Nice intriguing start - look forward to more. And the Outrun-style cover is awesome.

I guess the most important question is: will it do a Galaxy Note and burst into flames while you're wearing it? :)

You're welcome - it was helpful to actually write that down for the first time!

Yes, good point - I forgot about the storage coins. Maidsafe is particularly interesting, I think, because the technology behind it has been in development for so long and the main developer, David Irvine,

I'd say there a few different sub-sectors within the crypto-currency space: The backbone currencies: bitcoin and ethereum. Everything else is going to be highly correlated to these two: if they fail,

Micropayments in games, e.g, for player-created content or prizes, is one of the ways that blockchain tech could genuinely start to get mainstream traction. Not sure about Steem, but I know that Stratis

The idea is to weaken anything associated with the West in order to build up the rest of the world. That’s one reason the BRICs were created (by Goldman Sachs) Come on. Brazil, Russia, India and China

I agree with you that finding active users - and, more specifically, active readers, - is Steemit's biggest challenge right now. Without an extrinsic source of demand (like the Steemit account buying SP

Lately, I've been taking a lot of inspiration from photography posted on Steemit and random photos I found on Google Image Search, like this one that made me write my crime series The Horse Van (Part 1

That sounds pretty good - thanks for the info. If you fancy checking out my new scifi series, the first chapter is here.

Liked the premise of this, nicely done - 13 stories in 13 days would kill me, let alone 21. Wasn't aware of Payhip before, so thanks for the heads up on that. How do you find it? I'm trying to figure out

Oh wow, that was great. That steadily building sense of bleakness, and then the ambiguous resolution at the end was terrific.
