Yesterday the Steemit team released on update here.
The blogpost is about what has happened in the past, what they did right and wrong, and what's coming in the future.
The priorities are still the same:
Right now, our top priorities are blockchain scalability (AppBase), Communities (Hivemind), effortless onboarding (sign up + Hardfork 20), and Smart Media Tokens (SMTs). So much progress has already been made, and we are working around the clock to deliver them as soon as we can.
Now, there wasn't anything really new in the blogpost for users that follow the development of the Steem blockchain from day to day but there is a ton of info for the ones that don't.
It's a recommended read!
I do like the fact that they promised they will release more of these updates in the future.
Steem price has come down a bit overnight. Not to much about 15%. But to be honest the price of STEEM is less of a concern to me then it used to be. (although don't get me wrong, I do feel a little better when it goes up)
Lately I am more into growth numbers on the blockchain. And they look very good.
This week we had + 60k active members on the blockchain every day and also the powerdown statistics are starting to look better again with 300k STEEM vested in the last 4 days.
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.

Looking cold but sounding in a good mood today man, despite the markets falling a bit overnight.
Had the same 'oh' feeling as you when I looked at the @steemitblog post yesterday, we are waiting for the new stuff to arrive!
But yeah, it was much more comprehensive than it has been in the past, and even though no dates are mentioned, at least it gave a full picture of what is still in progress.
I also appreciated the admission that not everything has been great, with a particular mention to communication. Glad to hear that this has received some focus and is likely to improve in future.
Cool, have a good day in a chilly looking Holland!

Awesome video! Thanks for the update! Glad to see the conclusion you reached with regards to the update. That I believe one of the first updates I've seen sense joining in mid December 2017. So, it was good for me. Now coming from your standpoint, I see that as well. For now I just have my eye on the APPICS ICO! From what I understand, it's the first SMT! If they can get something moving there, I'd be very interested to see what happens next! What do you think? Either way, if it drops I'm going to buy more all the way down to $0.30! Lol Hopefully it doesn't go that low! Thanks for the post!

The launch of Smart Media Tokens will be a real game changer..Smart Media Tokens will allow anybody with even no coding knowledge to launch a new tokens, allowing any and every application to have their own Steem like token.

Whenever I see updates from Steem or any platform on it, I genuinely feel excited and read the whole post. I guess that goes to show how much I care about the success of this blockchain.
The addition of communities is something that I am looking forward to the most. I think it is awful when your content get published, only to get lost in a sea of other content after a few minutes and you can barely get any more visibility after that from the public (unless they follow you).
I have a question that I hope you can answer. Is it possible (or will it be possible) to have your posting key changed to a personal password that you choose? As of now, all the passwords are a string of characters but I was thinking about when Steemit goes mobile, people should be able to log in easily for posting purposes using a user-entered password. The other passwords are good to have as a string of characters for security reasons, but for posting, maybe it would be better to just choose your own password so that you can log in easily from different devices.

I look forward to communities too. On your question: It's currently not possible and I don't think this will be possible in the future either. What is possible is scanning of the QR code representing the posting key. The app from @good-karma can do this for instance. It saves a lot of hassle.

Honestly, I feel the chill when I see steem going down but at the same time i am so much positive about its growth that i overcome that phase of nervousness pretty quick. It is a positive sign that we are seeing new enrollments on this platform. Your article contains all postitive vibes in it. Thanks

Excellent video friend and it's nice to hear that steemit team release an update and it's good that they are focusing on scaling, communities and SMT's and i think all of these developments are fantastic and will give steem an edge over rest, well as far as price is concern it's just a little dump and i hope we soon see double pump which surely push the price towards 10$, thanks for staying us updated regarding steem blockchain friend and wish you all the best in all of your future endervors! Stay blessed

It does hurt a bit as a trader with the drop in steem from $5. I find it interesting the shift in preference for SBD though. Nonetheless, as a trader it's more about the total picture than just price: more members, communication from devs, popular users from other platforms moving over all causes more long-term growth which will eventually reflect in the price.
Any plans for Steemify to be on Android, or a browser extension and desktop app?

Ned's post on the Steemit blog is a must-read for anyone interested in the future of the platform. I wasn't aware, for example, how much work has gone into the scalability of Steemit to prepare it for the next stage of growth. And the part where Ned introduces some of the new talent he's brought on board was interesting as well. Things looking good for 2018!

More communication will be great if they deliver on that promise. I think it was an upbeat, but somewhat cautious statement. Which means it's possible the dev team will overdeliver in 2018 - which would be awesome!
II wasn't aware of the multiple beneficiaries thing for posts/comments and don't believe I've seen it in use. Do you know of a use case of this feature?

Yes I do, When you post through dtube for instance. 25% of your reward (what your post makes) goes to dtube (the account). It's how developers can monetise their apps and frontends. I think that's great. They make awesome apps for us to make content with and they get rewarded (25%) when the person that creates content gets rewarded by using their app.

I've been here a couple days and the insincerity is the first thing that stood out. There are people who share thoughtful comments and you can tell they're just trying to get a vote, but at least they put some time and effort into what they're saying.
The group that bugs me are basically e-beggars with lazy, low-effort "thank you for posting"-type content. It's like chicks fishing for compliments and attention on Insta, but instead of putting SOME work into a cute photo they just snap a pic of themselves laying in bed, messed up hair and face pushed back showing off the double chin.
