RE: Dan Larimer As Blockchain Bodhisattva: Creative Commons Art For EOS

in #slothicorn7 years ago

It is a delight to read your posts again. I still remember your fun picnic in KC and how happy you were to be with others of similar interests. I was shy in meeting you for realz, but thankful. And thankful because of you I met @Papa-Pepper, @Sykochica, and @VirtualGrowth amongst others. I chatted with a fellow who was not on steemit but just came by and we talked about blockchain. He had a funny little kid that played with MonsterTruck, one of the mighty @littlepeppers.

Tis been an interesting road, but I doubled down on my 25 years of page and stage and helped found CSZStLouis.com. Then stepped down to balance family, improv, and reinvesting in steemit and blockchain. I truly believe there is a place in this world for some kind of ImprovCoin, a blockchain/token/coin to empower the improv community. Improv, like blockchain, has seen a booming renaissance in past decades. It is everywhere, and while it is a passion for millions, it is still mostly a "Pay to Play" activity not just for audiences but for players.

I appreciate your passion for blockchain. I appreciate seeing the time and energy you give to others through creativity and freedom. It's inspiring and helps me continue my humble efforts to balance time here, on steemit, and engaging improvisers and artists not on the platform. I have a facebook group, since that is where most of my friends and family still are. A crashed phone reset caused me to loose access to discord and telegram. But I never understood why there was so much steemit related activity on them to begin with... here on steemit is where the rewards are. Why aren't we engaging more in comments? Why hasn't a developer created a chat/group/ability on steemit? Who knows, maybe that's where eos comes in.

EOS, how i want that to work. Your portrait of Dan is fun. The project promises a significant leap forward and I look forward to learning more. However I do not understand why it is so hard to obtain through the USA. WIll that make it's application also difficult. I have tried two VPNs now and both time been given the same message of being prohibited because of a USA IP address detection. I have not given up though. Will be trying again tomorrow with a different VPN. But i am interested in it because of things like you are doing. I hope your slothicorn community continues to grow. I have thought, based on the little i understand, that EOS is the answer to Tokenizing Improv, and making the "Starving Artist" a thing of the past.

Wishing you well. Hope to someday bring you to town for one of our weekly St Louis Steemit Bitcoin Happy Hours. I have an improv friend with some charming AirBnB's not too far from the theater, near the botanical gardens. He and his wife are both PHD Doctors, but they do improv and run AirBnB's, just a nice couple who have found bliss. If you are ever passing through St Louis for any reason, please let me know and I will put you in contact with them.

Wishing you, and the Slothicorn crew, all the very best. ~JTS
