Quick update on Steem-Engine: Today's hiccup

in #steem-engine5 years ago

So, today's hiccup had a few components that we've identified as problematic.

The least of the concerns is the code for scotbot, though that was the source of the error. There was a small edge case that shut down the bot. Holger fixed the edge case and restarted the bot, but didn't restart all parts of the bot so everything crashed briefly. He restarted both and now things are working again.

A couple of challenges of this episode were not having duplicate holgers and not having a good way to reach him in the event of an error. We're working on getting a backup holger. We're working on communications pathways.

This project is still new, and I bet we'll discover more edge cases in the next month or two and they will likely shut down the bot briefly, but if that happens I request that you chill and wait cause we got this. All the data is on the blockchain, we fix the thing, replay the block, and botta-boom you get your tokens.

Anyway, this will likely take a few weeks to plan, give notice, and shift. It's coming. Sorry for the inconvenience, but we'll get better because of this.

Upgrades

As it turns out it's probably time for some server upgrades. Steem-Engine has some steady income and the size of the db is growing so we'll work on getting some faster and bigger servers deployed. This takes planning. It might even take a little bit of downtime. So, if in the next week or two you see "undergoing maintenance" dont' freak out. We're just making steem-engine better, faster, and future proofing some.

Attorneys

I'm not going to go into too much detail just yet. But let's just say the vision of steem-engine as a place where securities are traded is inching closer.

Onboarding

Working on a solution to mass onboarding using steem-engine. I hope to have some more announcements.

Keychain mobile

Looking to get a mobile version of keychain or something with its utility moving... maybe I'll have more to report.

Steem-engine mobile

Anyone have mobile dev skills? Come hit me up in Discord.

Partiko

Anyone know how to get in touch with partiko? I'd like to speak with them! Yes, it's Scot related... see where this might go?

All systems green and growing

Thanks for your patience and support. Glad to work with this community. Looking forward to helping your token economy grow.

Sort:  

Minds.com wants to talk to you, too.

I dm'd you on discord, but you've been busy.

If you have a minds account just message ottman, the aren't near as class snobby as some folks here.
Switching them from eth to steem would be a big deal, iyam.

That would be awesome!

I'd volunteer in helping onboard them from the technical side once intentions are clear.

Ikr, message them on minds.
It's been weeks since they asked me to put them in contact with aggie.

I gave them your steemit link as a person that could help.
It's been weeks since he reached out to me.
If you message ottman on minds, he should answer.

Funny thing. I have just reviewed this project little bit. Minds.com have already 1kk users (according to the Whitepaper). Wondering why I was not aware of such project being available in the crypto world.

What does it mean? Same rule is applied to the STEEM. No one known it does exist. Even this project is far from perfect shape - still, no one known it exist. Sad.

Yes, we are early adopters, for sure.
The halls are still empty, but it's built, the people will come.

OMG! Ottman wants to switch Minds from ETH to Steem?!? Holy $@!#, do you know how incredible that would be? Minds has a huge user-base, and having them using Steem/Steem-Engine to power their own token system would be nothing short of incredible!

@Aggroed, you absolutely need to contact Bill Ottman on Minds and find out if this is true!

Slowly breathe, it was weeks ago but aggie never answered so idk if he is still interested.
I put reggaemuffin's name out there, we'll see what happens.

I doubt it is what you think. That would be a massive change and their token works fine with their off-chain/on-chain token system. Honestly, Steem needs to take a lesson from what they did.

My bet is that Minds just wants to get their token pegged on the SE market.

I reached out and never heard back.

Oh, ok, well, i hit him up again today, guess we can't do much else.

IDK if you have a Minds account or not, but you could try messaging him directly on there and see if he replies. He almost always answers his DM's.

If Minds moves to Steem via Steem-Engine, I propose Aggroed for president! ;)

That would be huge

Yep.
If you have a minds account you can lobby him yourself.
They answer their messages.

I never had one - maybe I should get one now :D

If you don't care about the account, you don't even have to give them an email.
Or didn't the last I knew.

Minds would be awesome to have on Steem. Would be biggest news of this season, I think.

Open an account there and message ottman.
He should answer.

Partiko is the best blockchain app in existence. Hands down.

Tradable partiko tokens would be awesome

I think the vision was always to do that. He was just waiting for SMTs to happen.

FYI: @rmcuenen is an experienced Sr. "Backend Developer" and is starting to get acquainted with Steem / Steemit.

You might be able to use his software development skills and he said he isn't shy about pursuing web development @aggroed @holger08

Hmmm @patriko with its own coin 🤔😬

Hey @Partiko, @Aggroed would like to talk to you. He wants to introduce you to the Steem-Engine! ;)

Wow, Scot and partiko? Maybe ScotPartiko 😂
Looking forward all the plans

If You message @crypto.talk on the partiko messenger he usually reply in the same day 😉 I think You can reach him there 👍

I don't have partiko on muh phone. Can you dm him for me and ask him to reach out to me on Discord?

I have just messaged him 👍 let's see if he reply or reach you 😉

Onboarding and keychain mobile ... very exciting to me. Great work. Very impressive.

Excited about keychain mobile.

Is also partiko discord and I have his wechat if you need @aggroed

A Partiko collaboration would be a dream - great Mobile App with a heavily engaged community base. Hopefully you will be able to get in touch with founder Sida, @Crypto.talk on discord (Partiko Discord Channel)

Now you got me thinking... but I like the "Roadmap" so far.

I had a distorted big blue circle with letters on my wallet page.
And after that the wallet was not accessable.
Puhh, I thought I was hacked.
I am so happy with my steem-engine experience.
Thanks for having buildt it up.

A couple of challenges of this episode were not having duplicate holgers

If you find out a way to create some back up Holgers, make an army.

Hey @aggroed you contact partiko by emailing at ( support@partiko.app) hope this helps

Great progress...

If help is needed with ops/procedures/comms, pls do let me know.
