Keep up the communication Ned. We’re mostly very supportive of the hard work putnin by you and your team.

It's great to see these updates @ned.

Communication is really important both in the good and in the bad times. I wouls say that it's much more important in the bad times. Thank you for doing this.

Also, SMTs, Simple SMTs, SMT-lite, it doesn't matter as long as we get them. So this is great news!

Steem on!!!

I am just happy @ned is upfront about the situation and keeping things transparent

SMT-10 soon; SMT-20 later

Thanks for the update!

It would be great if you and the dev team would consider adding native support for NFTs based on the SIP001 spec here, right after the work on basic tokens is complete:

https://github.com/thesweatshop/tokenforge/blob/master/SIP/SIP001.md

Edit: please see my reply to smooth deeper in this thread for short overview

Alright, reading and thinking. Hard times requires a Hard Fork.
@fyrst-witness

NFTs are accomplished in SMTs by issuing SMT-lite of 1(one) token and 0(zero) divisibility. What are the differences in the approaches? Thanks.

are you messing with time?

Our friend always showing transparency in his work, always keeping us informed, especially not charging the post, creator and great young visionary, taking us step by step and explaining to the mortals their work path with the equipment they will use, for this complex world in which we are and many of us here that we are neither engineers, nor great creators of projects, this allows us to advance, create and above all be well informed, of the work that you carry both on the platform and outside it, friends please support and continue working on the STEEMIT platform because she has allowed me to meet excellent people, excellent people especially workers, creators and developers .... Always pioneers at work greetings and my respects for my amid NED and for all They read me good vibes a hug.

To make everything come in shorter bursts and as the community has requested

Hey @ned , I am glad you are listening to the community.

Cheers

Yep. Same here. Communication is important.

Posted using Partiko Android

Ned I love the work you are doing and especially that you are listening to the community. That allows everyone to advance.

My proposal allows for storing of custom json metadata inside each individual token by 3 different parties: the token issuer, the current owner and the dapp interacting with the token.

The specification document contains a walk-through example

Thanks. I'm fairly sure we'll achieve the goals (e.g. Support Steem Monsters Card Issuance) supported by those reqs with SMT-lite. If I'm incorrect, let us know where.

Good, Glad to see SMT's are moving forward. This is absolutely essential functionality for paths foward for a variety of applications on STEEM and should, upon release, help provide the economic framework for growth in value of STEEM.

Using SMTs for NFT functionality would be a hack - while it might cover the very basics, the native enhancements I proposed would provide new capabilities and in turn enable new kinds of businesses/ecosystems to emerge.

so @blocktrades and @gtg were onto the point!

I am really excited about SMT's and thank you for the update. Will there be a blog post coming soon detailing how dApps can best be prepared for when SMT's do launch? Details regarding how one might switch over a currently Steem blockchain driven application to an SMT powered one, best practices from a development perspective that ultimately will make transitioning over as painless as possible.

Love the transparency and thanks again @ned

All the communication is appreciated.

I hope that the ETA of development will not be delayed any longer.

It's really a good thing to see positive feedback from our conments on the last post. Hopefully, everything goes according to plan with the SMT lite and we get steem back on track.

First of all, this update made my day!

Second, I know very little about development so this question is from a layman's point of view. There are many of us here, so I hope my question will help my fellow novices to understand this process better.

I am thrilled that the two most essential elements are going to be addressed. Is there any way to work on them at the same time so they can both launch asap? Could one of the two elements be outsourced to experts in the community or industry so they can be completed more quickly?

What is functionally different besides the name? If there are missing features, particularly small ones like json fields, now is the time to hash that out with the developers and get them incorporated.

Is the blocktrade proposal still relevant in this roadmap from ned?

Posted using Partiko Android

Are you considering @blocktrades offer to take the RocksDB implementation? The above seems to point to a 'no, thank you'.

Cheers.

It's explained better when reading the spec, in short there are a few things:

• native apis for nfts (querying, issuing, burning)
• separate storage inside each token for issuer's, owner's and dapp's data - they can write only to their own section.
• a new mechanism for users to send NFT tokens to third party dapps (similar to a smart contract)
• for those apps to consume/process token interactions asynchronously using queueing

This enables powerful new ways to build apps.

For example you could send your steemmonster cards to a real time strategy game dapp built by a 3rd party, play with them,earn custom points, and then convert those points to native experience points by steemmonsters - all data logged nativelly inside the token

Hi @upheaver - I just wanted to say thank you for contributing to STEEM ecosystem, I think it's very impressive that you just voluntarily devote probably tons of your time to open this platform to new possibilities. !tip 100 hide

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T80R9Rnk974

Thank you, highly appreciated

Seems that Ned wants his scaled-down company to do it all...since they continue to deliver in such a stellar manner.

https://steemit.com/blocktrades/@ats-david/re-blocktrades-blocktrades-rocksdb-proposal-to-steemit-20181206t002628784z

Thanks for the update, @ned. Love the idea of SMTs-Lite.

But does the focus on rocksdb mean that the offer from blocktrades is off the table? I mean, currently time is of essence.

But anyway, I'm trusting in your and the team's judgement. Looking forward to the live stream.

i could if you want me to

lol that was quick.

Ah right, thanks for the link.

Well I hope this doesn't put other people off offering to to help, I thought this one might be a goer :/

wow, that video was awesome, Imma spread it around a bit. Great Work!

SMT-42 will be the answer to all SMTs.

Tipping 100 STEEM - you're crazy, but the good kind :D

i think so or at least parts of it

Yes I understand your spec does things in a different way. Since you worked on your own to design something, and there are always different ways to get to the same goal line, it will clearly be different in terms of details such as the names of the APIs.

What I'm trying to drill down to are the core functional differences that can bridge the gap because I think there is near zero probability that the Steemit devs are going to implement your spec, but actually decent probability they might be convinced to make some small functional changes to enable the same or similar use cases.

For example, having data storage areas seems like something might be possible to go into even simple SMTs. If it goes in, many of the uses cases you have in mind will be enabled, if not using the same APIs that you specified, etc. If not then those use cases won't be able to use SMTs (or certainly not as easily)

He just used so many words I don't understand, I had to!

Dear friend, you do not appear to be following @wafrica. Follow @wafrica to get a valuable upvote on your quality post!

