I used Honeygain for a few months but when I upgraded from Windows to Macbook Air, I didn’t download it again.
Also because I often have to use VPN and Honegain doesn’t really work with VPN. But I digress.
The point is, I made some Jumptask (JMPT) and transferred it to Metamask.
The problem is, Metamask is a wallet, we all know that, so that means you need fees for everything.
You can’t swap or transfer JMPT, which is a BEP20 token, unless you have BNB to pay for the fees, which I didn’t.
So today, after maybe a year, I decided to do something about it.
I’ve got some BNB that I used for the MEME launchpad so I transferred some BNB to cover the fees to Metamask.
I then swapped JMPT for BNB and sent it back to my Binance account.
The whole thing cost me around $0.60, most of which was spent on the swapping fee, which was quite hefty.
Some would say this was a waste of time, but why?
It took me two minutes to download Honeygain and set it up, took me another two minutes to connect it to Metamask to earn JMPT. Everything else was automatic.
Then, about a year later, it took me maybe three or four minutes to send JMPT / BNB funds from Metamask to Binance, and now I can spend it.
Yes, I did all that for an amount that was worth about $2 but so what.
Eight minutes worth of work made me $2, minutes the fee, that’s $1.40.
That’s $0.175 per minute, which works out at around $10.5 per hour, which works out at $84 per day considering a standard 8-hour workday.
$84 a day is more than average in Europe.
So eight minutes worth of work got me enough to buy at least two or three beers from the local supermarket.
So where exactly did I go wrong? We crypto people do this all the time, and no-coiners don’t get it.
Their loss.
