@kevinwong - shameless as I am I will rape the reward pool by upvoting my own comment with my massive SP to confirm i am voting for your witness. A MUST for 3 reasons: 1 - You DJ, 2 - You been one of the first 5 on Steemit to engage with me, 3 - You take care of the community. Will vote tomorrow!

@uwelang, If you ever visit KL, Malaysia, you should definitely meet up with Kevin. He is one awesome cool guy who willingly support the community and doesn't want to be in the spotlight area. As one of Team Malaysia member, I am super grateful we have Kevin here. I have met him a couple of times, but I didn't dare to talk to him because he is THE Kevin Wong. But deep down inside, I am really thankful. And totally support him as witness. Voted! And confirm voted!

Hey Kev,

I don't know if you're currently top witness material, but you surely have the potential to get there. I'll always remember how you took my recommendations for complete strangers I was curating before I even knew that Curie existe, and how you were the first whale who came by to upvote an unknown startup community like @comedyopenmic so generously and putting your faith in us experimenting with a volunteer base community with rotational leadership of international jokers trying to disrupt the blockchain with a little humor.

I've always seen your devotion the the little peeps....the heart beat of Steem, aka the minnows, I've seen your passion to curate and bring reward to the talented, but most of all, your joy of giving of yourself to others, in art, music, philosophy, positive inspiration, and even with your mouth covering bandanna mystique 😁.....that kind of sharing, that's your passion.

I'm honored to give you my witness vote, I've been asked by a fellow COMer for my witness proxy, nevertheless in the interest of supporting big hearted witness who I believe will help take us to a new generation here on Steem, I will ask him to support you, I'm hopeful he will, either way, you will surely have my vote sooner than later.

Welcome to the witness club, I don't know what you have planned as you climb the ranks, but I'm confident it will be exciting and will be looking forward to seeing your creative ways to disrupt the blockchain. Do us all a favor and raise the bar for all witnesses. Also when you do come up with something cool, let us know if we can help!

Will get the word out to the the community of @comedyopenmic, we got your back!

Steem On!

kevinwong (76) · 6 years ago (edited)

Eh that's too much good words lol. really I don't do much at all, just autovote all day long here most of the time now. Got no plans to climb other than what I've already offered on the table here on this post. Up the community dedice and share it out if they like it. Just want write stuff here and keep building SP.

dj123 (60) · 6 years ago (edited)

ah you're too modest, you probably come from a culture who exemplify humility (ironically it's often not attain by most in such a culture).......your generosity, optimism for the future, and belief there is still space for altruism in humanity brings balance to our current world of so many who are over-focus on just resources, monetary value, and being self-centrict

you don't know yet, but this is just a first step for you into another journey.....you're an elected official of Steem now, be it by popularity, by good vibes, by old-school big fishes, or by calling....it doesn't matter. What matters is that you can start shaping the direction of where you want Steem to steer as we journey together.

I like your honest and straight to the point way of putting things @kevinwong and while I don't understand much (or about nothing) on tech and programming specifics I can agree on how we need to build communities that create points of interest for new and potential users. As a musician I've been finding a great joy networking around here and building new relationships , also it has allowed me to have some sort of revenue for my own art , also helping others is a possibility for me here , even as a minnow account I've been able to push and support initiatives that I like . After being kidnapped and blackmailed ....ahem....invited by @diebitch and @dj123 to the COM family I've come to see one of the hardest working communities around here and am also grateful for your support over there :) !

I stumbled across a resteem on my feed about your post.
In the last two days I have dealt with the topics "complexity" and "quality" and read some scientific contributions. As a balance, I read those of philosophers, historians, systemists and people working on environmental issues.

From the respective perspective of these people and views, there are urgent and important topics that all want to be dealt with and observed.

When I focus on complexity theory and what mathematicians and computer scientists say, I read that ...

The complex interdependencies of computational ecologies violate the traditional requirements for a hierarchical decomposition into technical, industrial, or administrative modules as used in traditional management. Modern technical communication networks are growing open systems which must be used without central control, synchronicity, or consistent data from other agents like machines or humans.
Thus, the dynamic theory of informational and computational ecologies, which incorporates the features of incomplete knowledge and delayed information, will provide well known evolutionary patterns like fixed points, oscillations, or chaos.
Under the conditions of complexity more and more control functions and human activities must be ceded and replaced by artificial intelligent systems. Human responsibility is not abolished, but restricted by collective and nonlinear effects of complex systems which cannot be forecast or controlled in the long run. Thus, we do not promote any kind of biologism or reductionism. But, under the conditions of complexity, it is not enough to have good individual intentions. We have to consider the nonlinear dynamic effects of computer technology, Artificial Life, and Artificial Intelligence for the future of human society.

source: https://scholar.lib.vt.edu/ejournals/SPT/v4n1/pdf/MAINZER.PDF

You're talking about Avoiding Turing completeness and

a self-defining and decidable non-Turing-complete meta-language based on FO[PFP] with PSPACE-complexity that will support an internet of languages; thus enabling the scaling of discussions, consensus, collaboration, and production of knowledge worldwide.

