- Just the other day I read Tim Cliff talking about digging into Steemit’s codes if ever Steemit Inc stops with their development.*
No. He is digging into STEEM blockchains code. He is NOT digging into steemit incs condenser code, though he has submitted pull requests on the steemit code as well.
They are NOT the same thing, and you sort of seem to understand that in your comment up until the comments about Tim, which are not a correct portrayal of what he is doing at all.
Developers have already made dozens of clones of condenser. MSP has their own version, other witnesses have built spin offs, busy is a spin, zappl is a spin, all the D* sites are spins... they are all interfaces to the steem blockchain, which steemit inc developers currently control and gate on pull requests, even though it's "open source". You cant get a pull request merged without a blessing from stinc. They actually already need to get the hell out of the way and let people who can finish things actually submit things and get them approved.
Steemit.com itself is neglected, mediocre in terms of functionality and could wither and die for all most of us who understand the ecosystem care. There are plenty of other options already to use to talk to the blockchain.
Yes I realize it’s Steem and not Steemit. It’s way past my bedtime and typing on my phone is not always the best way to go with the autocorrect feature. Will make that quick typo change, and respond less ‘spammy’ tomorrow. I drank way too much coffee today and have to get up for work in 3 hours. Thx for pointing it out.
Yeah, as noted, I could tell you knew then it sort of fell apart at the end :)
That’s how my day will be tomorrow. Will probably be awake enough to function with coffee in the morning but start to zone out once the caffeine leaves my system. Good night sircork. :)
Just another 29 hour day and 4 hour nap for me. I'll be here - get some sleep for both of us.:)
No idea how you are getting through your days!
days
That's cute. Do you mean that thing where sometimes I look around and it's lighter outside? It's all a blur.
Just looping around to this comment. I did make my typo correction.
You just taught me something new, never heard of condenser codes (not a developer).
Definitely did not know about this bit. I assumed "open source" meant just that, readily available for the public without constraints. Who knew. :)
Yeah. That's what Open Source is supposed to mean. ;)
Well it is available to the public without constraints and the public can do what ever with it, like starting their own version. But that does not mean that the new changes you make to your version will necessarily be accepted back into the original code used by the original project.
Appreciate the clarification!
He is correct.
