This morning I visited my friend @s3rg3 for a coffee. He's an active Steemian and likes to think, just like me, about the future of the Steem blockchain.
It's a lot of fun to talk about it and come up with new ideas.
One of the downsides I can see when it comes to Steemit.com, for instance, is that it portrays everything that happens on the blockchain.
This wasn't a problem before because Steemit.com was all there was.
But new platforms are being built on the Steem blockchain and soon Zapple (Twitter), for example, will be released and I can see some problems arising.
My friend @s3rg3 likes twitter. He will most likely like Zappl and he will use it many times a day.
But now my feed on steemit.com will be full of his Zappl postings. Making a mess. (Not his fault, just the way it works)
If I use the Zappl app though I will only see Zappl content and not Steemit.com content. That's way better.
But it goes further.
All the apps that use STEEM(power) as their token of choice will most likely have the same authors trending as on Steemit.com.
That could be boring.
This can (will) be fixed with SMT's. New tokens on the Steem blockchain that can be used on different apps giving new power to new tokens holders.
The whole beauty for me is that there will be one underlying system to run it all.
The Steem blockchain.
I talk about these ideas in my vlog.
History repeats itself.
Steemit will be like the big Facebook
SMT will be like the secret group on steemit, just like facebook.
SMT will only use steem blockchain to operate. Just like ERC-20 token.
Steemit one day will be like an advertising platform for SMT to advertise and acquire new members.
Just like The Lord of the Rings
“One chain to rule them all”
But from a visibility perspective, I see more use of filters becoming a requirement.
I like that!
There surely has to be filters to hide other apps like Zappl appearing on an already busy feed!
Maybe there would be option in steemit to filter/hide other platform posts. Lets wait and see.
nice video my friend, it means that every body has to start from scratch to become popular in every SMT, well then it's so much opportunities created for every body and we have the option to select the best one, but the cool thing is that steem remains best of the best because every token build on top of steem blockchain so it directly empower the steem coin, well it's also a great opportunity for new steemians, if they found difficulties in steemit.com they can use other SMT's frontends, you are absolutely spot on there is so much going on and it will be great to see how actually it works practically, well all these developments ensures more that steem has great future indeed, Stay blessed my friend and enjoy your weekend, thanks for sharing your knowledge and inflammation with us.
I'm literally reading this post and replying on esteem because steemit is down again. Are the ddos attacks still going on? Or is this a new threat? It would be nice to know the reason for the recent downtime.
It most likely has to do with steemit displaying everything on the steem blockchain, just as you'd mentioned. Too many requests on the public RPC node could be another issue.
I don't know yet what is causing it. For now, it seems to work again.
Changes are coming to the websites that access the blockchain. I envision a group on modular filters that can be installed or removed from the individual websites. I have no evidence this is happening, but suspect it will be. Participants in each app or SMT will not wish to see all content on the blockchain, but may desire to access more than one.
@exyle Just like I said yesterday this will be very exciting for everyone that is here on STEEMIT now and those that will be here in the Future. There is in my opinion so many POSITIVE aspects of being one of the early adopters of STEEMIT.
It would indeed be very logical that the steemit blockchain will become more important than steemit.com. We will see more and more projects being built on top of the steemit blockchain.
New communities will make it soon a bigger platform and help each users to grow from the scratch that would be great
@exyle - Sir, you talked about a very sensitive content about Steem block chain.... And it's still at Beta level... So, everything will fix soon.... Moreover, with SMT concept we can see huge improvement of all existing Steem apps too.... Nice discussion Sir... Therefore, I wish to ReSteem your post.
+W+ [UpVoted & ReSteemed]
When these new apps will be available, I think lots of people will be absent on steemit.com, considering that rewards are good too, especially for those who are making few here.
Thanks for sharing such a valuable and great facts about blockchain. Please stay connected with new information and idea.
great example used there by you for telling about the different ways of accessing the block chain great vlog thanks for sharing
Thanks!
The potential of SMT is HUGE. And if the team succeed to develop it properly, it could one of the most promising technology in the blockchain.
Just thinking about all those website out there attracting millions of views and that they could linked Steemit directly to them give me goosebumps haha.
@exyle,
Actually it's a hurt! Moreover DTube integration with STEEMIT also hurt sometimes! I think we are using one chain but those thing might be separated from each other! Hope STEEMIT dev team will look forward them and will fix these issues soon!
Thanks for highlighting them!
Cheers~
The only thing that is constant is change, so new tokens is bound to be added to the steem blockchain, but the steem block chain will remain there and the same.
