No changes to the Steemit user interface for 6 months? With users crying out for changes all this time?
WTF?
I decided about a month ago, I was very disallusioned with STeemit.
I have been laying low and not posting in the last month. I actually decided to stop posting and just make new friends by commenting on other folks posts.
Not an easy thing to swallow, or DIGEST.
But after reading several weeks; and looking over the chatter, I can see there are many sides to this coin. (no pun)
We all want to see the fucking STEEM price go up. I guess we can all agree on that. Can we please all accept our inner greed enough to admit we are all self oriented as a matter of basic survival?
That said, I wonder at times if Steemit is simply the original “monster app" that got the STEEM ball rolling ?
With so many new STEEM powered or SMT powered apps being announced, I guess this is the real side of STEEM.
It's a blockchain.
It's a blockchain, not a social media app.
In fact, it's one of the most advanced and modern, dare I say, sophisticated tokens available, for many different reasons.
So we have to admit, anything that can be done to put this blockchain front and center, in this hyper-competitive market of blockchains, must be done now.
So kudos to Ned, and I have complete confidence in his ability to sniff this market at any given time and rally the various interests to do the most with what is at hand.
It will be interesting to see SMTs take flight...
I’m sure the first few projects will look GLORIOUS!
And then, reality will set in for a while. Thousands of SMT offers flood the market...
But I tell those that ask me, what do you expect of all this?
I assume, Wall Street has met its match.
And there will be a few blockchain frameworks that replace it with something new.
Meanwhile, Steemit is still the best place in the world to meet new friends, and find new opportunities.
So thanks Ned, Dan, and the Steemit community!
I do agree. At the moment Steemit can be named the best blockchain interface, it's not (yet) a social media app.
VEry interesting insight. I always listen to this guy; he knows what he is talking about..
With Bitcoin at $6000 i think Steem will take a while to rise.
I was wondering where you went. Seriously, I agree steem is very innovative but on the whole, I'm optimistically cautious about all cryptocurrencies, due to their intangible nature. I am fully behind the blockchain technology as I believe it is possibly the closest we'll ever get to transparent market place. As we see the shenanigans of the TBTF being exposed almost daily, I feel it is of the utmost priority that trading needs to become more transparent. Very deep analysis. Thanks for your insight.
the whole community will be watching the big ones that are going to attend.
but the future of steemit is bright...
Hello @surfyogi, I realized that you had disappeared, but I did not imagine that you was a little discouraged ... your rewards are good, I also thought about giving up because sometimes it's just cents, and the platform always falling and without change for the better. But think positive and stick firmly and success in your posts. I believe that at the beginning of next year things will improve, @ned is working for this, let's trust!
I share your feeling.
thanks for infromation! excellent surfyogi
Wow, Hello @surfyogi,
It has been a while, i was wondering where you were all this while. Yah the problem with steemit.come has been very disappointing and discouraging, but i learnt the steem blockchain is sold, so good luck to the future of steem. Welcome back to posting. Steem on.
I was surprised that after the SMTs announcement STEEM stayed up only a few days and then went back to 1 usd. Why do you think is that?
And I completely agree with what you wrote under 1. point.
nice post........
Steemit.com might not be the killer or monster interface that will lead to mass adoption.
But DPOS blockchain could very well be the beast that will change and transform our way of using the internet. Bitshares and Steem are the first ones.
Bitcoin is the first decentralized cryptocoin, it seems being first can proof to be very valuable..
Absolutely agree in every way.
DPOS rules the day, someday, and I wait...
The day might arrive earlier than you think. 2018 just might be the year that everyone sees the power, scalability, capacity, security and speed of DPOS blockchains. EOS, BTS & Steem have been skyrocketing lately :)
This all requires so much patience and I realize I am really good at that...
when this nightmare in my country ends, someday I'll be at one of those steemit events. It really looks spectacular.
Hey ! You should try to use the Steemit Chrome/Firefox Extension created by @armandocat. Your utilisator experience of Steemit will change radically, believe me ;-)
I've read about it, but never tried it, thanks for the suggestion.
