RE: Mixed Feeling About Wikipedia Begging (@ned Should Take Notes)
One can really get a sense to the possibility why Dan left. Still have high hopes in whatever the next (his new) Steemit is going to be.
I don't think Steemit is dead yet, there will be a rennaissance as soon as prices start moving up. But it literally feels like this great headstart of Steemit and the steem blockchain has been and is being suqandered away.
Kinda reminds me of Eth to be honest.
I thoroughly enjoy when people in my circle do give their critical take on what they see, thanks dude
I agree. It will surge with the rest of crypto so we will likely get our money out but the issue becomes if our money would have been better off invested in other crypto projects.
That is a very good way to put it that the lead that STEEM had was squandered. Part of the problem was the initial launch created an unfair distribution and sort of screwed it up from the very beginning. Also without vote decay or a rotational mechanism with the witnesses you just get people hanging out and once the chain was launched there is no incentive for the witnesses to relinquish their power by voting in a hardfork that would add these mechanisms in.
It is kind of like STEEM was on the front lines and everyone is able to learn something from the continual mistakes.
Hey sorry for the late reply. Yeah I agree with that and I see we have a similar plan so: Do you have any update on some actual steem like platform on EOS? I finnd it amazing how it was announced over telegram chats with dan and then - utter silence.
I literally thought it was days away and learned a(nother) painful Fomo lesson that week ahahaha
Well the thing is even since before August there was a smart contract that came along with the EOSIO software that provided a very rudimentary shell of what STEEM does for people as an example if they were trying to build something like that. Then in Around October an example appeared on their github showing a rudimentary example of doing a similar thing utilizing DMUX which is a way to utilize a MongoDB instance to support faster access to the data that is being written in to the blockchain.
Then at the EOS hackathon in San Francisco I talked to Dan Larimer about how the Steemit community is excited about the next iteration of a Steem type blogging platform. He said that they were finalizing the key management aspects of it and a few other things.
It will likely happen fairly soon but I wouldn't get too excited about stuff potentially coming out tomorrow or anything. Likely it will be sometime in Q1 of 2019.
Block one has hired like 100 more people in the last couple of months so they have really ramped up their staff and what they are doing.
