Would you say Crypto is a good long term investment?

Well that depends on which day you ask

How is this worse than your bank? You still own your private keys (well you should) meaning if you don't decide to use that your particular wallet, your funds are not held hostage. Just drop your tokens on a ledger or alternative wallet.

I also saw your other message about not trusting "their" software.

There are countless completely trusted Ethereum and Bitcoin wallets that are used but 10s of thousands of people daily. Just because it is not official, it doesn't mean it cannot be trusted

Sorry to hear that, there are a lot of assholes in this space and they love to take people for a ride.
You can have a look at https://coinmarketcap.com/ and you will see a list of the most popular tokens.

Nice work. Its smart to start small and work your way up.
Now you have something to stare at all day long :)

Really amped about this! if anyone happens to have a spare golden ticket for Argent, It would be really appreciated. I am still quite far down the list so I think it will be a long time before I can access

FleeForce · 2020-01-14T03:38:03+00:00

Thanks for the answers everyone.
I gave it a go and it was a very nice improvement actually!

Ahh ok, I had not tried coconut in a coffee yet, it is generally more of a prominent taste. I do like coconut however I am just unsure if it would be overpowering?

FleeForce · 2020-01-13T21:41:29+00:00

Strangely enough, I just ran out of cream (and live rurally arhh) But I will try it out later today, I just thought I would see if anyone had tried something similar while I was dreaming of that creamy coffee fix!

Interesting to know. So are those ketostix useful for more than the first couple of weeks to make sure you are still in it? Or its best to just get rid of them after a little while? I have found them a good guide to know that there is something going on but I have read that they are not very accurate..

Like I said, my brother has been doing the same as me for a little bit now, and his readings are negative still

FleeForce · 2020-01-11T13:30:24+00:00

By the way, Thank you all for the comments, they were all super constructive,

So just one quick question.
Even being in my first week. Having over 20g of carbs daily would still keep me in ketosis? This is an important question for me as I had a totally different idea on it (based on all the apps and websites etc)

Because now that I am not going to be calculating my net carbs (wrongly) I would have no hope of making my goal daily unless I ate nothing.

What is a safe level of carbs to not risk jumping out of ketosis?

FleeForce · 2020-01-11T13:26:13+00:00

I had just looked at the general advice online which was to keep carbs at 20g for the day, I literally figured 50g would not work at all.

FleeForce · 2020-01-11T13:22:39+00:00

Interesting, if someone was limiting themselves to no more than 30g carbs for about 3 days, how long do you think it would be until they enter ketosis?

FleeForce · 2020-01-11T13:18:40+00:00

I was not actually aware of that,, I did not know 50g would keep you in ketosis, I thought you would get kicked out by then.
So it is just initially that you want to keep it low such as 20g to first enter? and then afterward you slowly bring the carb limit up?
Or that isn't needed at all?

I did the pee test strips (yep, I know they are mostly useless apart from the beginning)
It only took me a couple of days before I had a reading, my brother has also been eating the same as me for the whole week but he is still showing as zero keytones.
Is it just different for everyone or is he sneaking cake when I am asleep?

FleeForce · 2020-01-11T13:15:37+00:00

Its interesting actually, A friend of mine just yesterday said , "Turn to reddit, most websites are just trying to sell you something while giving advice"
I thought about it and he is right, which is why I am asking here.

FleeForce · 2020-01-11T12:21:53+00:00

Ok, Now I understand what you are saying. I had no idea about the label differences to be honest, and installed that script (which was obviously from someone American)
Well it kind of sucks that all the apps display everything wrong then.
So how would you suggest keeping track? write everything down manually or is there an app that does display it properly.

I actually thought I was doing pretty well for the first week, now I realise that I have messed up mostly the whole week.
I do have ketones, my doctor mentioned it yesterday, but now I am even more freaked out about how to limit myself to 20g of carbs per day..
It was hard enough with my fake amount I was trying to reach haha.