When you hang around people all day that talk like this you start to think all this jargon is normal. There were so many acronyms in this post I thought you were speaking another language. You need like a glossary for your posts perhaps. haha

But that said i'm happy to hear SMT is coming along we'll see to it that we can support SMT projects on @steempeak

Has "Pinned Post" always been a thing?

Only since a few minutes ago!

Very good updates bro, steemit has still many things to accomplish and show the world that it is great. We are not going to give up, we are going to be there to always support steemit.
@ned the community @team-mexico needs your support, greetings and thanks for the information.

Ned, welcome back to earth. When the bulls were running it was so hard to catch you. Now you are a regular and you are updating the community on key developments. This is what is required of you always. Till you give this project leadership. So next time the bulls run, do not forget that the bears are round the corner. Take It easy my friend!

Dear friend, you do not appear to be following @artzone. Follow @artzone and get added to our voting list for valuable up-votes!

This sounds exciting, some solid plans for a change. 👽

I don't suppose it matters if I ask for the third or fourth time for things to be explained in terms for regular users to understand instead of techno jargon alone, so... jazz hands?

really?

Are you on discord? Just curious

Ultimately our target is to have Economic nodes (Full Nodes by a Bitcoin standard) running on commodity hardware with 4GB of RAM and a standard SSD.

Now that's fuckin' exciting. I get that there's been a lot of SMT hype and people are kind of obsessed with them, but if you can pull off the above that's a sea change in Steem usability for devs.

u going to make mexico great again?

Good to hear you are listening!

@ned - it is great to adjust the goals in new reality. Something is better than nothing as long as we are progressing towards the main goal.

However, pls also keep exploring the option of taking support from the community. You have great community with diverse talent and reach and that is willing to be supportive too.

It would be great to see few words from U about @blocktrade proposal whether taken up or not. That would help other community members to fine tune their proposals in future.

sounds like bud and budlight 😂

Looks like Steemit Inc listened to my advice 🙃 I was one of the few telling them a no thanks to the expensive BT deal.

Of course, that is our goal since the community began. Our goal is to have the largest Mexican community of steemit. We are committed to doing it, @team-mexico has great things to do to achieve success. @dang007

Disappointed Korean Steemians lost faith in the Steem Inc...

All it took was a bear market and 70% layoffs.

I agree I don't understand any of this...
@ned can you please put this in terms us regular guys will understand?

At least we have @upheaver to explain it to us!

True. Haha...it's been going on for a while now

Thank god for the bear market. This is when things get done

we can leverage the existing BMIC unit tests to ensure that we replicate the expected behavior of BMIC, but backed by RocksDB

This is very smart and happy you can do such a thing. The transition will be smooth.

Seriously...if it goes any longer, I'll cry

U got to strike when the iron is hot. We lost the plot midway...It became all about $$$....It's still a great project. But we need focus and have to implement stuff in a timely manner. We have been talking about SMTs for more than a year I suppose. This is where we lost the plot.

me too ; )

lol...we'll cry together then

Amazing how stuff gets done in a week or so when that happens.

Another great progress good luck

Yeah I was thinking some people perform better with back against the wall. Clutch. I'm the same.

Look at STAR WARS (original release) vs. Phantom Menace.

Thank you very much for the update my dear friend

Wow only 4gb of ram and standard ssd’s is all that is needed! Awesome

Posted using Partiko iOS

That sounds good.

By the way, what the hell is this?

https://media.giphy.com/media/ulVrueOPSVRio/giphy.gif

That is quite the reduction, and will be quite the reduction in potential costs for server hardware. How confident are you that the timeline will be able to be upheld? I know frequently estimates for development can be held up, even by tiny issues that were unforeseen, but there are conservative estimates and quite optimistic ones. If that estimate is able to be upheld, then it will only mean possibly one or two additional months before witnesses can reduce their costs considerably. That is quite good news.

As to SMT's...I'm not as optimistic that they're the golden unicorn people are claiming them to be. I'd prefer more community and curation related features be implemented. So, it's nice to see an SMT-lite is going to be implemented in the near future, but I think a lot more needs to be done.

Pinned - I like it @ned - about time we get to see important information from Steemit Inc on Steemit.com from the CEO when he has something to say! Good Move!- I have missed this since... 2 Years and 9 Months ago. Can we get our own personal pin on our steemit.com blogs too? :) :)

Well atleast the new leaner team looks meaner and we're seeing some progress, thanks ned! Also how does one go about getting their post pinned? I'd like to pin my post! You can't just show up with new features like that and not tell us!

Good to know that we have a game plan in place! 💪🏼🙌🏼💯

Posted using Partiko iOS

haha nice video

Indeed! I think that even if we had to split the chain across multiple servers, allowing this would be a great development. A 64GB server is still pretty premium. A 16GB server would be perfectly acceptable. To get all the way down to 4GB? That means that people can run it on hardware taking on dust balls in the closet. Such would mean that quite a few more people can run servers.

Good job @ned . I really like it, how fast you react and how you start communicate with the community!

Ned, your wallet activity communicates that you are aiming to power down 100%. Since 1.5 Mil STEEM has already been uloaded into the market; a big question mark stands.

In my 40 years of capital markets and companies; the ONLY reason a CEO gets rid of his WHOLE stock of holdings is due to the following potentials:

1. You are LEAVING or Giving Up out of disgust (unlikely).

2. You have received another offer elsewhere that's too good to decline.

3. The board is about to fire you (unlikely) since the board is you, yourself and you.

So, what's going on? There are many reasons a CEO sells and only one reason a CEO buys.

I'm smelling something having to do with #2....that you have somewhere else to go....perhaps not of your choice but necessity. Where are you going?

What have you done with Steemit Inc.? My sixth sense tells me that you're up to a self preservation driven activity.

I'm aiming at #2.....what are you scheming? What's going on that makes you unload your wallet? Did you sell Steemit Inc.? Is it going bankrupt?

I shall meditate on this to discern.

My understanding is a leaner version of SMTs is under development and a new database system (rocksDB) is to be deployed which will hold a lot of stuff that had been floating around in RAM to be stored on disk. This should allow full witness like nodes to run on machines that will be much more affordable; which should help to further decentralize the network and make everything much cheaper to manage.

[NOTE: The above interpretation is open for debate and likely mis-interpreted in many areas. It is not meant as financial advice but Ned's post is making me feel very bullish. 😎]

lol - I just read many things I do not understand once again. My accounting degree, MBA and CPA are useless here.

