OSS Donations
As promised, the liquid rewards (~900 STEEM) from Who is @furion? post are being donated to OSS projects. I have decided to pick one steem, and one non-steem project.
#1 - Busy.org
500 STEEM goes to busy. They have been doing fantastic job with busy.org, steemconnect.com and steem javascript libraries.

#2 - Antergos
400 STEEM (sent as BTC) goes to Antergos, an Arch Linux based OS. They are making Arch easier to use, and thus more mainstream friendly. I use it on my main workstation, where all the magic happens.
I spend most of my time here ^^
Big thanks to steemit community for making all of this possible :)
Very nice @furion. Appreciate what you do man.
I love Antergos as well but I have experienced many times after a big update I got either kernel panic or some kind of Gnome bugs so I can't start it up anymore. So I switch back to Gentoo-based Sabayon (it's not cutting edge but very stable).
My new development environment: a Hackintosh and connect to steemd and cli through docker (thanks to @someguy123 for his instruction since I never used docker before).
It's absolute gorgeous if you have 4K monitor. Linux still can't match in term of scaling HiDPI
Totally true fact that I hate:
OSX might be better than Linux for software development :(.
We'll keep working on it....
BTW my recommendation to either of you if you do the multi-monitor game is a curved 4k TV to replace all of them. Also this is totally inspiring me to write up my ultimate workstation :D.
I gave away my rMBP a few months ago, and surprisingly, I am not missing it.
Sure, we don't have all the fancy apps, although for me personally, the ecosystem is totally sufficient.
I've been running Antergos + Gnome with 3 monitors without issues. Its not perfect, but overall I find it to be less broken than Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. The trick is to use LTS kernel, everything just works™.
Thank you for your support @furion
we need more people like you in this community <3

That's really a very nice deed of you!
Its a great feeling when you can give something for causes you love.
Im now making a shameless plug for BOINC, a way to use all of that spare computing power to help science cure diseases and much more. Even better team Gridcoin are well represented on the BeyondBitcoin hangouts.
how can i post?
That's an amazing initiative!
I believe that the guys from Busy are changing the game here, so it's a great investment too
Thanks for sharing! Very good post, very interesting .. @furion Followed and upvoted! I'm new to Steemit, I invite you to visit my post, upvoted and follow me @Sandra16 Help me?
Great post !
I didn't know about busy and Antergos.
I'm currently with Manjaro wich is also an Arch-Based Distro. And I can possibly move to Antergos. Do you know the differences between Manjaro and Antergos ? I'm curious about that ! :)
