SteemWorld ~ Weekly Support ~ #1

Still standing?


Yes.

Did the recent 'bad' news change anything for the worse regarding to Steem's development?


No.

How will you survive the times of highly manipulated USD prices?


Work as always, post more.

Updates


Account Creator

It is now possible to claim new accounts by paying the account_creation_fee in STEEM (currently 3 STEEM). The paid STEEM will be burned (sent to @null) immediately.

I moved the payment method to the claim form, so that it is possible to claim accounts using STEEM without the need of creating them at the same time. The pending claimed accounts are now being displayed in the actual creation section below, which makes the whole process a bit easier to understand:

When clicking on the Claim Account button, there will pop up a confirmation dialog:

After claiming an account, the pending claimed accounts will be increased by one and it can then be used to create a new Steem account at any time.


SBD Conversions

As we know, SBD to STEEM conversions take 3.5 days to finish and after starting the process it has always been a bit confusing not to be able to see the progress of running conversions. For that reason I added a new overview in the Orderssection:


Preparations for today's coming api.steemit.com update

As some of you may know, there is an important update coming today (2018-12-07 / 23:00 UTC), which will enable routing many common API requests to the new Hivemind services.

I tested SteemWorld with Hivemind through the recent days and made a few changes to my code to ensure that all features will continue to work. Keep in mind that Hivemind is still in alpha state and there might happen unexpected things in the coming days.

As soon as all public endpoints have been updated to use Hivemind, there will no longer be a limit of 100 posts in the posts overview on SteemWorld.

There are exciting times ahead ;)

In the making


  • Finding/Building a trustable open source solution (maybe Keychain) for using private keys on SteemWorld
  • Web service for loading the data in a more efficient way and to enable me to add many cool new features in future
  • Different views / no limit in the posts overview
  • Details for coming rewards (number of posts/comments, maybe a pie chart)
  • Improved coming curation rewards overview
  • RC costs calculation

Sill standing?

Das kann nur jemand fragen, der den @Steemchiller nicht kennt. Der Zeitungen austrägt, wenn es sein muss. Wer jetzt jammert, ist zu weich für den Steem! Sag an, Chiller, kommt das noch auf Deutsch, oder soll der Update–Teil mal schnell übersetzt werden? Mit DeepL geht das doch ganz flott.

Vorschlag

Ganz besonders interessiert bin ich ja an dem Update–Teil der ganzen Serie. Aus nicht ganz uneigennützigem Interesse. Das ist doch faktisch die Beschreibung der gesamten Steemworld und gut für eine komplette Hilfe–Doku. Deutsch und Englisch. Das würde ich für die Steemworld tun. PoW statt Delegation. Ich täte das zusammen stellen, kategorisieren und dir zur Veröffentlichung übergeben. Dann dübelst du es auf den Steem, kassierst die Rewards und ich werde es anschließend im Wiki zu einer einzigen Steemworld–Hilfe kompilieren.

Was meinst du? Die Rewards für dich, den Content fürs Wiki und du baust irgendwann sowieso einen Link zur Hilfe in der Steemworld ein. Deal Chiller?

Aussichten

Vielleicht willst du dann einen SteemWiki–Autoren Account haben. Mit dem kannst du deine Steemworld–Hilfe künftig, nach der Veröffentlichung des Weekly Supports, selbst updaten. Deal? Darf ich mit den alten Weekly Supports eine Hilfe in Englisch bauen? So zur Anschauung, wie es wirkt…

Chill on!

Ich danke dir @afrog, aber das hört sich nach zusätzlicher Arbeit an und davon habe ich bereits mehr als genug. Eine Hilfe-Seite hatte ich auch schon mal angedacht, aber wo ich noch im Aufbau bin und sich Struktur und Layout des Tools noch stark ändern können, halte ich das noch nicht für sinnvoll. Ich werde später wahrscheinlich etwas interaktives direkt im Tool einbauen, vielleicht ein ? Button, über den man dann per Klick zu einzelnen Elementen eine kurze Hilfe angezeigt bekommt. Große Texte lesen die Leute sowieso nicht.

