Vlog 172: Steem turbine advance notice + Steem proofs an SMT can have value.

in dtube •  7 years ago 


With the growth of the STEEM blockchain, the role of the witnesses become more and more important too.

Especially when SMT's will come out.

I must say that even with the four men that make up our witness @blockbrothers (@s3rg3, @eqko, @bennierex and me) it takes a lot of time to make the witness run smooth, promote it and develop for it every single day since we started.

I am proud that our witness server has not missed a block and Steemify (the notification app for iOS) is doing extremely well.

In the financial department, the high SBD price is helping us a lot.

It's currently paying most of our expenses: 2 witness nodes (main and backup) + seed node + Steemify server.

Yesterday we made another announcement.

We are building a monitoring tool for witness servers and seed nodes called SteemTurbine.

Right now, we are testing this tool internally, smooth things out, but we will release it as Open Source via Utopian.io when we feel confident there are no major issues.

I talk about it more in my vlog.



I am a witness with our developer group @blockbrothers for the Steem blockchain. If you want to support us I would appreciate your vote here.

We build Steemify a notification app for your Steemit account for iOS.

I gave a vote to @exyle, I am @bayuya 's wife :)

Thanks for your reply. Voting for @exyle does not work because that username is not registered as a witness on the Blockchain. Our witness group @blockbrothers is. Would you please change your vote.

Check now :)

Perfect! Thank you so much!

@exyle please follow back me & upvote my post.please i ma new on steemit😢 but i dont get good response.can you help me..

tnx for resteem

I sent you a follow!

i need your vote

I voted

great , follow me please

I sent you a follow bro! follow back???

HELL YEAHHH!

YES-vote me in!

right now downwards unfortunately, oh the roller-coaster! Back up tomo hopefully.

It's a long game I guess :)

I'm optimistic about SMTs but a little disappointed that more haven't been announced, just Appics from what I've seen. I totally agree about having a clear plan, sticking to it and using it to help in the decision making process. Doing that has helped me a lot.

Thanks @exyle and team for all your help to the steemit platform. Keep doing the great job you guys do.

Do you think SBD price go below 5 usd or go above 10 usd.

And you are doing a nice job.

Just saying, do you think an altcoins can swap theirs for SMT ?
I am thinking big and this is one way steem blockchain can grow big.

I made the @blockbrothers witness-vote, keep up the good work!

Thank you for the support!

I voted Blockbrothers as witness. Thanks again for your enthusiasm for the steemit platform!

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Thank you for your support! I saw that you voted for us and then unvoted us straight after. This happens a lot. After you type in our name (blockbrothers) and press vote it's done. (no need to click the green upvote button).

Thanks for letting me know.

Nice job! I'm reading the tenth article of yours. You just got my witness-vote.

I am also a beginner in steemit,I hope we can work together,I am sure you are a great writer,so you show all your works in this #STEEMIT ,if you like short story,follow me @mindsmania
, Now i am in the process of writing a short story that i will post on the #STEEMIT platform..Thanks for your

I sent you a follow

Looking forward for SteemTurbine, i hope this will really help the witnesses.

You guys have been kicking ass if you are rolling out yet another tool in such a short time. I hope you will afford to hire some help soon so that you can keep this pace without burning out. I'm also glad android developers are showing interest in the Steemify app, we may have it sooner than anticipated ( fingers crossed)

Sir, how are you? I voted @blockbrothers. As I am new here something difficult to me. Such as I clearly don't know how witness works? Please, If you feel free then tell it details. Thank you.

Hi! And thank you for your vote. We have made a post in the past explaining the role of a witness. You can find the post here

Thanks a lot sir, for your support. I hope now I will understand about witness by reading attachment.

Hello @exyle I would like to contribute that grain of sand and support each other ... but I would like to know how to vote for @blockbrothers and be able to enter the team community that are working and doing an excellent mission SteemTurbine ...... waiting for you to be able to download the Steemify android application to my tlf and continue growing as great hulmides in support ..... I'm new to the page and I'm still looking to get that helping hand that can show me a little more and show how really use the applications of this excellent page .. !! I would greatly appreciate before hand a small explanation of how to vote for your work team.

