SteemWorld ~ Weekly Support ~ #1
Continuing undefined journey into better worlds...
Don't ask me how I ended up here but I'm currently in the process of implementing an own STEEM Market on SteemWorld. It's really exciting to get back into HTML5 Canvas development as I did a few years ago when I was building Android apps and later starting to convert them to HTML5 browser games. There seems to be something in that direction planned in future but that's all still kind of a SteemWorld secret... :)
The orderbook component is being drawn on a normal 2D Canvas context and I'm going to add a few additional functions to it in the coming days. It is already available on the site but the buttons for creating and removing market orders are still disabled, because I need to test the whole thing before it is ready to be used.
Default view
Zoomed view
The visible range depends on (real) available market data. That's why it looks a bit different than the orderbook in the Steemit Market. After I was thinking about it for a while I came to the conclusion that the orderbook on Steemit is misleading and should definitely be revised.
Here is a screenshot of the current orderbook on Steemit:
Nothing special and all fine? Looks flat like a pancake and one might think that there are not many orders on the bid side in the internal market, but...
Take a look at the fascinating, hidden reality:
(the blue area in the image is not 100% accurate and it is just an abstract drawing of how it should look like, nevertheless it is still more correct than the existing orderbook view)
There are a few issues regarding displaying a correct/usable orderbook with the Steem API. There is a limit (1000 each on the ask and bid side) for the number of orders that one can receive from the public nodes. For Steemit's own nodes the limit seems to have been changed to 500. Both limits are way to low in my eyes. The more orders are sitting on the same/near price levels the flatter the rest will look. The biggest problem is that the flat area eventually should look like exact the opposite (more orders -> more higher tops).
Seeing it from an external perspective an investor could ask himself something like: "Is Steem dead or why are there so few buyers in the orderbook?" Hmm... No, they are just not being displayed in there.
Maybe that's one reason why I'm here...
In the making
Orders / Market
I want the open orders to be displayed directly in the Orderbook, so that they can be moved to a different price per mouse and they then will automatically be cancelled and reopened at the new price. Some minor changes to the layout may still come in the next days. As soon as I've tested all functions and I'm satisfied with the result, the disabled buttons will be enabled and the Market will be available.
Hardfork 20
Preparations for coming changes in HF20, especially curation rewards calculation and support for new operation types.
Healing my broken foot
I wouldn't have thought that it could take so long for my injury to heal completely, but it's getting better and I can walk again normally. Feels still a bit strange and not stable for any jumping actions, but I'm on my way I guess... Be glad that I don't have to program with my foot ;)
Recent Updates
As I'm currently putting all my time in the new market features, there are not many other major changes on the site that need to be addressed here.
Just a small one in Settings:
Account Operations - Show vote amounts for outgoing votes:

Pancake
Nice job bro @steemchiller... loved the market session. It would be good to have a candle graph as well if possible.
Thank you so much one more time for your effort on building this awesome tool for #Steemit!
@steemchiller, your pancakes are ready!

Wo what is this? A bot service? I want some yummy, profitable pancakes, keke.
Yo, but you need to add the ! in front of the word ;) Just like !popcorn
Oh haha, i understand that I need the ‘!’ In front of pancakes, but I didn’t want to call the pancakes. I just wanted to know what is the purpose of it and popcorn?
It doesn't really have a purpose, just for fun and because we can... ^^
Oh haha. That’s cool! How about some ice cream too? I scream for ice cream.
Thank you for posting this update...very thorough as well....including an answer to the query we all had concerning your foot.....glad to hear it is coming along nicely @steemchiller.
You know you needed at Whaleshares.....have you any plans in that direction?
I do have another query....do you have a post concerning delegations through Steemworld?
The query is this..... How does one end the delegation?
All the best to you.
Cheers!
Thank you! There are (now) two ways to remove a delegation:
Whaleshares? Nothing planned.
Cheers!