Aber du kannst gerne meine Inhalte in deinem Portal nutzen, wenn du neben der Entwicklung deines Riesenprojekts noch Zeit dafür haben solltest. Wie gesagt, es kann sich alles noch ändern und empfehlen würde ich es zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt nicht unbedingt.

Du weißt ja, ich bin ein Einzelgänger und daran wird sich nichts ändern ;)

Chill on und bau deine Welt!

Danke @Steemchiller. Gerne nehme ich das Angebot an und ernenne dich deswegen zum SteemWiki–Autoren.
Riesenprojekte geht man Schritt für Schritt. Der Weg ist das Ziel. Die Chiller–Masche halt. Du kennst das ja. Ich wollte das eigentlich nicht tun. Das hat hoffentlich jeder gemerkt. Ich war in Rente. Ey, wir chillen!

Great job 👍

Really nice to see you staying on top of all the steemit api change stuff. I am not a programmer but it is evident you will not be caught behind the power curve of lack of testing. It is nice to read that you have been testing the hivemind system, and that you are letting us know that there may be small glitches in the system till it all gets settled out. Thank you for your work and your system, I really do find it a valuable tool.

Honoured to support your work for all of us in the @Steemit community.
Thank you. @SteemChiller

Keep up the great work! Is there any way to keep track of the medium price of STEEM being used for the conversion in progress? Would be a great addition for those of us that become anxious waiting to see the result. Also, maybe a calculator that demonstrates the profitability of the conversion based on the median price of STEEM from the prior 3.5 days? Just thoughts of tools that would be great! Thanks!

That's a good question. I will take a look into the Steem source in the coming days. I guess it just depends on the median price at execution time (exactly after 3.5 days).

I like the idea! Will think about implementing something like that in the conversion dialog ;)

Das würde mich auch interessieren! Obwohl auch dies eine wichtige Regel des steem-Ökosystems ist, muss man offensichtlich in den Sourcen graben, um sie zu finden.

Always enjoy reading the “latest, greatest” from you @steemchiller. Love this …

”How will you survive the times of highly manipulated USD prices?”

”Work as always, post more.”

… as that is what I typically do. Face difficulties with resolve to persevere and work through them … The latest reinforcement, you’re my “kinda guy” … 👍

As a “contrarian,” I have significantly increased my Steem stake over the last few weeks. Even as this is written (the lowest overall market since I began to invest into this asset class in Aug 2017), looks like there will be plenty of opportunity for more “contrarian” transactions, if anyone is so inclined …

”As we know, SBD to STEEM conversions take 3.5 days to finish and after starting the process it has always been a bit confusing not to be able to see the progress of running conversions.”

Tried this feature of our Steem blockchain recently and anything you can do to help “the masses” (like me … 😉) will be much appreciated. Probably shouldn’t go as far as recommending when or when not to use the feature, as you most likely want no part of giving anyone “financial advice” that could come back to trouble you. However, anything you can do to help us make well-informed decisions would be great.

No … I don’t have any ideas on precisely how to do that, but thought I would at least “plant the seed” in the event you or others might.

Keep up the great work @steemchiller. Hopefully the teams at the core of keeping the blockchain running will not stumble in the face of the recent hardships. And we’ll all “survive” to see a better tomorrow!

When I asked whether you could help make it possible for me to go back to see all my post if I want, you answered that it will take a few months, as you must transfer all the data to your own...well, something like that, or so I understood it.

What is important is that now you are telling us we are getting to that point and I am impressed that you have already managed it.

Congrats and thank you

Hey @arthur.grafo. Take a peep around this link next to see if it can be of any help to you mate.

Cheers!! :)

Steemworld.org is the best app on Steem blockchain. I use is every time to get information about my account and other steem related activities.
I have transferred some basic attention tokens to steemworld through brave browser. I hope it will help a little dear @steemchiller.

Excellent work, as always! I am happy to see you are continuing forward, in spite of recent supposedly negative announcements from "the top." Hopefully Steemit, Inc.'s cutbacks will eventually result in more opportunities for those doing independent works, such as yourself.
