You can set your API node now. It's a setting under your profile/settings/advanced.

One other thing I noticed is that the participation rate is 99.21% right now, so there must be a witness missing blocks. That could result in a delay, if your action was done around the time of the missed

The API server setting is buried under the Advanced setting of your settings under your profile page. But if you haven't set it, it should be default to and falling back to if it has any problems. We haven't

I haven't seen it myself and it hasn't been mentioned to me. There was a glitch with inet connectivity to the image server for about 10 minutes or so a couple of days ago, but that's all I'm aware of.

Your reply seems reasonable to me. Upvoted.

No, the original devs at launch were Dan (Larimer), Ben, Michael, and Valentine. @gtg was contracted later part-time for devops and computer security work.

See you guys at hard fork 24, is anyone doing a remote fork zoom party ? I guess at least the witnesses will, just to be sure nothing goes wrong :-)

I think there will be a post from hiveio that details all the changes (in HF24) within the next couple of days.

I wasn't a Steemit team member, but I previously wrote some of the code that they used (the peer-to-peer networking layer). And they ended up working out of my basement, so I did contribute some design

That's the thing: KYC isn't really meant to protect individuals. It's mostly a way for governments to track the flow of money.

Many of the HF24 changes won't be very noticeable on the front end. We are generally able to make frontend updates all the time and such changes aren't constrained to be released at hardfork time. Those

It's not just the stolen account element: he's randomly voting up posts at 100% strength. Other large stakeholders don't normally do this, unless it's a really good/important post, because they influence

You're confused about my motivations for the downvotes. If you actually want to understand them, instead of just making assumptions, you can read my reply to the poster.

There's a guy called haejin who's voting with a possibly stolen account called ranchorelaxo. He randomly votes up the top trending posts with 100% strength without reading them. I have a bot setup that

I think "evolved" is the wrong word in this case, probably degenerated is a better choice. Most of the stakeholders have sold out of Steem, which leaves most of the coins concentrated in a small

Hive is actually paying out more rewards than Steem (reward payouts are a function of coin price). But the rewards are distributed more evenly among the posts, so the payouts on trending are less, despite

Ah, that's a very important correction. Please contact ecency developer directly about the bug or file an issue in their repository, and I'll remove the issue from condenser/hive.blog repo.

No, because this operation doesn't always succeed. The new vop was to report cases where the operation fails. For more info, you can look at code here:

I've added an issue report for this:

I wasn't aware of it. You can file an issue here for it:
