While this can indeed be a problem for new users I must say I have barely seen any spam comments @roundbeargames its still something I would need to look more into.

consider that this post is based on anecdotal evidence from a few days back, so it's lagging a little :)

i'm guessing even if you have low sp, if you wait for your mana/rc to charge, you should be ok. new accounts should be ok too as long as they're getting the delegation that'll help them get started.

as far as spam goes, i think the overall activities have simply plummeted for a few days. i'm guessing spammers will be back once things normalize 😆

but as long as it's not too much we should be fine. no platform is free from spammers so..

The oddity about the "clones / competition" that people keep saying they're running off too is... How are they going to be any better?

Let's say Weku, for instance, starts getting traction. They are going to run into the same exact issues and will sooner or later need to have their own RC debacle. I'm holding out with Steem. Rough roads now for sure, but that just means we are going somewhere.

For those that abandon ship, they're just prolonging the inevitable. Jump from Steem to Weku, post there a while, get mad when Weku introduces Weku-Creds, jump back to Steem, and be behind those that decided to stay. You'd be shooting yourself in the foot just to ignore a minor scratch on your hand ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The question is how much of a dictatorship is weku going to be? Depending on how much is decentralized we just dunno whether its gonna have the same problems or not. For sure its gonna run into troubles. Its likely to be just as centralized but i dont wanna go all in on any prediction.

Im not gonna defend weku because all im doing is copy pasting. People are not abandoning ship (at least not in big numbers yet). Its more like a 'just in case'.

Therell always be 1000s of other platforms. People have always been cross posting. Nothing more :)

Oh yeah, the cross-posting thing I understand. Diversification, don't put all your eggs in one basket, that sort of thing.

I was more just poking fun at the people who are up in arms saying things like "Steem is over! Everyone one to insert random steem clone here, it's totally gonna be perfect!"

Growing pains happen with literally every website, Steem is no different. Be smart & cautious, sure, but don't forget the smart part ;^)

haha yes i get it. those people are quite a small minority. also, i have lots of 'ifs' in my statements. i'm only pointing towards the possibilities of having your worst nightmares coming to life. i know i like to exaggerate shit and i may sound like i'm saying steem is garbage. but at the end of the day i'm still betting big on steem. i just like to express my concerns :)

I gotcha, expressing one's concerns is healthy for a stronger platform.
Also, I appreciate your consistent voice in this community. Lots of people wander in and out [ which is totally fine ], but I like the fact that you maintain your blog on a regular basis, it gives me something to look forward to 👍

thank you 😌
people change their minds all the time so i'm fine with that too. it's part of the freedom that should be guaranteed. conversations are good 😃 definitely looking forward to seeing more.

This is another great site for checking how much comments, votes, post an account can make.

user name at the end...

https://beempy.com/power/klimentina

Yes! Thanks for the info! 👍
But seems like it doesnt tell you how much a post would cost?

It's under...

Est. RC for a comment
Est. RC for a vote

The results seem to slightly vary from steemd.

The site is set up by @holger80. He has some other posts in relation to RC's.

This post by @taskmaster4450 is also a good read. He talks about the possibility of RC delegation pools.

@taskmaster4450's got some great points. especially when he said steemit is not the golden goose (steem is!) 😄👍

i wouldn't agree 100% that the rc system would make steem more valuable though. right now steemit inc has all the control in the world to change the prices however they want to. it's a dictatorship, whereas we need free market solutions.

i'm guessing he's talking more about the potential of the rc because things like 'decentralization' and individual 'verification' hasn't happened yet (if they do, then steem would absolutely explode, to the moon!).

but yes. absolutely amazing steemians! i haven't talked about @holger80 but they both are 😎

i'd also ABSOLUTELY LOVE to see rc delegation put in place. i have no idea what steemit inc is planning so it's just my wish.
but it'd be fucking great for minnows 👍

I think I read RC costs will be determined by the free market. I don't think they've come this far to let things fall apart. We'll see.

Here's an interesting post by @mcfarhat who runs the @actifit app...

