I set off to see the world, and I did not like what I left behind.

Now I am thankful to steemit!


Everything I asked for or called for on here is happening. @ned thank you.

I wanted the witnesses to be free chosen, it seems to be so now.

I wanted stinc to stop taking so much money out of here, they took more, though that was down to witnesses and discussions beyond my control.

Maybe they will take less now, they have offered the olive branch all the same.

I wanted @ned to step aside, he has.

None of what I asked for was stamping my feet, it was - "constructive criticism".......

As someone said to me a few days ago, pf for short,

I think you're angry because you care and because you care .. walking away and making a clean break is easier said than done. One option could be to take a break

In answer, I am angry because this is a failed project here, hatred rules the day, censorship is worse than FB or YT due to people having to buy in since hardfuckup20!

No matter now, I pay my dues to stinc, to @ned to @dantheman, they made my dreams possible via unseen circumstances you see.

Thanks also to https://steemit.com/exyle/@exyle/tokens-will-soon-be-here-on-steem-with-steem-engine-and-a-fiat-steem-exchange-is-being-developed-called-freedomex-io this post, and to @aggroed for making my dream come so much closer to fruition via my new currency TPY or transparency.

All of the 33333333 will be given away, to people I trust, from here.

I have done my due diligence, I know who I can trust.

3 million, three hundred thousand, three hundred and 33 coins will be kept in my daughters wallet, she is only 7, and will have no access to them for another 11 years.

The rest will be given away to you.

I am finishing off my own website/blockchain, and who I send the coins to, will be the 13 gatekeepers, and the 291 volunteers, in you I entrust freedom, and the future.

Some of you I will be including do not know me, though I have observed you, and you are in based on my instinct alone.

There will also be a chance to mine some other coins, if that floats your boat, there will be though, no pre-mine by me!

In you I trust, my 13 plus 291, make this world great, or die trying. @shepz1 is over and out........

Sort:  

Very curious to see what's next. I'll be on the look out.

You are in, regardless.

Can't wait to see your website and blockchain! Surely you can drum up enough interest so that maybe a hundred people or so are all lined up to start mining once you hit the Go button...

And in you I trust, and part of my 291. :-)

Interesting

I watched you get battered by haejin, and come up head first with dignity intact, you are indeed in, no thanks required.

You're always up to some mischief or other aren't you;) Intriguing indeed!

And you think you are not 1 of the 291? Think again :-)

Sad you are still intent on leaving. Your humour and sarcasm are always refreshing.

I like how you don't only talk/rant, but also offer viable alternatives.

Can't wait to see your blockchain. Didn't even know you were a programmer!

Thanks for the kind words.

I am of that generation people call middle aged, we, well most of us anyway, grew up with commodore c64's, zx Spectrums and the like, and to make free games, we had to learn to code, from a young age.

Then my brother bought a computer software designing company in the 90's and sold me the complete software library, I had over 10,000 different versions of c++ and Microsoft 95 etc and it made me sit and use them, whilst selling them on the internet, pre eBay, I had cheques (remember them?) landing from all over the world. It was slow and time consuming, though gave me time to learn. :-)

That's crazy man. You are a very lucky guy. I couldn't even find a programming book till I was almost in university.

I'm guessing you learnt Solidity too? Will your blockchain be custom or ERC20?

Steem Engine looks like a really exciting project and I'll be keeping a close eye on it.

Thanks for sticking with us @shepz1 I know you've had your ups and downs here, I look forward to reading your posts and hated it when you took a break, but I guess you needed it.

I hope you'd consider me trustworthy?

😉

As if you are not one of the 291 you crazy fucker you. :-)
I did not like the way this place was heading, and as a stake holder, my concerns were legit, I am happy though to be able to offer my alternative, with gatekeepers, that will keep the predators away.

Note the math, 33333333 13 and 291, I used their numbers, against "them"

I'm looking forward to seeing where this all goes.

Me also, though not for money reasons, I want to see other people thrive, I have enough, I want no more, this is all for you guys n gals.

And very kind of you to do too!

