Looks like it's friday again! Where the heck did that week go?! I know for myself most of it was spent with my nose stuck in PHP code and in "debug hel"l as work on streemit.online continued. Getting really excited for this project as well over 100 hours this week was spent working on the GUI as well as getting the back end stuff running. Really pleased to announce that the site is nearly ready for launch.
Streemit.online functions working right now:
Streeming
(Picture of the broadcasting side of the client - excuse my wild hair!)
The site's streeming functionality is up and running currently. Feel free to come create a streemer account and check it out for yourself. Working on getting a different default streeming client going that is more iOS and Andriod friendly (maybe looking into a app for this) as the current streeming client isn't exactly the nicest nor best supported. A HTML5 replacement is currently under R&D but an estimated time of when it will be done I can't exactly say for sure.- Tipping & Transfers
A big part of Steemit and Streemit is the upvotes! While the streemit platform isn't yet directly hooked in to the blockchain yet allowing "cost-less" votes it is something that is being looked into for future feasability. With that being said you can still SBD or STEEM to the site for on-site Steem Dollars that you can use to tip your favourite streemers! Note you can also tip folks while they are offline via their streem page.. :)
You can now transfer between accounts on streemit easily! A wallet page similar to steemit will soon be built allowing for easy transfers within the streemit site and to other STEEM accounts. Eventually the hope is to build right on top of the STEEM blockchain but for now this will serve the purpose to move funds to and from accounts while their SBD is on site.
- Deposits (under maintenance on coinpayments end)
Deposits on the site are up and working as soon as coinpayments finishes maintenance on the STEEM wallet. Deposits are taking 5-30 minutes to be credited to accounts currently and I'm looking into the cause of this. In the near future we'll likely be switching away from the coinpayments deposit gateway in favour of our own faster deposit system but for the time being we'll still be processing our deposits through them. - Picture Uploads & Hosting
As an added bonus to streemit VIP users we're allowing picture uploading and hosting! Currently this function is working although some modifications to the GUI are planned in order to make picture uploading and linking far easier.
Streemit.online functions still being coded:
- SBD Withdrawal System Automation
A large chunk of the past 2 days have been spent plunking away on the PHP code to allow streemit to communicate with cli_wallet in order to process withdrawal requests. I'm just about there I think and hopefully will have withdrawals fully automated in the next few days. Currently you can still withdraw your SBD on site but I process them all manually. If anyone happens to have a nice chunk of PHP code they are using to send the http-rpc cli_wallet transfer commands securely and are willing to pass it along for my own research / usage please do! would be greatly appreciated.
Other News
In other news it appears that coinpayments.net is currently working on the STEEM wallet and not accepting the coins on site. I'll be shooting an email off to their administrator Mr.Data here shortly to see what the status of maintenance is and if I can lend a hand in helping him get the systems back up and running.

I like the streemit idea. You should have an up vote button that is preloaded with a set amount of funds, like a one click tip button. It will encourage more tipping if it's less work.

Right now the button on the streeming client is set up to allow tips between $0.01 to $100.00 SBD.
I do like your idea though. Will look into seeing if I can implement such a feature. :)

Sounds like you already have it set up like I envisioned. Just type in the set amount to send every time you upvote. It's exciting to see your creation will be built on top of steemit.

Great work. I haven't had a chance to check it out yet but hope to do so soon.

It's running but still pretty rough around the edges. Trying to get all the systems working 100% then will go on to fix more of the GUI quirks and design stuff that still needs to be done. Tons of hours put into it and still a bunch more before it's "perfect" but I'm excited and have high hopes for the service in the future. :)

No time to be exhausted! I'm only one man developing a number of projects and sleep is a rare and prized time these days for sure..
Ole Tesla used to sleep ~2 hours a day. I have to figure out how he adopted that rhythm and try and replicate it to get my productivity 1000% :D

I think he was just genetically gifted with that ability. For a normal person you can't really do that unless you want to risk your health. Be careful not to overdo it. Nothing is worth ruining your health over - I didn't heed that advice and now I regret it.
