RE: Vlog 226: When steemit.com is down the power of the blockchain becomes clear!
Love Busy! First thing I did when I saw those errors (other than freak out LOL) was remind myself that the blockchain doesn't just 'go down' because of the decentralization and awesome work of the witnesses.
Took me a second to tell myself to relax LOL
But then went right to Busy and checked everything....Good to go! Different interfaces for different markets. Crossing my fingers about the SMT's and all the potential that will have...Love it.
They should seriously add some information about that Gateway problem. What it is and why it happens and if they are working on a solution. Because I think this is the third time I have seen it! And when it happens you Google for a solution and there is only other Steemit links that are down for the moment.
We need a website that all can go to and write on when the Steemit website goes down! Like a website dedicated for this. Now we only have services like "Is it down" but they are usually filled with spammy ads or comes with bad user interface. We need one that is dedicated to Steemit only. Also Busy dot org is flawed since you can't use a slider when you are voting. It only seems to be supporting 100% upvotes. Which is a disaster for people with high Steem Power!
There is a slider. It's in the settings menu. There is nothing flawed about it.
Thanks for letting me know about it!
Hmmm Interesting. Slider seems to work for me at Busy. Can't wait until I get it at Steemit.com LOL
Yeah I think all this stuff will come once the platform (steemit) grows. I remember how lost I was when I first joined, so the more information they can put out to help newer Steemians the better.
Especially when those errors show up. But once you 'get' what it all means, the blockchain etc....You aren't too concerned when a website goes down.
Yes! Btw can you show how your slider looks on Busy? Since I can't remember seeing one when I clicked like there but it just instantly pulled a 100% upvote.
what is the reason?
think, understand, and form judgements logically.
"humans do not reason entirely from facts"
synonyms: think rationally, think logically, think straight, use one's mind, use one's common sense, use one's head, use one's brain, think things through,
@exyle, this is so profound, i never knew blockchain isn't the same with steem.com, i noticed steem.com is down also in the morning and could not log in.
Steemit.com is now one of the most visited site in the world. It is found among the first 1000 websites being visited, i guess that's the reason for the lost connection.
Now, i now know how to go around it. Thanks my man @exyle.
