RE: @ned - are we on the verge of a Steemtrain wreck? Answer NO - BUT THERE ARE STILL VALID CONCERNS
I agree it would be nice to get some answers about this. From what I can tell elfspice had a pretty negative attitude towards steemit lately, but he also seems quite knowledgeable about the underlying technical systems. It's hard to know how much of what he says is true, so it would be nice to
I completely agree. One thing it highlights is that steemit.inc's communications with the community are seriously lacking. Does anyone really know how they are coming along with the challenges they are wrestling with? How soon anything already discussed will be implemented?
It is important to understand for sure if steemit.inc are withholding critical information about the health of the network or if @elfspice is wrong.
It certainly doesnt improve optics never communicating.
Totally. I don't want steemit.inc's custodianship to turn into something to be lamented. I'm sure there are people working very hard there. But, there is quite a lot that does not stack up right now and the terrible communication is one major red flag.
Maybe some more responses from other witnesses (like gtg comment) on the topic will help clarify if it's a non-issue. But the communication aspect is still an issue. I'm only 6 weeks in and in the last 2 weeks it's starting to feel like there's nobody up front in the engine car. There really is no "corporate" team, HR, PR, etc to interface with users. I rely on older members, the 2016 group like yourself, (I call them Primes) for community support, guidance and growth.
here we are, users, owners of the blockchain :-)
that's by design I think
Very true, but there could be a central voice that keeps everyone in the loop and defines clear objectives, goals, and addresses problems or concerns so these issues dont boil over. I try to ask questions to witnesses to learn as I go, but its a new experience not having a central voice.
owners, yes, because you premined it.
How much does your RPC cost to run? There is no fuckin way you can keep it up and running like you do, if it isn't at least three or four full dedicated 16+ core xeon rigs with dual or more NVMe SSD's, 256Gb of memory servers and multiple failovers with DNS round robin.
Cos even poloniex, bitfinex and even bittrex are having problems keeping it going.
Even @furion is finally letting the cat out of the bag about the situation
