to do this because you really like Steempeak and want to is one thing.
to do this because TRON owns Steemit is nonsense. Unless there is a hardfork there is no need for anyone to change what they like doing.
The Steempeak people do some good stuff and will continue to.
The Steemit team also do good stuf and will continue to do so. They have come out that they are 100% pro-Steem and will continue to be. For the response to be ... that's nice.. screw you .. we're supporting all the other parts of Steem. That's insane.
They remain part of the Steem family.
As for not clicking Steemit links, it's okay for you to get the SEO benefits that they have developed and the exposure that those on Steemit.com bring but don't support them. More nonsense.
I do agree with a lot of what you said. I don't think the Tron buy outbis bad. But I don't feel they automatically deserve our trust or suppport. They can earn it.
The true power of steem is in decentralization and steemit has had too much authority around here for too long.
Selling to Tron was a line for some people and a wake up call for others. I understand people who don't mind or don't worry. I'm not particularly worried myself.
You have a good point about this being and pandering to knee-jerk reactions.
I can always set it back or embrace steemit again. The main idea is to show people how it is done and the options. My writing style is just the issue.
For the longest time I linked steemit because it was most popular. People know it. However, I want to promote Steem as more than steemit now. In my mind steemit is just the most popular dapp. But the d in their dapp is more questionable than the d in other dapps.
I usually have it open when I have my pc on, but for mobile, it is still a little cumbersome.
You are right about open source. He was planning on opening more when his proposal was being funded. I remember some controversy between him and other developers because he was getting funded to develop something that wasn't yet fully opensource. It is probably the wrong word to use this term, but the main point is he doesn't collect private information and that has been confirmed.
SteemWorld.org ever received any significant funding because large stakeholders increased the required support in SPS as soon as it qualified. I think it revealed the corrupt nature of whale/witness/developer actors only supporting their friend's pet projects, some of them questionable, and running off a legitimately good programmer who donated a lot of time to the chain by not funding a great tool.
I'm not sure of the full story. He isn't currently asking the community for support from what I've noticed. Maybe he is taking a break or workimg on something else.
In anycase, a lot of end users like it and the more technically inclined know this. It's a beautiful website!
Hahaha, check the amount of "e"s in the inset name as well !!!
I really appreciate this post, as even as long as I've been here ( haha, under a rock) now I know more and will be using this info;
Also, Steemworld.org, Steempeak.com and Keychain are the most powerful tools we have here for way more than a couple of purposes, I use everyone of these every day.
Thanks @abitcoinskeptic!!!
E is a very useful letter. Actually, I spent some time thinking about the title.
There are some things on Steem people never think about. learning more only increases my fascination with it.
I'm not sure if I mentioned keychain. It is really great, often the second password I enter on my PC after hitting power (OS login is 1st) and I can't wait to see how much better it gets too, as its proposal is currently recieving funding.
I love Keychain. I've used Steemworld for awhile now and Steempeak is where I do almost all my Steem work, thanks to their templates and other features. (I think I'm on the @anyx node too after some glitch or other, but I'd have to look again.)
I hadn't thought about the recovery account thing, so I really appreciate this - and @jamerussell for telling me about this article.
I'm happy with Steempeak, and their update just a few hours ago was really great.
Glad you like my post. The recovery thing is a valuable feature of Steem that doesn't exist on many other blockchains (however for other blog networks or social media it's possible). It still can't help you if you lose your password, but at least it means keeping your password secure isn't a do or die thing.
Glad it helps. The more people do it the better. Next step is to kindly ask Steemit to delete the personal information they have collected when I signed up, although I am unsure how best to proceed.
@anonsteem is run by @someguy123. He is currently the 3rd place witness and he resteemed some stuff 2 days ago which means he is very active.
He meets my category of people I can trust without really knowing. If you personally know someone who uses Steem a lot, you can just set each other as recovery to be safest. In anycase, just make sure you have your owner/master password written down somewhere safe and private and if you lose account access, start trying to recover it back immediately.
While I expect @justinsunsteemit to be every bit as dedicated to Steem's success as anyone you've named here, I think much of this information is well overdue, and hope many read it and take necessary action to better secure their accounts, and Steem.
Vote for witnesses people! If it's hard proxy someone you have confidence in.
Right, I'm leaning on the side of positivity, that he did us a solid and it will lead to good things. In the meantime I'll keep up with developments on Steemit.
It is tough to choose a proxy, I imagine if any witness sells out we will learn in a hurry.
Occasionally steem goes months between releasing uodates. We also have the steem.dao and the hardcore community.
I'm gambling on increased decentralization and I always have been. If Ibwant my decisions made more me I will hang out on Facebook or soemthing else.
Steemit is becoming less relevant. Slowly and surely....as develipment permits. This is good for Steem. Let's all help make this happen and be ready =)
I set my site to Steem Peak (best site to access Steem) and my node to @anyx (I also tossed him a witness vote). Actually, I'm not sure why I'm using his node, it was first alphabetically.
I'll give you a good reason. When this particular node is down or has issues literally half of the Steem network is suffering. Almost nothing works properly.
Nice details and really helpful for those who had no idea how to do it
Thanks for clarification.
Background stuff is so important. When one site goes out, I usually check another, then I guess it is a node problem.
In anycase, I'm glad his proposal is funded and I notice these 'boring' developer proposal usually get quickly funded which tells me they are important even if I don't know why.

