Hi

We have not abandon SHIFT. I have been on a leave for being sick. Spent several weeks an a hospital. Lets say, it has been alot for me lately. Part time work as a IT-consultant combined with university studies, SHIFT and IRL-life became to much and i went straight into the wall. In other words, a major depression. People seem to think that running a serious crypto currency is a piece of cake, well it is not i can say. And it is definitely not worth it in terms of economic income, it is nearly zero. Those who earned money on this is the miners, without a doubt. But you dont see they mention this. No "thanks for doing a good job".

I have been told by my public relations advisor not to be rude, but when the above writes "1 day off and then i smells rotten", to you i want to say. Fuck you dear sir. Seriously, fuck you:)

Regarding the block explorer, we have no money to pay for it. Etherchain wants 0,2 BTC in SHF. People dont seem to understand that this is quite alot in our current state. We did not have a 11M premine like EXP nor do we have anything close to ETH (but thats fair, its their development in the first place).

Development will be starting again when i feel better. By then i hope to see almindor around as well.

Regards
Joey

Miners are voluntary workers for the network. They must acquire equipment which costs money and pay energy, to secure the network. Nearly all the time it was more profitable to mine eth than shf still some people myself included chose shf in hope it would be a good development and to help the network.

Several weeks in the hospital? You were here and ok last week. I do hope you get better nonetheless. You might wanna try benzodiazepines or SSRIs. Fluoxetine should work well for that.

You have no idea when these events occurred (you were her last week and was OK?) are you aware that there are several people in SHIFT has access to this account? Dude you have no idea how much medication i have been on during the last 15 years. But thanks for the suggestion

Also, claiming that hospitals does not have WiFi is pretty ignorant.

Personally i do not believe in "mining" in the long term. It will be replaced sooner or later. In fact, i think it is pretty stupid to reach consensus by wasting energy like this. PoS will most likely not work in our paradigm as well since it contradicts the whole idea of decentralization, the wealth of the few. We are in the beginning, mining was the first step. PoS the second one.. lets see what happens. The strive of making an economy as similar to the one we already have is just plain stupid because it now builds on exploitation of earthly resources which is not sustainable and will sooner or later collapse. Wasting energy is one of these stupid things, like PoW.
