I wonder a little if you know what foundations Steem(it) uses. It is a (obviously industry-grade) blockchain that builds on Graphene. Still you don't even mention graphene.
My impressions from various mailing list discussion of the above mentioned projects is that they still don't make a clear distinction between different parts of a blockchain technology:
- database (implemented as blockchain)
- consensus (POW, POS, DPOS ...)
- business logics (Script, EVM, smart contracts...)
Maybe for that reason, they are writing their stuff from skretch not leveraging the lessions learn from the Open Source community around blockchain technology.
Interesting - Im just experimenting with Steemit - testing out by posting an article. Have to say it's a splash manual on the old formatting front - but I see it's potential. I'm going to ask one of our journalists to do a write up - how can I get hold of the Steemit founders for arranging an interview?
The founder is @ned and the CTO is Daniel Larimer @dantheman/@dan. Notifications on Steem are currently in the works, but you can reach them directly using Slack. You can get your invitation to the steem slack here.
Thanks for this info!
Have you been successful with the interview and does there exist a published write up?
