I have acquired many fans in my time posting on the Steem blockchain in this account. It is sad to deprecate it to witness-only duty, but when I discovered that @elfspice was free... this was my old nick and I only switched to l0k1 (at first, to loki) in order to help my fellow psychedelic IRC chat friends type my nick easier without having auto-complete write someone else's nick.
So, this is my new account's re-introduction post: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@elfspice/elfspice-is-back
I will be powering this account down into my new @elfspice account, and it will remain as the account I use for running a witness, to save hassles. There is a security issue also, that I can fix by doing this - currently I have a script running on my witness that requires a sensitive key. I will be fixing this in the next few days, since I have an always-online machine to do this with now, I did this before because I was homeless and the process of updating the price feed I couldn't guarantee I could do it in a timely fashion. Not that it matters that much as a backup witness, but it's still a hole in security.
