Today we released a bonus feature we’re calling the “Coin Marketplace” which will now appear below the "Updates Log" in the sidebar. We know that one of the most common reasons why people leave steemit.com is so that they can check the price of STEEM and their other favorite coins. For that reason we decided to give our users the ability to check those prices right from steemit.com.
Improving Steemit.com
One of our priorities right now is developing a roadmap for improving steemit.com, one component of which will likely be how to better integrate community code contributions. But in the meantime, we wanted to begin adding features to the site that we were reasonably confident would be of value to users. Steemit.com has become the central hub for people interested in all kinds of different crypto projects. To quote @birdinc, it's "The Front Page of Crypto." Now those people will be able to stay on top of their favorite coins without having to leave steemit.com .
Just the Beginning
As of now the Coin Marketplace feed will feature STEEM, SBD, BTC, ETH, and XRP, but next we intend to allow users to click through the feed into a page that lists the top 200 coins. But what do you think? Leave your feedback below.
The Steemit Team
I think it would be great to use CoinGecko instead of CMC since they're on Steemit. They are also a witness.
What do you think?

Yeah I thought this was a joke, seriously, they installed the equivalent of a Wordpress widget that shows the price of cryptocurrencies, something I can make my smartwatch do.... Embarrassing that they release stuff like this as a "suprise feature"
Where is the Steem Tip Bot for reddit? Where is the OFFICIAL Steemit AND Ned Accounts on Reddit?!?!
You know how many people are on the r/Bitcoin Subreddit? There are like double as many people on there as on steemit! 10 times if you go with active users, and so thats OUR recruiting ground! And then theres even more people on r/cryptocurrency r/dogecoin r/eos r/ethtrader
Just please @ned and @steemitblog go post on https://reddit.com/r/bitcoin and make a post about how youre ned and youre from steemit and you just want to offer some upvotes or give some reddit gold or better yet TIP them, like take 10 bucks, ill send you the ten bucks if your really dont have ten bucks, and give out 20 steem to 20 different people, thats a lot of people on reddit and when its all public, with a steem tip bot, or when you just use the existing btc and dogecoin tip bots, you'll get so much publicity for steem where it counts, the crypto subreddits.... thats where crypto was BORN, Bitcoin wouldnt be anywhere without reddit..... here we are on steemit which is basically the equivalent of reddit on the blockchain, lets get back to our roots, lets build into reddit, lets get a Reddit Steem TIPPING bot that makes reddit users signup for a steem account!
If we had a steem tip bot, thatd actually be a way for us to syphon users from reddit forever, something steem really does need... because those reddit users are crypto friendly AND many of them already COME with bitcoin, thats a HOT lead.... thats someone who might come into steem and BUY some steem.

I like the idea. I used to always have coinmarketcap open in a tab, or coingecko now. Would be nice to have it on Steemit, one less tab I need open.

How about allowing us to customize which coins and tokens to show, like the Coinmarketcap Watchlist?

That's certainly doable, thanks for the feedback! So I guess you like the feature?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

That's great! Yep, I really like the feature, but as for now I will still have to check my Watchlist on Coinmarketcap every once in a while to see the other stuff that I have invested in. But Steem is my main crypto, so I suppose this will cut down my page impressions on CMC by a lot ;)
That said, great job! I think small updates like this (and previously the Update Log you guys added) are very important when it comes to getting more new users to the Steem blockchain. Steemit.com has not really changed much for a long time, so I think it's a great boost for the community to see that things are still being worked on and improved.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Yeah we definitely want to change that. People don't realize that when a site is growing very rapidly, and the back end database is growing very rapidly, just keeping everything running smoothly requires a lot of changes and improvements. That's why no one else has managed to do what we've done. Launching a site is only the beginning. Scaling it is the hard part. That's especially true when your backend is a blockchain. That's why we put so much effort into MIRA; so that we could ensure a consistent user experience as we scale to the next level through Communities and SMTs. That being said, the work on MIRA is nearly done, so we are really looking forward to getting back into Condenser (steemit.com) development! Thanks again for the great comment!

Yep, it is a nice little addition. Perhaps one day there will be a set of similar tools (especially personal stats) that we can select and customize our pages with. It would be interesting to have it viewable by others also similar to the way we can see another account's feed.

