back again, sort of

in #steem5 years ago

Well... I didn't know I now also had a hive account... T'is Loki the elfspice crazy Go programmer dude.

I'm currently working on an adapter to create a nice friendly REST interface for the Blurt blockchain. I'm working from hf22 stuff and my plan is to have it support all the sbds and whatnot, but it's not important to us at Blurt as we are removing that thing. But I will make a release with the initial everything, pretty soon, I'll release it here.

I don't know how many Go devs there are around here but I'm sure something that supports better than hf18 would be useful.

I don't know also if many here will remember me. Anyhow, let's just say that I'm here to write code, and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of bubblegum. We have some c++ wizards working away right now to excise this stupid downvote and SBD (i'm glad someone's finally doing it, and glad to be on that team), and the plan is we will have a network up and running soon.

My understanding is that nobody at blurt wants condenser GUI however.

After I finish the REST API I think I will start pushing the idea that I will lead the GUI development process. I have now written a little GUI code in a new, primitive but wide open and nicely structured Go-native all-platform capable interfaces.

We also plan to put together a batch of new, fully open source CPUs in the near future, and we are looking at you - Africa... especially. My personal vision of what cryptocurrency should be is basically like organic emergent money, but with security to make a real money market possible. Entrepreneurship. I am not the founder but I am close to the founder and we agree pretty much on most things.

Steem was amazing for me. The power down. I thought 2 years was good. 1/4 a year was still ok but c'mon... 4 weeks power down.

Anyhow, random thoughts
