That's what the rumors say. If they're not true, then please explain why the RPC and the website have been unstable and unreliable for weeks... Besides, I'm not spreading FUD at all, on the contrary, while people on the chats ARE worried, we keep reassuring them that the Steem blockchain is fine, and that's it's the Steemit website which is having trouble. Both facts. And finally, I was expecting you would flag this post. It's sad to see this happen. I'm not going to cry about it, instead, I will invite you to spend one day in the help channel and other chat rooms, take notes of what people are saying, and address those issues face to face. If none of Steemit's staff is willing to do that, the FUD will continue, not by me, but by the whole community.
P.S. Telling us this is FUD and flagging this post (and others too) still doesn't convince me. We need more communication.
