A Steemit invite. Or- Oh gosh I'm finally catching on. Or- Did you say currency? Or- Hold on. I'm just getting on with it

Hi. This is not the post. The post is quoted below the line. It's what I will be posting elsewhere on my other places as a little heads up to my buds. Tho maybe in edited chunks. Then I realised I should just post it here first as the source.

Thanks also Steemies for the little chats today, I've been waaaaay sidetracked and life and I'll be back tomorrow to check notifications. Best xx

I’m on a blockchain. And maybe this is a heads up for my creative/activist/writer/organiser friends

I'm Aeryn, I make art. I've tried various ways of monetising my work in the past. I have a lot of work on my computer and in my head. I have just started a new website to post my work. But I realistically expect that to largely be a vanity project. I like my work and I want the world to see it. I want to be paid for it. Not my time, not any product I might make. These are pennies that come and go. But I need a real income despite the fact that I am unable to work. But I do sometimes produce a thing. A unit of art. Is the act of production something I could be paid for?

So, I have a blog stored within, or on top of, and encrypted? by a blockchain. It’s got a cryptocurrency and stability and permanence. I tried a thing last year that failed. I almost made 80USD off it but they shut it down abruptly. This seems maybe loads better. And blockchain is something that's been just beyond my peripheral vision a while now. And now I'm starting realise I don't want to ignore it any longer – it could actually really help me. I really need to help myself and loved ones right now due to circumstances and life things, and employment isn't an option. I saw tsu as a potential income, maybe this could be.

So far, it’s been a friction free blogging platform-experience for me, I can write posts in markdown. The web page works perfectly in Chrome app on my iPad as a basic markdown editor with a nice smooth image upload. It’s optionally monetised, and comments and votes, replies and so on as most other places.

But also a whole boat load of out-there concepts with blockchains and cryptocurrencies, other networks or comms channels, that intuitively makes sense on a macro level but becomes way too bright and shiny as soon as I try to look at it :) but it's starting to sink in and it's fascinating to me, some of this. It's getting my geeky senses tingling. Ha.
