  • I’m going on an (AWESOME) adventure… Hello Put Foot Rally 2018

    I’m going on an (AWESOME) adventure… Hello Put Foot Rally 2018

    Towards the middle of last year, 2 of my mates came to me and said “We’ve booked our tickets to go on Put Foot Rally 2018, and you coming with”
    Naturally, the answer was YES. I had heard about Put Foot Rally when it first started and Mike Sharman went on it. I knew that one day it was something I HAD to do, but didn’t ever plan it. Until last year :) And Team 22 Bosfark was born

    So next week Friday, the 15th June, we embark on this amazing journey. The event start on the 16th in Melkbos with a huge registration party, before teams leave the next morning bright and early to get to their first destination.
    The beauty of Put Foot is that you don’t have to follow a specific route, and it’s up to you to get to the next checkpoint in each country.

    The countries that you visit are Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Malawi & Mozambique. (Our semi-planned route is here) All over an 18 day drive through Southern Africa.

    The highlight of the trip being the checkpoint in Zambia where we will be donating over 2000 pairs of school shoes to kids in Zambia. Each team (this year there are 16 teams!!!) had to raise funds to get the shoes specially made from a company in South Africa.

    We decided from the start we wanted to enter the vintage class, which as to be a car from before 1994. After checking out a couple of cars, we came across an awesome 1984 230E Mercedes Benz, which was in a great condition and price. We purchased it on the spot, and had our chariot sorted.

    After many months of planning, getting th car sorted, getting a roof rack made, we are 10 days away from hitting the road.
    You will be able to track us live on the Put Foot Rally website – http://www.putfootrally.com and we will also be documenting our journey on our Instagram Page (@BosFarkPutFoot) as well as Facebook

    I’ll also do a full blog post once we have done our trip (who knows might even do 1 or 2 while we on the road)

    So looking forward to this…

  • How to invest in the Firelotto ICO Blockchain Crypto Lottery (FLOT Token)

    How to invest in the Firelotto ICO Blockchain Crypto Lottery (FLOT Token)

    I came across a new ICO doing the round this morning, called , which is “Blockchain Crypto Lottery” a looks really exciting. For those of you that don’t know what an ICO is, it stands for Initial Coin Offering, and allows you to buy a part of a project/company with Cryptocurrency (Usually ETH or BTC)
    You are usually issued with a token of sorts, which you can then keep or sell at a later stage. Most of the time these tokens get listed on an exchange like or , and as demand increase so does your initial investment

    So I have “invested” in 2 ICO’s so far. The first one was for a company called , which is an influencer platform, with over 350,000 influencers and they launched an ICO to help pay their influencer quicker. I will be doing a separate blog post on that in the near future.

    Then today I came across another ICO that looks pretty exciting. It’s called , and is basically an Ethereum based blockchain lotto. The system allows you to buy lotto tickets using your ETH, and then payouts are made almost instantly. The lotto market is HUGE and even bigger online.

    The ICO allows you to buy a Token called a FLOT. This allows you to be part of the  platform, but more importantly it allows you to a share of the revenue to collected. So 10% of all ETH received for the Lotto sales is distributed among the token holders. This means you will continually receive a payback from the lotto sales. Another great feature they have recently implemented is 15% referral fee for all new token holder sign ups. Also a nice simple way to make some extra $. You can read the full Whitepaper (a document explaining what the whole project is about) here -> https://firelotto.io/whitepaper_en.pdf

    The biggest thing for me though was that they actually have a working product that is launched and is generating revenue. Generally ICO’s are sold before products are launched and you are basically putting your money into something that isn’t there. So that is a big plus! The results of the Lotto’s are also transparent and stored on the blockchain. The code is also publicly available making it very transparent.

    will offer three lottery draws: 4/20 (4 picks from 20 possible numbers), 5/36 and 6/45. For the largest 6/45 lottery, the jackpot has a fixed minimum amount of 3,000 ETH (currently worth over $2 million). As with typical lotteries, if the main prize is not won, it will roll over to the next draw, increasing in size each roll over until being won

    This video gives you a bit more info about what  is about

    Investing in the ICO is pretty simple. You sign up on the investors page, and you will be presented with a buy page. The minimum buy in for the Pre-ICO stage is 500 FLOT and depending on the cost of the FLOT, you can either pay with Ethereum or Bitcoin. Once the transaction has been processed on the Blockchain, the FLOT will appear on your Dashboard. You will also be able to send your FLOT to a ERC-20 compatible wallet once the ICO is completed. That way it will be stored in your Ethereum wallet.

    I really think this ICO is gonna be a goodie. The fact that you get rewarded back for the purchases, could have a very profound long term reward. They also have a Telegram group, Twitter & Facebook profile, where you can ask all the questions about the token.

  • Binance App not working on iOS

    You may have noticed over the last couple of days that the app on iOS isn’t working and you get the below error

    “Unable to Verify App. An internet connection is required to verify trust of the developer “iPhone Distribution: Shenzhen Posun Industry Co., Ltd.: This app will not be available till verified”

    This is due to the app being a self provisioned app and needs to be verfied by Apple.

    But, the issue can easily be resolved by downloading the app from the iOS Store, as it has been re-published there. You can download it from 

    Edit: Had quite a few people asking me if the iOS app app was legit. They did confirm it on a reddit post with an update to say it is available on the app store.

  • How to buy DragonChain Token (DRGN)

    How to buy DragonChain Token (DRGN)

    I’ve been doing quite a bit of reading up on the token, which was recentley released to a couple of exchanges, after a very successful ICO. After previously writing about how to buy Ripple and how to buy Waves, I thought I would put a quick post together on how to purchase Dragonchain tokens

    is a public/private hybrid blockchain platform developed originally at Disney in Seattle. With backing from Disney, it has gone on to become it’s own product, offering blockchain services to corporates, similar to what Ethereum is offering.

    At the moment, there are only a couple of exchanges offering DragonChain purchases, but the one that seems the most reliable, and trustworthy is called . is an exchange based in Hong Kong (similar to ) and offer a whole bunch of coins, including it’s own coin .

    To register on Kucoin you can sign up on the site . You don’t need to do a KYC verification for smaller transactions, so signup is really quick & easy.
    Once signed up, you will need to send either Bitcoin or Ethereum to Kucoin, to allow you to purchase the Dragoncoin Token. I use (in South Africa) and sent Ethereum as it is much faster & much cheaper to send than Bitcoin.

    Once you have depsoited into Kucoin, you need to go to the or trading pairs to place your order. Kucoin interface is actually really simple, and makes buying a breeze. Simply enter the amount of DRGN you would like to purchase, based on the current/best price, then click Buy

    I forsee pretty big things with Dragonchain, as it has massive potential. The growth in the last couple of weeks has been fantastic, and I only think it is going to get bigger. So HODL!!
