Let's Help Steemit Devs Test https://steemitstage.com!steemCreated with Sketch.

in #steemitstage7 years ago (edited)

How about use this period to test out https://steemitstage.com


Let's help the steemit devs! Steem (blockchain) isn't down; has never been! 

@busy.org is in test phase but works well. You can also use that, if your current intention is to create a post. However, if you would like to vote with sliders, you may want to do that with https://steemitstage.com currently as it works and i am currently responding to my comments and curating as well.

Features like slider votes are being worked upon to be added by @busy.org according to @fabien. All other features on the new @busy.org beta interface work awesomely, even transfers and steemconnect v2. 

https://steemitstage.com

Is like sandbox for steemit devs, to help them with optimization of steemit.com. The interface is practically just like steemit.com, however, tests are ran or implemented on there first; tested by us and feedback from our use, is used by steem devs to make optimizations before an actual implementation on steemit.com.

At times like this, when www.steemit.com appears down, we can easily use https://steemitstage.com and enjoy our steemit journey, while give steemit developers something to work with.

Please don't get phished. So you can copy/paste. 
Any apprehensions, simply use your posting key to sign in. 

This is especially for many who interact non-stop and want to respond to comments and for curators who like gem and digging.

Overall, steemit devs will have more things to analysis in terms of optimizing steemit, to ready it for a future filled with masses.

As for creating posts, there are many outlets or interfaces that allow that to happen seamlessly. 

The steem blockchain ofcourse runs! 

My "steemgigs" witness runs too, incase that's of value!


A witness server is simply one of the servers holding the steem blockchain. Each is ran in decentralized locations round the world. 

There are many witness servers too, so that there is backup non-stop and so that transactions upon the steem blockchain pull through, non-stop! 

Too, there is a human factor (witness). So behind these servers are reputable steemians. By reputation, i don't mean numbers or (reputation score) necessarily. I mean reputation for real!

Proven

Yes, many steemians create value, unannounced and behind the scenes too. And on steemit, it is value that is reward; content creation being just one of the ways to add value!

So a reputation score of 25, as seen on steemit, doesn't necessarily mean that you don't have an actual rep of 100. 

Altogether, a reputation is score is a good measure of actually rep as these numbers have a history dented into them and over time, growth and evolution happens. 

Yes, you can't jump from rep 25 to 70, if time didn't fly by. Ofcourse, there are other factors involved when it comes to measure rep but time (history) is very much involved, whether on the scenes (on steemit) or behind the scenes. 

Overall, actual rep is what we seek, so let's be humans, forgiving, un-condeming, loving and etc

I will forgive you a hundred times

Your Boy Terry

Sort:  

They wouldn't allow me log into steemitstage.com . See the image of the response I got when I tried to .

looks like you are trying to make a new account, just log in as normal.

No dont sign up. Sign it. it is basically steemit

One thing I love in decentralization is the fact that everyone's bits comes to form the whole. Interesting to find out about steemitstage.com. I have another word for my "always complaining" fellows anytime there seems to be a ddos attack.

Hahaha yes. But specify that they check spelling, so that they are on the right site

Hi @surpassinggoogle, Though a lots of efforts are being done by the Steemit management and Witnesses in particular to make it a better platform. This is all appreciable. Your post is another proof of how much good work you're doing . This is the positive side of the picture.

The negative side is Steemit site is going down countless times in a single day. I brought a at least 8-10 new users to join Steemit. Unfortunately, I brought them to Steemit in the same week. So, all the efforts that I had done ended in smoke.

It's true that there are alternate solutions like busy.org, esteem, ChainBB and now this Steemitstage. But this does not solve the problem because the main site is Steemit. Users already have to manage posting key, active key and a master password for Steemit to avoid any attack on their account by some hacker. When we tell the new users to take this alternate route, they get frustrated. If this had not been the case, why are Steemit posts very low in number during this week?

Steem On!

Yes its true. I am hopefully that it will get fixed

However, if you would like to vote with sliders, you may want to do that with https://steemitstage.com currently as it works and i am currently responding to my comments and curating as well.

