SteemWorld ~ Weekly Support ~ #1
What a week
I think the same header as for last week fits to this one too. The phase of capitulation might soon be reached. The market feels dead, the number of BTC sellers is reaching moons and many short time investors were hit by a hard bear punch. What a wonderful day this is, I tell you. All the weak hands have been cleared and we now have the possibility to buy STEEM for under a dollar.
What could be better than that? Never forget: One STEEM is still one STEEM no matter how deep the journey will take us. It's the last test and it's testing all of us to the fullest. I won't let me bring down by these temporary market moves and to be honest, I'm glad that it happened exactly how it went. Markets need to cool down after a huge rally to be able to reach new highs. As long as there is SP in my account I can pay part of my bills with temporary Power Downs.
There is no better blockchain than Steem and after reading the post about the upcoming Hardfork 20 I'm even more impressed than ever before. Steemit and all the other involved freaks out there are doing a great job! I could never understand why people call them 'stinc' and at the same time use their products every day. Many don't have any clue about what exactly is happening in background and tend to jump on trains of the dumb masses without knowing the real destination.
What a positive impression their childish behaviour may leave to external investors. Please come to Steemit. I don't like it, but I'm always here to talk badly about genius developers and the team. The front-end is by far not all what they are working on and maybe the decision at the beginning to use ReactJS for building a social media site plays an essential role too...
I hope that we all can work together more and we will concentrate on the good things, the things that lead us to spend our time here daily. Thank you for all the votes and comments which I've received in my last post! I'm no longer able to vote each of them as I normally do because my VP would go to zero, guys :) If I should have missed a question and you didn't receive an answer from me, please try again in this one.
I wish you all a wonderful week!
Updates
I'm still in the process of optimizing my code and I'm glad that the page is now loading three to four times faster already. I hope that I will soon find some time to tweak it for mobile devices and for implementing a responsive design for phones and small tablets.
Performance
A few new settings for improving the performance are already there but I need to change some more things, so that no more lagging will occur on older machines.
Security
As I'm really paranoid regarding security on the internet, I've added an image filter for images that are coming from insecure domains. Sources with tracking parameters will be converted before they are being added to the page document ( 'image1.jpg?param=123&tid=xyz' becomes 'image1.jpg' ). I hope other front-ends will do the same, but I'm not so sure about that. If you are wondering why I don't use any markup for content like incoming comments etc., now you know.
It's interesting to see how many people still use 'http://' image sources...
If you don't want to use the new security feature, you can deactivate it in settings:
Power Down & Withdrawal Routes
New buttons in the Account Balances section:
Starting a Power Down:
The 'Stop Power Down' button will be enabled when a Power Down is active:
Most people might not know this Steem feature, but it is possible to define routes for vesting withdrawals. When you make a Power Down you can add routes to other Steem accounts, so that they will receive a portion of the withdrawal. When the option 'Receive Vests' is active, the target account will receive vesting shares (SP, without conversion) instead of liquid STEEM:
By clicking the 'Edit' button you can directly edit the desired route. The available free percentage will automatically be calculated and the maximum range for the slider will be set:
Add new route:
Show incoming routes:
Small changes
New setting for minnows to see all amounts with three decimal places:
The 'Add Delegation' button is now in the Delegations section:
I hope that I didn't forget to mention any important changes here. As always, a very busy week...

Much Love,
@steemchiller Great work, 100 percent upvote my friend!
Lieber Chiller,
ich hoffe, es geht dir gut! Wir haben ja länger nicht direkt zueinander geschrieben.
Ich hab' eine Kleinigkeit:
Bei Settings habe ich unter "Page Scroll Over Lists" nach wie vor "Prevent" eingestellt. Die Seite haut aber seit kurzem trotzdem nach oben oder nach unten ab, wenn der Listenanfang oder das Listenende erreicht ist, und man nicht sofort mit dem Scrollen aufhört. Erst bleibt die Liste kurz stehen, aber dann haut sie ab.
Ich glaube, da hast du eine Kleinigkeit verändert. Ich finde aber, dass es vorher angenehmer war.
Vielleicht täusche ich mich ja auch, und es verhielt sich schon immer so. Ich wollt's dir auf jeden Fall mal sagen.
Ich fänd's toll, wenn Seite stehen bleiben würde, wenn man sich mit der Maus über einer Liste befindet und scrollt.
Lieben Gruß, @double-u
Moin @double-u,
es geht mir inzwischen wieder ganz gut. Es gab da so ein paar Ereignisse in meinem Leben, die ich erstmal verarbeiten musste, aber an sich bin ich wieder ganz okay. Alkohol kann sehr gefährlich sein und vermutlich ist er einer der Hauptgründe für viele Probleme in der Welt. Es kann so viel Spaß machen sich mal richtig abzuschießen und die Nacht mit Freunden am Lagerfeuer unter einem wunderschönen Sternenhimmel zu verbringen, aber es kann einen auch ganz schön in die andere Richtung ziehen, wenn man sich nicht mehr unter Kontrolle hat und auf eine Treppenstufe tritt, die gar nicht existiert...
