My legal (or slave name as I like to call it) is Kyle.
Switch the Y and the L around and you get KLYE.. It was actually part of my DJ name which is "M R KLYE" ... Which is like "I am Kyle" but more handicapped sounding.

Describe what it was like using mspaint for the first time.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
I remember it like it was yesterday...
The excitement of crudely drawn bitmaps all over the screen.. Absolutely heavenly when you get into it really. MS-Paint is what true artists use. Pencils, Crayons, Paint and Charcoal art mediums are all for noobs in comparison.
When I started out here and was trying to find my role here some interesting art was made..

whoa! Not what I was expecting... This is silimar to my first mspaint masterpiece.
That tag really inspired me... I remember seeing a book called "I will teach you how to be rich." I hated the title since it was literally the cockiest title I had ever seen. I read more into the author and he is actually a nice guy.
I still hate the title though, and I've hacked it into something more appropriate for our accommodations.

You wouldn't believe how much some of those portraits were worth in commissions.. The dick tree in that album features a guy called AK and he gave me 1.6BTC to draw his dick the biggest of them all.. Bitcoin was around $400 USD back then..
I've not got anything other than my word and art to back it up but I have a sneaky suspicion I might be the highest paid dick doodler in crypto when I was in my prime.

Hi Klye, what the latest with streams app project? Its something I would love to see and would be happy to donate. :)

Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Those guys sadly never paid me a damn dime for any of the work I did for them.. Initially the deal was dev work for BTC.. Then thye started paying me in thirsty shares which are worth less that the effort to dump them for the fraction of a cent they were worth last I checked..
Fucking sucks. The idea if executed well may have had potential but I'm not sure that their development team has the required skillset or background to complete the project. Basically built a GUI and media player from scratch for the thirsty collective and got fired without pay when I got stressed out about working for free. :/

Oh dear that doesn't sound good, I hope we can cobble together some talented folks to create something like this, even just a simple version where tracks are uploaded and an upvote gets the user a free download and also adds the track to a playlist. This would revolutionise the music business because steemit rewards the artist and fans simply by voting
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Perhaps when I have time to do so I might have a whack at building what thirsty hasn't been able to yet. Have to see.
I've got far bigger fish to fry at the moment. As much as I love music and the thought of making crypto powered soundcloud the truth is no one buys music anymore and it would be a bitch to monetize in my opinion.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Understood regarding your other projects and commitments and I get that nobody buys music anymore, thats the whole point of having a steem app for music because the fan doesn't have to pay anything in order for the artist to be rewarded. Surely it is already 'monetized' by being on the steem blockchain?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I get the point of the app. Can's see myself putting in development hours though for something I don't believe with be worth while.
Was going through a bad break up, had to much shit on the go and then to top it all off had pressure from Kohi to push forwards without even so much as a paycheck or anything. My time is far to valueable to put in work for people that can't even pay the developer crafting their golden goose.
It will come eventually. I've got some massive project offerings on the way in the next weeks and month.. Perhaps when I find some time I'll re-visit the idea that Thirsty set out to create but were unable to achieve given lack of funding.

Sorry, to ninja cut-in on you and @bleepcoin conversation ,but one idea ( not even sure doable ) would be to have some way of 'upvote' unlocking of content. Surprised it hasn't been done. So 'x' amount of $ has to be reached , or even 'upvotes' before the content in the post becomes visiable. Just throwing this as an idea out there to someone. I thought maybe TIPPY could be the catalyst to such a thing. Not to sound crude , but nudies and the such could be tipped /upvoted/min. amount reached whatever it might be and it unlocks. Just brainstorming because it's fun!

Cool, good luck and pleased you are gonna keep it in mind, I would be glad to donate if we get to that point.
I wonder if any other steemit developers are interested?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
I could likely build it myself but manpower / time is my main constraint. Got a pretty firm background in Audio engineering and theory.. That coupled with my ability to program makes that sort of project right down my alley if I ever get the time and want to create it.
Would be a 1-3 month build is my guess.

Hello @klye
What do you predict the price of Steem will be at the end of 2017?

We'll either be moon bound, laying in a smoldering crater or somewhere in between..
I do have a gut feeling though that STEEM will be worth far more than it is now one day. HODL if you can and wait for the rocket to the moon to start boarding. :)

That is a tough question! I've met so many wonderful, supportive and kind individuals on here I can't think to name just one.
I've had the whole community band togetherbehind me to get me where I am today. A bunch of my fellow witnesses have helped me, as have the long time users I've grown to call friends on here. Even Steemit Inc has sponsored my deveopment quest here on the network.
I can't simply name one person who has helped the most. As the whole damn network has been so good to me.

I don't really watch much for TV or shows often these days but a few years back a friend of mine showed Full Metal Alchemist to me.. Probably my favourite of all time.
Tried to get into other animes. Attack on Titan I watched a bit of and enjoyed but I haven't really seen much other than the 2 mentioned above that really perked my interests.

Whiskey and brews was my kick back in the days (gosh I sound old) but the rye / whiskey gives me a terrible case of heartburn the last few times I sat down and enjoyed it.
Gin ain't for everyone. It's somewhere between pine cones, licorice and paint thinner but I've never found a booze so damn smooth.

I believe the last time I bought BTC with Fiat was ~2 year ago and it was trough localbitcoins.com and the method was cash deposit into the guys bank account.

It's not that I'm afraid of work..! It's just I have better things to do with my life than take orders and slave to build someone else's empire.

Oh god. JD was the first online community that accepted me for who I was at the time. Truth be told I used to be a straight up fuckin' degenerate loser with a gambling addiction who would piss away everything because I hadn't yet realized how much marketable talents and skills I possessed.
I drop by JD from time to time but it's kind of just a wee bit depressing to think of how much time I spent there doing nothing with my life. Gotta say though that some of the boys in the JD chat are the reason I made it this far.

I've not forgotten my dues nor will I consider myself anything greater than pond froth until I can get that all settled and redeem some honour. I'm glad I didn't off myself back then.. Certainly had a few years after that where I lost nearly all my ambition and drive.. But as they say, Time and hard work fixes everything. Although with BTC rallying as it did I was certainly sweating.
I think I'll get a hold of my main backers sometime tomorrow and see if I can start to settle things. While I'm by no means a made man nor wealthy by any means I do have a bit of expendable funds at the moment.
Perhaps by the end of the year assuming I can stay on the course I am may see a long overdue redemption of self. I'm just praying BTC doesn't go moonbound before I have a chance to set things proper.
