Witness Riverhead Update Week of August 1st, 2016

in #rocketchat8 years ago (edited)


Good day fellow Steemians. This week was once again all about steemit.chat.

Completed:

  • Upgraded primary chat server to address node js load.
  • Recruited a few more admins and moderators to help keep things sane
  • Worked with @void to bend nginx to our will for the release of SteemWatch
  • Worked with @lantto, @firepower, and @venuspcs on disabling the @ all tag from chat rooms

On Going:

  • Work with the good folks in steemit-abuse channels to flag pirate posts
  • Optimize/improve steemit.chat for performance and UX

Thank you to the community on steemit.chat for your support and patience while we went through several reboots implementing the above.

Till next week,
Riverhead.

Hey, @riverhead please share in what cryptocurrencies you invested?

P.S it's very interesting to know where smart people invest.

An incredible photo!!

Thank you for making this chat possible. It's really enjoyable to interact with so many people in one place.

Good news!!!I think there will still be many updates.

very cool! thanks for the update!

wow great thnks for sharing :-)

Good to see the site moving against spam. Can't wait to see how great this site will become in the near future.

Cool beard, is this picture taken in the grand canyon.
I got no clue what your post is about, it sounds like a great accomplishment.
UPVOTED because of the beard. Check mine (it's longer... :-) ): https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@johnster/johnster-here-nice-to-meet-you

Awesome dude

Great updates. Thanks!

Good Stuff! You're Killing the lag and that is a big deal!

Keep up the good work 👌💪

wow ! very nice job..... and now, it's time to add more more features to steemtit chat program chat.steemit.com

A busy week, congratulations.

May I ask two questions? TNX!

  1. what is your opinion - Rocket Chat vs MatherMost ? (I hope that this question isn't too rude since you've invested a lot of time into Steemit.chat setup :) )

  2. what about the recent mining situation with many miners with almost the same name?

Thanks a lot!

Answers:

  1. No opinion yet as we haven't had a real stress test on mattermost. I am solution agnostic so if mattermost has more efficient code and a better feature set I'd support the change. The time invested is a lot but it's also time that's been paid for by the steem platform (witness).

  2. The way mining is implemented in steem pretty much requires it. Once a miner hits the mining queue they are on a linear path up the queue until they produce a block. Since that miner account is idle during that time another account is needed to keep the hardware burning. Multiple accounts with similar names is an easy way for miners to manage and track their resources. I don't see it as an issue but an artifact of the architecture.

Cheers,
James.

Cool and thanks a lot for both answers. You have my vote as a witness :)

I asked the first question because at my office we are also in the process of rethinking the options. Ditch Slack for what... ?

I asked the second question because I might go into mining business :) But the waiting line looks mighty long...

Great updates. Thanks!

Thanks for the update. You already have my vote:)

its getting wildly good, its going to end all external governance ; )

Disabling @all in chat rooms warrants a vote by itself.

Thanks for turning of the @all.... I used it once...I won't use it ever again...

You did very well @riverhead especially choosing @venuspcs and @firepower they are great in them job

(Upvote)
I voted for you at https://steemit.com/~witnesses too.

Best regards,

Jonas
