RE: Steemit continues to be as unprofessional as ever
HF20 main net launch is set for this spring.
As far as notice, it would be cool. But we know the fork is coming and that forks mean outages, so I take that as the notice. I'm easy to please in this regard because I don't understand all the codes and all. Wouldn't know what questions to ask em myself.
They're miners, so when a fork happens, the miners have to change their software. Some miners go down and that can affect the network, so I'm not stressing over it.
Also, something to keep in mind is that there are literally millions of dollars invested here. Some accounts are worth hundreds of thousands. Some over a mil. I cannot imagine being an investor and wanting to take part in something like this if that was all I saw. Notifications for this sort of thing are necessary to maintain confidence and also to keep folks investing in the platform. If a bank had this sort of thing happen there would be plenty of updates and likely profuse apologies. I don’t require that, but it just seems to be common sense if you are running such a venture.
It doesn’t freak me out anymore because it happens often here. To new users, big investors, or potential investors/users, this type of thing doesn’t look good. Can’t even type one sentence on the landing page??? It’s clear user confidence is not a big priority.
I’m not stressing, but as someone who has experienced this enough times by now, and who used to onboard a lot of folks, it’s just dumb. Lots of folks feel the same way. Shoddy as shit.
