I thought I was done with steemit

in #steem • 8 years ago (edited)

I'm not.

At the very least I'll be finishing up some platform-related tools with steemdb (thanks @furion). Quite possibly, I'll be doing much more. My error wasn't in pointing out issues with Steemit, but instead in the conclusion those issues led me to make-- that I was better off without steemit.

This is the best damn platform for getting your ideas heard that exists.

Please know that I'm not building anything to displace steemit, as it is too fundamentally revolutionary to displace.

With no further ado, I request you turn your eyes to the real treat:

    Mind sharing why you think you'd be better off with steemit?

    I'd be happy to.

    1. I've come to rely on steemit as my personal content platform.
    2. The community
    3. The concepts, the sweet, sweet, (albeit fundamentally corrupted) concepts....
    4. Inertia

      In principle I agree but the project of converting the witness to a "fabric" is going to be expensive and slow. Also as you may agree, prior to that resteucture, adding smart contracts will tend to be deprecated for refining existing ones. Which is why I am building a fabric type chain up from scratch. Steem's blockchain is gonna grow bigger rally fast. If it was broken into subchains this load would be dispersed more allowing more witnesses to handle a bigger, parallelised block schedule.

      But nothing on the internet fills the gap that Steem does, so it will be a couple of years before anything better appears.

      What language are you using?

      Some from-scratch is needed, with particular emphasis on economics. Killing SP 1.0 killed something in steemit's DNA, and it hain't been the same since.

      PS: for the love of god.....

      and if you want to dev chains, then figure out how to get thy to Siem Reap, Cambodia.
