was the most epic software release fail I have ever personally witnessed in my life, and I will keep running my witness until the bill comes for may, and I'm ditching it. I am glad that I am going to be getting enough power downs from my long time of loyalty to the platform, but I don't want to deal with the bullshit anymore.

I have decided that after wasting 3 days with @xeroc's piston-libthat the idea of building a mirror/proxy of the Steem blockchain is a waste of time.

I have possibly now secured an apartment in a convenient location at an unbeatable price (€120/month including expenses).

I will continue to post from time to time to honor my followers and fans, but if I have a house I can really start to get busy sorting my life situation out and dedicate a lot of time and effort to making the Dawn Network the noetic successor to Steem, and helping bring people into the project, and once the chain and network is online.

Steem is still probably one of the best decentralised network systems, if not the best, but this isn't saying much if you look at the fiasco that so many of the others are.

But I am now going to dedicate myself, since I have the resources to be able to do this, to helping make sure that Dawn solves every problem that we see in the rest of the Blockchain community. We are going to do it right, no nonsense, no lack of communication, no imposing our personal agendas on the network, it will be written in the best language designed for realtime concurrent server applications, our web platform will be far better designed than the one here, and the code will be something everyone can vote on, to decide how the changes occur, and we will make the changes one at a time to make sure we don't make the muddle that this system does. And even native platform apps for Windows, Linux and Mac.

Thankyou to everyone for your support, and if you want to support the developing of the first completely free (as in freedom) blockchain on the internet, that will never be coopted by corporations, banks, or governments, just come visit us at the Dawn Network discord chat and let's get this happening!