This place never fails to amuse and I hope it survives. I just pray all the big guys get it together. I will keep posting weight loss work and helping tiny fish as long as I can.

Thank you for your explanation here. I didn't quite get the benefit when I read your post and glanced over the documentation.

That advice came out of nowhere.
They should do it like everybody else, PR and have the consensus decide, what is best.
At least, they could still vote against SMTs, if they are not happy with the current solution, but they didn't do it in the past, so I doubt they will do it

that issue is at least a year old, and no one stops them to develop it and have a PR.
Like everybody else.

Transferring crypto to an exchange is not the same thing as selling. I myself have quite a bit of Steem on an echange that I use for regular trading. It might not be the most secure thing, since the exchange could be hacked, but it allows me to profit quite a bit from trading.

He could have done quite a number of things, including diversifying his crypto holdings to weather to bear market. The question is, if he has sold Steem, will he buy back any? Will he possibly increase his holdings?

In any case, it's not really our business what someone does with their personal holdings of Steem. Despite people's grumblings about people powering down, it is fully their own business what they do with their own finances.

Also how does one go about getting their post pinned?

Probably running your own Condenser Node would do it. 😎

Hay buddy what is this RocksDB can anyone please guide me??

Posted using Partiko Android

I like that this was a pinned post in my newsfeed.

Thanks for the update. If you make it possible to run a full node on a 4gb server I promise to throw in some ;)

Hi @ned ,

First of all thanks to work hard and i know everyone want to be ok for Steemit.

There's something that makes me think. As you know, on Ethereum, have many projects started with ICO.But in the market in the bear period, these projects have been started to sell their coins. Ethereum devs and its community have not solved this issue yet. Have you considered a precaution against the possibility of similar economic problems for SMT ?

Thanks..

Spamming the creator of the whole platform? Are you for real? Bad Steemian.. very very bad!

Now you will get coal in your stocking on Christmas morning! Tisk Tisk!

Why would you have your bot leave a comment on Ned? Bad Steemian..... Santa is going to put you on his naughty list!

this was the exact same question I had, so I shall toss 10% upvote to my friend @therealwolf and hope that this question is answered. With that said, I am looking forward to the stream and the Q&A portion - everything looks like it is going well!

Cheers

• WinD

To be honest, Blocktrades should develop it and release it at a public repo.

That’d decentralization.

Thanks a lot for the update @ned, its been a long time coming, Glad to see the community still active, Keep it up!

As I also replied to Asher:

“To be honest, Blocktrades should develop it and release it as a public repo.

That’d decentralization.”

It’s time to decentralize rather than always needing answers of the same unit. It’s time to put the learn in the flearn. Otherwise the same risks happening over and over again. Rinse and repeat.

Can we get our own personal pin on our steemit.com blogs too?

I would second that. Pinning posts would be awesome. It would be great to be able to pin introduction or important updates to the top of our pages.

To take that even further, I wish we had folders we could organise our content into and then pin posts to the top of each folder.

Just something to consider when funds permit.

intercambio de votos me ayudan porfa

Ned
Good chances are blowing up.
What are you doing?

I think the biggest obstacle to the development of the company is you. Am I a bad person?

Ohh! Nice..

Pinned post? Can I pin my post?

The scaled-down SMTs scope includes these features: claiming names, tokens, issuance of tokens to one account, transfers between accounts, immutability (meaning that once a token is launched none of its original parameters can be altered) and a testnet.

I think I remember that someone once said, that names of SMT will not be a part of a consensus. Had a plan change about that? If yes, how name squatting will be addressed?

Exactly my thoughts @jarvie - wouldn't a glossary under the main dropdown menu on everyone's account page a be a good idea? Or is there perhaps already one somewhere amongst the FAQs items?

ammm i didn't know @ned can do pin posts ....
is there an option to do it in my profile ?

"Ultimately our target is to have Economic nodes (Full Nodes by a Bitcoin standard) running on commodity hardware with 4GB of RAM and a standard SSD."
This is fantastic news and will benefit the Steem ecosystem enormously.
If Crypto prices had stayed high this would never have been a priority.
This is a perfect example of how going through tough times creates a much stronger & better result than being on easy street.
Well done and good luck in getting these initiatives completeted.

Hardened steel has to be forged in fire.

This is huge news for our #OneLoveDTube community, a few of our RPC node dependant projects are having a hard time currently and with those resource requirements we could run our own node off the servers we have already 💪

Posted using Partiko iOS

Thank you @ned for the effort of you and your team. considering of large-scale layoffs, I think the delay of tasks ETA are understandable. steem on!

Upvoted for the commitment to getting a simple token delivered; thank you. The greater concern here is probably the period of time proposed for the RocksDB work, since technical people seem to doubt it can be done that quickly. So I wonder at the actual price difference between what you are doing and what Blocktrades proposed to handle. But again, we need tokens and thank you for that commitment.

Lol .. you are funny.

Keep the updates coming and make the most of the other development team. We need a boost of confidence in Steem.

Ultimately our target is to have Economic nodes (Full Nodes by a Bitcoin standard) running on commodity hardware with 4GB of RAM and a standard SSD.

I am SO excited by this. Increased decentralisation!

Rise of the many nodes! Can't wait. Any word on CPU requirements / core count targets? I'm not about to run out and buy hardware today, but it would stop me from selling some other hardware I have lying around. :)

Pretty cool video. Did you post this to your blog I would love to ReSteem it or spread it around!

Great news! I'm looking forward to running a full node within my virtual environment once the technical requirements become more realistic.

Lets get these SMTs going this time around.

It's all super! But, as it seems to me, it is necessary to explain to simple users who are a bit far from the depths of building digital chains, which as a result we get from this in the bottom line. As I understand it, the cost of producing one token will decrease, correct me if I'm wrong. How will this affect Steam's cost? If the standard equipment can generate a token, then does it mean that everyone with a computer resource allows it to generate a token?

Whoooa that was nuts! Rock on SMTs!!

I think I'm registered but I rarely open it.

Good job @ned . I really appreciate how hard the changes must have been this close to Christmas, but I understand critical situations call for serious solutions. I am very happy to see how fast things are moving the and increased focus on deliverables, communication and the discourse in the comments.

