Warning - Curation Trails disabled because of bandwidth issues

Hello everyone!

So just when we are ready to make the most out of curation trails for the @photofeed project, the network is experiencing issues. @timcliff wrote a good piece explaining why this is occuring. You can read about it here.

In the meanwhile, what it means for us is that the steemauto service cannot be relied on for me to follow the votes of @photofeed (30minutes later). This shouldn't discourage you from signing up to steemauto or participating to the #phtofeed tag. I know the guys at Steemit are working hard to solve this issue.

The solution we came up with is that when @photofeed resteem your photo, I will upvote it with a generous upvote. In some ways, @photofeed will become a kind of "curated" version of the #photofeed tag.

Want to be resteemed?

Follow the example of @dmytrokorol here not only did he took an amazing shot but he also shared his settings!

Like this:

SettingValue
CameraSony NEX-6
LensSony E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS
Focal Length16mm
Apatureƒ8
ISO400
Shutter2.5 s

This indicates to us that you know what you are doing and that it is your original photography.


PS: We've seen people starting to post non-photography stuff under that #photofeed...hoping for an upvote. Please don't do that. @photofeed as a policy to not flag...but I'm personally short of patience for people who abuse this tag that we've just launched.

I knew people would start doing this , I guess it’s time to pull out the guns and start a flag war . Thanks for the update on the camera lens part

I agree with you @journeyoflife, some cleaning up need to be done to curb the abusers.

The flag war is really going to be intense.

Flagging aggressively seems like the only way to get traction on that issue.

Flagging might be the only issue. However, maybe you guys should leave a comment with a warning first? Something that tells them to not use this tag for photos that are not their own, or else they will get flagged the next time.

that would be best; a warning first before flagging.

I believe a warning first before flagging down would be just fine just to clarify our conscience.

We have faith on steemit and Steemians. Hope everything will settle soon. I request to all not to spoil the tag #photofeed. Show your talent in photography and earn rewards for that. Thanks

This is just a step to making sure that the community is a better place.

Sunset on the White Lake by @dmytrokorol is beautiful. I believe that at some point, those who abuse photofeed tag should be flagged, specially when they were being warned.

Exactly what i feel also.

It seems many of the upvoting systems are having issues....

I am hoping this is a temporary situation....

The last few days I had to manually upvote your posts....It isnt the end of the world, just makes it tough to stay up on..

I have to go through and make sure I didnt miss any.

Thanks for the update.

I guess the problem is still on.

I just believe that if you are assisting a newbie to see his or her way around you should be able to lecture that person about the right tag to use for various kind of post....let the change start from you..
I trust the guys at steemit to get things fixed ...

It seems you're really serious about having a 'clean' photography tag. I appreciate your hard work. I browse for nice photos during my free time and this tag is a big help. Congratulations to everyone involved!

Congratulations to you also.

Ok, I'll manually upvote your posts as well, since the autovote for your fans is disabled too

Lol, you should take it easy. It might not be the way it sounds.

found a little mistake to fix
2018-01-11 23_21_23-Warning - Curation Trails disabled because of bandwidth issues — Steemit.png

I thought as much

Give a human an inch, they would wanna take a yard

Reason i asked in your last post

If the curation was done manually or autovotes

It's just outrageous that even now so many people don't understand what tags are for. They just use random tags to reach out to wider audience/viewers in a cheap attempt to get upvote. This just shows absolute lack of commonsense. If you post doesn't have anything to do with photogrgaphy.....don't tag anything with the friggin' word "PHOTO."

I'm glad to see this post! Sometimes, I forget posting the settings of the shot but it's clearly beneficial. While reflecting on one of my posts, I realized that I only had to use too fast of a shutter for the moon because I was too lazy to set up the tripod (with mosquitoes all around me on the rooftop and no lights). I just shot it off-hand while resting my elbows on top of the concrete fence and hurried downstairs. I wonder what it would look like if I used a long exposure.

In the meanwhile, what it means for us is that the steemauto service cannot be relied on for me to follow the votes of @photofeed (30minutes later). This shouldn't discourage you from signing up to steemauto or participating to the #phtofeed tag. I know the guys at Steemit are working hard to solve this issue.

Ok. Thanks for informing us about this updates. Hopefully, everything will be back to normal soon.

Happy Steeming

Yeah thanks to him for informing us cos if not we might end up deformed like people flagged for using wrong content for the photofeed tag.

@dmytrokorol, is an ultimate photographer. Guys like him must be praised and the #photofeed tag will do this job accurately. I hope that people on steemit will not ruin this tag and will upload good quality photographs under this tag. The photo you uploaded in this post is an awesome click.
Happy Photography, @photofeed.
Thanks.

