I don't feeling like fighting with SteemConnect right now.. (Maybe later.)
But I do want to point out that while in some countries, 77 Steem daily might be enough to live on, in the US, it is not. He needs twice that to make it livable here. Saying that, I don't know where steemchiller lives or whether he has another source of income that allows him to work for Steem for less... but his time is valuable.
Making it Open Source is great! But if he's to keep doing the fantastic job he's been doing, he has to be fully funded. It's a full-time job on its own.
I use SteemConnect all the time... what problems are you facing?
Open Source is great but that doesn't mean someone should sell their own code for a few lousy peanuts. As soon as the code is released as Open Source, there's no guarantee that someone won't just make a copy of it, rolling all over @steemchiller's work. 🙄
I've seen that exact thing happen a lot of times...
Agreed with your view there.
Nothing major with SteemConnect, just need to set it up again and feeling too tired to do so.
