Maybe you've already seen this, but the main resource is my original announcement post: https://steemit.com/pocket/@biophil/pocket-announcement
Pocket is a fun experimental cryptocurrency that I created to explore the possibilities of using Steem for purposes other than blogging.
@biophil I did see the original post announcing the two weeks releasing period. The thing is that I am not code literate and git hub scripts are above my skill level. I use a GUI fairly well, but scripts are a whole other realm. I am up in years so it is difficult for this old dog to learn latest tricks. Is pocket tech going to be something I need to force myself to understand? I participate in contests now and again. I have recently won a prize of Pocket and found myself lacking some areas of knowledge. Thanks for your time. Also that's pretty bad ass that you created that system/inter phase program/protocol whatever it is.
You should only try to figure out the details of Pocket if you think it's interesting! It has almost no market value right now, so at the moment you're not missing out on much.
I will say that you seem to think it's much more complicated than it is. Pocket does one thing, and one thing only: it lets you send tokens to people by putting the
pocketsend
command in Steemit comments. Then, when you send a token, you get a message in reply that tells you it worked, how many tokens you have left, and how many tokens the person you sent to has. That's pretty much all you need to know to use Pocket!So there's currently nowhere you can directly look up how many tokens you have, but that doesn't matter because you can always check your own balance by sending 1 to yourself.
@biophil Excellent. I understand pretty well now. I was reading more into it than was needed. A bad habit I have. Thanks for your patience and taking the time to give me a lesson in Pocket. I really appreciate your efforts. Congrats on your creation too. Well done.
No problem at all!
