Vlog #116: There is so much development going on the Steem blockchain + Busy.org private Beta + utopian.io
It's hard to keep up with all the development on the Steem blockchain.
It's a lot of fun to see it all unfold.
First, we had the announcement of the Smart media tokens, 20 days ago, and from that followed the announcement of Appics.
The first App that will utilize an SMT. Here
Busy.org Beta
Today I checked out the Busy.org new (private) beta site.
I have been using busy.org more frequently because there are some troubles at times with Steemit.com when it comes to voting and posting (hangs sometimes).
Busy.org works very fast and does NOT require a new account. Also, Busy.org does not take a fee from anything you create on there. ZERO FEE.
You can use the same credentials as you use on Steemit.com. (I highly recommend using your posting key only.)
The new site has a modern feel to it but still looks very clean. Navigation is much better! And the editor is very nice. Some features are still missing.
To get into the private beta check out this post
Utopian.io
Utopian.io enables everyone to contribute to Open Source projects by providing Ideas, Code contributions, Graphics or Social exposure and be rewarded for that with Steem.
What an amazing idea! I talk about it more in my vlog
Fabian is the CTO of busy and Ekitcho is the CEO.
Thanks for clearing that up.
True.. development these days is progressing rapidly on Steem Blockchain, thanks @exyle for sharing about utopian.io , looks interesting.
yes its been really hard coming online this past few days and the posting issue to solve it, you just have to make a backup of your writeup that way if it disappears before posting, all you have to do then is copy and paste also commenting and upvote you can as well use esteem app for Android if you not use to busy.org it also has a nice interface and different options you can as well post with it
@otemzi I had the same problem an hour ago. I actually had to try 3 times before it posted. I use Evernote to save a copy before I post that way I don't have to panic if I lose my working copy. @exyle Busy.org works fine, but I like steemit.com interface better. I guess I am used to here.
lol exactly I normally use word to type and edit already used to the special key signs now, I only copy to markdown when i want to post, then after uploading required pictures I remake another backup, you can never be too careful and yes busy.org looks kinda foreign probably because am used to steemit and esteem
@exyle Just Curious if you are adding anymore STEEM today at these prices under $1.00 ?? I purchased some more LTC since I like to purchase it when it pullsback 10% or more in the 24 hour period...........Thank You for all the Great Stuff that you Post.
I am. I bought 100SBD worth this morning.
That's what I like. Putting your money where your mouth is. Nice Job @exyle.
Out of BBChain, Esteem and Busy.Org, I liked busy org the most because it does not charge 15% like BBChain. Whereas Esteem is only good for mobile devices. Though we have now these alternate options for Steemit and there are more being created yet none of these replaces the feel and becomes the comfortzone for the users. So, I hope Steemit gets back to its normal routine and is not down at times the way it's even in a single day.
Thanks for the valuable post @exyle.
Steem On!
its good to see such platforms as steemit is having some real problems in the main front end can't even able to use it properly thanks that we have such options available
Just read a post today where it says that the next hard fork may happen sooner than we'd expect. A bug was found in the code and it's marked as high priority hardfork bug.
Aren't the blockbrothers also working on an app on top of the blockchain? Would love to see what you guys are up to!
Interesting. Do you have a link to the post? Yeah, we are working on a small app. But it's nothing like these huge projects.
I sure do, here it is: https://steemit.com/witness-category/@dragosroua/hardfork-0-20-0-might-be-closer-than-we-think-and-no-it-s-not-the-one-enabling-smt-yet

Thanks for sharing such an important information about the fee free Busy.organigation.You people are great, innovative, organising new ideas.Thanks.
@exyle,
STEEM block chain is showing a rapid development than other block chains! Yesterday I heard about "Utopian.io"! And you told about Appics! So, I smell huge improvement of this block chain than other chains! So, future seems GREEN and sometimes we can enjoy huge price up too! Great vlog and nice article as always!
Cheers~
About time this came up again, Steemit has been really wonky these days, posts sometimes go missing after clicking the post button or it just hangs there until I have to press the refresh button. I am not sure what the impact for Steemit.com if most users migrate over to Busy.org, but I am sure Steemit and guys really gotta look into the underlying issues that is causing all the inconveniences.