Posted using Partiko Android

I have nothing left to buy, I have nothing left I need or want, the only thing I have left to do, is make sure that goes for everyone else, to make sure everyone thrives, at least then, we may start consuming less, as everyone becomes equal, and with choice comes less competition, with choice, comes less needs, less wants, less homeless and more giving. New world order? Maybe, lets call it that!

Another one bites the dust..

And it's always the good ones that jump off before the big crunch.

You were right bugger it.

And then I remade it, but better, number 2!

So you're new website/blockchain is nearing completion by the sounds of this. And now you have implemented you're own coins through various things that came about from issues with stinc. Haha nice outcome. Transparency coin I like the sound of that mate :) let's try and make this world a better place or die trying, I like that. Hope this steemengine setup works out superbly to tie in with you're blockchain. All the best with it mate and take care and love what you doing.

And fuck me, you know you are included lol. new world bro, new ideas, glad you are my friend too.

Awesome thanks and glad to have you for a friend to mate :-)

Hope to see more of this project soon, we can build a better future cooperating together.

And you are one of thirteen, In you I trust.

Didn't expect that, I don't know what to say either, hope not to disappoint, thank you bro, looking forward to it.

I will put up the list of thirteen soon, you are on it, you get free coins, you get to mine more, if you want to, time to change some stuff, I trust you, I trust others too. And not a single one of you have I ever met, call me crazy, call me stupid, but I knows what I see, and I know what I am doing, ish lol.

Engineering the new world disorder, I trust you and your degree on life, let's see where this goes.

It is up to you people now, I am only facilitating it, and I relinquish control day one!

What? You trying to bribe us to let you leave or you trying to bribe us to go with you? I think I've done expressed there's no amount of money worth taking to be rid of you nor would you have to bribe me to go where ever the heck your going. I guess you could leave me here to go through severe withdrawals but I shutter to even think about that.

As if I would leave you behind, yeee of little faith you lol.

Well, you know, I do have a habit of being able to empty out a room rather fast....so there's that lingering thought...lol.

I know that feeling well. :-)

The system is not set up to make the masses thrive , my mindset made it almost impossible to me to stay afloat . Life , steemit what ever . I know how to work , not how to make money or how a blockchain can be used in my advance . To me value is in the people , not the stuff they carry . I always refused to lie and cheat for more profit . I know honesty gets one nowhere in today's world , may i present Steemit as proof for that . Make this world great ! History learns already lot's of people died trying . My praise and respect for taking that road , i wish you the best .

Thanks my friend, you are invited though, and more than welcome.

Great to see you taking your frustration and channeling it into something creative and positive .. like I said dude "doing nothing is not an option for you" ;) and with your drive I have no doubt you'll make a huge success of this endeavor. Good or bad, life is a lesson and equally (like you allude to) we often learn more from what doesn't work for us as opposed to what does.

Hey bro, cheers, and you were and are correct.

I would like to invite you to be one of the thirteen gatekeepers, if you will?

I have made a rod for my back with this now, and need to complete it ASAP, though there is nothing like a good challenge is there, or we may as well be dead. :-)

Hey my friend,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, after my message I finished painting a room .. sat down and have been on my back with flu ever since. :( I would be honoured to be one of the thirteen (never been called a gatekeeper before lol) .. thank you for the consideration,I really appreciate it! :D

We all need a good challenge to drive us forward and I know you'll be up for it, equally it's also why I've also tasked myself with writing a book so I can relate to the challenge! In terms of tonight, I'll be loading #musicmonday but I'm feeling so rough .. I'll only be able to slowly curate/upvote over the next few days

Intriguing. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

I really admire how you don't just talk, you come up with solutions. I need to be more like you and maybe I'll stand of chance of escaping the UK with my family before we are swallowed by the system.

Great work !

Thanks my friend, and you were and are part of the solution and are more than welcome to come along for the ride.

You've always been true to yourself for the short time that I have known you and for that I am grateful to have followed you.

You too seem to be a very honest person, and worthy of a shot at it, I would like you to come along for the ride also, thank you for the kind words.

I'm always up for an adventure and thanks for the invite.

More than welcome - and the cost is nothing, I was never in this for money from day 1.

