It has been slow getting moving for me. The last 24 months have been difficult, the previous project I was working on I was really an intern, and learned a lot, but earned nothing, not even equity.

The project leader walked straight into the hands of scammers and took me for granted, completely ignored my warnings that he was more likely to lose than even break even. I wasn't even able to stay decently clothed and in the end was sleeping on a dirty mattress in the office.

Physically my health declined badly and it has been a slim budget allocated to me, just enough to not be on the street but not enough to settle let alone attend adequately to healing.

But sunshine and good food is seeing me right, I finally snapped out of a bout of severe depression my some luck two days ago and finally I am humming on all 8 cylinders.

We expected the grinding selloff being prosecuted by the Justin Sun Gang, and they will have all their tokens powered down by about 10 more weeks, somewhere towards the end of that the drain will stop.

My main project, now that I am finally done doing firefighting the many little fires is to gird Blurt to be ready to be listed on Coinbase.

But now I think of it, actually there isn't a big rush. Since the JS brigade is milking their airdrop for all they can get, and probably searching for more ways to quietly suppress us, no sense in rushing to enable them to also milk the incoming, civilised investors.

We set out to show them how it's done, and we have more talent here in one of our pinkies than two well capitalised corporations. So, don't worry, they can't say siege forever and we run lean.

I wrote a nice handy debug tracing library today, and writing Go code is coming back to me quickly, after being neither physically or mentally ingood condition, I should have the network endpoints done or nearly done tomorrow.

Pretty elementary stuff, basically version numbers and network identifiers. As I go I will get pieces of the direct Go RPC library converted from the best Steem library I could dig up.

Of course, being neither the Steem or Hive ecosystems are open to being developed by those who lack 'respect' for the narcissists in the 'community', that was why I ditched Steem in 2017, It is a bit of a mystery story at times.

The rewards and 'antispam' systems are buggy (as in functionality) as hell. But one by one the issues are being knocked out of the park.

So, by the time they are finished with us, we will be a shoe in for Coinbase listing, there will be at least beta, real mobile app, a detached signer with cutting edge tech underneath, a full Go RPC and vastly improved deployment tools and documentation.

The Justin Solar Eclipse will be followed by the Dawn of Blurt assuredly as day follows night.

Neither network will rise in the incoming bull market.

We have a good shot at it and rather than line our pockets as the capital stacks up we will continue to push the envelope.

I am just glad to be able to dig back into the code, and I will report as I hit milestones. First is the network endpoints, then accounts, then blocks and transactions, and I think if I can reach cruising latitude in the next two weeks, Rosetta for Blurt will be in beta.
