Steemit Works!
Hurrah! Today steemit.com seems to be working like a charm. We were advised previously by @steemitblog that the problems we were all experiencing were being worked on - here
It looks like those fixes came good.
There were a lot of complaints and posts saying that Steemit was broken and we were all doomed.
Now I can understand where people were coming from but and a big but... There were other options out there.
Busy.org
This is a polished third party interface to steemit. It looks good on mobile and it's fast and responsive. Even better, have you heard about their little bonus if you post using their interface? Well worth checking out.
Or
Steemitstage.com
This is one that I have used almost exclusively over the last few days when the problems in steemit.com seemed to intensify. It is Steemit in all but name.
Steemitstage is definitely the one to use if you like Steemit looking like the Steemit you know and love.
Important! If you use a third party application you should always use your posting key only
So there were options to be used. This is what I and others did to carry on steeming as they say.
Let's all congratulate the Steemit development team for getting things back on track and try to dispel some of the negativity that has been floating about of late.
After all.
You are right.
It's great to see these advancments. I was having trouble upvoting and even posting. The system would time-out; however, that issue seems to be resolved.
Keep up the great work Steemit!
upvoted and resteemed
I upvote all comments and replies on all of my posts to help my fellow Steemians earn Steemit rewards and gain more voting power. Consider doing the same to help other Steemians.
It is great indeed.
I already upvote all replies on my posts and have been doing so for over a year :0)
That's great - thanks - yes, more people need to learn about the importance of upvoting comments and replies.
They do, although there is a certain tide of opinion that says voting for your own comments with 100% VP is a little opportunistic and perhaps not in keeping with the sentiments you express?
Thanks for the comment.
Interesting. I haven't seen or heard anything like that.
What I am talking about is that people should be upvoting all comments made by others. I do that all the time. I think all of the comments to this article should be upvoted as it helps the people commenting. I'm correct, right?
that said, if I were running in an election, wouldn't you vote for your self? It doesn't seem wrong??
If isn't "allowed" why does steemit allow one to upvote their own comments etc.?
Where do you see stats like you are showing there? You obviously know more about this than I do.
thanks again for your comment
People really have to decide for themselves if they want to vote for their own post/comments or not. Some people think it's OK, other think that it is not. You just got to do what feels right for yourself, but beware of some people that flag "selfvoters". I'm not sure if people are still actively flagging anything, but I remember people complaining about this a few weeks back. Anyway, those stats are from http://steemnow.com/
Thanks - I appreciate the input.
What is "flagging?" I haven't heard the term previously.
It is kind of like a downvote, and remove rewards from the post/comment. So before the payout anyone can spend their Voting Power to reduce the reward of posts or comments, effectively taking away their earned reward. Note that this only works before payout. Most people don't really use flag at all, but some do, especially when there is drama involved.
You will see next to the comments on the top right a little flag icon. It subtracts the same value as your upvote would. If someone of a higher reputation flags you it also affects your reputation score.
Oh they are still about. None mind an element of self votery too much but done people consistently vote up all their own comments and those are the ones that invariably get flagged too buggery as it were.
Nobody said it wasn't allowed. It is allowed but if you were voting for yourself in an election you would vote once yes?
When you vote multiple times on yourself for a monetary reward it just looks greedy and undermines the message you are trying to send about helping others.
If the one who is helping others helps himself more then is he really interested in helping others one might wonder.
Steemstats or steemnow will show you this kind of info.
And as I stated before I do upvote all comments... unless spammy or worthless as in "nice post".
You may have missed the chat on how people perceive this add your have not been here as long as me. It certainly does colour opinion though.
But it's your choice, I am not maligning you by stating this.
Thanks @meesterboom.
Great learning more about this great platform and community. I'm taking offence, don't worry about that.
I'm only wanting to learn and know more so to increase my voting power to help others. But of course, hopefully by helping others, we will also help ourselves over time.
I've provided, I think a great deal of good information through my many posts. My overall voting "power" hasn't increased as I would hope it would have. I'm not sure what that's about. But stilling posting away and upvoting others as much as I can.
I'm going to follow you to hopefully learn more as well.
thanks again for your comments and interest.
Your voting power increases relative to the amount of steem power you have so as you gain in that your VP will increase. As long as you continue to post quality content this will increase.

good thing to know now that I'm off from some work.
We can all get right back to it!
hmm... don't think it's stable yet. still got the transaction error.
luckily i ensure it's on the blog and didn't report.
Did you? Dash it, I still haven't had anything. I wonder if the changes are propagating through the network slowly?
Hell yes, This is Steemit, and it rocks! And yes indeed, it does seem to be working again :) Awesome post, definitely getting the resteem ;)

That really sucked for a while... I was using busy.org but really I'd rather use Steemit cuz it's where I started. :-)
It's good to stick with what you started on! :0)
Thank you for your reply! :-)
Wishing you happiness, smiles, sweet dreams and sunshine! :-)

It is easier to sit back and complain than to try and find a solution. Thanks for sharing the info. Perhaps now folks will quit complaining and get back to regular posting...
Regular posting, that's what we want to see!