So to just see things posted on Steemit and not stuff posted with Zappl, Steemit than perhaps could make a filter for everyone to use. So, for example, you then could choose yourself to only see someones Steemit posts made here instead of the posts created elsewhere.
That's the beauty of steem blockchain we all love interesting times ahead where we will see more news and updates coming out : )
its good idea, but problem we need to focus more on steemit , because thousand of people dont care about tokens but care about steemit.com and it lags last week even cant comment,upvote,post and so on. If they abandone steemit and focus more on tokens then it can not be good thing, We need some site to show stability for new potential tokens.
it seems to be for sure it will be the main hub and all the other will take advantage of the steem block chain :D
I see s3rg3 has been reading up and chatting with you about SMT - his feed is lighting up like a Christmas tree today! Hopefully this will mean presents for all SP holders next year 😁
As an aside, I'm trying to gather a list (most recent blog) and a short brief of 'regular' and guest attendees to SF2.
If you and Bianca think it's a good idea and have a few mins, that would be cool.
Have a good day and evening man, maybe alternate water and liquid gold?! 👍🏾
Haha, he loves it!
I'll check out your blog
Thanks man, much appreciated.
I'll drop the link in the blog to your interview, which I'm just about to watch.
Cheers!
You're lucky, Sylvia can only take about 5 minutes a day and then rolls her eyes and mutters 'sudden death' haha :)
Zappl is rocking everywhere and i still dont know what is it :( am i the only one ? :P
I feel the transparency of the steem blockchain is one of it's key selling points. I'm sure they will be ways to circumvent any side effects of this.
IS a great news about Steem blockchain
Morning all , i just want to say, upvote is free and you not paying for it, you guys can help each other to earn more money.
Best Regard

I like your post. @exyle I have followed you
dear my friend thanks. I am sure very good sharing. I'm starting to read it now. I wish you continued success. I will continue to follow you. Take care of yourself, my dear friend.
classy my friends , It is nice to follow you. follow up
@exyle So much information thanks for sharing.
nice video!
superb, follow up . Thank you very much ..
Thanks for shearing your video with us
Do you mean steemit will eventually be a thing of the past ? With more upcoming apps choosing to use SMTs instead.
interesting your post...
thanks for sharing...
Fantastic post!
I am a new steemians, maybe i should study first with you, regards know me..
So to just see things posted on Steemit and not stuff posted with Zappl, Steemit than perhaps could make a filter for everyone to use. So, for example, you then could choose yourself to only see someones Steemit posts made here instead of the posts created elsewhere.
nice post..bro
Interesting. Still waiting eagerly for that SMT
yeah may be but may be not. It all depends on the usage of steem.
Very interesting to hear this future view of steemit @exyle. I can totally agree with this. steemit already is already far too "crowded" in its feed to make it possible to find the content you might want to see.
I would see steemit morphing into something like a **steemit-raw data source **but with users accessing it through many, many different niche-steemits on top for different subject areas, but not accessing it directly anymore.
For example I am involved in the homesteading community on steemit. It could be far more effective to have a homestead specific interface - let's call it homesteemers.com - that only shows posts tagged with say #homesteading, #prepping, #gardending etc.
My question now would be whether it would be better to do this as a niche-filter-site running on steem and steempower? Or would it better to take the separation one step further and just run a Homesteaders site on a SMT foundation?
I am trying to work through the pros and cons of each option.
I am guessing running with the steem based filter site has the big advantage of having known value in its steem 'currency'. Whereas with an SMT site the token has to find its own value in the market as I understand it.
Running with an SMT site would of course give far more flexibility - although I believe as it is on the steem blockchain the site would still be subject to the rules such as no editing after 7 days, no deletions etc etc.
I would appreciate your thoughts on the two options.
Many thanks
If I could just figure out a way to earn it other than curation. I just can't seem to find my niche.
very nice story!
Yes it will over time and other platform will leverage from it
the main core of smt was keep the steem in focus and developing others thing around it which will definitely have a good growth results
Good point. I believe SMTs will give the Steem blockchain a new life.
Thanks for introducing Zappl to me. I will for sure give it a try.
As long as the Steem blockchain can handle all the transactions and can scale then I cant seem any problems.
As far as I understand it, the Steem blockchain is one of the best blockchains in existence.
great example used there by you for telling about the different ways of accessing the block chain great vlog thanks for sharing
That doe sounds great but the amount of load steemit gets sometimes it does not able to get cope up with the situation and things goes out of hands .Some issues are still there to be fixed and to go ahead we shall be prepared for every sort of actions .
Nicely described buddy
