Thank you @eccles for checking up on me. To be honest I'm very surprised by this warm welcome from the community. I'm grateful to everyone who posted links and advice here. I thought this post will only be my short introduction but it shapes into a launchpad to Steemit World. I found myself coming back to the post for links and pieces of advice. I interpret @steemflow's advice to keep patience and post original content as it is better to take longer but prefer quality over quantity. It takes time to build steem steam ;)

Well you must also remember that the amount of attention and the rewards you get depend on which community's attention you're aiming for. As a coder familiar with crypto you should probably check out what's going on with #utopian-io (https://join.utopian.io)
Big quality posts are good, but don't delay for too long in ganging the interest for your type of content, in case you'll need to make any adjustments.
