Busy.org v.2.4 has been released.

For those that don't know. Busy.org is another front end (besides steemit.com) to access the steem blockchain.

It's full of new and awesome features.

You can read about all of them here.

My personal favorites: Notifications on the website.

Check them out:

Notifications help you keep track of what's happening on your blog and it makes for a way more interactive experience on the blockchain.

Fight against Phishing


User anyx@anyx build a new tool to help us against phishing attacks.

It's called Guard here.

From the post:

guard@guard instead searches for the phishing links themselves, and presents a warning any time one is detected. Despite attackers attempts to hide phishing links (such as with link shorteners), guard@guard will still catch them.

This is what the warning looks like:

I talk about it more in my vlog.



I am a witness with our developer group blockbrothers@blockbrothers for the Steem blockchain. If you want to support us I would appreciate your vote here.

We build Steemify a notification app for your Steemit account for iOS.
