I chatted with him yesterday on facebook messenger. He is doing great, he's getting a treatment for his problem that is helping a lot, and he has even stopped smoking cigarettes. Unfortunately he is on a medication that slows him down a lot, but I directed him to some good information about better treatments than regular doctors, and I told him that his medication is a substitute for fixing magnesium deficiency, and he respects me a lot so I am sure that he will look into it pretty good.

Yes, I thought it was a pretty amazing set of coincidences. Especially that Larimer is a maker of devices used to torture horses, and faddat's beautiful metaphor of the Steemit community as a grand stallion.

That is awesome to hear. Yes, doctors are very bad for health.

I will do that. He deleted his google account, by the way, but you can find him on facebook now (you know his name, go search!).

I don't expect he is in the most strong physical or mental state now, but his sense of resolve in ending his addictions is clearly not far from my white hot passion for not poisoning myself anymore.

FRACK! I suppose this means I will be giving up cigarets soon...
I left Facebook for full time Steeming. We built the radio station you and I once talked about. @steempunkradio And I'm moving forward with other work we've all talked about. For me, DAWN never died and is as useful as ever. Glad to hear that you're getting a lot out of the last several months too. We'll get on the line again soon. I'm sure we'll have much to discuss ;)

wait, what? You already used this word steempunk - oh, only for thee username, not thee intentional name - Steem Punk Radio, not Steempunk.

Still, so damned close!

Yes, you must get clean and only take drugs for solid medical reasons (preferably holistic or chinese medical reasons). ASAP. All the cool people are going straight edge. There is nothing to be proud of about spending half your day with disordered neurochemistry, and taxing your kidneys, liver, and possibly interfering with all manner of other things.

Also, you are giving up nothing except an anchor on your progress. Stopping smoking was the trigger that started to see my motivation and energy and ability to perform tedious tasks much more easily. Like editing and eliminating typos and making nice layout. I still have to work on my impulse to pull the 'post' trigger, but bit by bit.

Dawn is not dead, but it has become, it seems, my primary job to manage it. As soon as I start to get clear of this detox process, it is high on my agenda to get to work and finish the code and documentation I started.

The Dawn Nexus is the first part. It isn't even any databases, but mainly gossip/epidemic protocols, except for the registry. The ledger is a specific application for this framework, and it is intended that once the framework is built, that multiple ledger protocols be devised, as well as implementing marketplaces, chat systems, exchanges, and the like.

Dawn will be Steem 2.0, but without the greedy, talentless narcissists that dominate Steem's management, dev team and their gaggle of bought and paid for witnesses.

I keep forgetting to log out of l0k1 when I am commenting. I need to implement an auto-resteem bot so that my l0k1 followers don't miss out on my current work, and gradually repopulate my @elfspice account