HF20 Tutorial: Claiming & Creating Discounted Accounts

Demand is put into consideration yes, but see how steemit inc wrote 20.4 update that increased the rc budget (supply) by 10x. Witnesses simply roll over so i think its fair to say steemit inc has 99% control 😐 (for now)
Itll be very difficult for the community to get together and create a force behind change, but if it does, itll be all democracy and freedom. If it doesnt well i guess we deserve the dictatorship from steemit inc 😂

Nice article too👍
At some point a killer dapp that somehow enables seemless account creation from the users perspective would be perfect 😃

Hhhh,,, y y, I really understand friends ...

We must continue to be aware of all this,

Oa,, today I post about my original data, because many friends ask why my name is almost the same name as @good-karma, today I answer it. Hhhh

haha man i was kinda wondering but now i know 😄
anyways i guess the next few days (or even weeks?) on steem will be quite rough..
we'll see how many users leave 😦

Hello my freinds, this contes t in partiko.
Are you not participating?

what contest? i'm not using partiko anyways. too lazy :)

Just make it maskot partiko

if Steemit continues like this, it's not fun anymore as before, I'm sure, many Steemit users will leave Steemit and move to another platform

I haven't tried Weku yet, I don't know if Weku coin can be sold?

probably not right now.. i don't think it's noticed by any of the exchanges yet.

on a different note, i'm sure there'll always be some users that will stay on steem and remain diehard fans. as for myself, i'm only copy/pasting stuff onto weku for now (just in case 😉)

but yes, if steemit inc continues down this path, things won't look pretty.

What's wrong with steem?🤔

the thing that you talked about.

  1. low sp means you can only make 1 post and 3~4 comments per day (new users will go WTF).
  2. whales (ned being the biggest one) control not only how most of the rewards are distributed, all the hardforks are controlled by a single entity.
  3. flagging = censorship (censorship is fought with more free speech, not the other way around)
  4. your witness vote doesn't really count (people barely vote anyways, and even if they did, a thousand minnows will never beat a single whale)
  5. more stake doesn't mean you're benevolent
  6. witness votes should be dissolving constantly
  7. the only way a dapp could be sustainable is through a giant delegation from ned (when you leave that much responsibilities to a single man, no matter how smart he is, it's a ticking timebomb)

Wow ... the more complicated😥

for now, just wait and see how the changes go regarding rc :)
a bit of patience is necessary.

Well ... thank you for the info, maybe I should be more patient

Yes just a little patience for things to settle :)

Thank you @roundbeargames, you are one of the truly excellent people I have ever met, even though far away and blocked by your language, you still support😍😄🤗

THANK YOU BROTHER FOR YOUR ADVICE. GREETING

greetings amigo
good to see you being active again after hf20 @chiminguito :)

gracias por tu información y orientación@roundbeargames,saludos y que pases un lindo dia

you enjoy your day too @petrarodriguez 😎

I am facing a lot of problems in steemit.
I do not understand anything about new updates. :(

You should be able to post since you have plenty of rc right now.
https://beempy.com/power/sumonpra
Let me know if theres other troubles

i understand .. tnx for ur advice dear.......im following your advice

let's also keep in mind that resource costs have been going down. so over the next few days (or weeks even) we might see some notable changes.

i'm just afraid it's gonna take way too long and a big % of minnows are gonna leave.

it was a very bad news for steem user

For almost a week yes. By now most users should be able to use steem without problems

yeah.... now i hve no pblm

they made some changes for the newbies too. Now a complete newbie that just came in or have the sp delegated when you first join, at 100% RC has around 22 comments and over 100 posts-votes something like that

Yes i only had anecdotal evidence where confused users were getting locked out 😆
Hopefully when the dust settles people wont feel like they have to pay to be social.. Hopefully.. 😌

@dlive 가 ㅌㅌ 하고 @vimm 으로 방송 오늘 테스트겸 진행해봤는데
아주 잘 되네요~ 라이브방송도 가끔 하시길래 참고하세요~! ㅎㅎ

넹! 캄사합니당~ Vimm이 아직 갠적으로 미완성느낌이 너무 많이 들어서 안쓰고잇긴한데 또 어찌될지 모르죵 😄

You're absolutely right, we'll have to see how it develops this week, let's hope it improves 😐

Yes i hope its not another disappointment! 😱
Just have to wait it out and see 😌

My mana seems to be ok. Day 1 was impossible to do anything. Day 2 I voted once and went from 100 to 32 percent. Posting a comment took 5%. Now I started using busy to manage my voting but todayim using esteem on my android and I voted twice and commented 3 times voting power is at about 96%and managed is barely used. Checked on steemd. 100% value voting power too. I can't change that on steemd.