We've considered doing a long list yes.
It just happens to be 3rd by rank right now on CMC. When it falls out of that rank, something else will automatically go in it's place.

That’s a useful feature. Thanks. So...where is it?
Are there plans to integrate things like polls, messaging, and other common features/functions that are currently operating as separate apps? That would go a long way to making Steemit.com the preferred interface going forward and would certainly make it more attractive to people not currently using the Steem blockchain.

We haven't settled on our roadmap yet, so I can't say whether we will or won't do any of those, but speaking for myself I do think that would be a good approach. I think there's consensus within the team that the most scalable way to approach feature additions like those is to make sure that there is a process in place so that the developers of apps can know that if they submit a PR for adding their app to steemit.com, it will be reviewed and either approved or feedback will be given.

Yes, sending messages to other users would be a great feature.
Very interesting would also be a search function to find old own posts (or also seek posts from other users according to different criteria, for example key words).
Talking about old posts: unfortunately I noticed that in some of my posts (especially in articles older than two years) quite some images are not shown anymore. In one of my recent posts I named some examples of old articles with missing images. What is the reason for that? Did it happen during migration process to another database?
And yes, to honor your efforts: I like the "Coin Marketplace"! :)

Thanks for the feedback. There was a minor bug that has been resolved.
As for mobile, the Coin Marketplace by design doesn't currently display on smaller devices (similar to the update log and other sidebar features). We'll likely incorporate these things into a format that is consumable by smaller devices in the future.

I checked my wallet in steemit.com and steemitwallet via desktop. Didn't see it as well. Perhaps this feature has not yet been released and they are just asking now if we will be wanting this feature or not.
I hope @andrarchy can confirm.

Stop all delegation, even utopian-io, dump your Steem and let the market and competent people pick up the scaps.

@steemitblog,
Personally I won't see ETH, BTS and XRP there! For me those are just BS! So better let us select which coins and tokens that we could visible there. But STEEM and SBD should be at top and no option to change them!
Cheers~

A separate team works on the front-end application(s). Adding features to steemit.com (the web application) does not distract from blockchain projects, such as SMTs. These things can both happen concurrently.

Hi @justinw. Oh, I thought it was common knowledge that Steemit wallet UI doesn't display transactions properly. Mainly two things:
Not all transactions in the wallet are shown. It is kinda random. For some, it goes back a few days. For some, it goes back a week or two. For some couple of months. I usually end up going to busy.org to look at older transactions.
In mobile, in my case iPhone, memos are not shown. Again need to go to some other UI like busy.org or steemd.com to see the memo.
I thought that was like that by design. Because this has been like that for at least a year. So I figured since wallet will be separate web app now why not make it display all transaction and also memos on mobile devices.
Thank you, Justin.

@andrarchy - I think that this is a great feature that provides great value. It will be even more impressive if/when we can customize the view to add/take away coins.
Quick question: What does the number under the chart represent?
In the screenshot below, 0.48 is next to the word Steem, but the last value of the chart was $0.45.
Look forward to your response.

Hey, @steemitblog.
After being here a while now and seeing mostly behind the scenes work up until this period of time you've been separating the wallet from the social part of Steemit, I'm okay with an addition of the coin marketplace. I have a large enough monitor I use that I can have multiple windows open at once, so I don't really have to leave Steemit, but for those who are working off a laptop or phone, this will help, I would think.
It's good to see an emphasis on working on Steemit after so much of last year (and perhaps prior) was spent on what seemed to be anything but Steemit. Again, I believe there were small visible changes and perhaps much more going on under the hood, but inevitably us users seem to only appreciate what we can interact with, and that if it's easier to use and makes us more productive.
We can be somewhat of a fickle lot, if I could put it kindly. But even so, we're still here, trying to make a go, and many of us doing that through Steemit. So, we can be patient and acknowledge progress when we see it. Okay, some of us can. :)

"The Front Page of Crypto."
This is the right direction, we don't want to become a place where people just circle jerk each other about Steem and how great it is, we want to become more like Reddit where it's platform used for discussion of any possible topic. That's the behavior we should nurture here.
We've "made it" once people come here for info about anything, not just Steem, and we've truly done it once Steem is very minor topic around here.