I looked up the definitions, but I can't make sense of them. Can you explain a little more? I am a systemic consultant by profession and have been a supporter of the systemic view of life and interaction of systems.

Do you think that future human communities will no longer be able to cope with the tasks that await us according to the theory of complexity? If I understand it correctly, the conclusion is that we cannot predict the machine-controlled work, i.e. the communication from machine to man and machine to machine.

I had anxieties when reading and I'm afraid of this kind of technology. Do you have an opinion on that?

In any case, I read your article with interest. It's good to see that you give some of your personal thoughts on your decision.

It's quite a new thing so it's hard to find elsewhere, although the gist of it is actually the Semantic Web by Tim Berners-Lee, but of course, with some somewhat serendipitous twists enabled by a blockchain that stores the rules of the network.

Do you think that future human communities will no longer be able to cope with the tasks that await us according to the theory of complexity? If I understand it correctly, the conclusion is that we cannot predict the machine-controlled work, i.e. the communication from machine to man and machine to machine.

Just avoiding turing-completeness at the metalanguage, in which an internet of languages can be supported with semantics preserved, including turing-complete ones. It's just that this class of language wouldn't be able to enjoy the benefits of decidability and all the other good stuff offered by using FO[PFP].

Btw, Tau is actually not an AI per se, at least not in the form we know in mainstream industries which are mostly essentially statistical-based AIs. Tau is purely logic-based and I have not found it being romanticised in popular novels and such, which is for me, quite a good sign. Will be waiting for the demo hitting by end of this year and see how it pans out. Try to go through the website and blogposts - you'll get more answered by the developer himself :)

erh.germany (64) · 6 years ago

Though I have troubles to understand your used expressions. Which is either because I am not a native English speaker and/or used to a non technical language. Let's see what I can make out of going to the Tau side and the blog-posts.

Will cast my vote after leaving this comment.

This would probably mean that I would never gave you my witness vote if he didn't do this... But I read your post, and I trust on dj's opinion (read his comment too) you seem to do a lot for the community, which I do appreciate a lot.. Plus two communities you support are close to my heart: curie and comedyopenmic..

So here you have my vote, and I'm looking forward to all the things you'll be doing for the community..

karov (56) · 6 years ago

<<For example: really knowing what's in the real world around us, from legal ownership to the things that I'm saying here in this post. Blockchains or any records of anything in life would rely on sensors (or oracles, human-beings, etc) to sense. But sensors ultimately require input, which is something that can be trusted 100% since we can just provide kind of signals, true or false, as input. So relationships and social networks still matter in the end even if we are to use the blockchain as a trust protocol for meta-information.>> -- BUT, yet the truth is cheaper. Cause it is easier to just let the mutual entropy between ... things, to reach its maximum. 'Faking' signals takes. Takes exponentially more than truth. Lie is like rowing against the flow of the entropic explosion which any system, incl. the universe is. Maybe this is the secret of the successful internal trust (enforcement) manufacturing which the PoW is. The processes within the network are sooooo reliably isolated from the general flow of the world.

Man, I think we just birthed our witnesses on the same day...
I launched last night.
Congrats.

I took some time off for the crypto winter for some introspection. What do I really want out of all this?

Conclusions:
I want stability with the ability to work on my passions in the crypto space. The roller coaster ride is fun, but I'm looking longer term.

I'm investing in property. Somewhere like, Austin, Singapore, Montana, or a coastal surf spot.

I consolidated my outrageous coin collection down to 3. Steem, BTC, and a platform. I decided I want to be invested in projects I can directly add value to.

I'm also advising one fitness related project bc it will keep me healthy so it fits with the lifestyle.

Then I launched a witness node to put my time and effort where my heart is.

Now my crypto time is consolidated. My life feels more simple. I'm down to grind without the worries of wen moon.

In reading your last few blogs, I felt some interesting synchronicities with my path.

PS. I also read the Alchemist twice last month, which gives nice perspective on the journey of our souls. It made me start hatching crazy plans like taking a cargo ship to steemfest this year. haha

Anyway, cheers to you and your merry Witnesshood.
Your mind and philosophy are a great addition.