Yes resource costs have been going down because steemit inc increased the rc budget (i just dont think its not enough yet 😊)
We still need a few days (maybe even weeks) for things to settle

Yeeaah..I always checking and checking again my VM and my RC.. it's really make me scared 😂😂

Posted using Partiko Android

We still need some time for things to be settled. Later youll probably have a good sense of how much it costs to be active :)

hahaha, in fact I do not understand much this new update.
Thanks for sharing your point of view and a little information.

Well thanks for coming anyways 😄
Just keep watching your mana and rc!

yeah thats true .. bt we have no choise ....

just gotta wait it out man. and see what happens :)

help me .. @roundbeargames
what does it means ?
i find this steemd.com

image.png

it's exactly what it says :)
with your current mana and rc, you can comment 59 times and cast over 100 votes.

you can simply look at the bars and if it's below certain points, wait a few hours (or 1~2 days if you're really low).

personally, i don't like going below 50~60% but it's up to you.

yeah i got it.

@roundbeargames, At the moment we can see the stability but for sure many are left behind when we talk about the effective access of Steem Blockchain and it's an hit to many small users and this aspect should be taken into consideration and team have to work with something so that no one can left behind from the basic actions on the Steem Blockchain.

Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂

yes exactly. a lot of people are 'left behind' 😦
it's quite sad.
i'm quite certain in the longrun we're gonna be inching towards more and more decentralization. i just dunno whether steemit inc will be able to do it fast enough. or efficiently.
blessings ^^

Steem Enthusiasts are waiting to see an equal growth, so let's hope that everyone will going to get the equal opportunity to perform the basic actions. Stay blessed. 🙂

I really agree with you, if steemit inc they are not decentralized perfectly, then it doesn't take long for steemit inc to just name 😁😂😂😂

yes. we don't even need absolute decentralization. but probably just enough so that dapps don't have to rely on ned's delegations. or minnows don't have to rely on whales. for that steem needs way more than 1 million users (10+ million needed). it could be a thriving community with just enough decentralization that steemit inc doesn't have all the control :)

Yes. Still the problem

resource costs have changed quite a lot since i recorded the video, so by now it should be ok. if you have low sp, just wait a little more for mana/rc to recharge and go from there :)

Hi friend @roundbeargames ,I am new steemit user , I am very happy to you friend , thanks for your information

pls explain why i'm seeing the same post over and over again?

"I am a social worker.
and I'm A Content Creator."

I work in social project jast like helping as possible everyone work

i'm considering you a bot. you and @neiloyy
pls stop spamming

I am not spamer and robot. This my original steemit I'd. My name is md shogor @roundbeargame

다음 영상 기대합니다! 요즘 잘 못왔더니 뭐가 뭔지 모르겠어용 ㅎㅎ 계속 바뀌고 있군요

넹 캄사합니다 ^^
그냥 mana와 rc 시스템으로 바뀐거뿐 근본적으로 밴드위스가 한정돼있다는건 변함이 없는듯하네용

You're right, many users have little SP so this desmotivates a lot. I could not post for several days and I forgot about Steem for almost a week, it's unfortunate!

Yes it was a disaster, but by now everyone should be able to post. Steemit inc couldve handled it better 😌

I am ready to wait for developments about this from you.
Thank you @roundbeargames for providing useful information.

Thanks 😀 steem on and lets grow 👍

Saludos @roundbeargames te puedo preguntar que te parecen los cambios que han introducido en Steemit mediante el HF 20 y si a futuros estos cambios nos podrán favorecer a los peces pequeños que hacemos vida aqui

in the very long term if SMTs work out nicely then yes. the current small fish like us might have a chance. in the short term we have to get by with the very little rc budget steemit inc gave us 😆

hey bro why u block me dear..... im not fack user... its my real id... im not copy and past post..... so whats my pblm.....another copy my post and he post his wall so what kind i do

you're a plagiarist and a spammer, absolute one of the worst i've seen on steem.
these are not your images, yet you act like it.
you can do whatever you want, but pls stop wasting my time.
