Finally I Can Test it! The First SMT!
A different post was planned as I wrote in my previous post but I have to prefer this short one here.
Today I was invited to the Appics Testnet. Finally, I am also able to test the first SMT application. A lot of time has passed since the ICO. From what I can say right now is that it looks promising. The design is noble even without the latest design update. Of course, it is not a finished product right now, but that is not the purpose of a testnet. The next time I will post a picture will be via Appics.
From the very beginning, I was convinced that this application could be a huge benefit for the STEEM blockchain. I wrote several times about Appics.
For those who don't know what Appics is: It's the first SMT(Smart Media Token) based application.Simply explained; Its a decentralized version of Instagram having their own token called XAP. Do you know Steepshot? It's already running and basically the same. The difference between Appics and Steepshot is that Appics is an SMT and with that operating as an independent application but still on the same Blockchain.
I hope that the SMT protocol will be finished developed soon. SMTs could be a real gamechanger. They could open new possibilities for the STEEM Blockchain. But like everything, all applications have to prove themselves first.
Did you hear already about Appics? What do you think about that?
To me SMTs is the only way we reach sustainability. Until then, we are so reliant on speculation that the seas could never be calm. Hence why only the ones with solid foundations stay engaged with the community.
But, when everyone is digging for gold using our shovels (smts) we don't have to worry about sustainability anymore.
Wow, well said my friend. In my opinion a matching explanation. 👍🏽
I hope that the development will finish soon.
They are running a Steem/SMT-TestNet all for themselves, or just testing it with the normal Steem token?
Right now they are testing it with the normal STEEM token.
Thanks for the info... I cannot wait to see the SMT-TestNet running...
Wooooow, you got an early invite. That's so cool. Looking forward to your first pic!
I think today I will make upload the first one :)
Congrats! On being on among the testers
SMT has really stayed too long...I wonder if it was planned to be launched before other tokens could be embedded or work with it?
BTW Appics is an awesome project
Very great things are coming indeed ;)
Well congrats on being on the list of testnet and I heard many are using it at teh moment (Presale users).While they sure are liking it indeed :)
Very much excited indeed !
I think they added now again a bunch of new testers. I am really excited^^
I love hearing about new steem developments, it helps keeps the vision clear and in plain sight. Kudos to everyone working hard to move Steem forward.
Well said friend 💪🏽
Really cool update brother, it is worth sharing on here like seriously. Like you have said we better wait for it completion of applications for better usage.
Exactly :)
@modernpastor i also heared a lot about SMT . and till now what i find is that this is looking quite promising one and important thing is that we should study at our own and SMT should also prove themselves first as you said.
Exactly :) Let's observe how the will evolve.
I would love to test it out too
waiting same like you for the testnet and the public rollout. So far I read, they wait for the SMT to be finished right?
I have really read apics in your publications on occasions when you mentioned it. I would have to see how it works there. Are they complete publications or only photographs?
