It's been half a year since I last posted here. I really hadn't seen myself doing so again, until last night. I've missed many of you, and will admit from time to time I check your posts despite not logging in. It's for those of you I do miss I decided I needed to post at least one more time.

Many of you might not be aware, but Hive was not the only split from Steem after Justin took control of the chain. There was another split called Blurt. A snapshot was taken of accounts there, and whatever stake you held then have been sitting in an account there waiting for you to claim them. It uses your same keys from Steem, just as Hive did/does.

The urgency for claiming your account is this.

Due to many factors, largely due to code exploits and hacking, A new community will be formed using a non graphene code called Cosmos. This switch over is to occur in the next 6-12 weeks, dependent on their testing.

Once they have satisfied themselves on the stability, they will be airdropping new keys and wallets to current Blurt users. I'm not sure of the specifics, but I do know you will need to be in possession of your account now to be onboarded for the new airdrop. 

I would urge you to come over and claim your account, if you haven't already done so. While I'm not here to argue the merits of the project, I will say a couple things on it.

* I claimed my account about nine days ago, and so far really love the community there. There isn't all the bickering going on there. 

* If you claim your account, I urge you to check the community out while waiting for the new airdrop. You might find, like myself, a wonderful community and decide its worth staying.

* Even if you don't stick around, you deserve to claim your airdrop. These are your coins, already airdropped once. Even if you plan on cashing them out, the sooner you do so the better. Not claiming them is leaving YOUR money, your coins on the table. Depending on how much you had in your wallet at the time of the snapshot, you by default earned this drop waiting for you. Think of it as further remuneration for the effort you've already done. You earned yours just as much as those of us who have gone there and decided we like the community. Please don't leave your money sitting on the table to be lost.

I appreciate so many of you here, it would take a long time to acknowledge you individually. I'm pretty sure most of you know who you are. I thank each of you and if our paths don't cross again, know it was an honor to have enjoyed your perspectives and talents. If I do see you again, welcome to Blurt.

You can find your coins here.
