For the past 7 years, I've been deeply committed to Hive, working on projects like hive.io, vessel, dhive & more to strengthen our community, while providing reliable witness infrastructure to secure our blockchain. Recently, I've released an upgraded witness toolkit (peakd.com/@therealwolf/major-hive-witness-essentials-upgrade-v2) and celebrated 7+ years on Hive (peakd.com/@therealwolf/year-8). If you'd like to support my work, I'd be honored to have your witness vote. Thank you! PS: You can vote for me here: peakd.com/witnesses |

| memo | Hey @gportman I am launching a new solo witness and am looking for support. If you are unfamiliar with what I do, I wrote a post announcing my witness here: https://peakd.com/witness/@howo/annoucing-my-solo-witness. The tl;dr is that I've been on Hive for 6 years and for the past 4 I've been working as a core developer meaning I'm working directly on the blockchain code to add features. You might have interacted with some of them already like RC delegations, recurrent transfers or more recently I've been working on updating communities (new update soon !). If you want to support me, could you vote for me as a witness ? You can do it on this page https://peakd.com/me/witnesses. Thank you ! |

I've been a core developer on hive for three years now, working on features that are now powering the chain and improving user experience like RC delegations or recurrent transfers and currently wrapping up some features that will go live in hard fork 27. I'm also hosting the monthly core dev meeting. I would like to carry on working for hive for a fourth year. I am looking for support on my renewed proposal as the current one will expire soon. It's the same deal as the last one. Could you review it and maybe vote on it if it's worth your support ? https://peakd.com/me/proposals/261 Thanks a lot ! |

After a couple pages, you won’t want to be here.</em> <strong>— Choke (opening line) by Chuck Palahniuk</strong></p> <p><em>It serves me right for putting all my eggs in one bastard.</em> <strong>— The Life and Times of Dorothy Parker by Dorothy Parker </strong></p> <p><em>And she’s got brains enough for two, which is the exact quantity the girl who marries you will need.</em> <strong>— Mostly Sally by P.G. Wodehouse </strong></p> <p><em>O God, make me good, but not yet.</em> <strong>— Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh </strong></p> <p><em>Oh you exquisite little tart</em> <strong>— Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters</strong></p> <p><strong> </strong><img src="https://i.imgsafe.org/ae8d34fd0d.jpg" width="180" height="159"/></p> <p><em>To my left a Lithuanian gravedigger idly picks his nose. To my right a mortician plays Sonic on his iPhone … In the row in front a morgue rat, his head resting against his shoulder, snores loudly, a stream of drool hanging from the corner of his mouth.</em> <strong>— Necropolis by Guy Portman</strong></p> <p><em>Love, n. A temporary insanity curable by marriage.</em> <strong>— The Unabridged Devil’s Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce</strong></p> <p><em>If I could believe in myself, why not give other improbabilities the benefit of the doubt?</em> <strong>— Holidays on Ice by David Sedaris </strong></p> <p><em>Mike nodded. A sombre nod. The nod Napoleon might have given if somebody had met him in 1812 and said, ‘So, you’re back from Moscow, eh?’</em> <strong>— Mike and Psmith by P.G. Wodehouse</strong></p> <p><em>This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.</em> <strong>— The Algonquin Wits by Dorothy Parker </strong></p> <p><em>Balloon Tying For Christ was the cheapest balloon manual I could find.</em> <strong>— Clown Girl by Monica Drake</strong></p> <p><em>Waterless embalming baby, it’s the future.</em> <strong>— Necropolis</strong> <strong>by Guy Portman</strong></p> <p><em>The voice of Love seemed to call to me, but it was a wrong number.</em> <strong>— Very Good, Jeeves! by P.G. Wodehouse</strong></p> <p><strong> </strong><img src="https://i.imgsafe.org/ae950e99aa.jpg" width="200" height="191"/></p> <p><em>If you’re looking for sympathy you’ll find it between shit and syphilis in the dictionary.</em> <strong>— Barrel Fever: Stories and Essays by David Sedaris </strong></p> <p><em>As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect.</em> <strong>— The Metamorphosis and Other Stories by Franz Kafka</strong></p> <p>Free as air; that’s what they say- “free as air”. Now they bring me my air in an iron barrel. <strong>—</strong> <strong>Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh </strong></p> <p><em>A story with a moral appended is like the bill of a mosquito.

After a couple pages, you won’t want to be here.</em> <strong>— Choke (opening line) by Chuck Palahniuk</strong></p>\n<p><em>It serves me right for putting all my eggs in one bastard.</em> <strong>— The Life and Times of Dorothy Parker by Dorothy Parker </strong></p>\n<p><em>And she’s got brains enough for two, which is the exact quantity the girl who marries you will need.</em> <strong>— Mostly Sally by P.G. Wodehouse </strong></p>\n<p><em>O God, make me good, but not yet.</em> <strong>— Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh </strong></p>\n<p><em>Oh you exquisite little tart</em> <strong>— Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters</strong></p>\n<p><strong> </strong><img src=\"https://i.imgsafe.org/ae8d34fd0d.jpg\" width=\"180\" height=\"159\"/></p>\n<p><em>To my left a Lithuanian gravedigger idly picks his nose. To my right a mortician plays Sonic on his iPhone … In the row in front a morgue rat, his head resting against his shoulder, snores loudly, a stream of drool hanging from the corner of his mouth.</em> <strong>— Necropolis by Guy Portman</strong></p>\n<p><em>Love, n. A temporary insanity curable by marriage.</em> <strong>— The Unabridged Devil’s Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce</strong></p>\n<p><em>If I could believe in myself, why not give other improbabilities the benefit of the doubt?</em> <strong>— Holidays on Ice by David Sedaris </strong></p>\n<p><em>Mike nodded. A sombre nod. The nod Napoleon might have given if somebody had met him in 1812 and said, ‘So, you’re back from Moscow, eh?’</em> <strong>— Mike and Psmith by P.G. Wodehouse</strong></p>\n<p><em>This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.</em> <strong>— The Algonquin Wits by Dorothy Parker </strong></p>\n<p><em>Balloon Tying For Christ was the cheapest balloon manual I could find.</em> <strong>— Clown Girl by Monica Drake</strong></p>\n<p><em>Waterless embalming baby, it’s the future.</em> <strong>— Necropolis</strong> <strong>by Guy Portman</strong></p>\n<p><em>The voice of Love seemed to call to me, but it was a wrong number.</em> <strong>— Very Good, Jeeves! by P.G. Wodehouse</strong></p>\n<p><strong> </strong><img src=\"https://i.imgsafe.org/ae950e99aa.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"191\"/></p>\n<p><em>If you’re looking for sympathy you’ll find it between shit and syphilis in the dictionary.</em> <strong>— Barrel Fever: Stories and Essays by David Sedaris </strong></p>\n<p><em>As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect.</em> <strong>— The Metamorphosis and Other Stories by Franz Kafka</strong></p>\n<p>Free as air; that’s what they say- “free as air”.
