Hey there StellaBella, I've been looking for a new proposal from you over on the DashNation slack channel. How are things?

I have been studying the roadmap for POW currencies like Dash and it was after reading this article by Evan that sent me down the rabbit hole: https://medium.com/@eduffield222/how-to-enabling-on-chain-scaling-2ffab5997f8b
In this article's responses, I learned that Evan Duffield appears not to even know about DPOS systems like Bitshares, Steem and EOS, as evidenced by this comment:
After thinking about this deeply, I began to really think about the fact that POW mining is wasteful of energy. It was at this point that I realized Dan Larimer invented Delegated Proof of Stake (DPOS) in order to reduce the waste of electricity.
When I found out that Evan was not educated about this, I felt disillusioned. I was actually shocked that he had no knowledge of how DPOS works, and its advantages.
I still do believe that Dash could potentially be the next PayPal because its governance system is pretty good, but I also realized that my core values are aligned more with DPOS systems, as I have seen how they operate and how they can exist as a very streamlined, and powerful method of consensus in a community. I want to think that Dash's technology and scaling solutions will be going in the right direction, but I am also concerned by the fact that DPOS has not even been studied.
With all that, it should be known that I am still invested in Dash right now. It still is better than Bitcoin, so even though I don't think it's perfect, I think it's much better than the disarray of Bitcoin...
I hadn't articulated my thoughts on this until now as I generally don't like to stir up controversial topics, about which none of us knows the future of....
But I want to be honest about why I am not putting in a proposal. It's because the technology for scaling is going in a direction that I think is short-sighted.

There is another reason as well as that has to do with this: I am stretched thin as far as the things I'm working on. I started a Bitcoin School in Kansas City, and in that school, I am teaching people about Bitcoin, Dash, Steem, many different blockchain projects. This is taking up my time, as well as I will begin working for a friend of mine locally.
The number of Steem projects I'm involved with is large too, as I am writing a book, helping to create a Steem Stock Photo library, and I also just gave away two trips to Steemfest. There are other things I'm doing, like helping with the @spaminator group, as well as mentoring several Nigerian writers. On top of all that, I am going to doctors because I have very strange symptoms (like the sensation of heart attack feelings in my chest) which I don't know what is causing it. I have been avoiding going to a doctor for several months, but now I am just forcing myself to do this, as my symptoms are not going away.

and my third reply is kind of weird, but when Evolution is released, I'm thinking of doing something as a voluteer project, like the art contest.....still thinking about what exactly to do, but the Evolution thing if it works, is kind of a big deal, something to look forward to.
