Steem Development Proven On Github

in #busy6 years ago

@trevonjb posted a wonderful chart that he found in a Medium article. It is an audit of the development from the blockchain world on Github for the month of September.

For most of this year I thought the progress of this blockchain was sensational. The reason for it is because of all the development that is taking place. Not only do you have the Steemit team hard at work but, also, many of the creators of the DApps going hard at it. We are starting to see many sensational applications starting to roll out.

It is good to see the numbers validate what we were witnessing throughout the year.

For the month of September, we see that Steem ranked 8th in terms of the development according to the audit of Github. This is pretty good for a blockchain that the market values at number 41 according to coinmarketcap.com.

Here is the full chart and an explanation of what each category means.

Steem ranks ahead of some notables as Stellar, Tron, Monero, BCash, and Ripple. For one month at least, Steem was busy at work.

Many of us are of the same mindset: Steem is a blockchain that is a hidden gem. It is completely overlooked by the mainstream although it does seem to be getting a bit of attention.

Through out voting, we were able to get STEEM listed as a part of the Netcoins ATM network. According to a post made the other day, it is already completed.

Netcoins Holdings Inc. (“NETC” or the "Company") (CSE: NETC) (OTC: GARLF) is pleased to announce that it has listed Steem, available for purchase effective immediately, via our OTC Private Brokerage Services business and our 21000+ retail locations in Australia, Europe and Canada. Steem is the 13th in a series of altcoins and tokens to be listed by Netcoins.

The other day, a blog called a bankofhodlers did a write up about Steem making people aware of what the platform is. It was a general write up along with an introduction video. Nothing earth-shattering here but nice to see.

We also saw STEEM and SBD getting listed on the StellarX decentralized exchange. This was thanks to the efforts of @steemanchor team.

There are even non-developers getting into the developer game. Here is a post by @avral introducing DTrips, a Steem-based application that allows travelers to share their experiences. It is a front end application that is pushes the posts through to Steem.

None of this is an overnight process. It is going to take the work of hundreds of developers all working on different projects that they bring to market. It is the applications that are going to ultimately garner the attention from the public. The speculators might find the token through some other means but users, they will end up being brought here by the apps. We are starting to see a number of them already reaching outside the blockchain. I expect this to continue as we enter the new year.

Without development, the best blockchain in the world will have nothing to offer. Look at how many of the top 15 in terms of marketcap rank way down on the list in development. Of course, this could be a hiccup since it is the result for only one month but it is telling.

There are a lot of coins out there that have a high marketcap with little to nothing taking place on them.

This is not the case with Steem. It has a lot of activity which is going to result in attracting a large number of users over time.

We just need to be patient and let the process play out.

Steem open platform is the worst nightmare for closed social systems, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Reddit, LinkedIn and so on.

And the reason is specifically because open software development engages a lot of enthusiastic parties into its orbit.

But this time Steem open social platform offers something very different: simple monetization for app creators. This is now a well funded enthusiasm!

Amen.

I'm happy to see Steem within the top 10. In fact, I am also happy to see IPFS being heavily under development as well. I think IPFS will be a crucial part of our internet in the future and the function of the Steem blockchain as well.

For those that engage daily here, this should not have come as a surprise given how much of the development we experience here. The amount of DApps presenting and developing their ideas here is amazing and although some disappear, it feels like most gather a good number of followers and foster a community for more development based on the feedback of those engaged there. I think it is very promising for the future of the ecosystem!
