what about private keys? Still stored on your server?
Yes (encrypted). Feel free to join the discussion in steemit.chat regarding the canonical signatures to help us bootstrap moving key signing to the client side.
Don't store users' keys.
steemconnect v1 can be used to establish this. the tool is already functional in this way.
There's no .NET version of Steemconnect.
Then you will have to wrap it, asking for peoples private keys is simply irresponsible. I use your software but it is no way my recommendation for others to do so. You simply cannot guarantee the security of your system.
There is another much more suitable lib to wrap and that's what we're working on right now.
Steem community needs libraries in as many languages as possible so that developers all over the world could write as many Steem clients as possible.
That I agree with. Nice work on the lib btw!
Sounds risky
Are you planning on integrating IPFS with this app? - so we can have "decentralized' photos when posting to the STEEM blockchain? - or is this something that will require a blockchain hardfork?
Yes, we do and the integration with IPFS is already set and tested on our servers. A link containing a hash of the image can be safely stored to the blockchain so no hardfork is required.
However, there are two main reasons why we still use non-IPFS centralized cloud storages for image hosting:
So yes, we are planning the integration with IPFS but we keep looking for solutions for the issues described.
This is a great vision. Keep up the work brother thank you.
I hope the issues with IPFS are worked out soon. That way we can really advertise SteepShot as an app that can enable decentralized photos not hosted on a central server.
Thanks. IFPS integration should also provide a way for photo creators to technically prove their authorship by storing image hash into the blockchain post. So we're very excited about this technology.
This is really exciting, thank you for the information. Im looking forward to more updates in regards to SteepShot. - are you using steemconnect for private keys? - how are keys being stored?
Unfortunately there's no SteemConnect for C#-based apps, so we're writing our own lib. We'll release a new update soon and then integrate it with Steepshot.
Short term solution is - we're asking for user posting key only and store it encrypted on the server for transaction signing.
Privet ,ja iz Latvij ,ocen prijatno 🙂🙂
This looks like a great deal of work and what a result! Awesome! thanks for sharing and congratulations. All for one and one for all! Namaste :)
Yeah this looks sick! I'm gonna check it out on Android!
Nice, I will take a look thanks.
Very cool! I love it!
One thing that I wish there was an improvement for was the ability to not have SteepShot photos show up in my Steemit.com feed if I wished. They're a little too austere for a traditional blog post and make the feed a little messy. Same with Busy.org. Is there a way to do that?
This feature would be great for all the new Steem apps that are showing up. I would like to post my science posts here while posting photos on Steemshot without them cluttering each other.
However, I think the best way to do this is by creating an alternative user account to use for the other services.
That's probably not possible as they are built on the STEEM Blockchain, on the other hand may it is entirely possible simply with a lot more filtering of the Blockchain data coming into the apps. Can anyone anwser this for us?
Yes! We're just talking about filtering certain data, not restricting it on the blockchain. :) But what do I know?!
I'm just a humble user.
Probably we should have another application to have only display "longer" blog posts. So let Steepshot for photos, the new app for blogs, (and Zappl in the future for microblogs).
Steemit remain as everything.
The content that the blockchain client is showing is up to the client (steemit.com) that shows the content.
That's interesting. Okay. I guess someone is gonna have to write a suggestion post on Steemit! :)
Hmmm. So just testing it, the "description" part should be placed in the post body as opposed to the post title. There should be an extra field for the post title :)
Also, the adding of hashtags automatically to the tags seems to fuck things up when viewing the post on other Steem platforms?
what is this for? How can I use it for steemit?
This is a Instagram-like application for steem blockchain.
Fantastic! This is a great app! A instagram app for the steem blockchain! Yes!
Yeah, I just downloaded in my phone (android),but it was early access.
It was fantastic! Nice
This is what I am waiting for! Thank you
So Steepshot pays from the steemblock chain similar to steemit? Looks great. Excited to used this on android. Hopefully has a share button so i can pull in peiple from fb.
