You're putting on your blockchain designer hats. This is exactly the sort of discussion I like to see.

I've recently written about my plans to build a new and better blockchain. It's quite a monumental endeavor for a single person. I'm happy that everyone in this post feels the same way, wants to form a

No Github repo just yet. Thanks for the link. Really interesting curation algorithm. I'll have to learn a bit more about DTube :)

Back in early 2014, the consensus mechanism that eventually became DPoS was actually the first blockchain design problem I ever attempted. At the time I was just a community member flaming the forums with

Most likely Github, but I probably won't post code until the architectural decisions are made, and a non-trivial amount of functionality's been implemented.

Thanks! Just glanced at a few of your posts. I'm always happy to see community members explaining Steem math :)

I want to build a new and better program. I want to do development. Forking the Steem network is basically the opposite. It's running the same program on different data. Strictly an operational problem.

According to [1]: "Elerium, also known as element 115, is the primary energy source for alien technologies. It fuels alien ships and can be recovered from UFO landing and crash sites..." [1]

The Steem blocks themselves -- without any index data -- are well over 3GB already, and will only continue to grow. Since 32-bit machines are limited to 4GB of address space per process, this means any

There are a couple ways to do this already: Custom operations allow any user to post arbitrary JSON to the blockchain that's ignored by existing tools (but the poster still has to have an account with

I personally like screenshots and text. It's easier to search and skim. And reading is generally faster than watching a video.

That's a good question. The hierarchical threshold multisig permission model used by Steem (and BitShares) is much more flexible and powerful than Bitcoin-style multisig (for example @xeroc mentions in

How did this get all the way to v0.6 without me seeing it? I need to spend more time on steemit.com...

This account's received large amounts of SBD from Poloniex and converted it to Steem, which isn't shown on the website for some reason. I don't know why OP claims the account is "new" or

Basically witness voting was inherited from BitShares, while comment voting was designed from the ground up for Steem. They're two totally different, unrelated pieces of code with two totally different

people that don't trust dollars People Cryptoheads don't trust dollars. By and large, people outside the cryptohead / libertarian camp do trust dollars, and we want to try to attract those outsiders to

Lately I've been hearing good things about Godot, an MIT licensed game engine similar to Unity. Would you consider learning Godot enough to write a tutorial or two?

The classical definitions of alpha test and beta test: Alpha test is an internal, private test of a product unavailable to the general public, e.g. by employees of the company that created it. Beta test

There are really a few different bugs at work here, and I don't want to bore you with the details. I think you should be able to upvote after the changes going in with the next hardfork on Tuesday.

Looking at these screenshots, my guess is that you didn't sell all your SBD. Your Poloniex account likely has the SBD on deposit, either in your account's main balance or in some unfilled order.
