Steemit - Graphene Passes A Test!
What is Graphene? Graphene is a technology where carbon or charcoal is hit in a vacuum of 20 torr by a laser. When this occurs, a carbon nanotube is produced. It is 200 times stronger than steel and is a major component in stealth aircraft.
Secondly, these carbon nanotubes are connected to Bucky Balls, named after Buckminster Fuller and are also called Fullerenes. The way these are made is the carbon atoms are placed in toluene.
These two components joined are then made into a nano mesh like in the picture. Resins are used to layer the mesh to provide stability and stength.
Both nanotubes and Fullerenes are destroyed upon exposure to ultraviolet light even at very low lumens. Therefore, it is necessary to manufacture the whole process in areas with zero ultraviolet light.
We can think of the Steemit data storage system, which is also called Graphene as the method in which the data of Steem, SBD, and your posts are stored. In use is the Segregated Witness System of Internet Computing and Distributed ledger technologies that make it less likely that your Posts, Steem, and Steem Dollars will suddenly disappear due to hacks, random mechanical failure, random statistical electrical current deviation, and random statistical computational error.
Random statistical computational errors can occur across the internet when computers "Talk to Exchange Data".
Years ago, almost two decades, I had the occasion to meet and discuss what a Session was. Does anyone know what a session is? Believe it or not, a Session is a man, like Fullerenes. Session was the lead Microsoft Developer for Corba. The first network session was invented by none other than a man who created the SESSION so that computers could talk over the internet, or in the beginning, a network.
Graphene then uses a session and so does every other machine so that they can communicate. True, since that time, there have been many changes, many technological improvements.
Steemit is working the same way. Each time there is a Hard Fork or a Fork, there is a change in the way Steemit works. In the old days we used the term, upgrade, patch. Along with the blockchain, many terms have changed over time.
The point is this: Graphene, an actual substance which is very, very strong, was used as the name for the software model and how the software links up to and interacts with other computers through the Segregated Witness, Distributed Ledger System because you can look at the picture of Graphene the nano-mesh and maybe understand a little bit about how it works.
One, once a connection is made it is secure. Two, the connections are able to occur in practically unlimited numbers.
The prevents hacking and continues operation even when computers in the Graphene network experience errors in computing or mechanical or electrical KABOOMS!
See, you could get a virus and your computer could melt. Get another computer, get a smart phone and VIOLA! Nothing you have is lost and even better, the test Graphene just passed, if it is lost it can be found and restored.
I do not know how long you have been computing but I have been computing before the monitor was invented. I have been computing when a computer took up a building of 100,000 square feet and was made of vacuum tubes. The computer could understand BASIC, COBOL, PASCAL, and RPG.
There have been a lot of changes since then. Your phone is millions of times more powerful than the computer I used to program and it fits in your hand.
Steemit and Graphene is just like that. It seems to be able to recover from the most serious threats and errors against it. I sort of knew this was going to happen, the loss of some Steem and SBD when a witness reported that they had lost their system for a while a few weeks ago. See, I know that you can't compute without a computer to do the computing. Especially what is called a server.
A Segregated Witness computer is special. It is a server and is like the Bucky Balls in the material Graphene. When a Fullerene gets hit by ultraviolet light, it disappears. There may be some errors. Fortunately, Graphene was able to recover, something the material cannot do but the Segregated Witness, Distributed Ledger, Graphene Software was able to do.
In this case, it was most likely a Poloniex computer that went down. But then, Poloniex was not the first witness to report it had trouble.
I will try to explain this to you to make this simpler. At the moment, Ethereum keeps going out. We watch several exchanges collapse and their wallets cease to function. The wallet contains the blockchain and the code to operate the coins and exchange them. If the wallet collapses, the data is destroyed and that is usually the end of a coin!
But Steemit with Graphene pulled through! That is unbelievable and good for me and you. It is good because, it is like we had an error at a credit card company or at our bank and instead of losing the money and the bank or credit card company disappearing:
WE ARE STILL HERE!

Don't Spam - Steem and SBD are beginning to climb on Bittrex
SBD is up on Poloniex
Steem is beginning to climb on Poloniex
@jeff-kubitz, are you spamming on me? You said, "Do not spam" In other words, you maybe do not like what I said. So, when you do not like something, you maybe call it spam. Maybe not you but some people use the word spam like a word to mean or to be anything.
.
I had trouble with Poloniex. I am happy when Steem rises. I talk about what has happened to me and history should not be flagged and tagged too much and too often and too aggressively with the idiom or insult of the word and misinformation concept of "SPAM" which is a word that has a flexible or subjective definition. I want people to know what happened. SBD was not up on Poloniex. It was up again later on but then was disabled again after that. Others have written posts about Poloniex on Steemit during this past year as well. So, if I am spamming, then they are spamming too. You might want to tell the other people not to spam about Poloniex either. Others had trouble with them as well. I would not call that spam. I would call that simply information on the past. The future can always change.
You usually have very interesting analytical posts! Thank you for sharing
;-) Thanks @prettytoon
Interesting work dear friend @ jeff-kubitz congratulations, these are the things that I admire of you, the knowledge that you have, thank you very much for sharing this information
have a beautiful day
Thanks my dear friend @jlufer and I hope it is useful for you and you make some big bucks!