Thanks for getting back to me Kevin. Wanted to talk you about:

What do you think of the current lack of "printing" of SBD?
How a Feb 2018 user can really grow? I'm struggling finding a proper growth without using bidbot with a 10% return. The whole system seems to be based on auto-vote right now, so I guess it's just having luck entering in some whale's list?
Following the point before, as much as I would love to be a super active member of steemit, it's extremely hard to be. The truth is that SP counts a lot in terms of being a Steemit "player", aside the content aspect.
The news tab is almost useless right now, it's just complete spam from people with -33 reputation.

While I start to do some research and try to wrap my head around what a witness actually is... I am starting to buy into everything everyone is saying about Tau on here. I still think I need to go back and try understand the fundamentals of blockchain before I start seriously getting into investing and understand exactly what the platform would provide for the world. In saying this though, I'd still like to know how I would do so and it seems like I cant buy any of the Agoras tokens anywhere? Where have they gone?

There's just no one single company dedicated to work on these platforms. Instead, everyone can and should take a part. But with the game as it is now, it has been difficult for users to connect with trustworthy applications, projects, and communities that are relevant. It's really a different ballgame when it comes to building a world of decentralized networks.. that work.

This is where I’ve seen ConsenSys as offering an immensely valuable service to the Ethereum ecosystem, for one example.

Might be interesting to see something be birthed and grow based on a similar modeling catering to Tau and other blockchain ecosystems in due time, as Lublin really seems to have done an excellent job developing the organization to support not only a thriving network of dapp development, but setting a fine example of how to bridge those innovations into existing realms of industry, enterprise, and governments...

I just voted for your witness @kevinwong after I saw your name in the list. I believe that you are one of those individuals that have something to offer for the betterment of the steem technicals and its community.

This is the second time I'm hearing about Tau. The first time being early this year and I think I promised myself to look into it. Well, this might just be a sign to get into something revolutionary with Tau. At least, for once, I will settle down and do something good.

I wish you good luck in your witness journey. Voted you, sir.

Yeah, but Tau's development is worth waiting for. I like that you include Tau in this post. Goodluck then, in regards with your witness campaign. Definitely worth supporting!

I applaud you on you move to become a witness. Reading over your witness introduction post really allowed me to get to know you and your intentions with and for steem.

"dev-to-dev communications about Steem-related technicalities" With a focus on Steem development and preparing for SMT and gathering knowledge and planning prior to deployment is a solid strategy as opposed to waiting for it to drop and then start working. I really like this idea.

I am working to become a developer and have what I would like to think is a great idea to launch the Dev community within and around blockchain to a new level using the Steem platform and developer community as the base. Lets just say school and development would change forever. If you would be interested in hearing more look me up. You have my vote of confidence and I wish you all the luck on your journey as a Witness.

Embracing the Crypto Life™.

So my buddy's pat in the back made me think that I should now just continue to pursue my interests 100% in this space, wherever it takes me. So what's this Crypto Life™ about? It's just a clickbait and it really just means me being invested in my investments. That's how it all becomes currency I guess. I think it's a powerful idea.

I lolled, great job. Have a vote™.

itsyourday (44) · 6 years ago

Epic!... @kevinwong .... Perfect way to close out my night. Thanks for your solid read. As busy in life as I find myself, I enjoy this here social media platform of sorts as the one I enjoy and look forward to coming to visit. Especially when I get a heavy flow of gratitude for how things are playing out in my life. It’s pretty ironic in a multi faceted way that over the past couple years of me being a part of the Steemit Community I have come to find myself visiting this pocket of the web when I have the urge to reciprocate back to other solid folks whom I feel are like-minded. Tired of another long days work I realize unfortunately if I don’t cut myself off to a slim select number of intriguing ‘Posts’, I will find myself catching daylight as I can easily lose myself in all of the fine crafted material that has emerged here over the past couple years.
I love that I get to close my night on a perfect addition created by you that pretty much touched on what I do when I carve out whatever remaining time my eyes allow for me before I’m forced to abandon ship due to
unchallengeable wheights hung from my eye lids.
Times like this, as tired as I am, yet intrigued while filled with gratitude for life, I find myself just enjoying upvoting solid material and just simply satisfied giving from my bank, which is not too grand these days unfortunately. If I could I would throw a more large amount your way. I’m just afraid if I have another night of gratitude in the near future I wouldn’t be able to pass the ‘Goods’ to others as Id like. Hopefully the tides will turn where i soon may be able to do so.
For now, thanks from the good read and I appreciate the content and angle in which I feel you come from and aim for! Keep the vibe Alive!