Looking forward to seeing the site.

And you know you are in as 1 of the 13. :-)

I check back into steem just now from a hiatus to see a new blockchain/website in the works! Very nice my friend, keep this going, interesting what may come of it!

Getting there, but keep hitting snags, so I am getting some other people involved from a local university.

Very nice! Congrats on the new endeavor, hope it all works out.

okay im rather confused...its not that late so I shouldnt be confused so easy. are you leaving? have you created a new chain or a token here? sounds like a token here. Awesome that you have the skills to do so :-)

But dont leave, i enjoy visiting your blog when I get then time.....

I didn't know you, but I am sad to see it. Best of luck and a classy post.

Best wishes with your new projects buddy...(Website & SMT's) I've been in and out of Steemit lately as you probably already have noticed :>)

Did you ever get reimbursed from the 'theft' (40 STM?) by one of our top witness' ? I saw 'that' after my last break on the platform...came back with a smile...left again with a frown!!!!

Cheers my friend, and no, theft seems to be a "norm" around here.

Yes...many scam artists on this platform 'allowed' to continue in their thieving ways regardless 'who' they are unfortunately.

I saw that Witness/Bot Owner's explanation to you, that "It's an auction" as a reason for him 'stealing' your funds...Hmmmnnnnn...One does not 'lose/forfeit' money at an auction simply by 'bidding'...(Not in the 'real' world) Only here on Steemit?

Be extra careful with your funds, and 'new' dealings with an un-named Witness/Bot Owner who has a history of having done the same (Even to Newbies) He used to post a message on his Bot-Site that "If you don't understand the way this works, and send too much Steem, I will consider it a 'donation" (paraphrasing) Don't know if he ever changed that behavior or not.

Even had the real wolfs service smartmarket thieve 13 steem of me last night, and I was only trying to right a wrong, and put someone back in positive monies after a toxic bernie had plunged his post into the red.

Oh...'Uncle' Bernie...? There's nothing the top dogs here will ever do to tone his antics down...They're all too afraid; he's got them under his thumb, while getting under every bodies skin...That's his favorite 'game'.

I saw that SmartMarket refunded your (53?) Steem eventually the last time...Now they have pulled a move on you again? (Maybe an error?)

You have a keen eye my friend, likes ya style.

It was 56 though, just for clarity sake lol.

Oi! You Brit bashing tea slurper you. I've been staying away from all the others sites as one is quite enough for me to concentrate on. Saying that, you've been a source of many-a-giggle with a healthy dollop of Heinz controversy, so maybe I'll come check out your new project. Sad to see you go and I guess I'll have to stay and try fill your sarcastic boots. All the best for what's ahead.

Cheers broskie, a leaving present for you? Oh go on then

Too funny! Now you must allow me to return the favour. May not be political but still worth a giggle.

Hi
I've been off line - apparently lightning hit the telephone exchange, leaving many thousands (homes and businesses) without a phone. It took me eleven days to get back on line. The modem, with 4 ports, only one working now and it was being used for wi-fi, so I solved the problem by using an extender, giving me and extra 3 ports... so I'm alive again.

Glad to see you are here - but please, don't get too transparent, my eyesight is not that good anymore.

:-) Glad to see you back, was worried there for a while.

Aggroed is asking for testers in the steem engine discord.

Whats he requiring? As in how.

Contact him?
It's testers for the exchange.

I am logged into steem engine, and can see nothing to test, unless he is doing a test on a testnet.

e was asking in the discord for testers and I thought you might like in on it, but absent you talking to him, I don't know how to get you in.

I just asked him for info on designing a wallet for off the steem engine site. Not sure he will like that idea, though I do not know what he has made to make the coins, so have no idea what wallet to build to move my tokens off it. Not sure that was their idea in the first place.

Lol, you just gotta be difficult, huh?
Yeah, I don't know how to help you with that.

I just want to print up some money that may have value at some point,...

I can't get that to load so I can look at where his delegation comes from.
It work for you?

Nope, and I have a mega fast connection too.

right, something is up with that.
It votes my posts early making the curation rewards go back to the pool.