Ultimately our target is to have Economic nodes (Full Nodes by a Bitcoin standard) running on commodity hardware with 4GB of RAM and a standard SSD.

That sounds awesome! You can count many many people in - when this became reality.
Awesome that you listened to the community and adjusted the plan to bring SMT-lite.
That made my day!

What the heck! This was fast and awesome man! I really want to know how it was created :O

google it by yourself and you will find out: https://rocksdb.org/

RocksDB uses a log structured database engine, written entirely in C++, for maximum performance. Keys and values are just arbitrarily-sized byte streams.

RocksDB is optimized for fast, low latency storage such as flash drives and high-speed disk drives. RocksDB exploits the full potential of high read/write rates offered by flash or RAM.

RocksDB is adaptable to different workloads. From database storage engines such as MyRocks to application data caching to embedded workloads, RocksDB can be used for a variety of data needs.

RocksDB provides basic operations such as opening and closing a database, reading and writing to more advanced operations such as merging and compaction filters.

No worries you are welcome :)

because it is a bot without a brain

It is a bot without a brain @kawaiicrush.

@artzone is an awesome service and without this a lot of creators would not be here anymore... They do a lot of work and shall not receive a flag in my opinion.

It would be cool if you look behind the wall and see the value of a service instead of the spamming character of one comment. Just my opinion.

It is pinned like the name says ^^
an important information which should be provided to all steemians.

I don't think we can ever pin posts - but the dev team and @ned are able to do so.

Nice username btw :P

Yeah I know that. I never said artzone was horrible or anything. I made a Christmas joke.

Flag them? I did not flag them? And you want me to not judge people and look into them? Aren't you the person who judged me way back when and didn't even know me lol... In addition to that making a light Santa joke as Christmas is in a couple weeks it not 'judging someone'. Judging is like when you call someone an animal abuser for going to a zoo one time. Not making a light Santa joke over the holidays. lol your too funny. You don't even know what judging is. You are the judging king. Your sitting there judging me over a light cute Santa joke telling someone else not to judge that wasn't even judging in the first place. hehe you made me giggle! So silly :D

With out a little humor the blockchain is boring. Loosen up and smile!

I also provide an amazing service to the blockchain.. some of which is actually making people smile. Try it sometime!

Yes and I am a human with a sense of humor. I did not murder someone I made a Christmas joke. Some people need to relax.

In short I ned laid off 70% of staff so they would no longer delay progress and we have viable ideas as to how to solve sustainability for nodes and we are working on SMT-lite So tokens can start to be distributed 😅

Can I pick the next post to pin up top of everything? This is something you should do every Monday. Pick the 7,777 post made on Sunday and pin it to the top of everything on Monday. No matter what the post is even if it is an actifit one or a NSFW one. A total random draw of the hat to promote a totally random post. That is if there is 7,777 post made in a 24 hour period, if not drop one 7 and pick the 777 post to promote via pin for 7 days. Just think how happy you would make someone.

yes, agree more

As everyone can see in the screen shot above. You upvoted the spam on an important post of @ned? Oh well I guess people can enjoy my Christmas joke :D

At least they can have a smile :)
Merry Christmas to all! And to all a good Steem!

Mostly just a smart person, who doesn't seem to be under the influence of the cult of nonpersonality.

What about SMT-69?

@Ned have you also considered FPGA acceleration of the blockchain replay? It is heavily CPU single core bound and likely involved many steps that would benefit from FGPA acceleration. I have these $275 Acorn 215 FPGAs from Squirrels research based on Xinlix Artix 7 FPGA that I'm interested in seeing whether they can be used to accelerate Steem node replay times. The main tech guy there @gpuhoarder on Discord thinks its possible.

seem everyone can be minters ^^

The way I look at it this that SteemInc may well speak their own language, but at least now they are attempting to use it to communicate to others outside of SteemInc!

Why thank you! I amuse myself :)

How do I get this “pinned post” junk off of my newsfeed?

By the way, Minds.com allows for three pinned posts. Gab.com, Facebook, Twitter, & other websites, allow for just one pin, generally. Adding customization, options, brings us closer to the golden age of MySpace of 2007 which is when I was totally customizing my home page on MySpace with some code to allow redesigning the layout to turn your home MySpace page into like a website home page. I would love to be able to redesign a custom Steemit home page like it was Wix.com or Webs.com or some other kind of web builder like Busy.org but with even more options.

You are absolutely right, that's why I'm trying to convince @ned to shedule a review with his dev team to see if there are points of overlap that need to be considered now between SMTs and this proposal.

The other option is to build this as a community plugin.

Awesome! When the new release is out, I can run a cluster of full nodes on the same hardware currently one full node consumes.

Ah ... soon new update come ... I was just think last 2 weeks back ... when we can have this Pinned Post thing :) very good ... And @ned not stop...Make steemit BIG.... I not want go back on Facebook or Instagram or Twitter... I want be here :)

Thanks for update useful information.

@blocktrades commented on his own thread that the proposal was rejected.

That's good to know in advance. @ned

Thank you for sharing your post @ned I really see big things are coming for steemit.very positive change for everyone on this platform.

Athena is in 👸🏽

YES...

Necessity is "The MOTHER of INVENTION"...

We also need to be a bit less critical because ALL the cryptos ARE Being manipulated LOWER...

Have almost 40 years working/observing the financial markets and really can't find a single financial instrument globally, that is NOT being manipulated...

So let's PULL Together...

Haha, I'll continue doing that. Apparently it works :)

Sir @ned I think it SMT-10 soon; SMT-20 later

Posted using Partiko Android

Thank you for great news, we win together.

Thanks for the update! I hope that the SMT development goes according to plan and RocksDB as well.

I know it's not my place, but if I'm allowed a suggestion then I think it's not a bad idea to take @blocktrades up on his proposal if you feel that you guys have multiple problems on multiple front. Sometimes outsourcing can help.

I know 250K is a lot of money, but if the cost reduction is significant then it would be worth it.

Anyways, thanks again and good luck!

This right here is why optimizing steem's core technology is so important

The Pinned Post idea is insane @ned..
Thanks for the update and I have just made a post on how we can share this info massively on Twitter!

I will not share the link here, but can be found on my blog!!!

Very well, awaiting the SMTs to be transferable ;)

Excellent, we hope that these interesting updates congratulate the team for always providing a better stay on this platform. It would be great, these changes plus a revolutionary upward trend thanks to the crypto.

