The Steem News @ 11 March 2020 - All the other news... and a little bit of Tron
![](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://pennsif.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/steem-news-2-454x278.png)
A 4-way meeting today hosted by the Korean community doesn't appear so far to have broken the deadlock in the current Steem / Tron 'situation'. The top 20 witnesses remain locked in a 9-11 standoff.
But across the rest of the Steem blockchain there is lots going on.
WhereIn has launched a Miniprogram with over 1,000 users already, and SteemPeak has launched a new version with many extra features.
And there is also news and updates about Steem getting listed on the Pionex exchange, SCT extended token swaps, IBT Survival Island, The Man Cave, AltYes, Steem Recovery Accounts, and Operation Asclepius to combat Coronavirus.
1. Steem & Tron - the latest
The 4 way meeting proposed by the Korean community took place today.
The discussion was moderated by @jayplayco, and the participants were Justin Sun of Tron, @guiltyparties representing the Steem Foundation, @roelandp representing the former top 20 witnesses and @glory7 representing the Korean community.
A number of questions were put to each of the representatives in turn covering down voting, changing the witness voting system etc. It is not clear yet what outcomes there were from the meeting.
@ausbitbank posted the chat text from the meeting...
On the witness front the stalemate in the Top 20 continues.
Slots #1 - #9 are held by the 'original' Steem witnesses through respectively @blocktrades, @good-karma, @roelandp, @anyx, @ausbitbank, @yabapmatt, @someguy123, @gtg, and @themarkymark.
The other 11 places in the top 20 are being held by the Tron backed witnesses.
Neither side has the required super-majority of 17 to push through a hard fork...

Lots of great information, as always @pennsif!
I did want to shout out about one thing I noticed in Item #2 though -
Technically that gap was bridged ages ago by the #SteemPress plugin for #WordPress, developed by @fredrikaa and @howo. I thought it might be a good time to mention it, since @steempress is one of the Top 20 Consensus Witnesses currently fighting back against the Sock Puppet Witness accounts, so I figured I'd remind everyone to support them. 😊
Happy almost weekend!
The Chinese market could be massive.
I haven't checked but I wonder how Steempress works with multilingual sites. Anyone tried it on a WPML enabled Wordpress site?
Sorry,Our translator made a mistake.
As at now, we have more than 10 thousands of active MiniProgram installed with our wordpress plugin. Not 10 thousands of active user.
One active MinProgram more than one people , maybe 1000 active user.And 10 thousands of active MiniProgram has massive of active user.
Thanks for the extra information, now edited.

Thank you.
Special thanks for your Steem News
You are welcome.
However, Justing is gaining at a pace of one witness per day. We are are down to 8 vs. 12.
I guess it is all about money in the end.
