This feels like writing my first post on Steemit.
I'm not even sure where to start ...
I have come a long way since I first joined Steemit.
Less than a year ago, I had no idea about blockchain technology.
I had never touched Linux before.
Even though I had heard of it, I had never even looked at github.
I had never expected to have a blog.
I can't even remember, how I got here ...
Today I would like to announce my intention to sign blocks for Steem.
Needless to say, I'm not experienced in running a server.
I'm mainly in it for the same reason I ended up here: curiosity.
With some help, I got my freshly rented server all set up and as far as I can tell, it's ready to start its job.
Before I signal my intentions to the network, it's recommended to make a post like this and publicly announce what I'm here for and what I plan on doing ...
Honestly: I'm not sure yet.
I will continue to support new users, help building communities, upvote good content and I will also try to complain less.
This Steemit has been a very positive experience for me and I would like to get to know it better, help it grow and (if I can) sign some blocks.
As soon as this post is sent, I will try to broadcast my intent to the network.
