Many of my friends have asked me how they can get started buying bitcoin and other digital assets, so I wrote this article, Crypto Quick Start Guide For Bitcoin & Genesis Network (GENX), on Medium to get them started.

https://medium.com/@sonofabitcoin01/crypto-quick-start-guide-for-bitcoin-genesis-network-genx-3c79483f265f?fbclid=IwAR3k2AJNd1Rf30Pu7dIQC7-TDQg-JA0gQakQXSK2MTQSs-gPKqZqVwNj72g

Another great airdrop from the Genesis team: 9,250 GENX in my wallet. Well done.

I would back up your wallet first, just to be safe.

Click File
Click Backup Wallet
Give it a name, such as genxbackup10.3.18, and save it to your USB flash drive or whatever you normally use, hopefully encrypted with Veracrypt or something similar.

Then just download the new wallet like you did the last version, and your coins should show up in the new updated wallet with no problems. Mine did.  

PS. And your private key should've been dumped since day one.

New GENX wallet mandatory upgrade is now available.

Genesis Official v2.0.2 is released!

https://github.com/genesisofficial/genesis/releases/tag/v2.0.2

Changelog:
Fix English translation issue
Merge 0.16.3 BTC codebase (mandatory bug fix)

This is a MANDATORY upgrade!

These are the rules and tasks for AD5 straight from the Genesis Discord channel. These are easy to complete, and the rewards are very big. And considering the huge rewards for those with high balances, and the fact that the price of GENX is low right now, everyone should be on https://tradesatoshi.com buying as much GENX as possible before the price goes up.

Okay, thanks, Jimmybob 007!

I will do that. Thanks, brother!

That's what is so perplexing about this, the EWBF miner says I'm at 20 Sol/s right now. And the PoolofD32th graph shows that I'm up and down from an average of 9.16 to 36.21 Sols/s. But I keep reading about how I should be at 450 Sols/s. I wonder if I've set the virtual memory to wrong settings, like I saw on this one video, or would that even make a difference? Hmm?

Good morning. GENX is the first coin I've ever mined. I usually just buy coins and stake those that are POS.

I'm using the following to mine GENX:

1. One (1) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 OC with 8GB GDDR5

2. 8th Generation Intel Core i7-8750H (6-Core, 9MB Cache, up to 4.1GHz w/ Turbo Boost)

3. 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 2666MHz

4. Windows 10 Pro

I'm having a lot of fun mining GENX, but I don't have a clue what I'm doing.

I've downloaded MSI Afterburner to overclock this card, and I figured out how to edit the config file to unlock the Core Voltage, but I cannot figure out how to unlock the power and temp limit and fan speed. I've watched so many conflicting YouTube videos, I don't know what to think.

I'm not a computer programmer, just a regular schmuck who won't stop until I figure it out.

I started out mining about 600 GENX a day but after fiddling around with the Afterburner settings that aren't locked for a few weeks I'm now mining about 1,400 GENX a day.

While I'm happy about that big increase in GENX, in the back of my mind I keep wondering if I've got a gozillion dollar electricity bill coming in the mail.  

Show your support for PRiVCY and sign up for the Testament/PRiVCY Decibel Metal & Beer Fest: Los Angeles contest at http://testamentlegions.com/privcy. The first prize just got even bigger, and there are two more big prizes!

A very professional and interesting project with a solid plan. And if themonkii's involved there are good people behind this.

I've read some comments from people about the Testament/PRiVCY Decibel Metal & Beer Fest: Los Angeles contest and most of them are positive but a few people are confused and missing the boat with it.

Even if they're not a Testament fan or even a heavy metal music fan, I wonder if they've stopped to think about the high value of those 3 prizes. The third prize (an autographed collection of Testament CDs, vinyl and DVDs) is worth hundreds of dollars.

The second prize (an autographed 20 ft x 10 ft or 6 x 3 meters banner of their The Formation of Damnation album cover used on many of their tours) originally cost the band $2,000.00 USD. Autographed and used on tour, it's quite the collectible that is worth even more if auctioned off online.  



And, well, the grand prize speaks for itself. The Decibel Metal & Beer Fest: Los Angeles is going to be the 2-day beer party of the year in Los Angeles, and the winner and their guest will be VIP all through it.

First Prize Package (for the winner AND their guest)

1.   Free meet-and-greet and photos with all five members of TESTAMENT and a pre-show dinner with Chuck Billy and Eric Peterson
2.   Two (2) free tickets for both festival days and includes free beer tasting ($300.00 retail value)
3.   Two (2) special commemorative TESTAMENT/PRiVCY jackets featuring a unique TESTAMENT/PRiVCY graphic design
4.   Two (2) special VIP backstage passes
5.   The winner and their guest will watch the TESTAMENT show from a special VIP area
6.   $100.00 worth of beer tickets to sample the many awesome craft beers on sale

And the other thing that some people seem to be confused about is buying PRIV to enter the contest. By the time the winner of the contest is announced on November 14, the price of PRIV could be much higher than what they paid for it to join the contest. So the winners will not only have won the prize but will own PRIV worth more than what they paid for it. And they can either sell that PRIV for a profit or keep it and watch it grow in value more. This is a no-brainer.

And even if they don't win the contest, they will still most likely have made money from the price increase of the PRIV!

And on August 20, PRiVCY will become an official sponsor of the Decibel Metal & Beer Fest: Los Angeles and their logo will go on that festival poster, so EVERYONE should be signing up for this contest and supporting PRiVCY coin!

Official contest and promotional agreement press release at Adrenaline PR: http://www.adrenalinepr.com/thrash-legends-testament-forge-into-the-world-of-cryptocurrency-with-privcy-coin/

Everyone should be signing up for this contest at http://testamentlegions.com/privcy!
