Shutdown of steem.rocks

in steem-rocks •  7 years ago  (edited)


When I joined Steem 6 months ago, there was not a good interface to learn what's happening with your account. And I had been curious with the blockchain, therefore I have created steem.rocks. Today, it's lifetime came to an end.

Reasons


  • Operational costs (Both time and money.)

All operations are indexed to a MySQL database in the background. This requires a good amount of processing power and resources.

  • Unstable public nodes

steem.rocks needs a private node to catch-up with the chain and respond fast. Public nodes are unstable, private nodes are expensive. I almost switch the nodes every day to keep the site going and it's not sustainable for me.

Alternatives


Open Source


I shut down the hosting but the code is still open-source. You can investigate the code, or host your own version.


Special thanks to @favcau, @crokkon, @isnochys for the code contributions to the project.

:( I miss it. It gave me my 100% vote value if I was at 100% power.

smart man, makes smart moves. i know you would have worked it all out regards time etc ;) some code should expire right? :) but nice to know the code is there and open source :)

I really used it a lot. Thank you for your work :)

Thanks for your contribution to the Steemit community

Oh, I'm so sorry... it has a so nice, all in one and complete interface!

Congratulations for having made it @emrebeyler... who knows that someone has the opportunity to host it?


P.s.: I voted for you as a witness, as you suggested me via wallet.

While I didn't use it all the time, I found myself visiting at least once a weak thanks to some of advantages of rocks. That's really unfortunate. Thank you for hosting it for so long though!

I am crying right now that was my one and only info center :(

try the alternatives. :)

Oh, it's unfortunate, but in my opinion you tried your best and your efforts will pay off in one or other way, and i hope and wish that you will get success in your future projects. Keep doing the great work and and wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂

Please don't forget the great steemworld.org in your list of alternatives ;)

done. 🤓

Thank you for the work and time you've given into steem.rocks over the past few months, it is (or was, in this case) a "go-to" site for any somewhat intermediate Steemit user.

I hope someone who can cover the costs can host the site again, under a different name; Thanks to Open Source.

I'm sorry to hear that you shut it down. I used it frequently, but I absolutely understand the reasons. Thanks for your work on steem.rocks!

steem-rocks, perfect way to check your good interface and to learn what's happening with your account@emrebeyler

it was :)

Oh man :(
One of the best sites in the blockchain.
Thank you for your work.

I never used STEEM rocks what is it MY friend?

I have just used steamworld now to check my account details and believe me when i say its awesome, it is @emrebeyler
Thanks for sharing this tips

Great job, lets keep improving the community!

Soldier goes, Soldier comes.

The ability to let go what you built, nurtured and used to impact others in a positive way,mean courage and being truthful to yourself.

I am sure, you will have huge loads of lessons to share based on that project.

What are your next projects?

Aw man, that sucks.. But understandable decision

:( was my go-to interface. Makes sense to wave goodbye if it's a drain on resources though. 👋

Awww. I've only learned about it now. But at least you've done something out of steemit. 👍👍👍

I am happy finding you, I am on steemit for more than 11 months and I did a lot to grow here, and I know a lot of tools, I don't know why I didn't meet anywehre this steem.rock, anyway, is there a way to contact you ? I am looking for a developer and I have a lot of idea about projects can be created on steem blockchain, but I am not a developer, can I contact you somehow ?