The example of @dmytrokorol was very beautiful:
Setting Value
Camera Sony NEX-6
Lens Sony E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS
Focal Length 16mm
Apature ƒ8
ISO 400
Shutter 2.5 s

Thanks for the update and info
Will add the photo Ingo for future posts

Some people use tags randomly without any knowledge and they mashup all this. I hope it will not happen with #photofeed tag. This is the tag to appreciate quality photography and encourage the photographers like @dmytrokorol, I hope it's a short time issue and it will be resolved very soon.
@cryptoctopus and team, You guys always come up with a nice solution.
Thanks.

Excellent post about @photofeed. Awesome photography. Thanks for sharing such a good post.

I personally like the Tag and the idea s well and I read an article you resteemed yesterday explaining the team and the process.
For sure everything will be doing great soon. Too many people support you no matter how many haters out there.

You are right. Nice post. @cryptoctopus

Both images are beautiful. I prefer the second one. The dark colors and almost purple sky seem to talk to me. Full of energy and uncertainty !!!
Exciting
Thank you for sharing

You said many important things to the PhotoFeed timer, all of us should abide by some rules and principles so that we can achieve success.

Bandwidth.... Because of this problem I stay away from Steemite den every time :( @cryptoctopus

Please follow me back

Thanks. I'll for the effort. I'll add my camera settings to my blog when I use my Canon Rebel. I'll aim to add my watermark too. Keep up the great work.

PS: We've seen people starting to post non-photography stuff under that #photofeed...hoping for an upvote. Please don't do that. @photofeed as a policy to not flag...but I'm personally short of patience for people who abuse this tag that we've just launched.

I talked about this yesterday when I saw the introduction of #photofeed. I knew some some people that abused the #photography tag will still go ahead to abuse this new tag.
But thanks to the amazing people overseeing this new tag, I know the abuse will be easily corrected and the defaulters given a warning.

Hi @cryptoctopus, thanks for the guidance using that post by @dmytrokorol. He sure is a talented photographer that understand how to compose his subject very well... will heed your advice on that table list. I think it's high time for me to buy a new camera then I can start posting using this photofeed tag as all the photos that will be using this tag are undoubtedly professionals. Otherwise, I will refrain myself from using that tag.😊

Beautiful photo shoot. Good post about photofeed. I like your activities.

I have not registered on steam auto but a couple of my friends on the steemit platform were complaining some hours ago. I'll inform them now. Thank you.

Nice one. Thanks for this.
We have some good and talented photographers around with good works that speak for them but they are not noticed so I believe with the help of this new tag, they'll be shot to the limelight.

It's amazing photography

Thank again for launching this great new initiative..

Well, I hope your initiative goes well, even with this small pause! I like the idea of serious photographers having a chance to see their work featured, and somehow separated out from the oceans of people who take pictures of their belly-button lint with their smartphones...

Of course, there will always be those who will try to get a free ride, and I suppose all one can do is to make it so that doing so is not profitable for them. Shame this all just boils down to money and the essence of true talent gets lost in the process.

Thanks for the valuable advices, yes no one here have the right to disobey the real purpose of tag, thanks you are great, wants to be part of your project.

@cryptoctopus,
Yeah every tag got spammers! Therefore, I think you have to allocated % of SP to flag those spam contents as well! Hope STEEMIT dev team will fix that problem soon!
For me this is a good sign! Last time we got huge amount of errors before STEEMIT dev team launch new version of STEEMIT :D So, I think this is a good sign for us! Probably they are testing something much more powerful like SMT!

Cheers~

PS: We've seen people starting to post non-photography stuff under that #photofeed...hoping for an upvote.

It's simply human nature and am afraid there is no fix to this, an opportunity presents itself to earn humans we always try look for a way to exploit it and the idea of upvoting resteemed post looks great but there is so little a single account can search for.

Once again nice idea about helping photographers via the steem blockchain

I would like to participate in this, but I do not have an expensive camera. I just have a Kodak point and shoot.

I do know the difference between snapshots and photographs. However, it is an art, and tends to be subjective.

I have also read where photographers who carry a simple point and shoot, have made the shot with it, after dropping their expensive camera in a creek.

I was randomly reading blogs and got into yours . It's good of you that have started the initiative . I yeah I do find many of the tags being used just to get up vote or its more like disclaiming tags . The field of art should be pure and original . I do find tags being misused when I search art or drawing works . So this should be done . Wish I could take part in your lovely initiative but unfortunately I am a sketch artist so best of luck in the initiative . Lets hope after this initiative tags aren't misused.

