet although playing with the virtual money on Etorro I would by now have definitely made money if I'd gambled on the rising price of the top cryptocurrencies over the last couple of...

    An interesting article. Not sure it's the way it will go but definitely thought provoking. https://www.perrymarshall.com/48074/bitcoin-nuclear-winter/

    Not sure what's going on but Bitcoin rocketing over the last few days and still accelerating. Must be a large correction coming, surely.

    Thanks for the information RickyRaj. I've set up an eTorro account & I'm just using the virtual $100,000 dollars to see how much profit/loss is on various markets before I think about putting real money in. In the short term I've been using it the biggest upward mover is definitely Bitcoin...

    How's eTorro working out RickyRaj? I was considering moving from just holding cryptocurrency to speculation. I presume that you can set sell triggers once your chosen cryptocurrency hits a set price? What are the fees like? Can you buy/sell on multiple exchanges giving a chance for arbitrage...

    Making cheap Rose wine (For the homebrewers amongst you)

    Hi Topaz I've made mead a few times over the years. Yeah it takes about 4 years to come good. Lovely stuff . I've been brewing for 35 years now but mead is not cost effective anymore due to the prohibitive cost (You need about 4 pound in weight per gallon). Got loads of fruit trees so make plum...

    Making cheap Rose wine (For the homebrewers amongst you)

    I've been making a far bit of wine from supermarket juice lately. Saves a fair bit of money & is quite palatable. Mainly using this recipe from an online forum I follow. After you have forked out your initial outlay for your yeast, nutrient, Pectolase which comes in large pots so can be used for...

    The way new Bitcoins come into existence is through mining which involves hefty computational power to solve complex mathematical puzzles. There are around 16 million Bitcoins mined so far & 21 million is the total amount that can be mined. Bitcoins can be broken down into several decimal...

    There are many security measures you can activate to increase security when you set your wallet up. They go way beyond the measures that online banking seem to employ. I've never had any problems but there have been instances of exchanges being hacked. As with everything do your homework & don't...

    That's up to you. I don't use the App but access the wallet through my PC. Blockchain.info seems to be the most popular wallet.
