A Crypto-Lurker Says Hi, Steemit!

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

Greetings, and thanks to @lukestokes, a colleague in the PHP community, for making me aware of Steem!

Go check him out, AFTER you've finished reading this!

This #introduceyourself post is primarily to tell you who I am, and to demonstrate that I am indeed who I say I am,
so you can rest assured that this isn't a fake account with a fake introduction attempting to unjustifiably attract
attention and financial reward.

For reference, see:

and posts such as this one:

This post is also a bit of an experiment in correctly posting a message whose author is independently verifiable.

Here are some identity proofs:

Though not active on Facebook, here's my page https://www.facebook.com/clark.everetts

I may post appropriate messages on the above, referring to this post, and I'll try PGP-signing them, with
signatures verifiable using my public key info at https://keybase.io/clarkeveretts

If you've already been "Steemin' On" with an account here and happen to know me, especially in person, and can
satisfy yourself that I am in fact who I say I am, then it would be great if you could leave a comment vouching for me,
to add another layer to the verification. Of course, if I know you, I'll return the favor.

If all goes well, and I PGP sign, copy, and paste this message correctly (I'm a software developer, so no
guarantees), AND if I don't get bitten by a problem with Markdown or unanticpated line wraps, then you'll be
able to verify the signed message at https://keybase.io/verify - although if you're familiar with PGP or keybase
command line tools, the best way to verify would be with the command line tools.

That is all. See you soon. Good night, and good luck.
