In Bezug auf steemit inc und steemmonster finde ich folgenden Hinweis von gestern sehr interessant:

Removed Reliance on Steemit, Inc

After the recent announcements we felt it was no longer prudent to rely on any services provided by Steemit, Inc. We are very happy to report that Steem Monsters now has no reliance on Steemit, Inc in any way. If they were to shut down all of their services right now, Steem Monsters will continue to run unaffected.

We were able to move off of the Steemit, Inc API node very quickly thanks to @anyx, who has done some amazing work over a very short time period to optimize and run an RPC node which offers performance exceeding any we've seen to date.