Hello Terry. I remember to use busy.org whenever the user interface (UI), steemit.com is down for whatever reason, maybe due to another DDos attack. I am responding to this post of yours from busy.org. I have no problem using the slider button. So, it works well for me, although the user needs to apply some skills of patience to be able to manage the slider button. Thank you very much for loving my mama and sending 25 SBD for her birthday. We really appreciate it. My mum sends her prayers and love to you. Cheers.

@maryfavour for @redfishpillar project.

Hahaha thank you much. I am using the test version of the new busy. I doesnt seem to have the slider yet. Yes, the old busy will definitely work. And yes, i didn't know of her bday. I just saw your wallet. You sent 25 to @oluwoleolaide and i was touched, so i was sending the money back to you for your own love for mama. i have mama news too. Like miracle happened. i have almost finished my wallet to pay bills but i will tell you in chat

Thank God there is a good news... Finally I see the laughter.

Hahaha thank you much

God is faithful.

You can see

God has his way of putting smiles on his childrens face

You sent 25 to @oluwoleolaide and i was touched, so i was sending the money back to you for your own love for mama
Oh, thank you so much for your thoughtfulness . Yes, I did transfer 25 SBD to @oluwoleolaide to help me exchange for naira snd remit to my mother. She did the semi-final stage defense of her thesis and it was her birthday too.
i have mama news too. Like miracle happened. i have almost finished my wallet to pay bills but i will tell you in a chat

Haaaaaaleeeeeluiiiiiia!!! Wow! We thank God, who is merciful. He really answers prayers. I can't wait to hear your testimony!

@maryfavour for @redfishpillar project.

He has to, without him we're nothing

I love this!


Hi @surpassinggoogle indeed another post on Let's help Steemit developers to test https://steemitstage.com perhaps i have read your post and according to me we should all as steemians help the Steemit developers to improve Steemit as a blockchain network since Steemit development lies in our hands we as steemians,indeed this is another alternative site that will better Steemit for its users we as steemians the people on Steemit infact it will come with new features of which it will be great to put in use,also i do believe that it will be a communication platform that will connect Steemit users and developers for better improvements and development here on Steemit,lastly it is impressive to see that on this platform there is real reputation but all in all reputation does not matter since it does not mean when you are on reputation 25 you can not jump upto 100 as days pass by or you don't have a reputation of 100 in actual sense as you said,finally lets us be humans by portraying love,forgiving and not condemning as for me i will surely forgive all the people that do hurt me just like you said mr Terry ,stay safe boy Terry since you are a blessing on Steemit much love from @davidkaruah to @surpassinggoogle.

Indeed Awesomeness as usual,thank you for your time and upvote since you are also awesome my friend,lastly blessings sir Terry.

@surpassinggoogle

Let's help the steemit devs! Steem (blockchain) isn't down; has never been!

never? what's going on then? just slow?
I've had the weirdest experience last night - I posted, it appeared on the "new" section and then I copied the URL but when I refreshed and sent it in the chat channel it looked weird and had nothing on it except for the link
what could be the problem?
thumbnails on some posts are also not showing up
comments and ups are loading but takes time and sometimes had to cast them several times .. is it just getting sluggish when it says gateway 503 or something like that?
sorry to ask a lot .. but I'm not the only one asking these questions
thanks for the tip about steemitstage and busy
for now Steemit's working just fine - a bit slow but working

Yes its slow. Its been having some attacks. Something too many transactions at a time. I wonder who is doing such. But i am sure they are working on it. i am using steemitstage for now

I see .. thanks for the info!

I never really knew about this steemitstage. Thanks for bringing it to our notice.

Hello @surpassinggoogle

Thanks for this revelation. I was even planning to make a post about busy.org before I stumbled upon this one, which has www.steemitstage.com in addition to what I originally had in mind to communicate my fans about. This post is most appreciated because it would help ease the nerves of some members who are ill informed and who don't know that there is a wide difference between steemit.com and steem blockchain.

