Cubdefi Attempt #1 - No Idea What I Did

I would say I am technologically pretty savvy and semi understand most things crypto but farming on Cubdefi for the first time, felt like I was blindly walking into a room.
I know that I did something right because I am harvesting $CUB but honestly, I know that I wasted money. Quite a bit of aswell.
Just by not fully understanding what I was doing.

The docs on the Cubdefi website were helpful to a certain extent but I feel that they do not fully explain what I am doing. This could be me but I need full clear explanations including imagery to be able to understand things properly.
And I believe that in order for any kind of website/exchange/app, especially in the crypto space, to really be able to grow. You need to have very clear instructions and explanations.
Have clear headings that explain everything as if you were explaining it to a child.
And maybe this sounds like it would be too simple for you but remember that on the Hive blockchain we have people from all over the world, who's second/third maybe even fourth language is English and this could be such a great addition to their portfolio but the learning curve is so steep, it could stop people from using it.
Anyway, I am happy that it somehow worked out for me and I will see what the benefits are but it wasn't fun to say the least. At one point I was even stressed out that I couldn't see my BUSD so I thought I had lost it somewhere along the way.
Am I the only one that struggled with this?
Did you find it easy to use?
Would love to hear your thoughts.

Over and out,

Ashley

I finally figured out that I was spending more in bnb fees than I was getting in cub.
That has slowed down.

I thought it was pretty simple but yeah I am first language English and I have used uniswap before 

There are thousands of posts about cub as you can imagine when it came out everyone shilled and documented their experience with it so there are other tutorials but they require a little effort to find

Aaah I see 
Honestly, I searched for quite a while and didn’t really find any step by step posts. Just general ones. Perhaps I wasn’t looking properly but I really believe that the space could be greatly improved by creating more informational and educational material. Imagine being a Hive noob and have no understanding of how to do it, it would seem impossible to really figure out

I don't blame you and I totally agree, if HIVE was easy ALOT more people would use it but they don't because you need a PHD to figure out how to use a freaking app lol

😄 I think I'm in the same boat with you when trying to figure some of this stuff out. I'd be interested to hear your progress if you keep using it and what you learned.

Oh good, I am not the only one ;) 
Did you manage to figure it out? 
So I did it again but honestly, even though I 'thought' I knew what I was doing, it was a hassle. I kept on not being able to buy $cub so I got very frustrated. But then after a sleeping on it, in the morning I saw that it had worked (but I have no idea why it didn't work in the first place hahaha)
will keep you posted!

You are not the only one who struggles they are so many especial me, but what we have to do is to keep learning because things at the first time seem to be tough.
