I'm going to be honest. Between all of the DDos attacks, nodes going offline, APR fights instead of actully building anything and the recent single failure point of HiveSQL. Hive really is not in a good place IMO. It seems like we use less and less of the actual blockchain and build everything outside of it for some reason.
HiveSQL should never have been a single failure point.
that is the failure of the Dapps which is a failure of people voting for DHF proposals that don't build there own infrastructure.
InLeo is finally learning and building their own.
VSC and myself are building our own.
Hive is in a good spot. The old "hive inner-circle" BS is finally failing and a new stronger one will emerge.
I admit that I sometimes sit and scratch my head and can't help but think that a lot of people here are resting on some overly wilted laurels from the past, figuratively speaking.
It does feel that way rather often. Not sure we got rid of the crud from Steem to be honest. Seems to be kind of going down that same path again. Too many people getting a little comfy with their big payouts.
Oh they are !!! 100 percent!
and getting funding from DHF or form delegations.
I think people should look real hard at projects right now.
Maybe start supporting those are actually building.
I'm still a newbie here so I cannot say it is not a good place. From my perspective, I see lots of opportunity and we are at an infancy stage of the new internet. Expectation comes to mind.
it's very hard to build on Hive because of the lack of smart contracts and clear docs. I'm not a dev, so my opinion probably doesn't matter, but I can speak to this directly as someone trying to built without being a dev
The problem is the lack of decentralization when it comes to infrastructure and DHF being unwilling to invest heavily into building such infrastructure and attract developers.
I must have missed the development of these when they occurred. Any post that talks about these?
