Hey, @janton.

There are a fewer writers, like there are a few artists, who make names for themselves, but there's plenty who just grind out stories. At least they're getting paid to do it. :)

re: offline work

Not really. Some of the downtime I've had was because of the new grandson being born, and wife being home, so there were some yard chores that got done. The rest of the time I've been fighting off this malaise that comes and goes. It doesn't help when people make you think there is a community voice, but there really isn't a community voice. But a lot of people like to think there is, so they run around all gung-ho only to find out things aren't all what they thought they were.

re: MEOS

Quillfire has a flare for sure. The way things seem to work, however, is there will be plenty of fanfare, and there will be quite a few people drawn to it, and then the proof will be in the reality of how things work the first sign of trouble. Will the same things that plague STEEM show up through MEOS, or whatever it's going to be called (that's actually a pretty decent name).

I doubt that EOS will be given 1:1 to STEEM users who jump ship and open an EOS account, and at current market value, my stake is worth just over 360 EOS, a far cry from what it is in STEEM. I suppose if EOS moons, then it would be good to have even that, but it's more likely after all this build up that something will disappoint, rather than live up to heightened expectations.

We'll see. Only a few days left now to see what the actual announcement is. And to me, it sounds like something that will have compatibility on multiple chains, whatever it is, and however that might work.
