I recommend people to calm down. Just because an issue is happening doesn't mean you can easily figure out what it is or even how to fix it once you know.
Fixes can also negatively affect others parts and it takes testing to effectively fix something.
If you really can't handle it, try utilizing busy.org or eSteem during this time. I am quite positive they are not sitting there being lazy as their platform has issues. Getting angry will not make them work faster.
A fix will come. At least the platform is still able to give you info and work, albeat slowly. It could not work at all.
Thanks for working guys!
Thanks for understanding! We appreciate everyone's patience and are working as hard and fast as we can to resolve all issues. Steem on!

Those who really believe in Steemit will stick it out, so you may loose some trolls, could be the platform will be so much better for a spring clean and major security overhaul!! :)
Oh well, that's the other way to look at it and I like your way of thinking:).... In failures find your solutions and in challenges find your opportunities.... All the bad is good for something in the end:).... Have a good one. Tomas
Thanks Tomas :)
When the platform is wanting to overtake Facebook and You Tube then attacks are going to come, so sooner they are dealt with the better! It will make Steemit stronger.
Have a good day too!
Absolutely...! This is a long-term commitment as it should be for any serious ICO and anyone invested in that ICO...a few teething issues along the way is the definition of development itself.
Hello steemit!
I have been waiting for a statement for quite a while and so have been other users. Being silent and not communicating to us is just leading to more frustration and will not help the situation, on the contrary, it is making it even worse. I am sorry to say but to come out with the statement such as above is just lame without addressing what is the problem, what is causing it and what the solutions are. I do not think it is too much to ask for and would definitely smooth out the situation if we know that we are being listened to and backed by the team that we believe in. My frustration with the whole issue is just leading to the disappointment right now. I was expecting to hear more.
Other then that, we love steemit and we love all the new ideas that are coming in the form of SMTs and others that are currently being worked on.
STEEM ON!
From his post, it does not seem that they know what the issue is. It is hard to give an update when they do not know what is causing the connection issues.
Look at it from their side. It must be extremely frustrating to work around the clock and NOT know what is causing the errors. And then, to not have the ability to answer the questions from the community, just adds more stress to them already not knowing what is going on.
I agree with this:
I think they are working on solutions for the next DDoS now... as one has happened few weeks ago.
