RE: RocksDB and SMTs Announcement

in #steemit6 years ago

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?

Sort:  

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. 😎]

Thank you for the clarification.

Thanks! 😊

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

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 😅

Thanks. I saw the 70% thing but I didn't understand the whole SMT thing. Thanks for clearing that up for me @d00k13. As always I can count on you!

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.
