Too Busy For Crypto

The Crypto Cycle

The Crypto Cycle is based primarily on Bitcoin "halvening", which occurs roughly every 4 years, and is hard coded into Bitcoin via block heights. The phrase "crypto cycle" has taken on secondary meanings, like the bull and bear market cycles in crypto. It is helpful to understand the Bitcoin inflation model and why it results in secondary effects, whether one is a crypto participant or not. In early 2025, HEX has undergone an indirect sort of halvening event through the staking mechanism. A couple larger issues to consider are: who has validation majority, and, how much of the total supply is active? If you are aware of everything I say in this episode, then you are far more aware than the average person.

About Wallet Loading and Linux Dashboard

What was meant to be a 1-2 minute housekeeping note turned into a 17+ minute episode. I discuss getting Internet Money Wallet to connect effectively to HEX Mining front end version 1.0.8. I also discuss loading the PulseChain Dashboard in Linux OS Ubuntu. If the most recent official front end for HEX Mining (version 1.0.8) is not loading lightning fast, and you are using an Internet Money Wallet, then try this: 1) go to wallet settings, change Disguise As Metamask to ON 2) DEACTIVATE the wallet extension in the chromium browser extension manager 3) reload the HEX front end page (could be IPFS weblink, or exe or via PulseChain Dashboard) 4) RE-ACTIVATE the wallet extension (already disguised as Metamask) 5) Connect wallet to HEX front end page and pick a public address to connect 6) Authorize to connect that public address in the wallet popup 7) HEX Mining page should load all historical data from the blockchain in a couple seconds. DONE. I talk through the above steps as I discover the page is not loading after I setup the Linux version of the PulseChain Dashboard. I talk through the Linux stuff because most people have no idea what is Linux or how to do anything with Linux. It is more involved than clicking an exe file but it is easy as far as Linux goes. My hope is that the housepet that is listening to this show by accident can get the most out of any time spent working on crypto tasks.

Community Links - PulseChain Dashboard

A talkthrough of downloading and using the PulseChain Dashboard, which is an unofficial community-created tool to that can operate locally, private and encrypted on your computer. View PulseChain information and run apps locally like the PulseChain Explorer, PulseChain Bridge, HEX Mining, and PulseX (Decentralized Exchange). Link: https://gitlab.com/pulsechain-lunagray/pulsechain-dashboard [https://gitlab.com/pulsechain-lunagray/pulsechain-dashboard] No Affiliation. Just a cool tool.

Community Links - HEX Scout

A quick talkthrough of what I see on the community-run site HEXscout. I also mention the browser extension wallet called Internet Money. The purpose of this episode is to point out a site that is a resource regarding HEX that is made by community members. I have no affiliation with anything I mention. I want people who are too busy for crypto to find useful information and then become more interested in making time for crypto. HEXscout is linked on the official HEX.com website as a front-end. Besides charts and education, you can find front-ends for an on-ramp, a DEX for swapping on Ethereum, a DEX for PulseChain, and a staking front end for either. I did not use these front ends, I just note they are there. The site indicates that HEX Scout intends to add features and host an app.

HEX and PulseChain Q&A

The purpose of this episode is to explain some aspects and benefits of the Pulsechain Network and also HEX, which exists on Pulsechain and Ethereum. Pulsechain is a faster, cheaper fork of Ethereum. A question-answer format like this is an approach to evaluate an opportunity. Cryptocurrency participation is inherently personal and should be considered from the vantage point of one person evaluating his options. To find instructions and tutorials, search youtube and also look at HEX.com or PulseChain.com to compare information and find links.
