Vlog #131: Steemfest: the dedication of the steem team towards the blockchain is amazing.
The Steemfest conference days are over and it's now time to spend more relaxing days with fellow Steemians in the beautiful city of Lisbon.
And what a amazing couple days it has been!
I learned a lot about the Steem blockchain and where it is going from now on.
Some things I learned:
A lot of work is going into backend development and that is the type of development we as users will never really see but that is crucial to keep the blockchain running efficiently in the future.
I have spoken to some developers and they said something funny.
"When we work months on something and then implement it and nothing happens (for the user) than we did a good job!" (This could be a future scaling implementation for instance. Not all heroes wear capes I guess. )
I had a hard time trying to find a use case for the mobile wallet until later I learned that they will use it to send push notification too. (I missed it in the presentation). Very useful for security reasons for instance. (push notification that someone has started a power down). They will also further build on this app in the future.
Being so close to the developers is very nice. Lines are so short and you can ask them a ton of questions.
But probably the most important is the feeling of total dedication and commitment from the Steem Team to the Steem blockchain.
They do work so very hard and make long hours to build something that has the potential to reshape the internet.
Something that costs us nothing to use.
As a user I just can't ask for more.
I talk about it more in my blog
Starts @ 1:50.
Thanx for the Steemfest lowdown. You know I have to pick your brain when you will be back so enjoy your 3 more days in Lisbon m8!
Hats off to the steem team developers. this will really take the steem to the next level.
Glad to know about these huge backend development for Steem Blockchain, i am sure when these apps launched will be very helpful to the community.
@hms818 Yes you are right it will only get better and better.....
@exyle STEEMIT will only continue to get BETTER and BETTER as we move into the Future..........
Your dedication to keep us updated and informed about all the behind the scenes stuff is also amazing. It would be easy just to chill in Lisbon and do one big Vlog when you come back home but covering the event while it goes down is really awesome :)
nice post my friend, well i agree with your thoughts the steemit team and developers no doubt doing a wonderful job to keep updating the steem blockchain so that it runs smoothly for every steemian and it helps the overall growth of steemit, without the dedication and hard work it's not possible to maintain such a huge project, i really appreciate there work and dedication to the platform and yes SMT's will be huge and they surely change the whole picture of the steem blockchain, we all are so excited to see the launch of SMT's, Wishing you both a very joyful and happy steemfest2 ahead, Stay happy and awesome.
It's nice to hear from you about what has been achieved at your meeting, especially like the idea with a mobile application, as this improves our overall performance. Thank you @exyle for keeping us informed!
An interesting experience to attend the event, a very long trip, which can be cured after meeting with the steemians .. Greetings from Aceh. @exyle
Praise the developers, because everything they do is a huge work that we do not even guess about, and their work for us is the same. Give them God of health.
i am also agree with you @magnata.they are really working hards.
Great post.
I watched the videos of the sessions. Really great.
I'm hopeful that the wallet will be a good thing for "new crypto people"
simple, easy & secure. eg to 'fix' the recent clipboard malware type problem that basically bypasses all the keys & security etc.
I would have like to see / understand more re the steem inc intentions for SMT's, where do they think they are going or where they think they will go / be taken? it seems a bit like an 'alphabet' with out a 'language' to me ATM.
I agree steem is going to be #1 due to speed if nothing else.
The wallet could / will be a great Value add that no other coin is doing ATM.
Thanks again for post & video report.
