We Are Moving. Do We Keep a Steem Presence too?

in Home Edders5 years ago

Well, it looks like we've reached the fork in the road. If you don't already know, a sister chain is emerging tomorrow. I didn't get a lot of feedback on discord, so I thought I'd better put it out here too. From the responses I've had so far, the community will most certainly be joining Hive, but the question remains as to whether anyone wants to keep going with Steem too.

For those who are nervous or unsure about having to relearn everything on a new site, don't be. The first Hive front-end, https://hive.blog, is currently a clone of the Steemit front-end, so nothing will change from what you're used to if you use Steemit. Over time things may change, just as steemit has changed, but there will be no big differences off the bat. Steempeak will also be putting a front-end on the Hive blockchain, although there may be hiccups initially. Curators @c-squared and @curangel will also be transitioning to Hive. The @naturalmedicine community, who has supported us from the start, has also made the choice to move to Hive.

Initially I thought that it would be easy enough to just copy and paste onto both chains, then I realised that the links would be different, so any community would probably have to be run separately on each chain. Not so simple after all.

Please speak your thoughts in the comments. There is absolutely no judgement and no question too silly.

I would not want to contribute to a chain run by Sun. I will migrate all, besides a few STEEM, and I think it would be best if we all did so.

Thanks for your input.

I don't see this to be a question of change so much from a blogger perspective. Maybe I will run on both first and then see how things sort out. Isn't that more a tribe thing then a community thing? I wonder whether steempeak (bearing steem in their name) would be able to run multiple chains, just like they successfully run steem token and steem-engine token in parallel. At least for some time. !invest_vote

PS. Same question for steem-engine: will there be a hive-engine? What about all those tokens i.e. !BEER and Splinterlands cards?

For the time being I think Steempeak will keep a front-end on Steem, but they'll have a new rebranded site which will be connected to Hive. I don't follow it entirely, but this is their post on it: https://steempeak.com/hive-175001/@steempeak/hive-and-url-changes

I'm not sure what's happening with steem-engine. They may cover both chains, but not sure if they'll rebrand.

Change over will be slow, anyway. I might post on both for my personal account for a week or two as things settle.

Yes, transition will take some time. To the minute (3:40 p.m. UTC if I calculate right) I can not comment via hive and when I upvote or rehive (reblog) those two actions appear on steem and not hive.

From a steem-engine perspective I found some news at @splinterlands that they will wait and see as well so the usual operations are going to be on steem.

cross posting to Steem:

Now posting the third comment to hive. Looks like the Steem keychain by @aggroed, @yabapmatt and @stoodkev mixed in here before. It looked seemlessly working at login but did address steem and not hive. Fortunately Brave allows plug-ins to be set to a site by site mode individually. A Hive keychain is already there as well, however not installed here.

After adjusting this my first reblog did not work then, because hive.blog has somehow marked it as already reblogged even though it had been reblogged to Steem. Yet in the meantime I learned that peakd.com already does a very good job and reblogging then worked there.

Next thing is wallets. First I reached https://wallet.hive.blog/@andrepol with the server not responding (same as https://wallet.hive.blog/~witnesses) and still not responding. Now the wallet points to https://hive.io/wallets/@andrepol with access denied, while https://hive.io/wallets already shows plenty of options and again https://peakd.com/@andrepol/transfers is working seamlessly.

So here everyone has some first troubleshooting tips LOL

I've been reading that peakd seems to be the best option for the moment.

Yes, and it's fun! I'm loving it already, and even switching from Hive to Steem and Steem to Hive. I had Steempeak in night mode and keep Peakd in day mode. That way I don't loose sight of where I'm typing. !invest_vote

It depends on how much time you want to sink into this. Copypasta can be another 5-10min on top of writing the actual post if you have to make some edits in the paste (or maybe it's just me that has to fiddle endlessly with everything XD) and then having to field comments on the separate posts.

I was going to hang about here commenting and upvoting but that's now going to be an effort given more recent events -_-
