I assume most of you are aware that tomorrow there will be hard fork of the Steem blockchain and a new chain will be formed called Hive. If you want to learn more you can follow @hiveio where announcements are made (it is censored on steemit, so please use another front-end). The Steemitworldmap team has decided to migrate to Hive chain as we support decentralization, and believe it is the chain the community wants.
Of course, this comes with a bit of work from our side and some questions from and for all of you travelers out there. We'll also have a new logo. Here is a first draft of our new mascot (not the final version)! 😄
What changes for you as a traveler?
- From the moment the map migrates to Hive, all curation and Travel Digests will be exclusively on Hive. Posts on the Steem blockchain will not be curated.
- From the moment the map migrates to Hive, you will no longer be able to pin your posts to the map if you are using the Steem blockchain
- From the moment the map migrates to Hive, Steemitworldmap.com will be sunsetted (it may stay up a while as a redirect to our new domain will be announced soon)
- When pinning your travel posts to the map, please make sure that you add the generated code snippet to your posts. You can use any of the Hive front ends you like.
What stays the same?
Everything really (map, curation, digest,...), just on a new chain, with a new name and a bit of rebranding!
Will my old posts still be pinned to the map?
Yes, of course! They will redirect to a front-end that runs on HIVE though.
Is there an ETA?
- For the Hive chain: 10 AM EST, 20th of March
- For the migration of the map: as soon as possible after Hive is live (we assume it should not take more than 3 days, and most likely will be ready in a few hours).
Haveyoubeenhere
For users of our mobile app Haveyoubeenhere the migration might take a bit longer (assumption is two weeks). It is expected that there will be a version of Steemconnect ready for Hive as well, so we will have to implement this, test this and go through the update process of both the Google Play Store and Apple AppStore.
What do you guys think?
We would really like to hear the thoughts of the travel community on the matter. At the end of the day, we run this project for you! So please let us know in the comments if you have any questions, doubts, thoughts or anything else you would like to share. We are looking forward to this new chapter and hope you do too!
Following @hiveio on steemit wont work, the account has been censored. People will have to use a different front end.

As a long time user I am so happy to hear you are moving to Hive and that I will be able to keep my pinned map.
If you are making any changes to the Website, I would love to see the option of seeing the map in satellite view return. It is so much easier to pin exact location.
Wishing you success in our new home and thank you for providing one of my favourite Dapps.

Oh my god, I think you asked for this like two years ago and I completely forgot about it somehow! Satellite view should be pretty easy to add actually, so I will check if I can add it on the new map!
Already looking forward to being there, and the same to you! Thank you for the kind words!
EDIT: I remembered again why I didn't add it in again, I am looking a solution though! No, promises though!

Thanks for your clear stance on where you will be ending up.
I use travelfeed for my posts but haven't had a chance to catch up with them yet but when I post from there in the past, it automatically adds a post to steemitworldmap. Will that still be the case?
It looks like slowly but surely, my decision is being made for me by all the dapps I use 😂

I have no clue yet what Travelfeed will decide to do with their front-end. If they will run Travelfeed on Hive, that will still be the case. If they decide to only run Travelfeed on Steem, it will not be the case! Hope that clears it up,and of course I hope to see Travelfeed on Hive too! 😄

Thanks a lot for getting back to me and it would be great for the two best travel related dapps working together! I'll see if I can probe them 😁

I've just got back to Steemit after another year of travelling, and looks like my travels are to continue. 99% of my friends and dapps are Hiveward bound, so I'll be seeing you all over there soon ...

I have been here on steem for well over 2 years. But this is for the first time ever that I hear about your service! So I'll explore #hiveworldmap after the migration.