Otherwise... there is still Busy :D (I am a busy addict, probably because I arrived later...).
U and I will talk more.

Thankyou for pointing this out to me!
I'm pretty new to Steemit and I'm really happy about the low Steem price. Great opportunity to get in and buy some.
Very well said @surfyogi and presented the truth.
Blockchain wise i still consider it faster. And this is one area steemit has got the edge over all others.
Thank you.
I have no idea what's going on with Steemit.com development - I might go and look through the changes to it's repository in Github and find out where they are at..
By the way, I've been campaigning for being a witness on steemit for the last couple of days and noticed that your vote wasn't logged by the system - it would be super helpful if you would just drop a vote in there for me again whenever you get a moment. Cheers!
I really enjoyed your post.
Also thank you for supporting my witness. I really appreciate your support and I look forward to become an even better witness and person in the future.
Well the new UI just arrived. I'm really not fond of it. This is my first impression. I'm currently looking for another Steem front end cause I can't stand the new Steemit one but I guess that's a detail.
I hope you'll like it, I hope people will like it. I really don't at this moment.
As for Steem being one of the most advance blockchain, I agree. SMT also have me really excited.
Steem really is the best place to make friend. I agree on that too.
I also think Ned is a very capable person and I look forward to work with him and his team and everyone to make Steem the best it can be and to help it serve us the best it can.
I'm also very grateful to the community and the whole Steem journey.
Take care @surfyogi!
In these things we agree, which is nice.
Will be interesting to see if anything else pops out of hat in the next week or so!
And just now the interface of Steemit got changed ;p
I agree with what ur saying, the steem blockchain is what makes it special, the blogging part is secondary.
It's never been marketed and sold that way however, until now.
Looks like that will soon change...
True, it never been advertised that way till the smt's came around the corner. But the underlaying technology has always been what makes Steemit, Steemit.
Hey bro - I just saw your witness vote for me was removed.. Was that deliberate? thanks.
I was playing the the interface (which really is bad!).
I was trying to elect several others as well; only your name showed up.
No it's not deliberate to remove you; I was trying to get a full view of who I have voted for; what interface do you recommend?
Oh, I see, ok - yeah it's in need of some love that's for sure! I've only used that Steemit interface for voting, but I know that @ausbitbank used the command line wallet to make votes too - which is more reliable.
the Ui is changed a little and will do hope it gets better from time to time
keep going buddy .
And i do agree upon the last two lines of yours Thanks to the Members of the Steemit community :)
Yes! Thank you for reading and joining us here again with a post! I am very grateful you made a witness vote for me and appreciate being a fellow author with you here @surfyogi!
I LIKE to COMMUNICATE, to learn, to learn something new and interesting. I believe in a great future. But I hate the fact that many people use all sorts of bots for big payouts. Many people write are just silly nonsense, not spending power. They know that the robot will vote for them anyway and his voice is high - from$ 20 and more. This seems unfair. Would have been better if the whales did not spare their voices, not spent it only on himself, and watched the newcomers and gave them a chance to grow. Many ridicule the comments of those who ask to visit them. But sometimes it's worth to do it in order not to miss the brilliant. I see a lot of great content poluchivshego a few cents. I see a lot of blatant nonsense, which received a$ 50-100 from myself and bots.
Thanks @surfyogi, I agree with your thoughts! I'm glad to communicate here! Have a nice day!
You should start posting again :3 I think you will do wonderful with the amazing curation you spread. I see you everywhere around the blockchain <3 Wish you had post's.
Anyway, Steemit is still in beta and things are being done, kinda.
Nice post
I totally resonate with your opinion. Especially the social media/blockchain part. "Can we please all accept our inner greed enough to admit we are all self oriented as a matter of basic survival?" so true. Interesting and honest content. Much like :) followed
The price will go up, but we have to remember its relatively new platform and its just started, comparing to others, this is a long term investment i believe :) be patient :) hehe
