What the Steem BlockChain NEEDS

Is better Cross-Application Access
.............................................................................................................................................................................

Steemit is NOT the BlockChain.

Steemit is an applilcation, a blogging platform, ON the Steem Blockchain.

It was the first, it's the mother, but it's not the only one right now. There are others

That list is two years old. Many of them were written for the use of Devs. Not much use to us normal people. Many of them are lame. Many are gone. The ones that stood the test of time are still with us in new and improved forms.

BUT WAIT..yes...there are others, and even more which are not listed here.

BUT..there is a problem.

Except for a few (BlockTrades and Busy come to mind) they all are obscure to most steemers (especially minnows). Very few of us have heard of them.

BUT...there is another problem. A fatal flaw in my opinion.

Except for a few (BlockTrades and Busy for example) they all require independent access. That is they require your KEY in order to use them.

I'm not giving my keys to anyone. I don't care WHAT they promise or how magnificent they claim to be. If I can't access them directly from Steemit I'm not going to use them.

BUT WAIT...there is at least one solution.

I've mentioned above that BlockTrades and Busy are different?

Different how?

The difference is SteemConnect

My suggestion is that each and every legitimate app on the steem blockchain provide an EASY method of access via SteemConnect, perhaps in the Steemit sidebar. OR.... Consider the way BlockTrades does it. Safe, easy, and you never have to fear that some evil phishing bastard low-life scum will steal your keys.

Once they have your keys...your hard earned Steem is GONE!
