Introducing a Gareth
# Introducing a Gareth

![](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CKIsTePVEAAfkCU.jpg)

Why hello everyone who reads these intro posts. I am Gareth Nelson - a standard geek with standard geek interests.
Some of you may recogonise my name as the former CTO at BitInstant, but aside from my interest in cryptocurrency I am also quite into biohacking/transhumanism, music and caffeine.

Especially caffeine - it is god.

There is not much more to say in this intro post other than steem looks like it could lead to great things and I have great plans for it.

Welcome to Steemit Gareth. Funny I just took a break from working on an article which will link to older podcasts of mine with two guests discussing transhumanism (as it pertains to long term space travel). I'm following you now, follow back if desired and you'll see the article in your feed - perhaps tomorrow, not sure if I'll get it done before my night job.
Anyways, if you're already familiar with Bitcoin, you have quite a leg up on many of us here.
Best, Guy

Interesting subject, i'm generally more interested in the practical side of things - using nootropics and implants to upgrade the human body.

I've written a LOT of code while cholinergic agents swim through my bloodstream.

That sounds fascinating indeed. I might ask you to join me on the podcast to talk about that sometime? We can promote your Steemit site and maybe other work. Oh and btw, with those interests and "cs" as your patron, I bet you're going to kill it here. So long as you can write in English as well that is, haha. Actually I could be wrong about that stipulation upon second thought...

Welcome to the community Gareth.  I hope you feel at home here:)  

You might get more attention though if you just give some kind of verification because people have sometimes tried to impersonate others on here.  

You can either post a photo of yourself holding a sheet of paper with your Steemit name or post a link to your profile here on on of your blogs/other websites whichever you prefer.

All the best!

Hi there

The device you see in my picture is an electrode for a CES (Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation) machine that I built from an arduino.

It's a pretty simple device actually - you can generate biphasic square waves by just toggling 2 pins on the arduino's output so 1 is high and the other is low, then swapping every few ms - the delay between the swap determines the output frequency.

Most sources say 0.5 to 2.0hz is ideal for relieving anxiety/depression and boosting focus and i'd agree with them. If you build such a device yourself please take care to use a few resistors on the output, you should just barely feel the current when applied to the electrodes.

Also, disclaimer: don't build any sort of device that interacts with your body based on what I say - i'm not a doctor or anything, i'm just some guy on the internet.
