My name is Sergey, I am 46 years old. I was born, lived and live in Ukraine. After school I graduated from the Pedagogical Institute and qualified as a teacher of mathematics and computer science.
I worked as a software engineer (engineer) for a telephone company. I worked as a math teacher. Now I am engaged in tutoring.
Cryptocurrencies
I got acquainted with cryptocurrency too late to buy 1 bitcoin for 1 dollar)). But it's never too late. Thousands of cryptocurrencies are waiting for a 1000x takeoff, or not?
It's amazing that I read daily computer news and I missed the bitcoin topic.
I learned about bitcoin mining at the moment when mining on video cards had already disappeared.
I tried to mine bitcoin on my NVIDIA 9600GT video card, which is not quite suitable for mining. It was sad.
But the topic of cryptocurrencies is interesting - it's math !!
Maths
I will not say that I studied well at school, mathematics was easy to learn on its own, other subjects were less easy. After school I got interested in computers. There was no developed computer teaching yet, and I went to study to be a teacher of mathematics and computer science. Computers were also studied there.
Last year I went to work as a teacher, I like solving problems. Moreover, multi-mathematical problems are needed for teaching programming.
And what is amazing - while preparing for lessons at school, I discovered sangaku, Japanese temple geometry. The amazing thing is that I have never heard of a sangaku before.
Hobby
I collected stamps in my childhood))) I read science fiction, not fantasy. Physics and history were not easy to study at school. But now I read excitedly about the structure of the Universe - from the nucleus to the stars and galaxies. The same is true for history, but more lblb read about the history of science. History of physics, history of chemistry, history of mathematics, history of astronomy. Not politics! Psychology.
Computers
Computers also my hobby. I have some old computers, not a museum yet, but maybe it will be. I found computers when the 386 era ended, there were 486 and the Pentium era was on. These are the ones I have the most. There is also not so old, but it is not so interesting. MS-DOS time, Windows 95.
Do you remember those things on the table? What is it?
This is motherboard of 80286 computer. I do not know if it is functional?
Games
Computer games - I will not say that I am a great gamer, but I played games, sometimes I play. And this topic will have a lot to tell in my posts.
Radioelectronics
My dad lived in the era of radio, radio electronics did not interest me very much, but now he was drawn into it. Became interesting. I study it a little.
Programming.
Ever since school, as soon as computers appeared in my life, I liked programming. I liked not so much programming as I liked teaching it, because I am a teacher. I started with the BASIC language, at the institute they taught C ++, now I want to learn Python.
The photo
well, who doesn't like photos now? A camera in every phone. My camera is a very old 2007 Canon S5 IS, I want to buy a better used camera, it has more features. But with such an old camera excellent pictures come in. I admire them myself.
How I came to Steemit
I heard about Steemit a few months after it appeared, this can be seen from the date of my registration - soon five years. How did I know? Found out about steemit somewhere from the news.
But soon after registration, I learned about the upcoming fork - golos (golos.id) for Russian speakers. Since there the language of communication was more familiar to me - I was there. From time to time I tried to do unsuccessfully post on Steemit. Empty voices, empty payments, it was sad. Zero.
But six months ago I returned again, and this time everything is not so sad. Steemit has changed a lot, communities have appeared.
I started to be more active here, in spite of the lack of support.
Support is very important, even not such a strong upvote, even a simple comment is supported here, they do not allow to abandon it all again. I am now in a very strong and fast growing community
Steem-BRU (BY-RU-UA) @steem-bru.
Achievements
My rewards grew very slowly. Even now, it is very small.
The first time I wanted to go through these achievements because of the support of those users who have been on the platform for a long time and have not accumulated 500 STEEM POWER
I heard about the crypto academy earlier and now I decided to participate. But the Achievements of beginners must be completed.
It's all! Thought I want to write everything in one post?
