by cmoneyspinner » 19 Apr 2021, 00:19 There are some reputable business news and cryptocurrency news sites out there that have given both of these platforms Two Thumbs Up. This review is sort of “mixed”. It's not a bad review. It's also not a stellar review. Most importantly, it's just my review. In the world of cryptocurrency, I don't think what I say is worth much “salt”. But I'm going to say it anyway!
Before I present this review, bear in mind these two (2) things.
(1) These platforms are like “the new kid on the block”. They have not been in existence for very long. Read.Cash was launched October 2019. The following year 2020, the Read.Cash developers launched their partner site, Noise.Cash in December. Sites very seldom start out perfect. When sites are brand new, they have a lot of “growing pains”. They either grow and improve; or they don't survive. That means a review of the site by a reviewer when it is just beginning might say one thing and several years later, a review by that same reviewer might be completely different. Sometimes the initial review is terrific and a later review is awful; or vice versa.
(2) When it comes to these communities, I am also like “a new kid on the block”. I don't remember WHEN I created my account at Read.Cash, but my profile says I have been active user for 2 months. I may have had my account longer than that, but I did not publish my first article until 2 months ago, so I guess that's how they reckoned my time there. I also don't remember when I created my account at Noise.Cash but I think it was at the beginning of 2021 and it was because of the discussion thread here at Forum Coin titled You Need to Join Noise.Cash.

MY REVIEW of Noise.Cash:
When I first started at Noise.Cash, it was just like posting tweets on Twitter. Only they call it “noise-making”. The new member received “Free Tips”. In other words, the site owners gave you Tips from their own Bitcoin Cash, to tip other users. It was super easy to post, easy to tip, I met new people, I learned about a lot of different things, and I earned Bitcoin Cash which I traded with @CyberFreak for forum coins and then cashed out for USD via PayPal.
Everything was going fine up until Easter Sunday, April 4, 2021. I signed in and the site was in chaos. The developers tried to implement a change to control the spammers and upset everybody. They quickly backtracked and reversed the changes. However, they are still having problems with spammers. So now they are trying to implement other changes. I signed in one day and could not do anything! The next day I signed in, I was active for a little while ~ maybe for a couple of hours ~ but then a red-letter message appeared saying “You are posting too fast”. So it looks like the latest change is a “timer”. It used to be that I could post all day and all night. No limits. But now, I can only post for a limited time. Limited posting and interactions, also limits the amount of Bitcoin Cash I can earn within a certain period of time.
Let me clarify. When I use the term “spammers”, I'm not just talking about users who post “The Nothing”; messages that are just garbage, that don't add value like a string of emojis, “Wow”, “Nice”, etc. I'm also talking about … either it's a group of users or it could be one person who created multiple accounts... IDK! But they take the same content, copy and paste it and post it to several other accounts. Then they tip themselves or each other! Whatever! Dishonest people can always take a good thing and turn it into crap!
Anyway! They have also made some other changes but, overall, I got no complaints about what's going on at Noise.Cash. Even though the developers, admin team, and owners are not really saying anything “formally” (i.e. they don't publish statements about site changes in the form of an FAQ) about the various changes they are making, I can read between the lines. Their real message is loud and clear. If we don't get rid of the spammers, this site is going to crash!
For the most part, the system is fully automated and it's my understanding they, “The NC Team”, try to do manual reviews of various accounts as a “quality control” measure.
BOTTOM LINE: I like Noise.Cash. I hope it grows and gets better and better. As long as I am allowed to have an account and earn Bitcoin Cash, I will continue to be active there.
MY REVIEW of Read.Cash:
As I mentioned earlier, I published my first article at Read.Cash about 2 months ago. If you have ever published on Medium.com or Vocal.Media, you can blog or write articles on Read.Cash. It's the same publishing platform.
They have “Communities” which is a way of grouping similar content. I have joined several. You can publish short posts or full articles. (Although the owners recommend that you join Noise.Cash and publish your short posts there.) When you publish content, it publishes immediately. You can submit content to a Community or not. Your choice. Your short posts and your articles all appear on your member profile.
I count this as a PLUS! Several of my articles have been indexed which means people can Google them and they appear in the search engine results.
Read.Cash has a very easy affiliate referral program. Basically you share the link to your profile or convert any article link to an affiliate link' and if someone signs up, you get credit IF they are active. I don't know how much you can earn because all of the members who signed up under my link ARE NOT ACTIVE! Which means I'm not earning anything!
** But! I do have one major complaint about Read.Cash. Sort of.
When I look at my profile page on Read.Cash I can readily see the articles or short posts that I have published, but not my comments that I have left at other articles. I finally figured out that if you so a search at the site and put your profile name in the search box with a “@” sign in front of your name, it will display all of your activity. That's how I found the Comments that I left at other people's articles.
I think it might be because they are also trying to control spammers at this Read.Cash too; but when I re-checked my comments to see how they appear in the Comments Section below the article, ALL of my comments were “hidden”. If comments are hidden, there are only two reasons why. Either “Low Score” or they have been flagged “Spam”.
Well! I have my own stand-alone blogs and regularly go through the comments and DELETE SPAM!! I know that people work hard and don't want their work trashed by others. I know that I do my best NOT to spam the content of other people.
So when I noticed that all of my comments had been hidden, I went back and DELETED ALL OF MY COMMENTS MYSELF!
If an automated bot or a human being performed a manual check and decided that my comments should be hidden for whatever reason … I am not going to argue with anybody! But I'm also not going to leave those in their system.
When you delete a comment, a pink message box pops up and asks 'Are you sure? Because you can not reverse this action!'
I'm thinking: 'Hello! Those comments came out of my brain and they are still in there! All I'm doing is removing them from your system. So yes! I'm sure!'
(I would have stuck my tongue out but nobody could see me.
)The reason I said it's a complaint “Sort of” is because I was able to easily delete my comments. Any time a platform gives you the option to clean up your own activity, be it Editing or Deleting, that's a PLUS!
I was tad bit annoyed that my comments were “hidden”. But I was also very pleased that I could easily delete them and not have to worry about them at all.
BOTTOM LINE: I like Read.Cash. I hope it grows and gets better and better. As long as I am allowed to have an account and earn Bitcoin Cash, I will continue to be active there.

This concludes my review of the Read.Cash and Noise.Cash platforms. I would definitely recommend them to others and would give them a rating is 4 out of 5 stars.
