RE: Performance and Scalability Updates
Thank you very much for this update! I'm happy to see you're all working so hard on improvements and I do feel the site is slowly coming out of the the troubles we've had these past few weeks. I couldn't be happier to have such a dedicated team working on keeping this awesome place up and running!
About the communication. I completely understand you can't keep us up to date about all the things that are going on. I think many of us don't really need to know many details to feel at ease. Even a small notification like "We know we are experiencing problems and we're working hard on fixing them." will be enough for most. The biggest issue I think is that most of us aren't really sure where to get this tiny bit of reassurance. To be honest, I received a link to this post, otherwise I probably would have missed this update aswell.
I would love to see a little 'News flash' link in the top-right menu (you know, with the Welcome, FAQ, Currency Market, etc.)
It could contain tiny updates like "Made a few fixes to the site", "Got a new server running", "Updated the code", "Nice weather, huh?" well... anything really to show a sign of life. I think regular tiny updates like that would calm people's nerves a lot and would stop the complaining about communication. Everyone will know where to go for info and everyone can see a sign of life every week or so.
Comment's long enough now! Thanks for all your hard work! :D
Thanks for the feedback! I think that's a great idea!

I'm glad you like the idea. I really hope we'll see something like this in place eventually. Just one clear spot for people to go to for some site updates :-)
Absolutely a great idea. We need this, a kind of notice board. Something others and myself and also you are asking for. I certainly hope we will get this soon.
Thank you. Yes, I hope we'll get something like this soon. We just need a clear place to get our information :-)
Truthfully, 99% of this is over the average layperson's head.
I'm really thankful for posts from fellow-Steemians (@lexiconical comes to mind) who are quick to offer a simpler explanation for informative posts such as this.
Today, I've noticed that my replies are duplicating, with an illusion that it's in the perpetual loop.
Btw, without proof, I wonder if Steemit is under another attack. Today, I powered up using blocktrades, and last check over four hours ago, continue to wait for the coins to post in the SP account.
At least, we can be encouraged that the developers are working hard behind the scenes. I can't imagine what running something this large and growing must be like.
Peace.