The idea of De-Steemit is knee-jerk reaction.

Yes, let's trust the word of this person https://cointelegraph.com/news/tron-community-in-uproar-as-genesis-coins-used-in-super-reps-vote
Very useful post.
One edit needed:
should be SteemWorld.org
Yep!
Glad you find it useful. Recovery update is very important if you got an account made from a no longer active account.
Well-noted about Steemworld.org, Thanks for the correction.
It is probably the tool I use most. I might not be logged in to Steem...yet steemworld is always there running on a tab. Always.
PS. I don't think his code is completely open sourced. Just saying...

I try to send him a bit of STEEM each week or two.
That's a good idea, I kinda regret not setting him beneficiary, I'll send him a couple SBD now to cheer him up!
I agree and supported his SPS proposal but I thought it was terrible how the community treated him.

!ENGAGE 20
@preparedwombat you have received
20 ENGAGEfrom @acidyo!View and trade the tokens on Steem Engine.
Awesome! Very helpful! Thanks a lot!
Glad it helps. The more people do it the better. Next step is to kindly ask Steemit to delete the personal information they have collected when I signed up, although I am unsure how best to proceed.
By the way, my recovery account is @anonsteem. Is this bad? Not very active, so I better should replace him?
@anonsteem is run by @someguy123. He is currently the 3rd place witness and he resteemed some stuff 2 days ago which means he is very active.

Thanks so much!
OK, apparently active :) thanks for letting me know @someguy123
So no need to replace!
Yup, still active :)
@anonsteem is still primarily managed by me (owned by @privex for legal reasons though, as per the footer)
While I expect @justinsunsteemit to be every bit as dedicated to Steem's success as anyone you've named here, I think much of this information is well overdue, and hope many read it and take necessary action to better secure their accounts, and Steem.

Well, I found it easier to find one Steemer I had confidence in than 30.
What if your recovery account dies in a car accident? Steemit is a company after all?
Send your condolences and update your recovery account?
I didn't think about that. Sounds good.
Thanks.
Steempeak i have to go and use it more
It really is improving functionality quickly. I like the modern stylish look, too.
Ok... Once Steemit stops working on Steem, how many people will keep using Steem? 1000? 100?
What is the value of something used by 1000 people worldwide?
Zero, 0.
Occasionally steem goes months between releasing uodates. We also have the steem.dao and the hardcore community.
I'm gambling on increased decentralization and I always have been. If Ibwant my decisions made more me I will hang out on Facebook or soemthing else.

Such a useful guide. This is something so many users would never think to do. So thanks for the reminder.
Glad you found it helpful. Some of it may feel symbolic, but that is largely the point.
Symbology is like a visual massage.
great job dude!
