RE: ⏸️ #proposal-89: [Paused] Steemit - The Social Media Blockchain for Photographers
There aren't many sincere developers on steem, unfortunately and it is sad to see that the few good left consider themselves as competitors. Probably and hopefully just some unhealthy competitions here, I'd like to believe that and not dark motives and agenda.
If I have to summarize - there are two types of developers here - those who do it to attract more votes and them milk and sell everything (some of them post several times a day and they don't pay attention to bugs reported long ago)
For instance, I reported in their discord server a bug on botto where several votes are caster per day on the same account while the setting is "1". Guess... not fixed yet. Another example - I saw someone report an issue with SteemKeychain at least a month ago, it's when trading SBD/STEEM. Not fixed either.
Then there are those developers who really care and hold STEEM and support other people, not just there own projects and account. I can name you and other 5-6 developers and if you leave steem, I'd instantly power down all as the others aren't "sincere" developers , lol, not sure that's the right word though.
So long story short, keep up the great work and I'm here if you need a helping hand!
Thank you - I appreciate the support and whilst "sincere" probably isn't the right word, I don't know what word is and it fits well so let's go with it 🙂
I couldn't agree more. If anything, it should be the opposite.
I've fixed countless bugs that this user has raised in GitHub - even ridiculously simple ones that with 5 minutes of effort, he could have fixed himself. So why didn't he? He spent longer writing the bug than it would've taken to fix it. Presumably, because he wouldn't benefit. He wouldn't get paid. I'm so bitter and angry... can you tell? I doubt that I'll ever forget this and his efforts to prevent my proposal from happening. I don't even know how this would benefit him or anybody else... I can only see how it harms everybody else.
I have no doubt that his efforts aren't over - I see from his post yesterday that he's still trying. So I haven't quit either. Not yet. Because as you say:
And I can confidently say, that you're not alone. (That sounds arrogant. Should I delete it? I don't want it to sound arrogant.)
I can feel your frustration.
What people do here on the chain is just mirroring the behaviour from RL. The humanity could've been much more developed if not all those wars that put us centuries back. Healthy competition is ok but this all doesn't sound healthy, as I see it from my point of view. Of course, I don't know all the history and details ;)
Yes - Real Life has a lot to answer for!
No... and I think that I missed something somewhere along the line too!
The pause was short lived though I won't get complacent about securing even more votes!
I’ve thought of a new approach for proposal votes so that I don’t have to keep contacting people - would you consider setting me as your witness proxy? Good plan? Not good plan?
I'd say, I'd pass witness proxy if I go inactive or very low active for a longer period of time. I'd like to have (the feeling that I have) some control over which witness I support :)
Not that my SP is that big to affect any major decision but I'd like to think my votes matter :)))
I am quite sure which one you won't support but if there is any you'd like me to give a vote, I think I have a few votes left ;)
Thank you, I hope you see my point!
That's good. A lot of people have little interest in this part of the platform so it's nice to hear that you do.
They do. They matter much more than a lot of people appreciate.
I essentially lost 4m votes last week - 2m removed from mine and 2m added to the one below. My proposal's not only managed to get these back, but more - moving above another proposal that it was previously behind. It's remarkable how quickly the 5k - 10k votes stack up.
If you haven't voted for moecki, he definitely deserves a vote. You probably know all of the other main players already. xpilar is always very helpful and since he's ranked #20, he's most at risk of dropping out (there's a big difference in rewards between #20 and #21!)
I definitely see your point, understand it and entirely agree with it 🙂
Thank you for the support and those suggestions, I had those two already approved.
moecki is a wonderful guy, he helps me with dev stuff (not my main goal and vision for the life but I like to experiment occasionally :)))
No plans to become a witness yourself?
Ah, of course you’ll know moecki, I really want to see him higher!
I might set up a node if server prices fall dramatically but it’s too expensive at the moment. I don’t think Steem’s desperate for witnesses at the moment given who’s not in the Top 20. Maybe one day but not today 😊
