I've been deeply focused on my SDS (Steem Data Service) development lately and am currently tweaking and trying out different setups. A few days ago I installed a new data server, which will be used to deliver the already parsed blocks and block indices in a fast and easy way to other SDS instances.

The required time for planing/developing the services, parsing, compressing the blocks (own compression + xz) and testing the resulting data is massive, but I'm making good progress. I changed the number of blocks per file from 100,000 to 10,000, because it's easier to provide/xz the updates in smaller block archives. When an instance is 30,000 blocks behind, it only needs to download the latest three block archives, update the block indices and voila, we are nearly there ;)

There were a number of lessons to be learned and I even needed to re-compress all blocks again (which sucks)², but at least I now have an external solution for faster exchanging the data, so that from now on I can make all testing on a dedicated machine instead of my local one.

My recent morning routine looks like:

• Go SteemWorld.
• See VP is at 100%.
• No time to read any posts.
• Go Feed and make votes in 'Chaos Mode'.

Please forgive me... ^^

Don't let anybody distract you from achieving your goals!
Diving deep into blocks again...

Have a 'mooning' week!

Caching Posting/Memo Keys

---

As I wrote in my last post:

The Posting/Memo Keys are now being cached in your browser's local storage (encrypted), so that you don't need to enter them again after reloading the site. All 'higher' keys are never being cached anywhere and I improved the checking routine in the Input Dialog to make sure that people don't use their Owner/Active Key in places where only the Posting Key is required.

If you don't want to use the new caching feature, there is now a new option to be found in Settings:
