RE: Steemit Blockchain Team Update: AppBase, RocksDB, Bandwidth, HF20, SMTs, and more!

in #steem7 years ago

Most of us witnesses don't disagree, but most of us can't afford it. If they can push HF20, we can, and then you'll see vast relief on resource utilizations system wide. Even if we just doubled from the dozen or so public ones now, to double that, it would be huge right now.

Sort:  

I'm aware that a witness that is not in the top 20 would struggle to do this. Some witnesses can't cover costs of operation from month to month and I'm sensitive to that of course. I guess my request is exclusively for those at the top.

I think it's a rational idea. But also, developers lean too much on the steemit api as well. Some of the others have been around a long time and stable enough to use as a primary with steemit api as a backup. That will also help the issue of people not being able to access the blockchain. Most interfaces I see use the steemit as a primary, and others only for backup. I feel it should be the other way around.
