RE: HF20 Update: Operations Stable
what if someone creates a twitter clone where people would like to share stuff every minute? The blockchain steem was made for all kind of dapps, not only steemit.com.
Steemit does not control the blockchain, RC's are for steemit. It is my understanding that Dapps will have to pay their own way on the chain. So if a dapp wants to create a twitter resteamer, then the dapp and dapp user are going to have to pay the RC cost of the posting. They have not been silenced it just that it cost them more to post. "I had eggs for breakfast. What did you have" with a picture of their breakfast.
There is no exclusiveness for steemit.com. It is a simple dapp which interacts with the blockchain like any other dapp (d.tube, steepshot, busy) and they have no more rights to interact with the steem blockchain. The Hardfork introduced RC´s which are a system wide upgrade. Every dapp needs to deal with the Resource Credits now.
See reply to andrarchy, I did not word that very well at all, and did not mean to imply that only steemit had RC's. Any post, vote, comment or transaction is going to cost RC's, and it does not matter what front end or application is used.
That sounds like a terrible idea. Unless people can eventually use the network however they want, it's all a waste of time.
The future is not a BBC, in fact, the future probably looks more like Twitter/Facebook/Snapchat/Vine than a 10 000 word BLOG
The most valuable content for on STEEM so far has been short. Every "high quality" post I've found is plagued by long-winded tl;dr'ness that only makes sense to steemit curation teams and completely misses the mark in terms of internet view ability and value.
My 2c: the same message, conveyed in the least words possible, is way more valuable than the same message with all sorts of word-sugaring.
We're already dealing with 10's of thousands of people who actually read over their posts and look at how they can make it longer for steemit, which is totally nonsense since to make a more valuable post you should normally try and condense it without losing info.
A sad state of affairs and one that it looks like these decisions might drive deeper into our psychology if we're not careful.
No, RCs are for all Steem DApps. Nothing is specific to steemit.com. A transaction on steemit.com will cost just as much in RCs as the same transaction on another Steem DApp like a twitter clone.
I thought that was what I said:
But I see where I did not word it well, in that sentence. I tried to explain it via:
At least this is the way I understood how the RC's worked. The dapp or the user was going to have to pay the RC cost. So if a person wants to do 30 twitter type quick little post, they or their dapp provider is going to bear the RC cost, and not be subsidised so to speak. Just as a Steemit user needs to pay the RC cost for their posting.
