Dear @DtubeDaily on @Dtube #135 // the mana change may feel like it sucks now but exposing the cost of this chain will become a big and important long term sustainability talking point.

this post is gonna cost me, and it should, because it’s a real world action on a real world server, on a server that costs money to run, power, silicon and produces heat. we tend to not consider the back end part of our frontend lives — we click the buttons and the stuff goes away to ‘somewhere’

Things cost, this exposes those costs, for us to scale past where we are today, to scale for a thousand companies to build their own steem powered services with tokens we need to have some kind of resource management, I feel that although this is a big change and feels clunky and restrictive I also do feel that it’s ground breaking and can be a massive talking point about the steem blockchain in years to come.

I have a rant in the video, check it out ;)
