RE: STEEMIT GIRL HALO ~ Steemit Issue
Heh, You're right, this would really kill adoption by new people, I got the "bad gateway" before finding this post and it took me two tries to even vote for this post!
As others have said, different sites can still access the steem blockchain, busy.org etc. But not having the flagship website not being able to use it is really not good.
I do not have an account at busy.org. Do you trust them with your password? Can you access you wallet on busy.org?
I have not trusted them with my password so I can't say. I'm not sure you can access the wallet either.
If wallet security was an issue, I think you can log in using your posting password.
Do you know of a way to access your steem wallet if the steem website was to ever go down for good? This has been on my mind alot lately.
Not at the moment, though if the other sites have access to the wallet, you should be able to use that as long you have the wallet password stored somewhere that isn't steemit.com.
I think a dev, or at least someone posting in the dev tag, is working on a client that will run on your PC rather than running it on the website as happens now.

So some people are working on the issue, and with a better solution than merely keeping one website up.
