RE: Creating accounts with dsteem 0.6

[someguy123]

Considering SteemJS-Lib by @svk is practically abandoned, I may re-write my price feed to use dsteem.

A few questions:

1. Does it handle disconnects smoothly? i.e. automatically reconnect without just breaking
2. Does it support other chains? e.g. GOLOS, PeerPlays
3. Is there a browser version ready built?
4. What versions of NodeJS does it run on?

Awesome, would love to see some more real-world usage!

1. Yep, it even has a configurable exponential backoff. But you do need to handle retries, if a command times out for example.
2. I think so, It works well running against my testnet which has a custom chain id and address prefix.
3. Yep, check the ./dist/ folder in the github repo
4. I'm testing against node 7 and 8, will probably work with 6 as well.

@someguy123 - Not to take any steem away from dsteem (pun intended), but the steem-js library is actually still actively developed at it's official home on the steemit github here: https://github.com/steemit/steem-js

It's actually what condenser uses for the live site today - the one on svk's github is outdated. It handles disconnects smoothly, supports alternative chains (at least golos), and the browser based version is ready and built.

With that being said, diversity in the steem ecosystem is a good thing and dsteem is pretty cool too :)

Not to necro this, but seems not the case these days.

steem-js != steemjs-lib

They work completely differently to each other. Originally the official steemit one had practically no documentation, and I believe it lacked the functions I needed.

Of course if it's improved now, then maybe I'll try it out.

@justinw quick question - is it normal that the account info is delayed? When I get the voting_power via api it is about 1% behind the actual % on steemd.

Great post! The project is interesting. I am very interested. At this point I agree with you.

i almost forgot about my peerplay tokens is that a website yet? is perry plays up nd running? will they hve a blocktrades type feature where u can sell ur peerplay tokens or will peerplays be on bittrex like golos is? or do u have any idea?

Anyway this whole post is GREAT @almost-digital you demystified the whole account creation process to explain to people why it costs 6 steem to generate an account and i am confident that it will not become a bottleneck and steem will be able to grow very fast and we will have no problem hitting 1 million actual human active users by next year and a nice $5 price of steem by the end of this year, It should be $10 if people knew how valuable the steem blockchain really wayt

imagine if facebook creatd thir own hardfork of steem and used it for facecoin? It would be HUGE! steem's DPOS delegated proof oif stake system is just the most efficient crypto cutrrency social media system out there and there is nothing like it and there will BE nothing like it!

steem happened because of the Crypto sphere! a world of self employed financially independent people came together and made something happen at the perfect time and crypto will only grow and eat up all the worlds fiat. Hyperinflation wont affect steemit. our steem iwll be so precious just like Bitcoin.../steem is going to become a very valuable altcoin

steem-js via npm install steem works pretty good. But since you meant the other one - I get what you're saying.