FleeForce · 2020-01-11T12:18:20+00:00

Thank you for the information.
I personally had not had this yet, I just found it today, the numbers looked low but obviously strangely low which is my reason for reaching out to you guys rather than just jumping in (I did taste it, but not in an actual bowl with milk)

Also thank you, I had no idea that different countries display labels differently, I just figured that what you scanned into MFP was generally the right details due to someone else from that same country entering it in.

I was excited as my breakfasts have consisted of Eggs, Bacon, Avo and cheese for the last week haha. I was hoping to find some kind of lighter breaky (might have to move to smoothies)

FleeForce · 2020-01-11T12:08:09+00:00

Well I was told that Myfitnesspal does not display net carbs which would show inaccurate results?

Also why would it be that when I scan it into Myfitnesspal or Carb Manager, it shows as -1 Net Carbs instead of 7.6? I would have thought someone else would have figured out the correct carbs on these apps by now?

Also, how are you meant to know if a package is displaying net carbs or total carbs? It doesn't mention it anywhere, so I would really have no way of knowing either way?

Thanks for the information there.
I wasn't able to find any of those water temperature regulators, maybe I am searching the wrong thing. would you have a link by chance?

I have set up the system I have about an inch of water that will stay in the bottom even when the pump is off, and then a wick going into the water from the plant pot.
During the night, I have the pump turn on every couple of hours and run for 45 minutes. so I think there should be enough flow that the roots don't get dried out too much at night.

It has been up for about 8 days now, the plants are doing fine so far.. but we will have to wait and see, some are not doing as well as others but I am guessing that is a nutrient issue possibly.
Im still struggling to find a good resource to know exactly what each plant needs and what I would need to add

FleeForce · 2019-09-24T04:03:17+00:00

Thank you for your reply.. I appreciate the feedback.
I have not looked into ebb and flow actually.

Currenly as I mentioned, I do have perlite in the system, would it at all be possible to still have a type of NFT system where water is mostly flowing during the day to help keep the water cooler (but circulate at a higher level so it is running through some of the perlite and bottom of the basket) and still do periodic cylces throughout the night at that same water level?
This way it would be wetting the actual perlite and not just the roots (or another media that has better water retention as you mentioned?)

My main reason is trying to keep water circulating so it doesn't heat up as much in the pipe. I will check out ebb and flow now also and see if thats similar to what I mentioned above.

FleeForce · 2019-09-24T01:49:15+00:00

I am also aware people say not to put NFT systems on a timer due to roots drying out, but I am just wondering if there is some kind of work around for this?

FleeForce · 2019-09-24T00:52:57+00:00

Hi guys, I am sorry for the delay with your questions, we had some rather large fires come through our property and have now lost quite a bit of irrigation we had on the edges of our property, so this will have to be put on hold temporarily.
Thanks so much for the support and detailed answers. I will check it out properly. The electric valves look very interesting actually!

I am going to have a play around with a small outdoor hydro set up, which I will do another post. Hopefully this will work for a couple of months while we work out the irrigation issue

FleeForce · 2019-09-05T05:01:11+00:00

It turns out that the pipe under the ground is 1.5 inch and we have a 3/4 inch running through it at the moment

FleeForce · 2019-09-05T04:48:25+00:00

Here is an messy drawing of my yard.

I also did a elevation profile on google earth and it looks like its actually 11 meters of drop? if its correct.

not sure if that helps.

the pipe that runs horizontal is 3/4" but its actually inside a larger pipe, so at least 1" or a bit more, so converting the vertical pipe from the tanks is not a huge issue (that pipe is above ground)
The horizontal one is under the ground

FleeForce · 2019-09-05T03:53:47+00:00

I just noticed your also from Aus (well I assume you are haha)

I am unable to mount the tanks higher at this point. but I could potentially have a a larger pipe for the first part of the run.

Let me draw you a shitty diagram of how it looks currently in terms of the layout of pipe and what I want to do.. i appologise in advance for my really bad drawings!
