Steemit Development
We all know that Steemit as a user interface for the Steem blockchain is getting a bit outdated. @the-gorilla is currently in the process of updating the interface and fixing the odd problem. He documents his work regularly here on Steem. You can also try out his new changes directly on my test frontend https://steemit.moecki.online/.
I have also been working on bug fixes for the last few weeks:
- There have been no TRX rewards for some time and yet they were still displayed in the Condenser. This Pull Request has now been updated. Meanwhile, @ety001 is in the process of removing the TRX logic in its entirety.
- I have already discussed the incorrect display of steem power in the profile here. This PR has now been merged into the production system.
- Hivemind has a caching feature. However, this had a fundamental bug. I noticed this when analysing the steem power display. The values were cached with a prefix, but retrieved without it. This meant that the caching function was basically useless. This has been fixed with this Pull Request.
- Later, I noticed an unhandled error in Hivemind with microforks. This caused the sync process to restart. I fixed this with this Pull Request.
There are still a few bugs to work on. If you notice anything else unusual, leave a comment.
DAO to burn Steem
There was a discussion some time ago about using the DAO to buy and burn Steem. Some witnesses are currently working on the implementation. Before submitting a proposal, we want to get the concept and scripts ready to go live.
There was a desire from the community for transparency and security. One aspect was the use of multi-signature accounts so that DAO funds are used only for the intended purpose.
We are currently in the process of writing the scripts. The transfer script is basically finished and the basis for the next steps is in place.
Prospects
I am currently setting up a colocrossing server with another RPC node. I had planned not to use an existing database for this. Unfortunately, the image I used first was the wrong one, so not all the blockchain data was written to the database (thanks to Steemchiller for the right hint). So I had to repeat the replay. This was done yesterday. Now the Hivemind database sync is also running from scratch.
I have decided to deplay on this server my previous and future developments (like @the-gorilla's) into Condenser and Hivemind in the future. The result will be a customised interface that takes into account a few more user wishes. Currently this would be the bookmark function and the new (not yet finished) trending score.
... and if I know myself, there will be some unplanned activities :-)
So: Stay tuned, Steem on... and don't forget to vote for me!
