WTF Is Up with STEEM Right Now?

in steem •  7 years ago  (edited)

Things are moving reeeeeeeeeeeeeal slow. I'm getting broadcast errors... Some services seem completely broken, e.g. @smartmarket just swallowed my money with no response... Even my steemd node is running at like 3% of a CPU core when its normally above 50%. The log file is moving like molasses. [edit looks like smartmarket is starting to wake up, see comment below]

Did the whole network just slow down? Or am I bugging out right now? Normally when computation slows down to crawl for no reason like this its memory issue....

Any thoughts?

Hello @marketstack, I really love what you have done so far even on my blog, but please can chat on maybe, discord, whatsapp or telegram?

Good post.Much obliged for sharing it

I thought it was me! I was ready to call my Internet provider with a complaint!

that wierd, i replied back to you and got a series of "broadcast error"'s even a curious "account doesn't exist" error
then i thought it went thru
then i realized it hadn't
here's hoping this comment makes it...

and having trouble posting is one thing... having trouble sending money is another... just be careful sending money around cuz it might fall into a black hole as a result.

seems like it works fine for a bit then BAM slowness
perhaps just one or two witnesses are having problems, and when its their turn to be block producers they just hang

either way i'd like my money back LOL

update: looks like smartmarket is starting to wake up and vote, which will come as a relief to many others like myself!!

I got the account doesn't exist error also. I found a post that is about using Steemitstage, by logging in using your posting key. It's on a separate line from the network so it's faster when it gets like this. I am logged into it now, for a test to see if there's improvement.

Update - it does seem to be much more normal on Steemitstage.

thanks for the heads up! i'll check it out

Yup going hard n harder

Thanks for visiting my blog and your upvote! Following you Now!

i was too having this problem, but now it is fine.

Thanks for your support and upvote In My cryptocurrency post good friend. You gain a good follower! @marketstack

It's not just you buddy. Steemit server is running like a snail, maybe you want to try busy.org it's much functional

I've been getting the same thing the last couple of weeks. I hit the post button and get an error message. Second sometimes third time lucky to get it to really Post! And when up voting I have to watch the circle go round for ages, as otherwise I do not know if my vote was counted or another error occurred.
I thought it was due to me using my work laptop and it having some kind of bad connection
I also get the account doesn't exist messages. Even when going to my own blog it will say No Followers, No Posts and Not Following anyone...... whhhhaaaaaaaaatttt!?! a few hits of the refresh button does eventually fix this.

Same thing here! @bumper swallowed my money too.

I'm totally sure I have days of going through this episode all the time ,and I was wondering if my computer was slow and I had to do something about it, now I can be calm, I'm not the only one who goes through this.
