Sorry Steemit/STEEM, I've had enough. Haven't posted in days, decided to post some art after reading that things are getting better, and both busy.org and steemit.com have stifled me today. Turns out "you can't post on busy.org" because the "Publish" button is always grayed out -- has anybody managed to post from busy?
Wasted an hour trying to get the post up. That's enough of my time spent here unproductively.
So, fuck it, I'm done. Beginning the power down as soon as the MinnowBooster delegation returns in a few days.
I'll still read, and try to upvote and comment, but I'll be darned if I continue to waste time trying to post.
Reminds me of a joke my neuro feedback therapist told me last week: "The toe said to the sock, 'I'm coming through!'; the sock said, 'I'll be darned if you do!'" :)
But I'm not really in a smiling mood right now.
awww sorry to hear you aren't sticking it out! I understand though. I'm sorry cuz I remember your enthusiasm when you first started. I'm sticking it out cuz I started with 0 without any initial investment. It might not be the best time to power down. - will miss you!

I hope to be back, just like I hope that my concussion symptoms resolve at some point and I can return to work.
My expectations are that both will continue to be issues for some time, and the former is affecting the latter, and my health is the most important thing. And my [1] good friend is leaving here, making me feel a little lost.
The neuro feedback sessions seem to have improved, the past two weeks; previously, after a session I was really irritable for 24-48 hours. The sessions "stress" my brain, the intention being to promote healing, but it's still stressful and there's something called "brain reserve" which I don't have much of now after having hit my head four times in the past four years.
And I can tell my frustration is coming out in my writing, and I really wanted to be positive here. So I'll step back for a bit, and heal. Thanks for the kind words.
[1] -- I had written most of the comment, and went back to add the sentence at the end of the second paragraph. Another bug bit me at the point I put the "[1]", which I've written about before. At busy.org, when editing a comment, it often moves the cursor to the end of the document, meaning whatever I was typing ends up split; for instance, the end of this was "Thanks for the kind words.good friend" before I noticed what it had done. So then I either have to move it or retype it, and hope that it doesn't jump the cursor again, then swear at the fucking shit that this place has become everywhere, and edit in fucking Notepad and then paste it in. I'm losing it, sorry, I'll stop writing for a bit. Maybe I'll set this up, but the concussions get in the way of that as well! :( https://busy.org/witness-category/@yehey/howto-step-by-step-guide-to-build-your-own-blockchain-site-like-steemit

well I took your advice and use steemitstage and it is a little more solid. I hope you heal well! 4 concussion oy! Listen, things could be worse as they say. My good friends son is still sitting in ICU after 3 weeks. He went into cardiac arrest and lay's in a coma - the doctors say he is brain dead. So take care of yourself; and things are looking up! You will heal and be back to great productivity.

Wow sorry to hear, hope for the best for him. You're right, I'm still ambulatory and am gardening and helping my dad with carpentry on his carriage house which had water damage. Could be a lot worse, but then, I'd heal better without constantly being frustrated... :/

Yep, saw it in busy.org popups twice and thought "oh great, notifications now have bugs?", but it was just a different already-known bug that causes multiple comments (someone on my "Bowie Knife" post had three comments!).

well on the upside I got more upvotes from you than anything else I commented on or posted today lol
I’m sticking with it because I had no other means of making crypto. Probably something to keep in mind. It’s better than crappy faucets for btc. If steem can proliferate more then it will rise in value. There are a lot of minnows like me who see no other avenues; so they will stick it out even with the frustration. That will help hold some value. I think some whales will eventually realize they have to help the lower class such as myself. If they don’t then there will be major roadblocks. I think a dolphin as yourself who put hard earned money into it wants more stability for the product they purchased. So I totally understand ROI. I hope the SMT idea goes somewhere. Seems like a Komodo type approach.. and they went into the crapper because of a shitty podcast on their future plans. I think the crappy statement from ned is on the same level and left people scratching their heads. Better steem inc relations is in order that’s for sure. Second time posting this.. grrrrrr

Looks like both came through. Also I see my upvote is worth more, so checked my wallet and I see it's all back now. Maybe I'll wait a little before powering down. Here, have a 100% upvote. Neat, $3.877 (on busy.org it shows another decimal point, which I think is really useful as many minnows aren't up to a penny yet, even for a 100% upvote).

Thanks! Yeah only 500-1000 SBD was earned (funny, how two different sites show two wildly different values); the rest was my investment-at-a-2/3-loss, for now... :/
I hope so as well! There exist proper development practices; hopefully, they'll hire a good Agile/Scrum/whatever-it's-called-these-days manager who can help with training.

In fact, last night as I was trying to get to sleep, I wrote down two things to post, one of which is a "LibertyTeeth Community Minnow Support Project", I'm opening up my Steem Voter to 20 slots and will ask everyone to vote for up to three others (no self-votes) and the top 20 will be added with 100% votes.
Thanks for the reminder (even though I'm replying 5 days later! :) ), I'll go make that post now!

It looked like it was getting better, then it started to go to crap again.
Well, you can sit on your Steem pile and wait for the upgrade to the tokens and then cash out when Steem hits $10.

You really think this shitstorm of a platform coin is going to rise to $10? With all of these problems, I can't see the coin going anywhere near $2. When smart tokens are launched the fat lady would have already sang.

Well, if it last to the 20 year point, according to the white paper it will go up as the supply increase reduces.
I believe that the SMT plan is to make Steem like Ethereum, which is in the $100s from being in the $1s.
More people using the tokens, will increase the value of Steem. When Steem stops pumping out automatically at the high rate and there is less to get on a yearly basis, then it will increase the value of Steem.

I can't confirm, but I saw in a rant that Synereo was in development before Steem. It might be a bit interesting to find out if it will operate much better than Steem or not. Regardless if it is better or the same, I think I would end up publishing to both.
I've been meaning to get on the pre-launch list. I probably should do it tonight.

They have definitely to do something.

Agreed. Especially with the two-sentence update from Ned that the problems are internal. Makes me (and many others) wonder whether the reported DDoS was just that -- merely reported, not factual.

I hit the upvote, I sat and sang to myself "the wheels on the bus go round and round" once again I hit the button and presto up goes your value by one whole cent. During that minute or so I had the opportunity to remember back in time as my daughter Kassie and I would sing this song, laughing so hard we had tears running down our faces because we were stuck in a traffic jamb and the wheels were not turning, but life went on, we didn't jump off the closest bridge, we are still here and yes we still to this day remind each other of the day when the bus wheels didn't turn. It's a traffic jamb, enjoy the time, look around and do something else until the wheels on your bus go round and round once again. .....walk tall my friend!..............billytwohearts

Thank you! I did. Had a neuro feedback session -- and also began the process to arrange to have a home unit; I'm his first patient to do so, so he's also in learning mode -- and when I came back, I wrote a post about a hot pepper I had grown which "attacked" me as I was getting its seeds. :) Blessings.
