It's basically something simple that was forgotten in the race to satisfy the discontented plebs. Shit happens, I guess. But we are going to do our best to make sure it's fixed. I have filed an issue about it on the github for the steemit.com interface.

Its not an oversight. He doesn't have a slider because he's only got about a buck in his wallet. Not enough vests yet. Too new.

So why does eSteem have the slider for everyone? It was kept away from minnows before because they would otherwise probably exceed their bandwidth quota. This is also why the block size needs to be changed, you would see from steemd.com/~witnesses an increasing number of witnesses are calling for 128kb blocks (131072). This will be necessary for increased transactions. Unlike bitcoin, it should be a smooth transition.

because... block chain... decentralized....code whatever you can that "works?" I guess?

Will do and will probably resteem once I read it too. Thanks buddy!

You don't have a slider ,because you don't have 1M vests (a specific amount of steem) in your wallet. You have an empty wallet. You will get a slider when you get up around 500-ish SBD in your wallet.
