List: The Voices in Bob’s Head

[BobWay]

This is my personal vanity thread. I noticed that the forum doesn’t seem to have any “presence” feature I can use to indicate when I’m active or sleeping.

I’m normally pretty private about where I am and what I’m doing at any moment. I don’t tweet, instagram or otherwise livestream my life, because really who cares to know.

But, in launching the club and leaving for a whole day with so many great questions unanswered made me feel really guilty. I’d hate for any of you to think I’m ignoring your particular question or comment.

So I decided to invent this thread as my own personal “presence” feature. That way you’ll know what I’m doing instead (before) I answer your long waiting question.

Sorry to be silent yesterday.

I spent the morning answering some written interview questions. It was more time consuming than I expected. It will be published soon. I’ll post a link when the story is posted online.

Immediately after that I spent the early afternoon driving to Austin to meet David. SxSW is going on and he is speaking there and at the University of Texas.

David and I along with four others from Austin spent the evening chatting. I was very exhilarating we all had a blast. One was a long term hacker friend of mine, Brian (LowTec) Meixell. He’s now making a great living as a cyber security expert . One was Andrew White from the early One Million Gateway’s project. He brought a friend as well. They were coming from the Concensus party at SxSW. While walking through the lobby they ran into someone else’s they met at that party and he came along too. (I won’t dox the people I don’t know well)

One of the most entertaining thing of the evening was that Andrew’s friend was very active in the Etherium community, but he knew nothing at all about Ripple (RCL) except that most in the Etherium community loathed it. So we spent a lot of the evening explaining what the ledger is, atomic rippling payment, social credit and all the things I’d like to explain to all of you here.

Last night was a crazy night. Sparked by the evening I had lots of lucid dreams sparking many many new ideas. Including the idea for this thread.

I’m now sitting in a diner in Austin attempting to write them down before I forget. After that it is back in the car for the drive back home. I should be back online this evening.

doh, typo

[BobWay]

I'm back from the drive and have finished up some obligations. But I really need a nap. I'm going to lay down for nap. After that I'll contemplate how to respond to each and everyone one of you putting in time to help me.

[BobWay]

I've had an amazing few days. Simply off the hook. So many new ideas to talk about. I wrote down 20 new bullet points in my notebook from my lucid dream alone.

But today I'm going to read and comment on everything I haven't been able to read in the past couple of days. Then I'll get started on the backlog from the original "Hi, I'm Bob!" thread.

Sorry it is taking so long to get caught up. I had no idea this club would be 600+ members in just a few days!  Thank you so much! It makes me realize what a debt I already owe to all of you!

[BobWay]

Getting So much attention and accolades that should be owed to Hodor, that I'm having trouble getting done what. I'm being accoladed for, actually answering your questions. Oh the irony. Maybe some rum will chill me out. It's Friday!

[BobWay]

Having lunch with my kids today.

After that I'll finish my story and tell you my current price.

Then back to answering the question backlog.

Feel free to "like" particular questions. I'll look at those to help order my work in answering. I'm going to dedicate the rest of the weekend to catching up.

If you want to follow along and make sure you don't miss anything I post. You can see my forum activity here. @Flintstone reminds me that there is a follow button on my profile. Press that and you'll get notifications when I post. I edited the top post so those new to the forum will see that. I also locked this to the top for the moment. I don't know any way to mark threads that I've replied in recently. But I will attempt to use the prefix "Answer:" to mean that I have written something in the thread that responded to a particular forum user's question. If anyone knows of a better method please PM me or discuss in "Chat: General".

The introduction thread has so many great posts that it really warms my heart!  I read everyone. I've tried not to respond in there because I don't want it to become a chat thread. I think it is awesome the way it is. Some of you have asked questions there. Please feel free to ask those in "Chat: General" or to PM me if you like to talk privately.

I've pinned "List: Most Impactful Things You've Learned" to the top at least for today. Because that is the most important thread in the forum to me!  Please keep letting me know what was impactful to you personally. That is the fuel I need to keep me going.

---

Today I'm going to reminisce less and move on to talking about the immediate future. So what is this book all about? Expect that to be the next major thread that I create. I'm pivoting a little in my ideas and I want to see if any of you get excited about it.

I'll also try to pick a question or two out of the backlog of unanswered questions. Please like your favorites so I get to them first.

Like,  for instance, sending a bunch of XRP to tinyaccounts wallet?   Heck yeah....     

 

Please note:  my posting here is a blatant abuse of my fortunate position as club creator....

So yesterday wan't my favorite day. It seems that my PSA numbers took a significant jump. I'm going to have some more tests to figure out why the cancer didn't respond to treatment as well as expected. It isn't immediately life threatening. In fact, my number as still at the high end of the normal range for men in general. It is just that the numbers should be well on their way to the lowest end of that range by now. So on the scale of 1 (paper cut) to 10 (house lost in a hurricane), let's call this news a 2.  I was hoping to stop thinking about it and move on. Now I need to think about it periodically, while still moving on.

And that is what I'm going to use you fine folks for, distraction!  Let's talk about and play with XRP and the XRP Ledger. That is way more fun than talking about life's little bumps in the road.

Wow, when I get though responding to all my PM's, emails and personal tweets, I'm already tied and in need of a nap. Boy I'm getting old!

 

[BobWay]

I had a nice weekend going out and meeting people from the XRP Community.

Polly made a video of it here.  Give her a like and a subscribe if you enjoy it!
