@dan You are doing valuable work no matter what OS "project" you are working on.
In the OS space there is only one team and one project that benefits the whole Universe. Sorry to see people who are asleep to that and only focused on their little sliver of OS.
What we are collectively developing is nothing less than a universe - the Blockchain Universe. Bitshares, Steem and EOS are planets in that universe at specific stages of development. Everything has value because they demonstrate varieties of possibilities for future creations. (from my post ... Philosophy of the OS Universe - by a Blockchain Social Scientist)
