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.
