@merej99 I was going to make a 21st question... but instead popping this to the top with an upvote.
I know a number of us have reached 7 posts... My daily posts "fit" all the challenge specs anyway... should we keep adding to "The Beast II" until the 18th, or just stop sharing to the challenge once we're at 7 posts? What's your preference?
Definitely keep feeding me those post links until the 18th
I'm doing the daily diary anyway, may as well give you guys a back link to your work until then! :) Good Question
The post part was actually too easy, lol, (reminding me to put my link in...and I thought I put my link in for yesterday, but that's a'ight) the commenting part....yeah, I'll be a little relieved, LOL. Actually, if it was winter then it would be no big thing, but I gotsta do more outdoorsy stuff while I can :)
Yeah, I'm with @dreemit on this one-- I've posted 2-3 full posts daily for months now, so that part was easy enough.
Surprisingly, it's the commenting that was hard... and yes, that was a surprise because I consider myself a pretty active curator. The "problem" is that my average comment tends to be fairly long and addresses the content of a post pretty well... 500+ comments at 60-80 words each... that's quite a lot of typing! For example, this right here is a pretty typical comment for me!
I feel this. Most of my comments are pretty lengthy too and I wouldn't have it any other way. In fact, some have been long enough where I thought, "Crap! That could have been a post!" lol
Yes! That's exactly what the issue is, I've even been known to write mine posts in posts, haha! I've definitely gotten better at shortening them up this week!
honesty...you want honesty teach...I'll give you honesty lol
if it weren't for this bandwidth issue I probably wouldn't have gotten more than two nights sleep aggregated over the last three days...and this challange might have very well killed me...no joke!
I guess the bigger question is will you be relived when it's over. And wait a minute...how are you going to count my comments in this page anyway...it's so creepy crawly...not even sure this is going to work for me tonight...been almost 3 minutes of lag just making this one comment alone.
Just a heads up for ya here Meredith
~smiles fer miles~
Oh goodness, it would be madness if I went through each one of these monster posts trying to count your comments! I just go to https://steemit.com/@cryptologyx and peek at your header. If the number moves, I update your progress.
And I've been seeing issues with the bandwidth ever-increasing. It's not the posts. It's actually Steemit witnesses responsibility to keep up.
I do my replies on my phone mostly. It's the best piece of technology I have! My phone is connected to my wireless though. If I'm writing a post, then I'm on my computer-saurus-rex.
ayayay! Me too. I actually consumed my 6gb of mobile data the in just less than 2 weeks. Basically these times we're working on the challenge. I have subscribed for additional data just to receive messages on whatsapp
I've seen a message close to that. When I was doing the post for @barrydutton's tab post...My block size was too large and I had to reformat the whole post.
Neither have I...I have been commenting today too...and haven't seen that message...i do get the messages of "can't upvote more than every three seconds" or "can't comment more than once every 20 seconds" LOL
You can go to bed after you make sure I am in the winner's circle tomorrow. The Irish lived off of potatoes during famine...I added a vegetable with chiles in the hot sauce.
Depression? No problem, I have chips and hot sauce.
when i started the quiz there were no posts so I was reading and typing some of them quickly, and there is a 20 minimum between posts. i know that cuz steemit told me lol
sometimes I have had to wait as long as an hour to post through...I think the key is to leave the site alone completely...no feed surfing...no checking your wallet...no nothing...and you won't have to wait more than 15 - 20 minutes.
But, I was thinking anyway why this occurred, and I think I know.
On the blockchain, every our post, comment or so - better to say every action we take is considered as a transaction.
So, if you were commenting like crazy (like I do now 😜) that's probably why you have received that note.
This is partially true...I have heard of some with over 300 SP encountering problems with normal daily activity...I understand there is a fix in the works since yesterday...something about throwing money at the problem.
I love being on steemit, posting and commenting...participating in this challenge has pushed me to be better and comment more than I usually comment....going to bed at the wee hours! So in part I will be happy to finish, but on the other hand it has helped me a lot...so thank you!
I had three solid hours to work this morning and I got this message. I was locked out for a good 45 minutes. I don't know what it means, but it was frustrating!
Yes and no! This has been such a great challenge and I've gotten to read some great articles by some great people. Can I keep up this pace forever? No! I'm rarely on my phone or the computer when my kids are awake so my time isn't limited to their sleeping hours...and I need sleep too! Burn I've learned a lot and will keep having myself to read and comment more.
