PoS Pool for lesser known Altcoins

I recently found this Proof of Stake pool through a coworker.

I didn't realize that people had these pools setup but everyone should check it out.

I was holding onto BitB at Bittrex and not getting the full benefit of a PoS coin until now, hopefully others can follow in my footsteps.

If you're interested check out my referral

I was able to get coins into the pool using https://wallet.crypto-bridge.org which I believe is the affiliated exchange for this pool.

Practice

Practice on Friday was a bit hectic.  5 minutes before my first session it started raining, but I still had my dry tires on.  So I tried a couple laps and gave up after my front started slipping.

Then the second session was only partially wet so I went out on dry tires again and just as it started to seem dry and I was picking up the pace a MASSIVE downpour came for about 5 minutes.  They restarted the session but I didn't have enough energy or time to put on my rain tires.  

All in all a bad day.

Qualifer

I've been going over some of my issues with Iobe-san from i-factory and he has been recommending a tank pad to help me use my lower body better.  I gave it a try during the qualifiers but the new position it put me in made it harder to ride forward on the bike, so I decided to take it off for the race.  I'll give it a try during practice some other time.

Was 33rd in qualifiers and was worried for a second that I might not pass qualifiers.  I knew my time wasn't good and I had a bad feeling on the bike.  The last time I seriously rode was the TT race 3 weeks ago and I couldn't get back into the grove well.

Race

 I was able to get a good start!

Starting from last position I gained a couple spots right off the bat and was able to hold most of them off for the rest of the race!

It was a great battle experience and I constantly put out low 1:12s so I'm happy with the race overall.

During the race I kept understeering in the first hairpin and I think I might be riding too far back on the bike.  I'm going to try a new spring setting later, but I have another track day event tomorrow.  So for now I'll just try riding more forward

Thank you to Mako and Key for always being there for me!

Tsukuba TT March 2015!

I decided to concentrate on only racing at Tsukuba this year, so I signed up for all 4 championship races and the Tsukuba TT in March.  Lately I've been crashing too much so it was a little rough getting back into the flow of things and I couldn't put out a good time during practice on Friday.  Was still 3 seconds away from my best time and struggling with the stiffness from resting my collarbone for so long.

Every time my pit neighbor Chihiro passed me on the track I tried to keep up to pick up pointers from her line and turn in point but it's always hard to keep up.  These kids are really amazing out here...

ちひろちゃんお疲れさまでした。ちひろちゃんとめいちゃんの二人の走り方をみていろいろ勉強になりました。ながく追いつけなかったが、頑張ってみた。

I came here today to practice mainly one thing, body positioning.  I have trouble turning properly because of poor line of sight and poor upper body movement, leaving too much pressure on my hands.  Made some notes and stuck them to the bike to remember what I need to do.

Come Saturday, time for qualifiers.  I got a lot of comments about my new bike design and it seems like everyone thinks its cool.

Glad it wasn't just me... かっこいいデザインだねと言われた、僕だけがそれ思うじゃなくてよかった　(汗

My first hairpin speed is painstakingly slow and the timing where I open the acceleration is a good 5m too late.  I tried to keep that in mind during the race and was able to shave a little bit of time here.  Still a long way to go.　Video is from qualifiers.  ビデオは予選から〜

五百部さんいつもいろいろ説明してくれたありがとうございます！いろんなアドバイスを受けてこれからも頭にいれて、意識して頑張って練習します。

Just before the race! 　いつもドキドキしてるね

As always I got a good start, passing several people fairly easily moving up from 21st to around 14th.  I was able to hold onto 17th place until the final lap, but finished 18th total and 16th in my class.  I've come a long way from my riding last year, no longer at the tail end of the race, moving up to the front!

This race was a good experience and I think really helped me get back into the groove of things after my recent crashes.  I came very close to my best time during the race, and I know I can push harder next practice!

2014 CBR Dream Cup Grand Championship at Motegi

I totally forgot to post about my first race at Motegi last year.  In November I participated in the CBR Dream Cup Grand Championship which is a race held for the top racers at the various circuits around Japan.  This is the B-class (beginner) and I got here from placing second at Shiraito Circuit.

It was a lot of fun to race at such a legendary track, and seeing those MotoGP skid marks up, close and personal was pretty awesome.  Can't wait to race here again.

印鑑登録はめんどくさい

今日は印鑑登録しに三鷹市役所に言った。登録しようとしたら、出来ませんと言われた。

登録されてる名前とはんこに書いてある名前は違うとだめだそうだ。"Lastname Firstname Middlename"の場合だと "Lastname"か"Firstname"か"Middlename"などのはんこ登録できるけど"Firstname"の"First"だけのニックネームは使えない。僕の名前だと"Zech"はだめだけど"Zechariah"はオッケー。

で、それより、僕の登録されてる名前はローマ字なので、はんこは"ゼック"っていうの買った。カタカナのはんこを使いたい場合は本部の役所（別の場所）にいって名前のカタカナ登録をしてから、新しいカタカナの"ゼカライヤ"って書いてあるはんこを 買って、印鑑登録できるそうだ。

結局ローマ字の名字のはんこ買って、カタカナ登録しないようにした。

めんどくさい！
