c0ff33 vlog 6th March 2020 - What an exciting week!

in DTube5 years ago (edited)


Well here it is, another vlog and look at that - I even managed to squeeze a hair cut in this week. Last weekend was relatively quiet for me, given it was absolutely freezing in the UK I decided to bravely avoid doing any more painting at work - seeing as we don't have the heating running at weekends. I got plenty done at home though and fitted in a Sunday afternoon visit to my Dad.

Monday started off with it's usual hectic mix of weekend orders, enquiries, questions about equipment from customers - oh and a brand new set of Top twenty Witnesses on the Steem Blockchain.

What - I didn't see that one coming. So a brand new set of Witnesses forked the blockchain to a new version that released Steemit Inc's funds. And as they were all controlled by one person, centralised the Steem Blockchain at the same time. All enabled by exchanges using users Steem that should remain liquid so they can access it when they like, but now the can't because it's powered up and will take an extended period of time to power down.

The plan was to issue a new hard fork allowing 1 day power downs so the exchanges could get their funds back, but the Steem community in what has to be the greatest single coming together of a diverse spread of people - refused to be bullied into submission and rallied together to vote for our existing Witnesses. It seems like from Tuesday nearly every single account the Steem Blockchain has ever had suddenly found the Witness vote page and started using it - votes were flying for days and we have right now 11 of our Witnesses at the top.

How it will progress now is anybody's guess, there is still a long way to go but this has really proven how much a passionate community can come together, and also the dedication for Steem our top Witnesses truly have.

The greatest challenge we face on Steem blockchain is getting our posts seen, I have always believed the simplest and best value way of doing this is by commenting on the blog posts of others, the more you engage people and interact with them the greater the chance they will visit your own blog and return the favour. Other then spending all my free time commenting on Steem blockchain posts, I also distribute coffee roasting machines and also espresso coffee machines and roast my own Speciality Coffee Range. being one of the premium coffee suppliers Yorkshire including a wide range of filter coffee sachets. Finally I have a dedicated website to my Artisan small batch roasted coffee featuring roast and post packs and super easy coffee subscriptions

Thanks @c0ff33a the whole cryptoverse are watching us.

And that is a good thing! I mean look at how Steem is holding value when everything else is dropping like a stone!

It's been like watching election results that have taken more than a week, now, to tabulate. Lot's of late nights. 😎

And it’s still dragging on too. If I am entirely honest there have been mistakes on all sides, it’s a very unusual situation and I think the real cause is nobody picked up on ned’s exit strategy - getting the maximum from Steemit Inc when sold by bundling it’s staked tokens into the deal.

This is one big mess brother, and i dont see anything good coming from Tron

You don’t have to look very far to see some of the shady deals and lawsuits that follow it. But we are in a good stalemate right now, there is still a lot to play for but at least Steem value is still strong!

Money can’t buy everything...... glad there are a great bunch of people in the know to keep this platform the right way.
