Check the tag #steempunks. Punisher because it is intended that Steem be "radically changed" as a result. Unfortunately I have done all the persuasion and various kinds of efforts required to expose the fact that Steem is stagnating badly. I even forced @ned's hand to order the rollout of v0.19.1rc1 (you're welcome) by my 'undiplomatic' 'aggressive' post asking when we are going to get fixes for a number of really serious bugs. I got banned from the github for 'feature requests' in the issues, but in my opinion both issues were real bugs, just not of the simple logic error level, but on game theory and UX levels.
They are not open to genuine input into the governance process. This is why I have to reboot the whole thing.
Hey thanks for the explanation. I was happy about it for about two days, and Steem is still based on Bitcoin price variations, so Steem wasn't the only thing that stagnated. It was just bad timing because the market dropped so everyone went from yay to blah... stagnation.
It would be nice to have a visualization of all the different Steemit projects and how they interconnect. I feel it's becoming a little over and underwhelming at the same time for people.
Yeah, that's the reason for this project. It's basically what I have been planning and designing for quite a long time, but the need for the resolution of bugs, the need for promised feature implementations, and the need for a change of the underlying structure of the data storage for Steem is now becoming pressing, to my acute sensors...
I've tried to presennt well thought out arguments and point out the plethora of serious prisoner dilemmas in the design of Steem, but they don't want to have it, because they don't really care about onboarding, they just got their eyes on their rewards balances.
That's how it is, I guess.
Speaking of assholes, Exodus wallet has got EOS now... Yet there's no Monero or Zcash or LBRY or any of the other top 15 cryptos in there. Someone has got friends in high places who don't care their little protege likes to leave bad game rules in his stuff so that the early adopters can milk the late comers.
It just makes no sense to me. How many million bux worth of cryptos will buy you the keys to the gates of heaven?? Or even a reputation, in 10 years time...
I was thinking about your reply and wondered if you had thought about using Siacoin for your storage issue. I own quite a few of them and they just came out with plans for a new chip to specifically to mine with less resistance. Sia.tech
I'm not sure what relevance that has - I'm just saying, that the monolithic, graph database used in Steem, combined with large blobs of text, which is a big no-no in graph databases, is leading quickly to a situation where Steem may fail due to endlessly expanding requirement for Shared Memory in the database, and ever-expanding, yet unused indexes because of its being a graph database.
Also, mining is dumb. I nearly had a cereal spitting guy moment when I read that steemit was considering bringing back mining:
For mining new accounts? no less. To solve their 'free accounts' problem, I suppose. I don't know whey they simply did not eliminate the stupid minimum balances rule. The question of spammy account registration is a serious one. I think they should eliminate the free accounts, and make it a simple fee pegged to the SBD. This balance can never be recovered, and should not be recoverable.
