$100 per day Staking Tao (Crypto) & affiliate marketing

I’m going to post my story, whether it helps someone I don’t know. Maybe it helps you to think outside the box a little. I will include links below.

I make $100 per day from staking crypto (Tao), and then also blogging about how to do it. The blogging part doesn’t do as well.

I was lucky to get in early with the Bittensor project (Tao is the token of this the Bittensor blockchain) when it was cheap to mine. I was able to accumulate a few thousand Tokens using a $30 per month CPU based VPS.
It’s hard to mine now, as it requires knowledge on machine learning and a relatively beefy GPU setup, so I have switched to being a validator only. I’ve stopped mining, and with the few thousand Tao I own, I stake it.
Around 3500 Tao makes 5 Tao per day. Each token is worth around $20 USD each, which nets me $100 per day.

To try maximize my profits, I then wrote an article on how to become a Tao Validator with referral links to the VPS service I use. This part is not as smooth as I would have hoped as I am updating this guide every few months as mining/staking methods are constantly evolving and becoming harder. The guides become outdated.

Be advised, to become a Validator now you need a minimum of 1024 Tao, which means you would need to invest around $20k with the current price of $20 per Tao.

If you understand the concepts of machine learning, you could try mine instead.