Thank you @steemchiller for the information and the 'new' X button....will have a look.
Yes....Whaleshares.io....here is the link..

You will see loads of Steemians there.
Cheers!
OFF TOPIC – URGENT MESSAGE – TECHNICAL AFFAIR
Hi @steemchiller. Ist es bei Dir auch schon Abend? Jetzt ist es ca. 11:15 Uhr und meine SteemWorld–Zeit berichtet unter TODAY bereits von 19 Uhr.
GUCKST DU SCREENSHOT:
Oben rechts findest du CEST und UTC zum Zeitpunkt der Aufnahme. Nun schau die Zeiten der letzten Blockchaineinträge für meinen Account!
Moin @afrog oder sollte ich 'Guten Abend' sagen? Bei mir sind die Zeiten in Ordnung. Für die Berechnung der Zeit wird UTC genommen und in deine lokale Zeitzone umgewandelt. Dabei scheint es ein Problem zu geben. Hast du die Konfiguration in deinem System geändert? Mich wundert, dass oben in der Leiste UTC angezeigt wird...
Ich werde das nachher mal mit VM und anderer Zeitzone testen. Auf jeden Fall habe ich nichts in dieser Richtung geändert in den letzten Tagen.
Edit:
Gerade gesehen, dass in der Leiste auch CEST angezeigt wird. Deine Systemzeit ist also wahrscheinlich CEST. Merkwürdig, aber ich schau mir das nachher mal an.
Natürlich ist meine Systemzeit CEST. Die UTC–Anzeige habe ich nur in die Leiste gepfriemelt, damit ich mir nicht merken muss, wie weit die UTC von der CEST entfernt ist.
Ich schätze mal, dass es gar kein Problem der SteemWorld ist. Schließlich bist du einer, der weiß was er tut. Außer beim Fahradfahren, etc.
Viereinhalb Tage vor der Hardfork, nach einem Blackout ist es sehr viel wahrscheinlicher, dass die Steemit Inc. mal wieder Pfusch auf der Blockchain treibt. Späterhin werden sie es selbstverständlich als heroischen Erfolg abfeiern. In den offiziellen Steemit– Verlautbarungen grüßt uns ja immer wieder das positiv glucksende Murmeltier altkommunistischer Schönfärberei. Falls von denen überhaupt jemand entdeckt, dass sie gerade wieder Pfusch treiben. Seit 8 Uhr UTC hat niemand was gemerkt. Man feiert noch den Sieg, einen Blackout nach 11 Stunden behoben zu haben.
Die Blockchain arbeitet nur mit UTC, daher ist ein Node-Fehler eher unwahrscheinlich. Für die Berechnung der lokalen Zeit nutze ich Moment.js. Ich habe gerade nochmal auf die neueste Version aktualisiert, aber vermutlich wird das nicht viel ändern (du könntest es jetzt per F5 nochmal damit testen). Hast du einen neuen Browser oder irgendwelche Systemeinstellungen bzgl. der Zeitzone geändert? Steemnow zeigt doch nur die UTC-Zeit oder wird dir da die richtige, lokale Zeit angezeigt?
Falls das Problem noch bestehen sollte, werde ich deine lokale Zeit irgendwo auf der Seite anzeigen oder ein Log in der Konsole hinzufügen. Bei mir ist nach wie vor alles in Ordnung. Habe eben nochmal den Zugriff auf die Seite von Hawaii aus getestet und die Zeit war ebenfalls ok.
Jetzt habe ich UTC im Panel abgeschaltet. Nutzt aber nichts. Ist ja auch egal ob gestern, oder in der Zukunft. Solange ich weiß wo das Jetzt ist, erscheint mir der Rest gleich.
Steemnow zeigt die abgelaufene Zeit seit Erscheinen auf der Blockchain. Das wird richtig angezeigt. Ich habe mir selbst geantwortet. Pfleger! Hallo Pfleger! Immer wenn man sie braucht, sind sie beim Essen.
