Thank you @pinko for the reply.
I have tried the platform myself too. Unfortunately, I faced similar problems. I have even faced problems transferring my bitshares out of the wallet.
The system had so many errors and it was too slow.
So, maybe the reason for low adoption is because it does not work yet in addition to low marketing that @johnsmith mentioned. That would really make me sad because I love steem and its siblings.
I wish if some of the insiders would explain more to us.
