I understand there is a problem, I also hope they get it resolved, what I do not understand is the steem.io style of lets ignore this and not tell any one oops. Steem Monsters has done such a fine job of keeping people aprised of issues and happenings, up until this point. They need a post on the steem page saying at a very bare minimum, we are aware of some issues with Steem Monsters, and it's interaction with the blockchain and are working on resolving the issue. Is it really to much to ask for a PSA to be done by them, or a team member. I understand that the two owners were out of town, they were not however out of touch, they could have asked one of their dev's to do a quick "we are sorry for the inconvenience post'.

I hope they will not let this become a habit for their company, as steem.io has allowed a lack of communications to become a part of their corporate identity.

I totally agree, I was just saying the same thing to my son,that even a simple quick post on Steem Monsters to notify everyone would and should have been done , at least to let us know they are working on the problem. Being away at Steem Fest is no excuse! 🙄

Also i think there is a node update going on.💁

O-kay, I'm not much of a tech type anymore, a node update would indicate it is being done on one of their computers, (as I have seen people talking about updating their computer nodes). An update is generally something that is planed. or so it seems in most cases. So poor planing, poor communications, they could have left a simple we are planing this, and hope nothing goes wrong, post. I guess I am just irritated at the apparent lack of concern for their customer base. I do get and understand that they are busy were busy with promoting their game and such at steemfest. It was a good advertising thing to do.

I do not know how big of a team they have, but to be honest I think they need to get a post out as soon as possible with a quick little update about the current issues. This incident was a serious failing of public relations. Steemit is bad enough toward new users and the limitations they have put on them, to have this also occur and no company information of what is happening is not a good thing. @rentmoney has pointed out it is still in beta, well yes it is, but does that excuse a company, that up until this point, kept their users and future customers up to date and current with plans and what was coming?
