Nothing very special today. I worked from 3:00 am till a bit later than 7:00 am! I was sleepy the whole session lol. Then slept at 8 am but bloody woke up at 12 for some odd reasons. I could not go back to sleep until 4:30 pm to wake up again at 8:30 pm to get ready for another shift from 9:00 pm until 01:00 am.
This afternoon, while not being able to sleep, I decided I'd resume the development for my Javascript version of the POCKET's Confirmer Python code.
What is POCKET?
POCKET stands for Proof Of Concept Electronic Token (the K is silent).
It is a sub-token designed to operate on the Steem blockchain and interact with its users through a simple set of commands which users can invoke via interfaces such as Steemit.com and Busy.org. Please see the POCKET announcement on Steemit and the POCKET Genesis Post.
POCKET is a project by 
The distribution of POCKET tokens has already stopped but many people still own some tokens and distributing them as tips via the comments. Here is an example:
In the screenshot above, 
pocketsend:11@ninegagbot, play around with the token of fun - POCKET!
That command means is formatted as followed
pocketsend:amount@recipient,MEMO
Easy isn't it?
Now, POCKET still needs some kind of witnesses to verify transactions like this, they are called Confirmers. From the screenshot above, you could see a reply by 
POCKET-JS
I've been interested in this Proof Of Concept since I discovered it when I spotted a pocketsend command on one of 
- the database
- the constants
- the validator
- the voter class
I still need to complete these:
- the confirmer class
- sending comments and upvotes to the STEEM blockchain
- linking all the classes together
There are also unit tests on the database and validator codes.

Password and Private Keys security
You all know that your Steem password is the access to all your STEEM, SBD, posting, transferring, everything... right?
So, please, follow these simple steps and keep yourself safe:
- Apart from the initial setup of your account, NEVER use your password ANYWHERE, if stolen, it will give full control to your Steem account.
- Backup your password and keep it somewhere safe. Use a password manager like Lastpass, print it on paper and put it in a safe (no kidding). If you forget your password, no one can help you out.
- To login for creating content and curating, use your Private Posting Key
- To make transfers and account operations, use your Private Active Key
- To encrypt and decrypt memos, use your Private Memo Key