Oh now I see that you didnt flagged them. Sorry

You don't need to take out that old story ... really ... I thought we were over that. But okay we are not

I would actually check out their recent activities. Seen some rather dodgy stuff going on...

Just like how they are showing up on a post which they have no business of showing up. The same goes to Wafrica.

Nice updates, i just hope these are upheld because it will be a blow to the face to have waited for a whole year for SMTs and now there is a tiny light in the darkness, only for that to be turned off.

He's much easier to understand. haha

Yeah it is a bad programmed bot in my opinion.

Is someone outside of steem gonna understand all those very very steem acronyms?

Someone walks in and wonders why the heck you're helping "tiny fish" hahaha

I really like the new Ned. :)

No problem dude! :)

In 30 days? What do we have in 30 days? Are you serious? Take a look at the project planning. :)

This is once again a very big mind-fuck. Time will tell...

Here have some butter for your popcorn. We wouldn't want you to choke on it.

Shitty comments have been getin 10-15$ upvotes.

Don't fool yourself. Are you serious?

I have tears in my eyes, are you joking?

Thank you @enforcer48 for bringing some logic into this. I spend 99% of my time looking out for the best interest of Steemit. I am one of Nathan Mars 777's and I was told by him, as well as I agree with this myself.. that spam is not good for any cause. Even good causes. There are much better ways to get our messages out such as creating content that informs people about our causes. We do not need to shove our messages at people with bots. This post of @ned was directed as an important update to all of us as Steemians. Anyone spamming anything here is being disrespectful not only to Ned, but to all of us Steemians who came here for an update. I actually did not downvote the spam. I merely commented on it with a little humor. To which @Tibfox got triggered and told me off. Then you come along and reinforce the point of what I originally said.. and now Tibfox is agreeing with you? After Tibfox upvoted the spam half way to the top of the page.. ? Thank goodness some sensible people came along and down voted it back to the bottom where it belongs. The whole thing is so humorous. Anyhow thanks for being logical. After all that he spams popcorn to boot which as we all know is yet another spammy bot.. The insanity is off the charts. lol No wonder he is defending spam. He spams. :P

Talk soon @enforcer48
Glad to hear you agree concerning spamming Ned.

Commitment? The only thing delivered is a little beer mat with some writings on it.

30 days, what are the deliverables? Are you serious? We should be happy in 30 days he finished his powerdown, how many mind-fucks can you undergo?

lol, you wished him good luck... you're evil.... :)

"Ultimately our target is to have Economic nodes (Full Nodes by a Bitcoin standard) running on commodity hardware with 4GB of RAM and a standard SSD"

You just got trolled, or better, scammed... how does that feel... fantastic news, or ? fake news?

Yes I saw you were not keen.

Only Steemit Inc can accurately assess the offer against doing it themselves - let's hope the right decision was made.

"I mean, currently time is of essence"

What do you mean with that? 30 days ... ?

Upvoted, a real example of using reasoning and not wishful thinking.

lol... please let the guy be happy. :)

Ehhh what progress do you see?

You are awake... Grtz... don't be fooled by all these gospel singers and mantra repeaters. Use your eagle eye.

That is ok as long as a reason is assigned and a better option is taken up

Please, could you stop the cumming? I liked the critical parts of your being more.

Enough said, this is a farce, a mind fuck to buy some time to execute his exit plan.

Imagine he would accept the blocktrades proposal. That would mean blocktrades would deliver as promised. And that's not part of the plan.

I am very skeptical and doubtful about what is happening here. How many times are these empty promises needed before more people wake up?

I hope more people use reasoning and not wishful thinking when it comes to Ned Scott and Steemit Inc.

I hope the steem price goes lower much more, so that steemit inc needs to sell more stake to pay for this liquidation fase. Some new kids on the block is the way forward.

lol, beggar!!! :)

ohh boy, love it... I almost spit my cofee over my keyboard...

Don't forget the replay. :)

Don't smart-contract me Bro!!! :)

ehhh, duh.... youre what?

We all have ideas and dreams... thank you!!!

Ehhh no, you will be running a cluster-fuck.

Stay away... finish school first!!!

Server? Servers are in centralized datacenters. Shouldn't the end goal be the actual end users running nodes on their android phones? And on their gaming PC's. Bitcoin isn't mined only in datacenters. Steem nodes shouldn't witness blocks in only those locations either. That is a recipe for disaster.

Oh yeah!

You can run the smoke blockchain on 4gb Ram.. :) Perhaps steemit inc takes note and removes the cancer that is SBD.

Notthing got done at the moment still.

NED, thanks for your active communication. SMT is the hope of STEEM.

#fakenews

https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node

https://i.imgflip.com/1piz8e.jpg

Steemians can use Bitshares user tokens, why do we need SMT ?

ammm hope they will add it to users soon

They won’t. It was just done so “Ned” can keep everyone from leaving, I suspect.

Oh Great now you too? Don't make me put you on Santa's Naughty list >:)

Can anyone explain what all of this means? I see people getting all excited but I don't know exactly what's going on o:

Ignorant oblivious dreamer...

Great

LMAO Bernie strikes again!

I'm also powering down 100% now, and that's not because I'm leaving Steem, it's just because it seems to be the only way to gain a bit of liquidity on the Steem power.

By powering down 100%, once a week I get some freedom of choice, I can choose to revert the power down by powering up, I can choose to sell some steem, I can choose to buy SBD on the internal market and convert it to steem if that seems profitable, and I can choose to channel funds over to other investments.

Why is @berniesanders downvoting this? What the hell is going on over here? Why is this post hidden due to low ratings? WTF is going on the Steemit Blockchain? I am shocked

You’re shocked I think @ned is full of shit? That’s nothing new. He’s NEVER delivered anything he said he would.

Gracias @ned mienstras unos tratan de destruir el steem yo sigo trabajando en steemit con mucha fe.

https://www.peerhub.com/

If you read Minnesotan you'll notice there's a pretty big slam on SMT obsession in there.

But part of being critical is celebrating when something is a really good idea, and nodes that can run on commodity hardware are a really good idea.

Smart Media Tokens. But what we're getting first is simple tokens, without even a market to trade them on.

Very glad to see these updates so we as a community know whats going on. Thank you for taking the time Ned it will truly pay off!