Thanks @cryptoctopus,

for telling us in detail about #photofeed. your advises are valuable for us.

This indicates to us that you know what you are doing and that it is your original photography.

I also read the article about "Curation Trails disabled because of bandwidth issues" very well written by @timcliff. that is really a problem due to which fed up many peoples. thanks for updating such a informative stuff.

Is that new @#photofeed
Nice photograph
Wanna join

this is just a great information .. i must search for it at my own.. seems an interesting topic... i have followed you upvoted you aswell.. please upvote resteem and follow back as well :) looking forward for your new posts.

Well done. You actually trying to help photographers to do well on steemit!
You're just an amazing person! I've just started B & W challenge, can I use that tag there?

Thanks for the post and the update.

I have been thinking recently of working to develop a decentralised Instagram of sorts.. I'm very interested in decentralised media platforms!

I would love to link it to Steemit in the same way that DTube is, but I haven't done much research in to it.

If anyone is interested, let me know and I can put a mock up together, post it to my page and you can all let me know if you like the design etc.!

I haven't researched competitors yet either, but it would be something that i would love to do.

Wow....really great photography, very nice look, amazing post thanks for sharing

I’ve been having trouble with steem auto for the past couple days, it may be unrelated, but hey, coincidence is fun too!

They should work on that problem because it is affecting a lot

I like photography my self too much :) I wish to become photographer :) thanks for such amazing post :)

maybe just give a warning first to those who are lost in the photofeed tag. and then flag them later. thanks for this information, in case we might make a mistake!

Hey @cryptoctopus
Thanks for update and nice sharing. Well its interesting like look busy and do nothing. Excellent blog sharing to steemian.
Stay blessed

Rules noted @photofeed you are a genius, always keeping us updated.

OK I have a ridiculous question... is phtofeed something or did you add a typo in your tags...?
Thank you for trying to improve the photo content while leaving the tag "photography" open for intuitive use. I just hate to see newbies get scolded for doing things that they very likely did not know were "rules."

Yeah you're right, they probably just wanted an upvote and did it out of ignorance so just let it go, things like that might make them give up on steemit. so I am apologizing on their behalf too @cryptoctopus

an error that I can't correct :/

Sweet I will have to make sure I start using that tag when I post my photography. And I always share my settings when doing a photography posts. But to be honest I am lazy and I just snip the settings and share the images of those underneath the photo it belongs to.

@cryptoctopus - Sir while we experience bandwidth problem, the proposed system of yours will work well Sir... I think bandwidth problem will resolve soon... Nice you decided to talk about this issue Sir...

+W+

Okay, would you guys be starting any contest thing as well? And is there any limit of photos per post?

Tag abuse is becoming a common thing on Steemit. If you check #introduceyourself tag, you will get surprised by the number of posts to relating to introduction. Back to Steemauto issue, there have been so many low payouts due to this disabled service. Maybe SBD will boom now lol

Its too bad that people take these things for granted. I'm solidly behind the no-flag policy, please do not lose your patience

Thanks for the info!
Just when I began being your fan :( does it mean my auto-votes for you won't work either?
I will just upvote you manually for now until it is to be fixed :)
I hope my friend will join soon! in the meantime I'll post one of his photos as tasting for what we can expect!

Thank you for the update.Hope every thing will be back to normal very soon
-cheers-

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

thanx to infrom us in advance @crytpoctopus hope they will solve it as soon as possible....and also good to suggest @dmytrokorol post for example and hope we will try make our post more valuable in @photofeed

oh thanks for the message..you have answered to all my questions :)

Very nice post @cryptoctopus I wish your support me Steemit thank you

This indicates to us that you know what you are doing and that it is your original photography.
impressive idea. photography with the knowledge & quality, this tag will increase photography quality of steemit photography @cryptoctopus

@resteemia
reteemed & upvoted & commented & followed

First off Congratulation on launching new system #photofeed for the betterment of community. And yes I take a look at @dmytrokorol's post. It's wonderful picture and the photographer seems very professional. Sir @cryptoctopus, please carry on your quality work for sake of community and Stay Blessed!

Best content friend, please follow back

I'm loving this initiative already!!! Just getting some ACTUAL comments is better than using the #photography tag already!

