RE: Smart Media Tokens are coming

It is sounding more and more like the top 20 witness may not the best choice to be making decisions for a community. or maybe i misread. Steem Inc though has little time when the voice has little stake powered up.

Have I missed where HF21 is done and operating?

My point is you guys have not crossed the finish line. Witnesses haven't approved anything until they are running the code. HF21 isn't done unless or until it is approved and working.

We all know HF20 was a disaster and don't want to see a repeat. WIth a HF pending, it is not the time to have "Steemit blockchain team has shifted their focus entirely" to anything.

And like I said, I understand project management and starting up projects without dependencies. The point everyone is freaking out about is that it sounds like you're going to blow HF21 like you did with HF20 by not paying attention to it as per @pibara's comment.

HF21 is in a testing phase and we will absolutely address any necessary bugs (if any) that are identified by us, witnesses, or other developers during this testing phase. We will also need to give exchanges an appropriate amount of time to upgrade before the hardfork date. In the meantime, it’s full Steem ahead on development for SMTs. We aren’t waiting around to get started on this - in fact, SMTs have been back in active development for over a week now.

Justin, are you guys working with the Steem-engine and SCOT teams to see how SMTs and SCOT can complement one another and learn from each other? I mean, there might already be things they’ve developed that you can use.

There is no way they would do that. SMTs and SCOT tokens are in direct competition. SCOT will either grow to be so much more sophisticated in capabilities to SMT that people keep using them, or they will be discontinued.

In all likelihood, Steem Engine will go on to become a layer 2 solution just like most sidechains are doing now such as Loom, Blocknet, Matic. Steem Engine will still be very valuable as a market for trading crypto and also for interoperability between Steem SMTs and all the other blockchains.

How about a simple bug, I can't change my profile photo since the wallet was moved to separate page?! it loops to login and back

@alexs1320 - you use your active key or master password to change your profile picture in the wallet. One of the changes proposed in this hardfork is to allow a posting authority to update these settings - assuming this hard fork is accepted, we will be able to move that functionality back to the social side at some point shortly after the hard fork.

I would like to, I've done it once already, but something was wrong several times.
I'll try again in a couple of hours.

Thanks

This isn't linked to the blockchain. This is linked to the front ends. If you want to change your profile pic and steemit.com isn't working try busy.org or steempeak

Sorry, I forgot, Steemit is not Steem and this is only Beta version :D

Testing phase?
did you see any articles about testing of any witnesses?
End User testing, that is, not unit testing, that your code is running with Jenkins.

But really the community and the top20 block producers should be making some decisions and giving input on what they want changed. I don't mind them moving to work on SMT in the meantime.

Like I said somewhere, I think it's the completely shifting focus that is making everyone flip out (including me)

I'm pretty sure it's like one programmer switching to work on SMT

... andrarchy and some others I'm sure are free to chat about HF21 if the top 20 wanna chat. Let the dang programmer go work on SMT instead of sit around just because it makes us "Feed Good"

So who is responsible for HF21 contingency planning? Who is responsible for defining and quantifying success and failure? Steemit Inc? The top witnesses? Both? Noone?

Ok so you are blaming the witnesses for what Pumpkin is ordering. Nice. Throw them under the bus.. good. Same shit show as usual.

Flags are part of the eco system of the platform you are on. If you do not like them don't log in. Up means agree. Down is to disagree. I do not agree with what you said. I understand you are used to an echo chamber of fecal matter. But I prefer honesty. I get flagged often and quite enjoy it. Someone is expressing their opinion. And that is part of being free. As did I with your comment.

Run along now cry baby. You need your nappy changed. :)

I responded to a comment saying ''not great, not terrible'' and you flagged me for no reason. Which means that you are just a troll, and therefore no one cares what you have to say.

For no reason? How do you know there was "no reason". I absolutely had a reason. And no I am not trolling. If you go through this same post you will find about 20-30 people who I upvoted. Some of which I agree with. Not agreeing does not make someone a "troll" it just means the person does not agree. A mature person should be able to handle a range of opinions, including other opinions that are not the same as our own.

You said not terrible. I am going to let you in on something.. and it will make your eyes widen, and your heart speed up.. because you are in some kind of hypnotic state of brain washing... this 100% ABSOLUTELY IS TERRIBLE. And that is my opinion. When my eyes read your echo chamber of shit comment, my reaction was to express I was against it via my downvote.

You are an intolerant whiny little bitch.

Exactly my point. You are immature and incapable of handing any view points other than your own. Even when they are coming from a place of sincerity and honesty. I told you the truth. I disagree with your opinion on it being 'not terrible'. But you can not handle differing opinions like a 2 year old that wants a red balloon, and not a yellow one. So you stamp your tiny feet until Mother does as you demand.

Grow the fuck up.
