## CTP Site work and our current roadmap

Hey all. Much thanks to @imfarhad and @pjansen in our 3Steps Discord for encouraging me to write a post on Hive. There's a lot I could say but I'd like to keep it short.

## CTP Websites
The websites currently are down, but should be up within the next couple of days, although not 100% functional in some areas. This includes clicktrackprofit.com, 3steps.today, ctpx.io, listnerds.com, etc.

I purchased these sites and the token ownership from the previous owner, and had some significant life events that occurred (read below).

However, I've now got the skeleton of the sites set up, and am working on the https\TLS certificate portion so that everything is secure. Instead of paying a hosting company, I registered a local business here in Sterling, CO, and have a set up a private cloud.

This consists of 5 physical servers configured as Proxmox hypervisors in a cluster, with a 20 TB storage SAN, and a dedicated 1 Gb Up\Down internet circuit dedicated to the sites.

As far as the Hive Engine node we need, I've purchased a dedicated cloud server for the node. That's one of the key components I need, and I would rather have that located with a different company so I can use all my resources in-house for other projects and servers I have running in VMs.

Today (Mon May 26) I also paid for a developer to set up the node for us, to give me additional time to work on the sites themselves.



## ThreeSteps Private Issues

I'd like to thank everyone for your patience over the last while. I struggled immensely with depression and other issues due to my brain damage from my fall, and the fact that my father passed away. After working with my neuropsych doctors and therapist, I am back in the saddle and working on the CTP Tribe sites again. :)

Also, for 100% complete transparency, when my father passed nearly a year ago, I went off the deep end, and started drinking heavily. The results for me and my family were catastrophic.

The day we buried him was the worst. The next day after his final services, I decided I couldn't live that way anymore. I attended my first Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting.

I've been sober and clean every since. Today makes 11 months and 16 days (350 days total so far) that I have been completely sober and no longer smoking pot. I continue to go to weekly meetings to make sure I stay on the right path.

All of this would not have been possible without the Lord, which in the AA/NA world, they call your "Higher Power". Living each day clean and without alcohol has radically changed my thinking and the way I live.

All this to say that I am back and working dilligently on our CTP resources.

## Thanks Everyone!

I'm grateful for all of the support and patience, and looking forward to our CTP tribe going onwards and upwards.

Peace and Love,

Rob (aka @threesteps)
