I wouldn't write the letters on the cube - that way the cube always helps you out and you're never really forced to remember your letter scheme yourself. Use a regular cube and practise recalling your letters as...
I meant 3-cycles with eyes open.
Oh, ok.
-Get a good memo system. Sort out your letter pairs, get comfortable with your words and sentences or images or whatever you use.
-Choose a good order to memorise the pieces. Find the one that works the best for you. For me it always worked like: a...

I hope this will be helpful to some people.
Thanks you guys, really :)
Sure, I can do that.
Lots and lots of sighted solves.
And are you just kidding about the big bld memo or should I really sum up some thoughts?
Wow, that's quite a challenge! I'll look into it.
Will do if I have the time.
Did I look relaxed? Well, that's not...
Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know that as of now, I'm taking a different approach on competitive BLD cubing.
I have achieved everything I could ever dream of in cubing and right now I'm completely satisfied with my results over the years. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun, but it was...
Yay, wr!
On the other hand, 6:26? Meh.

Technically not true. You only get a DNF if you touch the cube after removing the blindfold. See http://worldcubeassociation.org/regulations/#B5c
Of course people would normally stop the timer first, but mainly because it's faster that way.
I've worked hard for this.
