Blockchain Account Index Status

in #blockchain7 years ago (edited)

Status: dead
Reason: steemit.com doesn't want to be an open platform. If it did, it wouldn't run things this way.

Sort:  

Can you elaborate a bit? What were you trying to achieve? What happened?

Connecting to steemd from the back end. Result:

"Missing Posting Authority"

Google it......

Me and my folks are done wasting time with these sorts of problems. They've been endemic since the BitShares era, and show no sign of improving. This is always what happens when I try to build stuff on graphene blockchain systems, and I know it's not just me. It'll work.... till it doesn't anymore and requires god knows how much maintenance.

Steemit could have done better, hell, I can do better..... so that's what I am up to.

If I had to venture a guess, I would guess that because steemit.com/wspa is now issuing 301 redirects to the new websocket endpoint, your websocket client is out of spec and isn't following those redirects to the new wss://steemd.steemit.com websocket endpoint.

If indeed that is the issue (it has bit others today), having either a working HTTP client implementation, or running your own steemd would solve this problem.

If this isn't the issue you're describing, a list of steps to reproduce would be helpful so we can squash the bug.

Its still in beta though, had this problem once too. After waiting a couple of minutes and restarting my browers it worked again.

Sure, and that works when one person is trying to accomplish something at once.

Now, imagine you want to have your web site integrate with steem, but it's got as many users as steem, and needs to integrate reliably. ....and all the sudden you're trapped in the "yeah, we said you could build that, but we didn't mean you could like, actually build that" box.

well, that would be bad. But i´m more the "good things take time" kind of guy :)

Is this a bug that's being fixed?

I think the people running steemit consider it to be a feature.

I'm running product at steemit, and I haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about because you haven't offered a bug report or even a description of your problem.

Your claim that steemit.com doesn't want to be an open platform is completely untrue, though.

Re: Bug report - yeah, I tried that already, a bunch.

Re: While that may be the case I don't see many buying that particular tune. Playing about with the API is a graphene classic from time immemorial, and old habits die hard.

I think some believe it to be clever.

come on faddat, give it one more go. It looks like sneak genuinely wants to help. I haven't a clue about the issue you are alluding to but it sounds important.

sneak...if he's already supplied specifics in a bug report (other priorities notwithstanding) perhaps you could take a look and get back to him? He obviously feels he's getting nowhere with something critical.

No, no one gets ten tries. I should have stopped at three. Nothing personal, either. I just have things that pay off better for my time.

Is your argument "because the API changes periodically, that is proof that the Steem Blockchain doesn't want to be an open platform"?

If so, that's ridiculous. If not, please help me understand better.

Can you explain this away?

Oh and I would have brought it to you folks directly but I was deleted from your slack.

If so, that's ridiculous. Agreed with you entirely.

That's not why. If you can't figure out why then you haven't looked far enough into the history of what you're now working on. And I would, if I was you.

Thank you. All of my posts have been this way lately. I wonder why that is?
