Hello everyone! We are BeeMe.icu's development team who advocate for decentralisation and therefore, HIVE.
SteemWorld.org used to be one of the best go-to sites for all things account related. Unfortunately, the developer @steemchiller, decided on staying on STEEM chain rather than switching to HIVE after the hard fork. Obviously, no one can be forced so this was rather understandable. However we would like to voice our opinion of disagreement in terms of blocking custom nodes. In case you do not know what happened; After users started to use custom nodes on SteemWorld.org, @steemchiller introduced a system where it prevented you from using any node that wasn't STEEM. Which effectively, prevented any HIVE user to use the site.
Is BeeMe Stealing Intellectual Property?
Short answer; No.
Long answer; We used one of SteemWorld's old versions released by @steemchiller here. While @steemchiller released this as a "local" version, it is basically the source code for most features. The features that do not work on beeme.icu is hosted on another webserver that can only be accessed through SteemWorld.org, we are in process of writing some of these features ourselves and fixing the website on the go. In the file @steemchiller has shared, there is no license file that prevents the downloader from editing or publishing their custom version nor has @steemchiller ever mentioned that his software was closed source. Therefore, we used this said release as a foundation and started customizing it for HIVE.
Who are we?
We are a small development team who are focused on making tools on the chain for fellow HIVE members to use.
Why are you not revealing who you are?
We would like to stay neutral and prevent any personal fights between ourselves and other community members. As previously said, we are advocates for decentralisation and do not support centralisation. We are aware that many of you have your own opinions, so do we. We just want to focus on the development of BeeMe. In short, BeeMe is created by HIVE users, for HIVE users.
Why .icu domain?
It was cheap and available. That's it, no special reason :)
Can I suggest some features?
Of course! Feel free to send us a memo, comment, make a post on the chain! We will definitely check your post.
Something is broken!
We are aware that some features are not working as intended and working on fixing them as soon as possible. If you think you have discovered something new, please comment on this post or send us a memo.
Thank you everyone!