Es wird immer witziger. Jetzt haben wir gestern miteinander über die Zeit geschrieben. Heute war so gut wie noch nichts los. Ist der Timelord in der Nähe?
Bei https://steemnow.com/@afrog ist aber alles in Ordnung. Es scheint nicht die Blockchain zu sein.
Thank you so much for your work 👍

I am really happy to support your efforts with a 100% vote, I really enjoy using what you have put together and you should be rewarded for it... keep up the good work
Hey, I just discovered the new Transaction Info feature, but it isn't entirely clear to me what number means what. That's an example for one of my transactions:
What does the last number stand for?
The operation number in the transaction? If yes, I think it's flawed, since it showed 0 for all of the operations in a bundled transaction (I checked on that)
That's part of the coming transaction explorer. The order of the values may still change but they will be clickable and open the explorer to show all details of that transaction/op.
The last number is the field 'op_in_trx' and it comes directly from the account history plugin of the connected node. I didn't check if the number shows the correct op index, but I know that it can differ from node to node. And of course there are also virtual operations to be handled a bit differently. If it should not be possible to retrieve the exact op index I will remove it and use my own op hash sum to jump to a specific op in the explorer.
Hey @steemchiller, best wishes and Go on with your good work. I‘m looking forward to the results. You’ve got my support and I left a 100% upvote.
Thank you @steemchiller for your hard work, it is really difficult to imagine the life on Steemit without Steemworld. it is a navigator, compass, reflector of everything what is going on on platform, your own records and there is really everything what a simple user can wish .
From the point of program developer it is easy for you at one glance to see what needs to be improved and what is not ideal. As you may know the creators are never feel that their creation is perfect, like with painting (my main hobby is painting and creating Art) even when it is displayed on exhibition but not sold, then still we take them home and change7improve something. The painting never finished.
It is good knews to know that your heal is recovering and you are able to bear your weight. I do not know is it was a fracture and required operation or just simple strain or rupture of ligaments, but being a surgeon I know how tricky it might be with feet and hands injuries. I wish you good recovery and thank you for supporting Steemit with your wonderful program :)
many things broken on steemit.com, glad to have someone like you playing around with this stuff :-)
Nice! @johnnyparvez
Wow @steemchiller! Taking on building a Steem market?! You must've been bored with nothing to do ... 😉
Maybe. Definitely. Seriously, I for one am certainly glad you are here. And I am equally certain I am not alone in expressing that.
Yes! 😉 Glad to hear it is on the mend. Hopefully next report you can let us know you are back to your old self (the one that knows when to stop ...)!
Until we "meet" again, all the best to you for a better tomorrow. 👍

This is absolutely awesome! Taking on the internal market now (the only one I think was handled at the front-end only on steemit.com so far). What will be next? :)
Can you give me any tips on how I can speed up the performance on the page if it is slow and unresponsive for several seconds? I get redundant "comment options" filling my feed list that should not be there. Changing the refresh rate to a slower rate isn't helping the page stay responsive longer. I can tell the page is becoming unresponsive when the cursor gets stuck on the hand icon or the arrow icon, and the page won't scroll.
Maybe this is a bandwidth issue because so many people use the site? It could be my PC, because Chrome tends to use a LOT of my memory when I have a few tabs open.
I'm happy to hear any info you care to share.
There can be many reasons for a bad browser performance. Many open tabs are never a good idea, especially not when there are heavy scripts or browser plugins being used in background. It could also be related to old graphics drivers or a very old pc. I noticed that my browser gets really slow when I have the Steemit Market opened in background. You could try to only open new tabs when you really use them.
The issue regarding the 'comment_options' operation only occurs with Steemit's own nodes. Their nodes return random numeric values in the field 'percent_steem_dollars' and not the actual value from the blockchain. Since I build a hash sum of the data for each operation to detect new operations, the hash changes with each refresh and SteemWorld can't distinguish between new and old ops. (reference: https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues/2912)
I have now fixed it temporarily by changing the value of that field to a fixed '?' so that the hash won't change for the same operations.
I have a nice PAID business proposition for you. Please contact me through Steem chat or discord when you have some time. Steemworld is awesome by the way.
AWESOME!
I am an old Follower, Bronco Man... Great to see you out and about!
I'd love to talk to you sometime, I have a project going to where I'd like some IRL business experiences infused into the thing. Ever heard of the Dolphin Council? I'm seeking knowledge for that effort :-)
I have not heard of it. Hit me up on Discord. I'm Broncnutz there too.
Thank you so much for doing Steemworld, @steemchiller! I am grateful and think that the prompt you added in on Steemworld is a smart move! After all, we should do the most we can to support your work too after you facilitate us with such a useful platform.
I think I should have left the show outgoing votes price hidden, it is so depressing. Oh well, it will get better when the price rises, it is what it is.
I don't use the outgoing votes feature either, because it just shows information that we already know. That's why I hide these amounts by default.
As long as BTC can hold the support at $6000 for a few more days it looks like the correction is over and we will see higher prices in the coming weeks. Many people have been manipulated to think that we are in a never ending bear market. I even won't call it a bear market as long as we build higher highs and higher lows in the weekly/monthly charts. It feels bad in these days and one tends to lose confidence, so the end seems to be near :)
The price may go up the price may go down, at least I have a place to post stuff without a lot of trolls around. So I think I'll still try to have some fun. Thanks for the program and sticking around yourself.
edit: oops with
hehee
(semi-trollish laugh)
😎
It looks like I had forgotten three little letters. - out - Thanks and out of here now. I may need to buy some new proof reading glasses, these were I thought guaranteed to work, but now that I think about it it was gar-a-teed on the package, no wonder I have no problem seeing those spiky golf T's .
No doubt steemworld.org is getting better day by day. There are lots of improvements on it. However, I noticed that sometimes it gets hang and also sometimes it becomes too slow. I don't know whether others are facing the same problem or not.
Thanks for maintaining this service @Steemchiller! Wouldn't know what to do without it! Cheers
Isn't it possible that we gonna vote for you to become a witness? That can be profitable. You have my 30 cents..
Hello @ Steemchiller, steemworld is a very useful tool for all its users, we are grateful that you take your time to innovate and make it more practical.
As always you get my tiny upvote! It's slowly growing. Maybe someday it will be a real contribution. Sorry to hear about your foot man. I broke my ankle this spring and it was a real pain in the ass. Unfortunately it's still recovering. Thanks for everything you do! I don't think there will ever be a replacement for your project, especially if you keep up with it the way you have been. You're the man!
Good work @steemchiller this will be a very useful addition to @steemworld which is already an awesome tool.
It will give a much more informed view of the state of the 'steem market' to a point. :-)
Sorry to hear about your foot, brother! Feel better.
Great updates. I was wondering about the way the orderbook was being shown on steemit -- thought something seemed funky. Keep it up!
I would like to take this opportunity to praise you, and thanks for the project steemworld.org.
I think the site is very successful and useful. Therefore, from now on you have been included in the regular votes :)
You are doing an amazing job. I love all the functionality of the site. The delegation tool is extremely handy!
Keep up with the good work. It's highly appreciated! 😃
Endlich ein neuer Beitrag. :)
Ich hoffe, Deinem Fuß geht es soweit besser, daß Du jetzt wieder regelmäßig schreiben kannst.
Upvote kommt morgen, wenn ich wieder bei 100% bin.
Great job!! Thank you for all your hard work and I appreciate the updates!! Steem🌎 for the win! 😃

You don't stop surprising me. Really great to have you around. It's really important that you can retrieve some financial value from this kind of effort. Not because of anything in special, but because we need people like you around, and unfortunately we still need to feed ourselves. So thank you, and that my little upvote helps it a bit.