Fellow blockbrother @eqko made a video explaining how voting works. You can find it here.

I hope this helps!

Excellent friend i vote for you... thank you very much for the help ..... I will be following you in each comment @eqko @exyle

Great news Mark and I are sure this new SteemTurbine tool that you and your team create will help in your work. It is also very nice to use your Steemify application, as it is very convenient and timely. Thank you for your work and tell us what's going on!

hi follow me @kuyalidan

Mark, yesterday (or the day before) I was wondering what NEWS you @blockbrothers will come up with; and today you already tell about SteemTurbine :-)
Interesting and good to have a tool to check up the witnesses !
GREAT AGAIN!

Nice job! I'm reading the tenth article of yours. You just got my witness-vote.

Thank you so much for your vote! Just to double check did you vote for witness @blockbrothers? We have not seen your vote come in.

Oha! Good thing you said it again, because I voted for @exyle! But I still have some votes left and have now cast my vote at the right place, so @blockbrothers. Now there are two votes.

he is good

It's good progress you're making sir @exyle. First was steemify, now steenturbine. Congratulations sir and I hope to see more creative ideas. Truly the high price of SBD has been a plus for most projects. Like my offline minnow school @bait002 and many others. I'm glad at the progress of the @blockbrothers, friends who sticks closer than most brothers. Good job sir.

We are looking forward : SteemTurbine

'quotation'

It will be able to securely connect to several servers at once, and detect if they are either down or out-of-sync before the server will actually start missing blocks.

There will be several methods of failing over to back-up servers and/or temporarily disabling the witness server if there is no reliable back-up available.

As an added bonus to server administrators, the tool will be able to send notifications and warnings via Telegram!

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Wow, this is great stuffs from the @blockbrothers. They been working tirelessly just to improve the blockchain. I'm proud of you sir and I can't wait to experience steemturbine on Android OS @exyle. Just voted the @blockbrothers for a witness

Thank you for your support!

Hope to steemturbine would be awesome with witness servers when SMT will come out. Perfect point of no major issues yet. Nice work @exyle.

@exyle,
Wow SteemTurbine sounds interesting! With SMT I think blockbrothers will change the STEEM history! Great work going on, probably you all will be full time Steemians soon!

Cheers~

Hopefully Steem prices can continue on an upward trend to help support your work and pay for the costs and expenses in running this.

Fantastic! Thank you for your support.

I just voted for @blockbrothers as a witness. I love your post :)

Thank you!

With my pleasure :)

I voted for @blockbrothers as a witness! Hope this helps and good luck with your plans :-)

thank you so much for your support! I saw the vote come in almost live :)

I must say that the @blockbrothers are doing an amazing job. The new year is looking really good for you guys.

Hey man

This tool sounds like something which is long overdue.

Definitely a good idea to hold back on releasing anything that you don't think is perfect. Theirs time to get it right, and if you do so then there is a good change what is produced could become the defacto tool - you are in business then!

Cheers

Asher

Thanks for the post!! Voted for your witness.

Thank you so much for your vote!

Yes indeed the high SBD price is helping us all alot I feel, and wow now Steem Turbine I will be curious on more as you release the info about it keep up the good work @exyle

What successful SMT-based cryptos exist now?

STEEM is pretty successful I would say. SMT's are not out yet. They will be released at the beginning of 2018. APPICS is one project that will be using them.

very good

Thanks for everything you do for the community. That is awesome that you are working on additional applications for witnesses. SteemTurbine sounds like a great application. I will look into SMTs.

I always wonder what's the advantages being a witnes?

Without witnesses, there would not be a functioning blockchain. We have made a post that hopefully will help you with some questions. here

I have to admit i did not know it was this easy to vote,
well i know who im voting for :)

Thank you! We saw the vote come in!