Steemit.com is only a front-end built upon steem blockchain. Steem does not depend on Steemit.com as alternative front-ends can as well be used to access steem blockchain just like busy.org, chainbb.com and the latest revelation from you.

I think this fact should be communicated to people during sign up stage to avoid unnecessary panics whenever steemit.com is down for one reason or the other.

Thanks for sharing this post. Thanks.

@eurogee

Yes. Ofcourse, do the post about busy. I am testing the new version of busy currently and it will be great. You can talk to @fabien if you want to test it. And yes that difference you mention is even the sole info steemians need to tap into success, vision etc. Many get lost in only the blogging

I saw this steemitstage some time ago but thought it looked phishy :)





So, I didn't bother to try it, one cannot be too careful :)
But seeing you approve it, I'll give it a try even though I usually use busy.org to access it as I kinda likes its GUI. Great to see another alternative. Keep steeming.

Yes, the link does look like that. i left references to it underneath my post to steemitblog and steemitdev with regards to steemitstage. busy is good enough.

Looks pretty cool, I am replying this response via steemitstage website.

Hahaha yes. the steemit feel. i had to use it cos many of my comments were disappearing

I usually copy my comments before clicking post, nothing is as frustrating as making a nice comment and see it disappear after clicking post with no way to recover it but by typing it again. Happened to me thrice or so then I learned the hard way. So, I now copy before posting, if it disappears, I'll just paste and try again. It is a bother, but I guess it's just for the time being. Thanks.

Steemit had a little issue few days ago, post disappearing but I guess it has been fixed

I tried posting from busy.org yesterday for the first time. There's further development like you pointed out but seems really promising. I love the "draft". I can now scribble ideas as they come, then improve later as inspiration come.

Will try the staging steemitstage.com later. I was actually able to vote with the slider in busy though, they must have added that recently.

I know I haven't been condescending directly, but thought it, and that is just as bad. Appreciate the reminder, and the many forgiveness, not just from you but the entire platform.

The busy i refer to is a new one being tested. i made an error. i was using the one when i was doing this post. busy has always exist, so i believe the old one has the slider. If you want to test to new one, you can contact their CEO @fabien. You have done nothing wrong. Not all info is bare.

Ah yes, saw that from their channel. I tried logging in but haven't really explored it like the old one. They also do not want to share the URL publicly so I guess it is a privilege to try it out, or is it because of limitations like bandwidth? Will try that one too. I still saw the "draft" function there as well as separated entries from yourself and your reblogs, that is cool too.

Hi, I think there's a typo towards the end -- you say to type in "steemgig" but the image further above shows your witness node to be "steemgigs", plural at the end.

I checked both users, and "steemgig" is only rep 25 and hasn't done much, so I think you may want to add an "s" to the sixth word from the end.

If I'm seeing this wrong, please let me know what's right? Thanks!

Woah, its steemgigs. i didnt know someone has done @steemgig. Really, even steemgigs.com was bought by someone last time i checked. For a period, i dont know if that duration as expired. i will edit now. Thank you alot

Sure thing! Glad to help out. Thank you so much for sharing this site, it has made today so much more pleasant than the past week.

I am recovering from multiple concussions, and get quite irritated when computers don't act right. This post (which I've resteemed) has helped my sanity a great deal today, thank you thank you thank you! :)

You are welcome. Take care and recover soon

Thanks for the good wishes! The first had me out of work for 7 months -- and, I went back too soon. The second permanently disabled me, and the third was just the universe saying "hey, stop thinking about writing code" or something...

Hopefully I will recover, but at this point, it seems a very long and winding road.

But my pattern-matcher is apparently still working! :D

I tried to log in it says only one IP per phone oh my! it wont let me, but steemit
was down a few minutes ago, i hope Terry you get this up and running, i support you

Oh on a fone. The web works. i dont know if mobile works but if you use browser on mobile, i wonder if it will work. Esteem should work but i hardly use a fone

Even on a phone. Its still not login in, would there be a solution for this? Somebody help me with a solution.

Thought it wasn't only me. Having the same issue
