Top websites to earn Steem coins

Cryptocurrency is a trend in nowadays and there are platforms that allow you to create contents and earn Steem, a digital cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, based on the blockchain technology.

Here are some websites where you can earn free Steem:

Steemit.com and Busy.org are both blogging and decentralized social network media platforms, based on the blockchain technology. These two are comparable to trains, that ride the same railroad (the steem blockchain). Steemit is the first, the old train, while Busy is the new fast train. Basically, the difference is the interface and some features, like the "wallet" that has more info in Busy than in Steemit, the post Editor that allows to create nice posts in Busy, Steemit has a night mode... The content that you create on Steemit also appears in Busy and vice-versa. Here you can earn by creating contents (blog posting), and upvoting other blog posts (aka curation). Just like Facebook or Reddit, but paid to you.
Then there are some bots for allowing your posts to be upvoted, in trade of a small donation, like the @minnowbooster.
The @originalworks bot can be called from any comment, for the declaration of original work and earn some upvotes. This one is free.

Solving "JPA Project Change Event Handler (waiting)" annoying message from Eclipse

I'm using Eclipse Oxygen IDE and I'm always getting this annoying message "JPA Project Change Event Handler (waiting)" after saving a file, but I'm not using JPA in my project.

I tried to turn off the JPA validators under Preferences, with no success and the message kept appearing. Now I've found out that the guilty for the message appearing is the Dali/JPT plugin.
Since I do not need this plugin, I uninstalled it from the "Preferences" > "Install/Update"> then click again in the "Uninstall or update" link under that tab and finally I've selected, from the "Installed Software", the "Dali Java Persistence Tools - JPA Support" entry. Then I uninstallled it.

Problem solved!
