Hello there, I'm Gandalf, I'm around for quite a bit, trying to do my best for the platform. Infrastructure and security are my things, blogging not so much, but I guess reading my posts might give you some clue who I am. I was on every SteemHiveFest since 2016 where you could meet me in person. I used to help and run steem.chat which before discord era was the used off-chain form of instant communication for users (80k+ active users back in the days). Now it's OpenHive.Chat run by @followbtcnews (& @crimsonclad) where I keep the lights on, and we still have some good ideas for improvements and development using Hive integration. I help various people to deal with Hive (that includes begginers level on chat's #help channel, but mainly hardcore stuff for devs & exchanges.