Is this a reason for downvoting him before mate? Maybe I am missing some background information, that's why I am asking you know

My new motivational track when I need to get some energy and hype to work :D

The beatings will continue until the morale improves.

man....why don't you get along with Dan again and you guys could merge EOS with Steem......otherwise he creates steem 2.0 and we all get fucked up......doesn't matter who is the boss, better to be number 2 with Dan in charge and become a billionaire than be the number 1 and go bankrupt......no room for small coins....EOS and Steem must merge......he already proved he was right when he created a new coin from scratch and it got much higher market capital than steem....sell the control of Steemit Inc to Dan......you assure yourself finantially and assure the success of Steem. Telling this not to put you down in any way but to genuinely help you.....All the best

I didn't know there was a pinned post feature...

me to. For sure!!!

this will be a complete failure and the end of this blockchain as a whole

lol

Best thing i've seen all day!

Forget about SMT! I still think that they are totally useless.

Awesome!! I like the SMT lite idea! We are waiting patiently to launch our SMT.

What will be the fee to register a SMT name?

We are releasing cXc Music, our first steem dapp next week!! Here is a preview!!

If you want to learn more about the project, just ask, or go to currentxchange.com.

A gaming PC can be a server and indeed a good one for blockchain applications with excellent single core speed. Servers don’t have to be I data centers. Once upon a time every business had them in their office.

That sounds good.

He’s been deceiving us for 2+ years.

Ned...I meditated for a long time to discern why you are unloading your wallet. As in my prior comment, CEO dumps whole wallet primarily because he has somewhere else to go...usually that somewhere else means you've likely SOLD your ownership of Steemit Inc.

THAT's IT!! YOU SOLD STEEMIT INC.!!! Didn't you? Often lay offs also come prior to an M&A completes....so YOU laid off 70% not because of the price of STEEM (a rouge); but you must have SOLD STEEMIT Inc. or your ownership of it!!

I've run CEOs for 40 years and have done many M&As...YOU SOLD STEEMIT INC!! That can be the MOST experience based reason I can come up with.

EVERYONE: NED MUST HAVE SOLD STEEMIT INC!!!!

The pinned shows how pressured he is from the price drop

Your GIF gave me a Paulapileptic seizure! How inconsiderate... :-D

I am so sorry @D-pend it was meant to do that but not to you! haha :P

What did he do?

:-) Indeed

👁👁

He didn't.

_{I'm sorry, just had to.}

Thanks!

That is why we are all here i believe!

Welcome. We hope for the best

Wow!!!!

This gets me so pumped!!

And... here’s the realist.

way cool

To be honest, i don't understand what i just read. is SMT getting closer to completion already?
Help a chap

I think he might be going full Tron on us...

This is one of my favorite incentives for my staff!

뭐라는거야 누가 번역좀...

I hope you guys discuss soon.

I tell you what, my staff loves a good beating also. At least twice a day.

Not much of anything at all...except dump STEEM.

Well I totally agree. The thing why I did say server is because I got a internet connection that is unreliable at the best and simply disfunctional at the worst of times.
If I would have something decent I would throw in additional pcs at my home.

Steemit Devs have secret powers like pinning posts and speaking in their own language.

Oh, don’t worry. The people getting really excited don’t know what’s going on either. They just like to cheerlead on posts from incompetent “CEOs” that never deliver.

Basically...they’re worthless shills, mostly.

SMT full means say please?????

I have never been more excited about Steemit then I am right now. Thank you Ned for your decision making in the past few weeks.

And that only addresses the lack of revenue...

This proposal is like putting a band-aid on a bullet wound.

This is absurd... that doesn't help the "ecosystem"...

It's far closer to repainting a house that's partially collapsed from termite damage and calling it a repair.

payout declined why???

You’ve really started spitting that vitriol, haven’t you? Christ... Everybody asks for communication and transparency, and then when they pin an update to the top of people’s feed that they feel needs to be seen, people fly off the handle. You moving to Whaleshares or something? I like you @kafkanarchy84, I really do. Just seems like as something of a community leader, your outlook is less than helpful, at least in this forum...

Just a friendly reminder to anyone paying attention.

When the success of an organization promising rewards for investment that depends on future investment to cover the costs of earlier investors... that's not lowering costs, that's not expanding the platform, it's bordering on a ponzi scheme.

The solution needs to be in looking at revenue streams, not generating new or better cryptocurrencies... part of why SBD value has dropped so much harder than cryptos in general is because SBD is only good for SP or $, and essentially nothing else (of any real scale).

Thanks for all of your hard work! STEEM has a bright future!

I like the way you think LMAO! I'll be sure to have a my SMT-towel.

cool story bro

Truly a balanced show of worthless shills and hopeless, unhelpful cretins. We have all the best to offer around here.

Thanks, Ned!

Manipulation is manipulated in a way that manipulators will manipulate the readers like there is no manipulation at all ;)

SMT-10 soon; SMT-20 later

I agree with you my friend!!

Thanks @ned for pinning this so we can see it, and it's clear, from the horses mouth so to speak.

/FF

I don't understand much about crypto or financial markets, but I do understand something about history. You have the chance to become one of those people who makes it into the books because you made your mark, you made something out of nothing. You can get very rich in doing it--I don't know how that works, but if Steemit endures and grows it will be a legacy no one can erase. Please steer the course gently.

I have no Clue what SMT is... And I'm Totally Impressed with
the Amount of Comments you're getting on your Post...

Reading my Posts are like getting hand fulls of Change...

Thanks! 😊

@sacred-agent

the most ridiculous logic ever

"the world is a scam, so lets scam together!

whos who

if you make the beatings shorter you can fit 4 into one day,
really helps motivate the staff

.

"Ultimately our target is to have Economic nodes (Full Nodes by a Bitcoin standard) running on commodity hardware with 4GB of RAM and a standard SSD."

Sounds pretty much like NAS specs, would be amazing if it could run in a Docker or LXC container on a QNAP or Synology NAS.

NED는 SMT 좋다고, 행복회로 돌려보라는 거죠. NED가 사기를 치고 있는건지, 진짜 SMT 하다가 미쳐버린 건지 모르겠지만요. 반 정도는 이 상황에 SMT가 제정신이냐 그런 반응이고, 반정도는 SMT뭔지도 모르면서 좋다고 NED 빨고 그런듯요. ㅋㅋ NED는 안 변하겠네요. NED가 계속 CEO를 하면 스팀잇이 죽을지도. 정 들었었는데 이제 집착하지말고 보내줄 준비를 해야겠네요.

