It's hard to keep up with all the development on the Steem blockchain.
It's a lot of fun to see it all unfold.
First, we had the announcement of the Smart media tokens, 20 days ago, and from that followed the announcement of Appics.
The first App that will utilize an SMT. Here
Busy.org Beta
Today I checked out the Busy.org new (private) beta site.
I have been using busy.org more frequently because there are some troubles at times with Steemit.com when it comes to voting and posting (hangs sometimes).
Busy.org works very fast and does NOT require a new account. Also, Busy.org does not take a fee from anything you create on there. ZERO FEE.
You can use the same credentials as you use on Steemit.com. (I highly recommend using your posting key only.)
The new site has a modern feel to it but still looks very clean. Navigation is much better! And the editor is very nice. Some features are still missing.
To get into the private beta check out this post
Utopian.io
Utopian.io enables everyone to contribute to Open Source projects by providing Ideas, Code contributions, Graphics or Social exposure and be rewarded for that with Steem.
What an amazing idea! I talk about it more in my vlog
Fabian is the CTO of busy and Ekitcho is the CEO.
Thanks for clearing that up.
True.. development these days is progressing rapidly on Steem Blockchain, thanks @exyle for sharing about utopian.io , looks interesting.
yes its been really hard coming online this past few days and the posting issue to solve it, you just have to make a backup of your writeup that way if it disappears before posting, all you have to do then is copy and paste also commenting and upvote you can as well use esteem app for Android if you not use to busy.org it also has a nice interface and different options you can as well post with it
@otemzi I had the same problem an hour ago. I actually had to try 3 times before it posted. I use Evernote to save a copy before I post that way I don't have to panic if I lose my working copy. @exyle Busy.org works fine, but I like steemit.com interface better. I guess I am used to here.
lol exactly I normally use word to type and edit already used to the special key signs now, I only copy to markdown when i want to post, then after uploading required pictures I remake another backup, you can never be too careful and yes busy.org looks kinda foreign probably because am used to steemit and esteem
@exyle Just Curious if you are adding anymore STEEM today at these prices under $1.00 ?? I purchased some more LTC since I like to purchase it when it pullsback 10% or more in the 24 hour period...........Thank You for all the Great Stuff that you Post.
I am. I bought 100SBD worth this morning.
That's what I like. Putting your money where your mouth is. Nice Job @exyle.
Out of BBChain, Esteem and Busy.Org, I liked busy org the most because it does not charge 15% like BBChain. Whereas Esteem is only good for mobile devices. Though we have now these alternate options for Steemit and there are more being created yet none of these replaces the feel and becomes the comfortzone for the users. So, I hope Steemit gets back to its normal routine and is not down at times the way it's even in a single day.
Thanks for the valuable post @exyle.
Steem On!
its good to see such platforms as steemit is having some real problems in the main front end can't even able to use it properly thanks that we have such options available
Just read a post today where it says that the next hard fork may happen sooner than we'd expect. A bug was found in the code and it's marked as high priority hardfork bug.
Aren't the blockbrothers also working on an app on top of the blockchain? Would love to see what you guys are up to!
Interesting. Do you have a link to the post? Yeah, we are working on a small app. But it's nothing like these huge projects.
I sure do, here it is: https://steemit.com/witness-category/@dragosroua/hardfork-0-20-0-might-be-closer-than-we-think-and-no-it-s-not-the-one-enabling-smt-yet
https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues/1655
About time this came up again, Steemit has been really wonky these days, posts sometimes go missing after clicking the post button or it just hangs there until I have to press the refresh button. I am not sure what the impact for Steemit.com if most users migrate over to Busy.org, but I am sure Steemit and guys really gotta look into the underlying issues that is causing all the inconveniences.
Thanks for sharing such an important information about the fee free Busy.organigation.You people are great, innovative, organising new ideas.Thanks.
Nice. I noticed that steemit.com has problem with comments and upvotes. I will try busy.org out. Thanks for the information.
I noted it, too. Occurred 2 da. ago.
Yah i hope they get it fixed soon.
@exyle,
STEEM block chain is showing a rapid development than other block chains! Yesterday I heard about "Utopian.io"! And you told about Appics! So, I smell huge improvement of this block chain than other chains! So, future seems GREEN and sometimes we can enjoy huge price up too! Great vlog and nice article as always!
Cheers~
So much technological advancement. Having steemit alternatives is also very good, their servers having going up and down recently. Thanks man for sharing this.
wow the beta version looks even cooler than what i thought simply outstanding one that is and the development this has is simply freaking cool :)
I also took some time to check busy.org out today. First impression is very good :)
busy.org should also add Comments they have added replies is there any comments checking link ? :P @exyle ?
Do you think busy.org is or will become a better front end to the blockchain than steemit is?
nice post @exyle, it's nice to hear that busy.org launches the beta phase and it's actually great and i agree with your thoughts that it's so fast, you also talk about Utopian.io and no doubt it's another fantastic development and the great thing is that even the minnows like me can able to contribute in this project and get rewarded, i also try it soon, thank you my friend for staying us up to dated with current developments, Stay happy and have a fantastic week ahead.
Now 300K actually
THANKS FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO ABOUT UTOPIAN.IO!
Thank should take advantage, and then Steemit often hangs.
It's a very exciting time for Steemit fans and users. I hope it continues the same way!
lol
ha ha nice post........
Nice post thank for sharing
Your story is good. We have received some information in this.
Great post :)
I've heard about busy.org, I'll give a try sometime
we have to work hard to development on the steem blockchain.....
@exyle - Sir, I like your Busy.org review.... I'm using it frequently due to the unavailability of Steemit.... As you said before Sir, SMT will make the path to moon & we will be the winners Sir.... Therefore, I wish to ReSteem your post.
+W+ [UpVoted & ReSteemed]
Well that was pretty informative. Thank you.
early to bed , and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise!!
that is damn true..
great post .
Fantastic one
wow man so much of development is going so things are moving fast and its great we have you that share the best of all with us :)
Love the creativity! best wishes.
utopian hearing about it first time and everyone can contribute in it that's really makes it special great work goings on around steem blockchain which is very good signs
Great post :)
wonderful post and narrative. Thank you for sharing!
I like it post, I use to for comment and give upvotes is quickly when Steemit is down lets go to Busy.org have all the features of Steemit only need adaptacion for use as the principal page, and y more intuitive the way of navegation
now we have so many options sometime i feel which one to use first the developers are doing some amazing work for all of us
thanks for your sharing , nice post !
Yeah busy.org is a very good way for posting. I had posted from it and the feedback is nice. I am sure it will be successful :)
It's hard for steemit not to have some sort of exponential growth. Never has there been such a platform so decentralized and with such noble aim of providing valuable incentives and rewarding users for their opinions with no form of bias whatsoever.
Utopian.io is the next best thing for open source(thank you @elear), I used the platform recently to post a documentation I'd written for UNDERSTEEMED a very nice tool developed by @tabris. If you are a developer or anyone for that matter and you think you have wonderful contributions to offer the steemit open source community do check out utopian.io
It's very encouraging that people see lots of possible believe in this platform enough that they want to keep contributing to its growth so it doesn't become obsolete, I think that's the beauty and driving force behind the upward spike of this platform.
Thank you @exyle for sharing this, you are the best
Will try that out and seems some problem is going on steemit hope it will be fixed soon enough :)
super
