Hi everyone, my name is Paul and I live in the UK . The photo is a picture of me and my grandsons on holiday in Spain. I'm 62 years old, 63 in a couple of months time, so I guess I'm one of the older members of Ecency.
I have been online since the mid '90s, so I'm quite Internet savvy. However there are quite a few things online that I don't have a clue about, including block chain and cryptocurrency. I once downloaded a desktop app that was supposed to 'mine' cryptocurrency. I didn't understand it so I fairly quickly uninstalled it.
I hadn't even heard of Ecency or Hive until yesterday and that was really by mistake. I happened to click on a link to an article on here, that was posted on a Discord channel I'm a member of, and found myself here. So I signed up.
I wasn't sure what I was doing after I signed up. I knew the app rewards people for writing posts and voting and commenting on other people's posts. So that's what I did, only to find I suddenly couldn't do anything on here because I no longer had any resource credits! I had no idea that it costs credits to interact. Thankfully someone on the Ecency Discord channel helped me out.
I have belonged to similar sites to this in the past, but they had nothing to do with blockchain. I am quite keen on producing A.I music and art. There are a few apps I use for artwork and one in particular for creating music. Here is a picture I created on Night Cafe using the text prompt 'I'm not sure what I am doing '
I have no idea how Night Cafe came up with this image or what it is, but I think it's quite cool.
So that's a bit about me and how I arrived in the wonderful world of Ecency. I'm really unsure about how all this works at the moment, but hopefully I'll Learn.