I am a great fan of you app, and use it daily! =)
I personally hate the volume display for trading. Maybe I just need to learn how to use it for trading...but I much prefer candle charts. I have no clue how to use a volume chart to trade with.
But I much appreciate the work you've done on Steem World...and I guess allowing us to trade via Steem World is important. Brings it closer to a full-service site for the Steem blockchain. Perhaps posting and comment replies might have been a better choice for expansion first...but I guess this might prove useful. I think it might have to be a bit more advanced or easy to use when compared to Steemit for it to be truly useful though, other than for the rare occasional use when you just happen to have the Steem World tab in the front.
Keep doing the good work!
SteemWorld is already amazing. Thanks and best wishes for the market project And your foot.
LOL!! Hope you heal soon. I pictured you coding with your foot. he he he. Thanks for all your hard work!
I love the "fascinating, hidden reality", LOL!
And yes, luky all of us that you don't program with foot... you are a genius and I'm very grateful for this always improving tool you are creating!
P.s.: The "Show vote amounts for outgoing votes" is useful, thanks!
Glad to hear the foot is on the mend and that you've been putting the healing time to good use. It's great to think someone is buying STEEM, as well they should.
I've noticed that the followers numbers in the stats window on steemworld is incorrect. Either that, or nearly two thirds of the accounts that follow me and who I follow have disappeared and Steemit doesn't know it yet. :)
Yes, since we currently don't receive SBD with our payouts there is of course not as much activity in the internal market as before, but it can still be used to increase the earned STEEM by a few %. As long as the median price is < $1, I do the following:
That seems to be a node issue and I guess the node you were connected to has been replaying the blockchain at that time. When I open your account on SteemWorld it shows the same numbers like on Steemit ;)
Okay, there we go. Steemworld had flashed some connection error to whichever node I was on and then changed it to the one where the blockchain was being replayed. Now I'm looking at it on a third node and all seems to be in order. Thank you.
Thanks for continue to improve Steemit. We need more talent like you. Have you thought about developing something with SteemMonsters? It seems like the hot new thing that needs more dapp after the battles begin.
Wished I could give you a much bigger upvote. Thank you for doing the posts and explaining what you are up to!!
Get well soon Buddy!
You alwalys do the best for steem platform and dedicated. You are getting well and be fully activated very soon. Thanks your work.
I gave you an upvote.. Support me please 😍
Thank you @steemchiller I hope your full recovery from that injury soon. Cheers.
lovley, my full upvote as always
Hope the foot heals better than before. Sometimes it does work out that way. I broke my wrist in a motorcycle accident and went to the hospital to late for them to set it. It healed and is stronger than before.
Will be curious to see what changes are coming to payouts after the fork. Steemworld will be the perfect tool to understand the changes.
Thanks for the update @steemchiller! SteemWorld is the only helper app I use, these days.
The market developments look interesting... haven't much thought about the markets since SBD rewards are no longer in the picture, but they probably will be again, some time in the future.
Glad your foot is healing!
=^..^=
Excelent job !! I love your site.
I've never said thank you for this awesome tool you gave us, so now it's time to say it. Thank you!
Eigentlich sind solche "Fußgeschichten" immer ein Zeichen für ruhiger werden (gehen)... und du dreh's dann richtig auf... ;-)
Hauptsache, dir geht es gut dabei
LG Kadna
Steemworld is really one of the coolest tools i have come across so far! My vote is not worth much, but I hope it helps you stay afloat! I will resteem as well!
Nicely done buddy
Pirates like me always choose SteemWorld.
Thank you for an excellent service. ₰Ƭ€€Ɱ Cƕíℓℓεŕ 😊

If I could upvote this twice I would, seriously brother you do a bang-up job on steemworld...hope that foot is getting better.
I'm looking forward to the STEEM market implementation.
Thank you for the heavy lifting, @steemchiller!