Ich bin auf jeden Fall die letzten Tage dabei mit einem gebrochenen Fuß meinen Alltag zu meistern und heute kann ich endlich wieder einigermaßen auftreten. Eigentlich war die Woche zum Entspannen gedacht gewesen, aber das muss ich jetzt wohl etwas später nachholen. Alkohol ist für mich erstmal raus und es wird Zeit endlich mal wieder gemütlich einen durchzuziehen. Chiller 4 life ~
Danke für deine Nachricht und der Info zu dem 'Page Scroll Over Lists' Problem. Ich habe sehr viel in meinem Code optimiert in letzter Zeit und dabei habe ich etwas übersehen. Es sollte jetzt wieder wie gewohnt funktionieren ;)
LG, Chiller
Alkohol ist keine Droge, sondern ein Programm mit Absturzgarantie. Du hast bei allem Vergnügen vollkommen vergessen, deinen Chiller–Unterstützungspost rauszuhauen, lieber @steemchiller. Das ist viel wichtiger, als darüber nachzudenken, was du dir als nächstes zwischen die Synapsen donnerst.
Dann würde ich an deiner Stelle auch mal darüber nachdenken, was es bedeutet, dass du in Serie an den Knochen verletzt bist. Wir brauchen dich, Mann! Du bist meine Geheimwaffe, abseits aller Steemit–Wichtigmänner. In Gegensatz zu den Bröckchen die sie bewegen, schiebst du eine Art Hinkelstein über den Steem der schwerer wiegt, als alles andere was ich in der Richtung Steemtools bisher beobachten konnte.
Hau deinen Post raus Mann!. Ich will dich endlich wieder unterstützen.
Guten Morgen, lieber Chiller!
Ohje, das hört sich ja gar nicht gut an.
Ich wünsch' dir gute und schnelle Besserung!
Ja, der Alkohol ist tückisch. Ich trinke nur noch ganz ganz selten mal ein Bierchen. Auf Dauer geht's mir ohne Alkohol deutlich besser.
Gutes Entspannen wünsch' ich dir auch! ;-)
Ja, super! Das "Prevent" bei "Page Scroll Over Lists" funktioniert wieder, wie es sein soll. Vielen Dank dafür!
Liebe Grüße, @double-u
I am amazed how you always come up with new and improved features. Simply amazing.
And yes, I did notice the faster page load. Much faster.
Full upvote and resteem is in order, as always!
Hey! Never new about those Power Down routes. Thanks!
BTW, can you add a call for SBD to STEEM conversion as this feature is deactivated on most steemit frontends.
I have never been using the conversion feature on Steemit. Is there any benefit over using the normal market orders? I've planned to add kind of an one-click market buy/sell feature in the coming weeks, so that one can immediately buy/sell SBD without the need of visiting the market.
Maybe that would be a better solution for direct conversions?
Well SBD is below $1 now, so conversion is definitely back in play.
It's also the main way SBD is removed from circulation so the debt ratio can go down. Selling it on the market just moves it between users.
Thanks for the info!
I've never thought about this, but then it really makes sense to have such a conversion feature. I'm going to implement it in the coming days. Maybe I should only enable it when SBD is trading below 1 USD...
Nice job. This may be one of the greatest selling points for steemworld since steemit inc don't seem to be re-enabling this function. I have been writing about the debt issue recently and may promote your site for this feature once you are ready.
Even though I don't understand half of the tech details you mentioned, I agree with you. If all you do is complain about how bad the platform is, without helping to fix what you don't like, why are you here?
Exactly on point!
Also if you don't buy STEEM now , at it's lowest point since 1 year , why are you here?
Awesome! I really appreciate how fast steemworld.org loads now, SteemWorld has been one of the best tools for Steemit and I use it everyday. Keep up the good work @steemchiller 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wenn Du so weiter machst, werde ich mit dem Tool eines Tages auch meine Tracks produzieren können...! ;-) ;-)
Full Vote und Resteem sind Pflicht!
Vielen Dank! Ich weiß nicht womit du arbeitest, aber so ein 'Start Reason...' Button wär' schon nice ja... ^^
Ich arbeite mit Cubase von Steinberg ;-)
Bin gespannt, wann der Start DAW Button kommt!!! ;-)
English please....
Thank you for this great update post @steemchiller.
Still pretty new to our Steem Community, but I've been here long enough to read some of the posts to which you are referring.
Your refutation of them, coming from a developer who has created such value for the rest of us with your SteemWorld app, should carry a lot of weight.
An old saying is ...
... so letting you know, while leaning that way, reading your post this afternoon encouraged me to buy some more STEEM (my upvote of your next weekly update will be worth more ...) "while there is blood in the streets" and hoping with you and many others, there are brighter days ahead.
Keep "fighting the good fight" @steemchiller! 👍
Nice job as usual @steemchiller! Can you explain a bit more about this for me please?
and why you have "No HTTP.." Thanks :)
The HTTPS protocol works nearly the same as the old HTTP but it is + S (Secure). Data being sent over the HTTPS ports are being encrypted, so that no external 'watcher' is able to read the content that goes through our cables. For images this is not 100% true but it is for a few other reasons recommended to use it for them too.
You may have noticed that for most today's sites there is a green lock in the address bar of your browser:
If I would load an image on SteemWorld that does not come from an HTTPS domain the green lock would change to a yellow or red one and by clicking on it there would show up a hint stating 'This page is not secure'. To avoid this I'm filtering non-HTTPS sources on the page.
Many people copied the link to their profile picture (pointing to an old HTTP source) into the Public Profile Settings on Steemit. Here is how it should look like (example from my profile):
Thank you so much for taking the time out to clarify that for me and other here @steemchiller! And for keeping it simple haha Now I totally get it :)
Yeah, couldn't be much simpler than that I guess... ^^ Always a pleasure for me to make you smile 😁
aww that's sweet @steemchiller; thank you!
Love the new profile pic by the way! I meant to say that earlier :) Have a great week!
OK... Hope to smile again
Thanks, this is educating...
we love chilling with @steemchiller now lets buy some steem while its down ;P
Yeah, believe me, I really need to chill out ;) Has been a long time...