If this is an inoculation of sorts, then at least you know what you're capable of! If you created good Steemit habits out of this at a less crazy pace then I consider my job well done. :)
Yes, yes! It has shown me how important making those connections are. I still have a long ways to go, and I feel like I'm moving way slowly...I read those posts about how people reach 300 followers in a week and I'm at 67 going....

Great question @denmarkguy! It will be great to keep posting them so we can still see what you post :)
I was in doubt if I should keep creating posts type of content, however at the end I decided to enjoy the weekend for a while..
That is important too to enjoy the weekend! 😊

AHA! If the next challenge is harder, I can point an arrow at @dreemit. lol
@dreemit may get held down on the bunkbed and beaten with soap in socks then, I think I saw that in a movie once
I know this movie... uh... Full Metal Jacket, right?
maybe. it was definitely military
Um...I take it back, I take it back...blame @denmark guy, he not only agrees but he does two and three a day, haha!!
It's on the blockchain @dreemit - I could be evil and launch The Beast UNLEASHED next time around. hahahaaa
You wouldn't dare!! (Yes you would...shoot! haha)
Yes to be honest, I've been sitting in my computer chair far too long and I need to get outside!
You've got 2 FULL DAYS to get 190 comments done. We got your back :)
aaa duuh
honesty...you want honesty teach...I'll give you honesty lol
if it weren't for this bandwidth issue I probably wouldn't have gotten more than two nights sleep aggregated over the last three days...and this challange might have very well killed me...no joke!

https://steemit.com/steem/@neoxian/steem-has-just-increased-its-maximum-blocksize-to-98304-like-a-boss
I think Steemit will be glad when I am done with this challenge.
I wasn't trying to do a "transaction". I have been commenting all day lol.
I need to check how much actual internet data I've used doing his! Little worried about that! Lol...
Are you doing this on your phone?
I do my replies on my phone mostly. It's the best piece of technology I have! My phone is connected to my wireless though. If I'm writing a post, then I'm on my computer-saurus-rex.
Lol. That is hilarious. I have not owned a cell phone in at least a decade. I would be lost without my desktop.
ayayay! Me too. I actually consumed my 6gb of mobile data the in just less than 2 weeks. Basically these times we're working on the challenge. I have subscribed for additional data just to receive messages on whatsapp
omg, I can't imagine doing this on my phone!
Hey! My last count you only need 146 comments and you've got 2 full days to do it. Woohoo!
Someone else was getting that message too! @arrliinn I think.
I've never seen that before!
I've seen a message close to that. When I was doing the post for @barrydutton's tab post...My block size was too large and I had to reformat the whole post.
Neither have I...I have been commenting today too...and haven't seen that message...i do get the messages of "can't upvote more than every three seconds" or "can't comment more than once every 20 seconds" LOL
Saw that yesterday and just earlier when I was beginning the "quiz". I had to wait 15/20mins to be able to post again...
I got that message earlier, too. It went away when I closed my Steemit session and opened it again in a new window.
I just walked away and took a break to eat the food that will be my death...chips and hot sauce.
Is chips and hot sauce technically food?
Crap! I need to get out of this post or I'll never get to bed tonight. LOL
You can go to bed after you make sure I am in the winner's circle tomorrow. The Irish lived off of potatoes during famine...I added a vegetable with chiles in the hot sauce.
Depression? No problem, I have chips and hot sauce.
so, how did you sleep yesterday :)
I believe I'm about to hit that legendary bandwidth limit soon.
I got that too! I also was posting too fast
I don't know how I can post too fast. I usually leave long comments; I think it's why this took me so long lol.
when i started the quiz there were no posts so I was reading and typing some of them quickly, and there is a 20 minimum between posts. i know that cuz steemit told me lol
Ah yes, the infamous 20 seconds between posts error.
Yeah, I was getting the 20 seconds message when I was adding questions to this post.
Yes I have seen that message too!
i was kinda freaking cuz if i got locked out, which is what the bandwith message looked like, i could not only not finish, but let anyone know why!
That's exactly how I was! I texted a friend and was like...uh, did I do something wrong? Make some steemit god angry??
Had to be a glitch if some kind
I got it this morning...after I was posting a ton last night, but still, I took a lengthy sleep break!
