A few days ago I mentioned that I'm "moving to Busy.org" and no longer using Steemit.com for my daily posts.
Read here: https://steemit.com/busy/@ashe-oro/i-m-moving-to-busy-org
After receiving a lot of comments and direct messages (on Facebook), there seems to be quite a bit of confusion about what exactly Busy.org is. Today's post should clear some of that up.
Let's go over some blockchain basics.
Steem is a blockchain. Steemit.com is a "block explorer" and way to interact with the Steem blockchain. Basically, Steemit.com is ONE WEBSITE that allows you to see the contents of the Steem blockchain. Some call this a "front-end" interface.
There are already several Steem block explorers (or front-ends) which all you to view the data and transactions of the blockchain. These include Steemit.com, Busy.org, ESteem.ws (designed for mobile), DTube, DSound, Zappl, DMania.lol and it seems like many more every month.
When I said that I'm "leaving Steemit.com and moving to Busy.org", I didn't mean that I would stop posting on Steem, but instead I decided to use a different website "front-end" to access and submit posts to the Steem blockchain. Don't worry, i'm not going anywhere and ur stuck w/ me ^_^ keke
If you post something on, let's say, Busy.org...in the URL if you change the part that says "busy.org" with "steemit.com" then you'll see your exact same post on the Steemit.com website. If you post a video on DTube, it will also be available on Busy.org. See how this works?
Some front-ends only display a certain type of content. For example, DSound was built to only display audio and Dmania.lol was built to only show images. DTube was built to only display video. If I post a video on DTube, it will show up on Steemit and Busy (because they display everything) but it wouldn't show up on DSound or Zappl because the type of content (video) isn't supported on those front-ends.
Check it out, replace the URL for this post. Swap out "steemit.com" with "busy.org" and see what happens. (FYI: It seems like Busy.org is overloaded today and I can't get the website to load, thus i'm actually creating this post on Steemit.com). See how that works? It doesn't matter what website I use...i'm just submitting posts to the Steem blockchain!
Examples of this for the Bitcoin blockchain. All of these "block explorers" show the exact same information for the Bitcoin address 1KraNMPw7QMaaLmHsiMj57QKq9GHvZLKgh
- BTC.com - https://btc.com/1KraNMPw7QMaaLmHsiMj57QKq9GHvZLKgh
- Blockexplorer.com - https://blockexplorer.com/address/1KraNMPw7QMaaLmHsiMj57QKq9GHvZLKgh

- Blockcypher.com - https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/address/1KraNMPw7QMaaLmHsiMj57QKq9GHvZLKgh/

Personally, I love Dusr.org more than steemit as Busy has a more friendly user interface.
and it has more options in editing text while writing posts or comments.
Also, it shows the profile with a more professional looking and large size for posts images (Thumbnail) which is so fair for artists if they want to show the artistic images from outside to attract new people to come in and check the post.
I believe that Busy.org is the best interface till now on all apps based on STEEM blockchain and it's able to make steem popular than Reddit and Quora in the near future :)
That's why I agree with you @ashe-oro when you moved into @busy.org
Thank you Ashe for sharing this info with us, really helpful :)

Lol logging in to busy.org was a big eye opener. Just logging in and seeing all the same posts, but with notifications and a smoother interface helped me understand everything you've posted here. It's somewhat akin to seeing a website in two different browsers.
It's all the same blockchain, just a different way of seeing it.

So basically busy.org is a new skin for steem, and from the short time I was over there seems to be a better skin. I'll be trying it out this week. Thanks.
Also any idea if there are any security concerns around transferring steem/claiming steem ect from there?

I like that you can actually see all your notifications and your current voting power. It seems like they expose the data from the blockchain more as well in the activity tab.

Thanks for sharing this @ashe-oro! One question that I have is, is it just a smoother interface? I know that DTube have the 500K SP delegated to them in order to make it more lucrative for people to use their site, does busy.org have anything similar? I'm going to try it out now!

I use busy.org to post from mobile too because it faster, I like the preview and auto save drafts. But when commenting from mobile I prefer steemit.com and testing steemitstage.com too :)

Very interesting, i've seen some links with busy but didn't have time yet to research it. You think that busy is better for posting than steemit? and maybe by posting there also, its possible to achieve more views that only on steemit?
