RE: Steem: Scalability before scaling
This is a very helpful post for me. I woke up one morning, fired up SteemPeak, and behold - it was different! And a bit disorienting. I’m all for improvements but for big steps, it really helps me when I can have a 50,000 foot (or meter :) view of the of the changes to get a perspective of the nature and structure of the changes either before or when they are implemented. Having a good roadmap helps keep me from getting hopelessly lost! (I’m a visual learner :).
This post helped to provide some good pieces of the picture, but where should one go to get the full view of the map? I’m a system engineer and enjoy learning more of the mechanics behind the system in one serving rather than discovering it bit by bit.
The big picture is very hard to grasp as, which big picture do you want to participate in? Some will develop a broad spectrum gaming experience, others might look at narrow documentation delivery and tracking. I think the big picture contains content freedom and owned experience. The value to an individual might diverge from the economics, but still affect the economic mechanisms. It is very interesting! :)
Good points! Steem is quite a diverse platform. I have a good general understanding of the core platform. I think what I should have asked for was the 10,000 ft view of Communities, probably with a compare & contrast with Tribes and SMTs. Not being a Reddit user may put me at a disadvantage with respect to other users here.
I don't use reddit either, unless someone drops me a link to a post there. However, it is a dynamic and eclectic group of many communities and I wonder what it would become if Reddit points held a fraction of real value. Hopefully, we get to find out here.
What I like about communities is that it separates content, but also introduces users to new content creators. It can become quite a nice feature.
