RE: @ned - are we on the verge of a Steemtrain wreck? Answer NO - BUT THERE ARE STILL VALID CONCERNS
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
