[Member Intro] Cross walker

[codacube]

I'm an over 60 year old cuber that is just starting. I'm not fast or precise (yet), but I have the LBL down. Solving times using the LBL are a typically below 3 minutes. One of the things that slows me down is that I don't see colors well, so differentiating the cube colors can be problematic. (Bright cubes and sunlight really helps). Avg CFOP using 4 Look: 3.5 minutes. Nothing memorized yet.

I love being able to just solve a mixed up cube. Being able to solve a cube even faster just increases that fun/minute ratio.

I have a few cubes: GoCube (learned on it), MonsterGo (bluetooth) GAN 356 I3 (messing with bluetooth connections), GAN magnet version of some sort, and some old cubes we had around the house. I haven't been able to connect the GAN 356 I3 to Cubeast, but the MonsterGo cube works well there. (Thanks Cubeast! It's nice to keep track of my times.)

My goal is learn and get substantially faster in my solves. (My other secret goal is to get my sons into cubing too.)

If you see a old guy walking your neighborhood holding a cube and NOT turning any sides then it might be me. I'm working on figuring out the correct moves to create the cross faster. That's the real definition of a cross walker.

On behalf of speedsolving.com, welcome to the forums! If you’re interested in competing in cubes online, then I’d definitely recommend that you try out the “Competitions” tab here. You can work on getting faster while also being a little competitive.
And even if you aren’t too fast, it’s still nice to have more people in the SpeedSolving community. I hope you have a nice time here!

You should be able too connect the I3 now. Just refresh the page for cubeast.
Also, welcome! I like that definition of a cross walker. Do you have the GoCube Edge or a non-magnetized version?

Welcome to the forums! Something you might want to look into is using stickered cubes and using a custom color scheme - this could help you differentiate the different colors easier. I’ve met cubers who are color blind who use this technique to help them out!