It is well

I like it, something like "Pin your own business!"

Communities and "hivemind" were promised loooonnnng before SMTs and never delivered. The plot was lost long before you realize I guess.

Sorry for having an opinion you don’t like. I’m nobody’s leader. Why is frustration and an actual opinion that’s not a cult-y happy cheerleading song such a taboo for so many here?

I guess Ned=70% of the STEEMIT work force 👊😊

Hahahahahahahaha, that was actually a very funny response 😂

I don’t really think we have to blindly praise Ned and co. or be entirely dismissive of their efforts. Feels like there’s still a thin line of wary hope in the middle there somewhere. Not saying I’m entirely pleased with the situation, hf20 fucking newcomers and the big layoffs, but the people cried for transparency from stinc and that’s what they got. Not really cheerleading for them.

I leave that as an exercise for the reader.

Why @ned does't get payout for any of his posts?

the man himself, don't listen to the jokers,

what i see is not giving up in the face of adversity, and that's a good thing

when the wheel turns and a new deck is dealt we can all have us a nice glass of bubbly and smile right back, like

ah well, five months is a long time, see where that goes, but i guess i can at the very least claim i had the first tradeable token exchangeable for steem on steemchain with @goldmanmorgan coin 8 months before "they" did ;-)

holds up fire-resistant shield +10 vs flaming jokers

Thx for the update!! Very excited ;)

Just a really really boring idea...nothing glamorous, just basic sales and incentives...

https://steemit.com/blog/@lucylin/here-s-a-thought-some-positive-action-is-needed-on-steemit

Idk what you mean 🤷🏼‍♂️?

How is this post different from the last 50 times promises and dates were made and failed. You know, like "live stream tomorrow" and "post and make money"

Yet here we are, with all the usual hypnotized, kool-aid drinking, cult members kissing @Ned's ass as usual. And such an ass he is.

They'd like to get paid for that work.
Like everybody else.

Steemit burnt millions failing this far. Nobody is gonna do free work for them now, when compensation in turn is unlikely at this point. Developers of this caliber charge significant consulting rates. Ned had a bunch on staff, which is ordinarily cheaper than consultants. By a magnitudinal scale, but he fucked that all up, and nobody is going to do his homework for him now for free. He still has millions - he better hire somebody that can fix his fuckups, because most of the people who would have contributed for free, left last year or the year before, after witnessing the centralized incompetence.

totally awesome

Exit plan is certainly an interesting theory. Along those lines @ned has been powering down his entire 2M STEEM account. Why?

Know what would be more awesome than SMT? You unpinning this post from the top of all of our feeds. 🎉

Sorry who is this Dan everyone is talking about? And what platform is he creating?

Dear, @ned!

I was brought here by @crypto-piotr and decided to leave a nice supporting comment and say thanks for the impressive work you do on the platform. Whenever your name is mentioned by people I know it is in a very positive context. It would be a pleasure to follow and read you in the days ahead.

Best wishes,

Ravijojla

😂

Thank you for your continued best efforts @Ned!

The amused survivor :)

He was the architect of steem, he created steem.

@atlantica, I think it just shows that he wants everyone to see it, as lately he's been accused of doing nothing.

Anyway glad to see SMTs haven't been completely shelved, and RocksDB sounds important. Ready for the next big rise I hope :-)

Cg

Smart Media Tokens.

Huh, a little reserved for you Bern. I specifically scrolled for your response... puts down popcorn

Would you pretty please unpin your post...

I like how steem host all of its content with pretty "functional" api. I couldn't see any of the blockchain which did it better and survived for heavy usage. It's a great concept. This move also showed how unreliable you guys are with your income source. You guys depended too much on how steem price will go. Did no backup plan at all if the price goes down. No forward thinking whatsoever. Hence the desperate measures.

Smoke also has almost no content and state. A brand new blockchain can run on a Raspberry Pi.

It’s a crap ton of work that if not approved is a huge loss.

And yet you're still here. Time to hit the road Turd

SMT-39 will be the answer

He pinned a post when nobody can do so...That is it. Nobody can pin post on its feed line but the developers can do. All failure seen...

Sorry guys, I don't understand what you are going. To be more precise, I have no idea WHY are you doing/ not doing this?

For example, Why your FB page looks like this? Was this drawn in Paint?

How is it possible you have only 500 Followers?

Why your Tweeter Account is silent for 2 weeks?

Why you don't take a decent camera and microphone for YouTube?

I really don't understand why are you letting simple things being done in such unprofessional way?
It's ruining your reputation. Seriously.

I can't understand how you want to make something worth 100.000.000 $but you don't want to spend 1.000$ for a decent camera, designer and microphone? Or even better, invest 100.000 $ in good marketing

Yep and you’re barely posting so I’ve succeeded.

Dog fucker.

A muscle must be torn before it can grow larger.

Dan Larimer. He is now (or maybe he's already left it, too?) behind the project EOS. Steemit pretty much fell apart after he left last year. Though, as many of us hopefully know, correlation isn't nec. causation... but in this case, there seems to be a strong relationship nonetheless.., imo.

You have just described Holochain. You can thank me later ;PP

Was wondering same thing. That is no bueno. Everytime I pop back into my account, shit is just getting worse, not better :(( I am migrating everything over to Holo/ Holochain, for they are doing what I envisioned everyone else to be trying to do, yet are actually doing it. Feel free to join me; thank me later.

People, people, people... This is the lay of the land for the time being... We are all relatively young here... As is the space itself.. In other words: It's the Wild West. You want gold, you're gonna have to go diggin for it; and ain't nobody liekly to tell ya where it's hidin... Do your own research!! If you don't know a word, look it up!! All this "Wahhh I don't get IT!!" Imo, just means you aren't ready for whatever it is you're attempting to "get" to begin. Nothing here will be spoonfed... that's YEARS down the line, and much much more money behind/ into this before you can have the ease and comfort you apparently seek.

Are u seriously? Steemit not die

You’re so poor I only need to use a 1% vote to oppose your flags. Hahahaha

Nedder, babe, WTF R U even talking bout?
Thought steemit was a website for blogposting and maybe making a little scratch?
DB? SMT? What R they?
How does it fix the fact your website is filled with gamers and scamsters looking to make a quick buck and writing total crappola on the website?

