Witness Introduction

in witness •  4 years ago 

Hello, Blurters!

This is my official witness introduction post.

Who am I and why Blurt

I am peerchemist, and I'll go by "beerchemist" on this platform because why not. It sounds fun and everyone likes beer. I am in and out all things crypto since ever, since 2013. I work full time in cryptosphere since 2016 and act as project leader of the Peercoin project since 2016. I've come to know Blurt via @jacobgadikian who I've met on one project I am engaged with as advisor. He has successfully "shilled" blurt to me and here I am. I am now learning about graphene based blockchains and running a witness node. And I've never thought I'll be doing that.

I like to write.
I like about technical topics, especially about blockchains. I like to write about philosophy of the blockchain movement.
Usually, I use Medium for this but Medium is turning into a paywalled platform which forces writers like me to set a paywall if we want to be heard. No paywall, no clicks they say. And I do not like that. That is why I think we need platforms like Blurt.

To learn more about my worldview maybe take a look at some of the interviews:

Being a witness

Witnesses are the backbone of the Blurt network of course due to nature of this blockchain. I believe it's important for witnesses to be "in the loop" with everything that happens with the network and I believe I can do that. I am in daily contact with Jacob after all.

So far I have advised core Blurt people about some matters already and I have presented blurt as a solid blogging platform to a quite a few people. I will continue to do so regardless if I am a witness or not.

Oh lala! It is always interesting to open new opportunities and welcome new members, so I welcome you to the Blurt family, and we will toast with cold beer lol.
Also reading you makes me curious to know what is your favorite book? I see that you use the term worldview, which allows me to appreciate that you can observe the complexity of the world and its different views, but I also think you are a visionary of the blockchain, which I find more interesting.
We will have the opportunity to talk, because more than a chain of blocks, we are a chain of human beings who give life to Blurt.
Good vibes.

Hi,

Also reading you makes me curious to know what is your favorite book?

I mostly read non-fiction and there is many of those I really like. If you ask about my fav fiction book that has to be 1984.

We will have the opportunity to talk, because more than a chain of blocks, we are a chain of human beings who give life to Blurt.

Indeed, cu around.