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

well hopefully the steemit guys solve it soon and good to hear that you never stop your service and have a solution to give rewards to all members who share the goood quaility stuff in @photofeed ...and sure the original work is first thing

Now I understand how to use the label

#photofeed

Now I learned to use these configurations for the best pictures with my Camera canon

Setting Value
Camera: Sony NEX-6
Lens: Sony E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS
Focal Length: 16mm
Apature: ƒ8
ISO 400
Shutter: 2.5 s

Is this why I'm having trouble upvoting today?

thanks for generating and providing solutions for submerged photographyI hope this will work

I'm a big fan of the transparency and non-coercive approach you all are taking with this initiative. I especially love the idea of listing meta-information for each shot, not just because it's a great way to separate out the real photographers, but also because it's a cool educational tool for the rest of us who'd like to get better.

Thank you! This photofeed tag does seem to be a good thing with some good people supporting it! I will tell some of my photomaniac friends to share their awesome photos with this tag ahah

tags photofeed semoga menjadi teks yang sensasional

I personally wouldn't have a problem with inappropriate posts getting flagged... the last thing you want is everyone spamming #photofeed and photography with every photo. Flagging will teach people that it's definitely not the way to go. I understand that a flag takes away from another person's upvote... but I think it might be a necessary evil.

Or maybe a bot like cheetah that comments? Something will be required to make people to follow the rules.

The bandwidth squeeze. I've managed to sign up for SteemAuto but can't get either you or photofeed followed :) It's only a matter of time I'm sure.

Did you ever wish you had an equipment melting reverse ISP ray? It would be as good as flagging the false uses of the tag.

Im not a professional photographer lol i do my best, im a point and click when i like it kind of girl i use both my honor 7 smartphone and my Sony digital slr so i hope my feed is up to standard :C

I have notice the inch with steemauto but i know they are on it and soon everything will be fine.
I love the idea of showing setting, that way we can tell to an extent who took the shut.

Nice photo. Your favourite photo machine ?

I'll sign up when I get home tonight. I think this is a great idea that needs to be supported! Thank you!!

I hope steemauto resolves this issue quickly.. All curation trail and fan base have been disabled.

This does suck but I'm sure it will get sorted out in time. In the mean time, I'll still be camping on that tag and trying to scalp the vote.

I think flags will be needed. This is why we can't have nice things...

If it is let slide, we will just get more of it.

Thanks for the post.

Keep Steeming!

Talking about wanting free votes @enolife made more than two comments on this post. From what you wrote about, does it mean the photography had to be done with a camera? What of our good mobile phones?

This is awesome and sucks that this released at the same time that curation trails are having problems, but clearly your not having problems gaining traction.

I have some old photos, but hopefully the fact of sharing other information can help verify that I'm the original photographer, but if not it will probably be better than other rewards I would have seen using other tags.

steemauto must be having other problems too? I'm your fan, and it shows it's still enabled, but the last three of your posts I've had to manually upvote when I saw them.

I've been having bandwidth issues every now and then on my end this past week too. Seems like a crazy week for Steemit in general with a few apps taking a hit too. Crazy how it didn't take long at all for people to start abusing the great hashtag you made for here...

I understand your issues..Thanks for sharing valuable post..

Interesting and valid - Fresh posts already seems flooded with clutter, but I guess that's what you get when combining SoMe with moneymaking..

So sad that we start off with a new tag, and it is being abused already. I think we should all not hesitate to comment on posts abusing the tag. We need to be firm on this.

Perhaps you should point out that you are using an image from Unsplash only to advertise the project. The idea is that you have to post original photography under this tag. I am correct, right?

Newbies searching on the tag will find this post and see an Unsplash image, and truthfully they won’t know that they are not supposed to post the images of others. Thanks for the initiative, though. It’s an exciting venture!!

Hey 👋🏻 I want to know if we can make a post with several pictures under the photofeed tag? Or is it just 1 picture per post?

any number you want

Thanks for the information, have a good day ♥

"The solution we came up with is that when @photofeed resteem your photo, I will upvote it with a generous upvote." That's actually a pretty neat one, making others able to do the curating for you :P Also seems like another good opportunity for frontrunning curation rewards xD

I totally love the sound of this. It's awesome!!
It'd be beautiful if you also created a "motivation" tag. So people can post really inspiring stuff under that category and therefore help other Steemians when they are down, or need that extra boost.
Cheers!!!

Alright I have a silly question.is phtofeed something or did you include an error in your labels.

Much obliged to you for endeavoring to enhance the photograph content while leaving the tag "photography" open for instinctive utilize.

I simply prefer not to see beginners get chided for doing things that they likely did not know were "rules."

Much obliged for sharing...Carry on dear..

Thank you very much for this. How do I sign up for steem auto?

Nice pic