Sometimes when I read your post, I feel like you write from another realm.
I'm awestruck

Sorry! Sometimes it's hard not too. I do also make easier posts from time to time. Like this one where I try to explain blockchain for the beginner. here

I have just voted you as a witness. Great work you guys are doing. Keep it up!

Thank you so much for your support!

You're the first ones I voted in witness @exyle . Just voted for @blockbrothers too. 👍

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Thank you so much for your vote! Just to double check did you vote for witness @blockbrothers? We have not seen your vote come in yet. We have made a video showing how the voting works here. Thank you for your time.

Thank you for checking @exyle , I think I missed the s earlier. I am sure my vote is locked in now. :)

I just voted for @jesta as a witness

@jesta is a good choice! He does a lot for the blockchain. I hope you would also consider @blockbrothers.

Nice job sir. I always read your articles and am sure have not missed 1 since i joined steemit. You just got my witness-vote now.

Thank you, man!

@exyle I enjoyed reading your post. I am new to Steemit and I am enjoying it so far. I am learning so much and your posts have helped open my eyes to even more. I thoroughly enjoy your posts. I voted for @blockbrothers, I wish you luck in your successes.

Thank you so much for kind words! All the the best to you.

Good to hear new updates. Please let me know how i can vote for @blockbrothers as witness. Technically i am not sound although my job is to create good sounds on guitar. :)

You can find instructions on the bottom of my post or you can quickly watch this video we made explaining how it's done. here! Thank you for taking the time.

Great to see the overall updates and what a mess i have one i didn't yet voted for blockbrothers sorry my mistakes but have corrected it ;) voted blockbrothers as witnesses :D

Thank you @blazing!

As a relatively new Steemian I absolutely love your videos and what you're sharing. Keep up the great work. Thanks.

Thank you!

A very informative update. I like the hard work you and your co-witnesses are putting into the block chain. Personally, I feel very optimistic about the future of Steem and SMTs. I am beginning to think it is the future we were promised at the dawn of the digital age. Although I am fairly new to this site and crypto, I am trading the SBD I can for Steem and powering up. I am also working on some friends to come on board. I look forward to your next update. Have a Happy New Year!

Thank you and I'm also looking forward to SMT's. I think it will take the blockchain to the next level! Getting people on board can be tough at first. I'm slowly getting more friends and family on.

excellent post

A good job indeed with your witness group. I am sure that 2018 will bring more success to all of us...upped, always.
In my latest post (pls see it) I indicated an abuse going on here and I want you to see it and take action. I wish you more success

very good

Yes, information is very useful. I hope you enjoyed your day off.

Nice job enjoyed reading the post @exyle

you people are not resting at all, now coming up with steemturbine. great job

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Thanks for the update. How I wish steemify was made available for andriod users

Thank you for the information. I must admit that I am not so familiar with the witness and the work they need to do - but I have learned something in this respect just now and have also voted for my first time for a witness - blockbrothers... keep up the good work and thank you.

Very interesting post which shows what the witnesses do to protect the blockchain. Voted blockbrothers for witnesses. Thank you!

I hope SBD keeps increasing

Steem proofs are really needed to measure value.

And there you have my vote :) I voted for @blockbrothers, this is correct, right? Hope you're having an awesome day, and a great new year.

Looking forward to the new year, hopefully i can grow my SP enough to help award the "unseen" posts.
ps.
Can i ask you something btw? Right now, i would rather vote on unseen content from new users, than on this post, because it is currently worth 500 dollars. This is only because that i think 500 dollars is enough, but i have no idea how much it takes to be a witness (running nodes and stuff). So would you agree that i should rather vote on new, unseen content instead, and spend my voting power on that?

Also, i realize that it doesn't really matter, because my vote is worth absolutely nothing, i have like 290 sp all in all, but in the future, i hope i'll be having more :)

good job my friend

great , follow me please

Since I’m new, i see your post which are quite interesting ad easy to understand i will vote for you.
