@sneakdotberlin

Hi there! I'm Jeffrey Paul (sometimes known as @sneak), a American-born hacker and researcher living in Berlin, Germany.

I'm particularly passionate about consensual, voluntary interactions and censorship resistant publishing and payments. It's impossible to directly perform violence via IP packets, which means a neutral internet rapidly approaches the ideal solution for humans to participate freely and consensually in the marketplace of ideas. Steem is a huge and important step toward that goal of free and unrestricted access to publishing and information for all human beings.

I've been hacking on networks, systems, code, and crypto for about twenty years, and writing and speaking and consulting on cryptocurrencies since 2009.

In the process I founded a nonprofit "freenet" provider of mail and hosting services to artists and musicians, a small and focused consulting organization, and a cryptocurrency recovery key service. An expert in real-world engineering solutions, development methodologies, cutting edge ops, monitoring, and modern information security practices, I've worked extensively in varied engineering and technical leadership roles safeguarding extremely high-value information and the reliability of critical services for companies specializing in markets like payment card processing, secure communications, and financial services.

I've just discovered Steem in the last few weeks, and I couldn't be more excited to participate (in all of: the development, the p2p network/blockchain, and the content/community)!

Follow me here to keep up on my security and engineering work around Steem. Here's a little taste from the last few days:
