Thanks for the update! I'm still optimistic on Steemit's future, especially with the announcement of HF20 in September and SMTs early next year. The crypto market will eventually recover and continue to become more and more vital in the global economy. In the meantime, it's good to have an outlet for creativity/productivity so that we're not just twiddling our thumbs but participating actively in building the future of blockchain.

Great update, you are a busy witness.

You are not that far from the top 20 witnesses, you got one more vote.

I must check out that show it sounds good.

Thanks :)

Knowledge

Dude, I don't know why you are not higher up on the witness list, to be honest. I guess I don't know what else those others do. What I do know is you seem to always be doing something good for steem (oh, and playing fortnight), so thanks for that!
On the different, I want to click that video but I don't think I could actually watch it happen!!!!!

@freedom uses @pumpkin as a witness voting proxy. @pumpkin is not currently voting for @themarkymark. Most of the top 20 have the @pumpkin vote. There are a few exceptions such as @blocktrades and @clayop.

What is the Blacklist API? I need it!

It is for services using the Steem blockchain to identify bad actors.

Good information you shared, Its a great knowledge updates for the steemians.

good

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ (edited)

So are you associated with @blacklist-a ? Is this the blacklist I'm now on this global blacklist?

No, it is something that was created in the early days of Steemit. It's kind of shrouded in mystery but have some theories.

thanks for good information which helps out in some sort to get into steem

Great job man. Always on top of changes ;)

So who was asleep at the wheel early in the a.m. yesterday? I kept getting these messages off and on for like two hours when I tried to post or vote. I looked up what it meant and it said something to the effect that the signature couldn't be verified because part of the transaction was on one block chain while the other part on another.

A completely different thing:
Why do you look like Richard Castle from the TV series "Castle "?

Thank you very much for sharing Mark, I appreciate it. This is what I was talking about in my previous post. Witnesses who actually cares enough to provide users with updates.

great article and video is nice

End of payouts in SBD, that's great news. I'm hoping that it will be easier to peg now that it's supply is stable. I disagree with SBD being used for payouts. It was just a matter of time before the supply was going to get this high anyway.

Another problem was that people were paying for bid-bot upvotes. That meant the SBD was landing in the hands of those delegating to bots. @freedom has 950k in SBD; if SBD is not pegged he is not selling.

Another thing, 100% payout in Steem Power should be the same as the 50/50 split.

My kids have been watching this guy also. Quite a quirky fella, always leaves you wondering what will he get bitten by next lol.

Wow great update @themarkymark ,glad to be following you and will be looking out for your next DLive curation post,sounds really good I had a spot recently open up for witness so I added you as my 30 th. Keep up the great workπŸ‘ŒπŸ˜ŠβœŒοΈπŸ‘πŸ’•

"Steemit Defense League. There are currently 129 accounts I have had their delegation removed and a few more in the queue for pending removal. "

Sounds about right from what I've seen on Microworkers of people buying accounts. There are several people buying accounts it looks like, but the others are smarter.

As for other things youve mentioned, I noticed the lack of SBD payouts quite quickly, and it's interesting to see how people respond. I know some of the giveaway games I participate in have switched to sending rewards out in Steem rather than SBD, which in some ways is better. The platform seems pretty usable without SBD really.

great work Mark!!! the blacklist API is super ninja... i had no idea you were working such a thing, but awesome...

Appbase branch also gives the community unlimited post/comment editing instead of just 7 days.

Very cool, I have been occasionally frustrated by the inability to do that. How do I access your account creation tool?

I do not have an account creation tool. You can use SteemConnect

my bad, is "Account Creation Fee" a witness thing?

The Steem blockchain has an adjustable parameter (set by witness consensus) on what the new account creation fee should be. It is currently set to 0.100 Steem, which is then multiplied by 30 to come with the pure Steem account creation option (3 Steem currently).

I propose to set it to 0.200 which would set the Steem purchase option to be 6 Steem (closer to $5 target).

theoretically that should result in half as many puppets, trolls and bots right?

Nah, not likely. They manage to find a way.

If you think long term, this is nothing to worry about and if you continue as if the price hasn't and continue to produce quality content and engage with the community to build new relationships, you will come out ahead in the end.

Appbase branch also gives the community unlimited post/comment editing instead of just 7 days.

Great news if not a year or two too late!

Will it also sort out the awful state of tags? It would be nice if somebody could search a tag and get content over 7 days old, or not to be told that there is no such tag just because the content put on there was over a week ago.

SBD is now around $1, I say around $1 not pegged to $1. I believe SBD is still free from its peg and is only around $1 due to the decline in price for Steem. If Steem raises over $1 I believe SBD will follow a ways behind until something is done about the peg.

So I'm guessing the whole 'witness-crashing-SBD-price-to-get-back-to-peg-price' was a complete and utter waste of time, and detrimental to the currency.

Well that's a surprise;

not.

Thanks for the update man, still rootin' for ya :-)

Cg

I am looking forward to be proven wrong in seeing SBD remain at the peg when Steem turns around. I think there are those who prefer pegged currencies for commerce. I have a new app in mind but using Steem Dollars is not my first option for a pegged asset. I plan to support up to five fixed currencies.

I agree SBD should be pegged or it becomes useless, I just don't think it is.

Solid witness update. Thanks @themarkymark

@themarkymark.
Thanks for keeping us abreast with your post as to whats happening in steemit. There is still a lot of value in the blockchain technology and I have full faith in the Steemit blockchain and it is only a matter of time when we will witness consolidation in the price of these currencies and the eventual up move towards the earlier tops made by these currencies.
Till then be patient and start investing for the long term.

@themarkymark Thank you for the update.

Surely steem will be on moon soon. There are so many projects running on steemit and many more to come. Still I don't see any project got sucess like steemit. So I am sure $5 is not far.