Hi there,
I've just upvoted this post
A small contribution from me, to help the steem community to thrive ;)

As many who have already commented, I believe SMTs are the way to get more value into STEEM. Glad to see things are still going on!

the square root of 69 is 'ate something' XD

wouldnt that be 'chain-ge'

ditto

Hi @maikelblogo

It's very kind that you mentioned my name. Appreciate.

Have a great weekend ahead,
Yours
Piotr

I am glad you are optimistic in this rough times

Hows that investment turning out clown?

Turd Sanders accomplishments in life; trying to stop people from posting on Steemit. You should write a book about it. You're an absolute joke

You mean all those coins I mined for pretty much free? Dumb fuck.

Just like you running away from your dead daddy issues to fuck some ugly dog overseas?

You mean the transparency of not releasing books?

The ire of delayed SMT. You know that it was supposed to be released early this year?

How about how unaffordable RPC nodes, etc. are for average users? They've known that for a while.

It's more than just HF20 and layoffs, you know.

It’s more than just HF20 and layoffs, you know.

That’s all well and good, but you know these issues are the ones being talked about as of late. The only SMT roadmap I saw talked about their release in the first quarter of 2019. I joined in April of this year, so I am unaware of earlier plans. I would be pleasantly surprised if STINC released their books, but I highly doubt that will happen and don’t even really see it as necessary. They fucked up relying on the market to pay people, and failed even with the cushion of the early ninja mine. That’s about as much as I really need to know. I’m gonna venture to say the “average user” cares very little about running their own nodes, and cares more about being able to use this platform without a worry of the whole infrastructure crumbling and everyone leaving.

My faith is less with Steemit Inc., and more with SteemPeak, SteemMonsters, DTube, SteepShot, etc. The things I really use. If STINC dies and they fail to keep the protocol, and therefore these awesome DApps running, then so be it. I’ll be here until it burns to the ground

Hee, hee, thanks for this, I would have missed that entirely!

Fuck there are a lot of moaners on this post. Also a fuck tonne who still can't get it past their thick skulls that STEEM doesn't live or die by steemit. In any case, fair play @geekpowered for a little common sense and for not defaulting to FUD bitching. There is enough of that in the mainstream media.

I'd agree, in all logic if Ned is in a position where a falling STEEM value is putting financial pressure on then powering down and putting it into oh i dunno say a stable coin makes sense. If prices go back up well then whoop de do, he may lose some personal wealth, but then steemit starts to support itself once more. If the STEEM value continues to drop at least he has a pool of reserves to keep the core team going.

Could be another negative reality going on. But really people, FFS how narrow are your crypto holdings that this actually concerns you. If STEEM goes to zero and it impacts on more than 10% of your bottom line investments then well need I say more.

Psit look more token !

Hi @ned

Good to see that the storm is almost over and we are about to move into a recovery phase. Great work on the development of new features and the updated SMT roadmap.

I'm writing this message in the spirit of the #justask movement.
I'm part of a group of independent researchers and writers united by our love and believe in cryptocurrency and the potential disruptive applications it has in different industries. Right now many of us lend our efforts to Oracle-D in its quest to draw investment to steemit.

I would like to request an SP delegation to better curate and encourage newcomers.
I invite you to read my blog for assessment and if you deem it fit, delegate to empower the vision. The delegation amount is at your discretion. You know what's best.

Look forward to your reply whether positive or negative. Cheers.

Nice dick sucking

Define dick sucking?

Lmao

Soon we will have SMT type 1 SMT type 2 SMT type 3 etc

hey Retard, do you think ned kept all of his steem in his ONE single @ned account? he has @steem @steemit @alpha and a lot more with tens of millions of steempower i think he has like 90 million so shut the fuck up! Youre so dumb spreading misinfo and getting upvotes for it

no...no one runs any nodes on android phones bro sorry...
Just no.. LOL

"SERVERS?? SERVERS?? WHY arent we running steem on Potatoes and calculators?!?!

Why, I propose we Hand calculate the hash's and mail them my carrier pidgeon!

oh and the "point" of making the "light" version without the steem core is same reason SpaceX n's first rocket engine looked like this

simple design, and then over time it ended up like this

So as you can see the complexity went up over time, here you can really see the progression

And obviously, Blockchains and Rocket Science have plenty in common, lots of complexity and moving parts. In fact it makes a lot of sense to put all the pieces of a rocket engine on a blockchain, i bet EOS will be used to run all of spacex in the future.

Will robots in space be using paper money or gold bars in space? Hell no theyll use crypto currency.

SMTs should atrtract people in education as students schools and teams in schools can apply for SMTs and have tokens to trade, with parents investing like they do when they go pay for students fundraisers

Imagine kids going door to door but instead of selling girlscout cookies or doing a school fundraiser, they sell ICOs for their schools new Smart Media Token .

Being able to create these SMT lite tokens is going to be really fun for creating placeholder tokens, which every project and their momma is gonna use, and just imagine little nkids getting into this ide athat they can sell LOCKED tokens to their family members, where the tokens can be LOCKED over TIME hah so even if their toikenbs go way up, the adults who paid for this thing wont be even abl=e to sell for a year or two, the kids will time lock the adults in and just pump their own school coins so high... youll be neding so much steem just to buy one of these SMTs... i cant wait foir this to happen...

It has a chance if kids around teh world start using steem for its ease of use and freedom, its free and allows kids to have a global bank account basically... its amazing what a chikd can do on steem, they can become hustlers and have access to a system that lets the transfer millions of dollars instantly for free around the world... allowing them to pay people and even pay other children...and this is key...

so many kids in the past had been blocked by various organizations like paypal from getting to operate because they arent 13 or 18 or whatever arbitrary age... but with steem we see the ability for very young people to even build software projects and fully functioning businesses and sell them to other users for tens of thousands of steem, all through the steem blockchain.... and soon theyll even be able to cash out without any ID... I know netcoins is pretty cool but ya know, u kmay still need an ID but bro i just heard about Coinstar adding crypto... a few other services like Paxos or whatever has steem, man, so cool, feels good with that infrastructure growth, the market is stupid and by netx time market should actualy spill over when the bulls come in, the money should stay and power up and bve used for stuff liek steem monsters and much more.... k im trailing off now...
