It is time to fix this.
Steem.supply is an app I use everyday. If you have not used it yet, you are missing out. This is an app that is designed to tell you roughly what you earnings will be over the next week.
To access it, simply type in steem.supply/@username.
Over the last few months, there have been a number of updates which only added to the features on the site. It is a very handy tool for anyone who is interested what is going on with his/her account.
This app was developed by @dragosroua. Unlike many developers on here, he is a regular poster who I follow. Over the last couple months, I upvoted and commented on a number of his posts. He usually puts up 3 or 4 good things a day.
Today, he posted about how steem.chat is changing hands and tied it to his own situation with steem.supply.
This is some of what he had to say:
... steem.supply became a service on which businesses built on top of Steemit are relying. Thousands of people are visiting it every day and are expecting it to work and to work accurately.
And, just like @riverhead' steemit.chat, steem.supply needs hardware, bandwidth, maintenance and improvements. All of them were provided as is by myself, in exchange of a witness vote. Which I always thanked for and felt a lot of gratitude when offered.
Full post:
I can attest this to be true...@dragosroua always seems most generous and grateful from what I have seen.
Now I have a confession to make: I am one of the thousands of people visiting it every day yet I did not give a witness vote. Here is someone who developed and maintains an app I use and only asks for a witness vote in return. What is really sad is that it is not as if I used all 30 of my votes. Even after remedying this situation, I still have 21 left.
As the article states, there is a big difference in compensation with the top 21 witnesses and those who are lower on the scale. I am sure there are plenty of places to debate this so I will leave that alone. What I did want to bring up is this:
I'm well under the top 50 witnesses (not even dreaming to ever reach top 21) and I never complained.
This is very disheartening. Here is someone who has an app that thousands use daily and he cannot even come close to the Top 50 witnesses.
So this begs me to ask: are you like me, using his app yet not giving him the only thing he would appreciate in return...the thing he uses to fund the apps itself: a witness vote?
If so, it is time to correct the issue.
Go to:
https://steemit.com/~witnesses
Scroll down to where it says:
If you would like to vote for a witness outside of the top 50, enter the account name below to cast a vote.
Put dragosroua in the box next to the @ sign and hit vote. (you will need your active key to process the vote)
Let us see if we can get him a lot closer to the Top 50...he belongs there for this application alone.
