Friendly Neighborhood Hugsband Reporting InsteemCreated with Sketch.

Hello Steemit! I've recently signed up and been lurking around a bit, finally choosing today as the proper time to make an introduction post. I find myself quite drawn to both the concept and community here around Steemit and look forward to hopefully making a content contribution while I enjoy the same from others.

As a bit of background, I am 23 years old, proudly married, a tech (and game) enthusiast, creative writing hobbyist, and probably some others things. The majority of my career has been spent in network technology so far, largely at ISP level, including my current role as a Network Engineer III. I thoroughly enjoy the scope of my work, and definitely things well beyond especially in relation to tech; cryptocurrency is one of my more recent endeavors in regards to the latter.

Over the past month or so, I've become familiar with (and established two miners as part of the undertaking), Proof-of-Work systems and their general workings. The miners are currently partaking in a LBRY pool as I found that project a bit interesting, but was considering looking around for others to mess about in. On that note, the heat output is much more than (probably foolishly) anticipated; they live in the laundry room now and for the truly worthy days of late, I've hooked up my portable A/C to assist. My wife absolutely adores this facet of recent activity; laundry time is exhilarating in the added heat, plus the clothes dry faster! The joys (read: space restrictions) of one-bedroom apartments are indeed endless.

As an additional experience, I've established some exchange accounts and have been dabbling in the trading aspect. I find the volatility rather exciting, and hope to understand more about what influences some of the swings soon. There is always an intriguing component, even to staring at a price it seems, in that you try to derive some estimate of value based on a perceived utility or basis for each currency. Though I am admittedly less than touched by a natural aptitude in this, it still checks the boxes on both the learning and fun points.

As far as around here on Steemit. I really am not certain on a particular type of content that I'd like to commit too; indeed, it may be the case that I post on a quite a variety of things. Unquestionably, I aim to take that approach in my consumption of content on the platform. In any case, all of that to say: hello to everyone and I'm glad to have the chance to be here! Looking forward to becoming acquainted with Steemit and the people that bring it to life.