Sleeping is good
sleeping is a forgotten art in my life right now :)
sleep...what is this thing called sleep?
I got it too, I had to take a break for like 15 minutes then it let me resume commenting
sometimes I have had to wait as long as an hour to post through...I think the key is to leave the site alone completely...no feed surfing...no checking your wallet...no nothing...and you won't have to wait more than 15 - 20 minutes.
This is definitely my first time of seeing something of this nature @lexikon82
Today was the first time I saw it. I once had a block size too large message for a post. Lots of editing on that one to trim down the file size.
LOL - You really made me laugh with this one.
But, I was thinking anyway why this occurred, and I think I know.
On the blockchain, every our post, comment or so - better to say every action we take is considered as a transaction.
So, if you were commenting like crazy (like I do now 😜) that's probably why you have received that note.
This is partially true...I have heard of some with over 300 SP encountering problems with normal daily activity...I understand there is a fix in the works since yesterday...something about throwing money at the problem.
LOL that usually works out just fine right? ;p
I didn't know about that fix. Hope it would bring us some greater good. 🙂
I love being on steemit, posting and commenting...participating in this challenge has pushed me to be better and comment more than I usually comment....going to bed at the wee hours! So in part I will be happy to finish, but on the other hand it has helped me a lot...so thank you!
And I have to add to my comment that I have found great people to follow from the challenge itself! So it's great!
Seconded! This challenge has been a very wonderful experience to everybody.
I am still typing away down to my last 100 comments before closing. Haha
There you go! You can do it @arrliinn! One post at a time...I am almost there I can feel the finish line!! :)
ohhh!!! see you there @sgnsteems!...
See you :)
Lol, are you still typing? It's Only been two hours.
I have to stop every now and then... steemit feels the pressure I am on. I always get the bandwidth limit problem. :(
Lol. Steemit may dislike @merej99 quite a bit right now.
Yeah. She's brought about too much traffic into the platform. Lol
I had three solid hours to work this morning and I got this message. I was locked out for a good 45 minutes. I don't know what it means, but it was frustrating!
You do realize you have ALL of tomorrow and the 18th to get this done, right? LOL
Last I counted you've got under 113 comments to go. ;)
Typing away, ma'am! Lol.
@merej99, what time exactly is the challenge closing tomorrow? As you know I am in UAE Gmt +4...
agreed
CONGRATULATIONS @sgnsteems
You are in the winner's circle! :D I'm working on publishing the post now. Woohoo! GOOD JOB!
wooooottt woottt!!! way to go @sgnsteems!!!
Thank you! And thank you for all you have done 😊
You bet I'll be relieved! I'll be able to go back to sleep...
Doesn't mean I don't appreciate you, however.... :D
😄😇😄
I'm on the fence about how I feel about it. On one hand the break would be nice. On the other, I think I'll miss the crazy pace.
Definitely won't be posting 50 comments a day, but will comment on your posts when I see them :)
Thanks @aboutyourbiz - I'll be keeping an eye out for you too <3
yay us! I bet there will be a fair amount of that going on
You will be looking at your replies like:
I already do this. LOL
I've also got my eyedrops at the ready. Time to dive into the Beast Jr. and hunt for links. :)
Hunt Hunt Hunt....do you find less since more people have finished?
Actually, I've still got 21 posts that are going up. Y'all are machines, I think. lol
Lol. You created some mean machines!
hahaha...I know her secret math ways of counting comments
Lol
~smiles fer miles~
I'm sure eyedrops are a must hahaha
Eyedrops and a good amount of coffee. Speaking of which... where the heck did I put my coffee mug???
Yes and no! This has been such a great challenge and I've gotten to read some great articles by some great people. Can I keep up this pace forever? No! I'm rarely on my phone or the computer when my kids are awake so my time isn't limited to their sleeping hours...and I need sleep too! Burn I've learned a lot and will keep having myself to read and comment more.
If this is an inoculation of sorts, then at least you know what you're capable of! If you created good Steemit habits out of this at a less crazy pace then I consider my job well done. :)
Yes, yes! It has shown me how important making those connections are. I still have a long ways to go, and I feel like I'm moving way slowly...I read those posts about how people reach 300 followers in a week and I'm at 67 going....
not any more you're not...you're at 76 as of this post...you'll be a hundred before you know it...and quality follows...like me fer instance? hahaha!
