So I was listening to Ivan on Tech's analysis on it and something really blew my mind in a negative way. They talked about how Voice can't be launched until EOS 1.8 and they're replaying the chain right now to do it. And this is the crazy part to me, they've been replaying for a couple of weeks already and they're 1/3rd of the way done. But the inital blocks are only half full, so going forward it will take way more time to do the rest of the 2/3rds. So it takes them 3 months to replay the chain when it's only been out for a year? How is that acceptable.
Anyway, I registered for a beta test, but not really hyped about it. I at least want to try it out so I wouldn't be talking out of my ass when Voice comes up in a conversation. So far it looks like they're going in the opposite direction of Steem - controlled and hard to get into, whereas Steem is moving towards full freedom and ease of use. I don't know if you had anything to do with 3Speak's incubation solution, but it's freaking brilliant. That needs to be pushed hard and made standard for all dapps. This is the type of thing that brings in the masses. I mean come on, I can tell my buddies to just login with their FB, Google or Twitter account to get instant access like any social media site, plus the added bonus of earning Steem for their activity. And if they want full control over their funds, then claim the account. You can't make getting into crypto any easier than that. This kind of stuff makes me unbelievably bullish on Steem. And it's not like it's the only cutting edge development, this is something that happens here almost daily.
