RE: Should We Expect Steemit To Work Flawlessly?
So should we expect that everything works well and feels polished?
In case of blockchain based systems: yes! They don't have to be polished, but you should expect that they are working well. Just look at Ethereum: the project often gets criticized for its slow development, but the slow pace is a deliberate choice: the software has to work as intended, there is not much room for experiments. If something fails, the consequences can be devastating.
thanks for your comment @cpufronz I think I should have been more specific. What I meant was the economic side of steemit (split of author/curation, reward curves etc.), the interface, user sign ups and so on. I think what you are referring to is the underlying technology, and that, no question, has to work!
Yes, but I also think that the economic side of things should be well thought out. Some experiments are fine, but constantly changing rules are off-putting for many potential users.
that's true... But I guess because this is a world's first attempt at a social media blockchain, it's unavoidable for there to be some adjustments. Finger's crossed that the community will find something that works soon. But #newsteem seems to be already an improvement
From my point of view it is difficult to judge now, we have to wait a month or two before we really can see the impact of the recent hard forks.
