You might have noticed already that Steemit is out of sync and is showing data from 2 weeks ago.
While I'm not 100% sure on what's going on - my best guess is:
Since api.steemit.com (the server where Steemit is getting all your data from) is using a caching layer called Jussi to increase the speed and scalability of Steemit.com - the chance is high that this layer is currently undergoing a resync.
Now the interesting thing here is: the new (aka created) category is still showing up-to-date posts from the present - but those are still displayed as 13 days ago.

Whether this is wanted or forced through an error - I can't say.
But for now ...

Enjoy the ride to the past.
However - if you want to go back to the present: use https://steemitstage.com

A quiet day for Smartsteem.
How about using your own service and 'paying yourself twice'.....

What's your problem? Nobody is using the bid-bot when the main node is down and all delegators are getting paid out. Whether I buy a share of the vote or someone else does.
Also - this message is important for a lot of people who have no clue what's going on. So how about you go back to your little blog and let me do my thing instead of wasting my time with your bullying.
1.) Smartsteem is currently paying out delegators - proof: https://www.steemblockexplorer.com/@smartsteem
This takes forever because we have to use a slow backup node.
I had to manually vote because otherwise the credit to delegators would cause problems with the payout - double spending if you know what that means.
Also - I can't simply transfer it because the backup node is a lot slower when processing blocks than api.steemit so it would have never reached the current blocks - including my transfer in time.
I also decided to manually vote because that way I'm giving smartsteem more time to payout delegators before the next bid-round starts, which would have been too early. (payouts wouldn't have been finished by then)
2.) Smartsteem votes on posts that are at least 30 minutes old so everyone can calculate accordingly.
I voted on around 5 minutes - but I will also pay more for that same amount since I receive more author rewards.
You want to expose mistakes I made? I didn't - try again.

I don't see in your wallet where you 'bought a share'?
And I thought SmartSteem only voted on posts older than 30 minutes?

one mistake you make is profiting off other people's costly nodes, instead of using your self voting to pay for one for your load intensive "service".
More and more on these posts, you are under fire. Maybe you should consider a career change?

The Steem reward pool is a community resource. If people highlight that what you're doing with it seems greedy, it's not bullying.

Thanks @therealwolf for the update/notice. I was wondering why I'm seeing those. We've had hiccups of Steemit being down and literally freaked out. This is less disturbing than steemconnect saying "Account does not exist" when logging in.
So... I also have steemitdev link. In IT, we have dev/qa/staging and prod... is steemitdev the first environment and steemitstage right before steemit prod?

I'm able to use steemitstage to see the latest stuff, but obviously not much activity. That API is a weak link in making steemit decentralised.

Steem is decentralised - it's not perfect but you are able to access the blockchain even if api.steemit.com is down.
