eSteem is ok, but has never been working well for me. I found that once I browsed out of my feed (the ones I follow), I'd never get back....

I think in Steemfest 2, it was revealed that Steemit wants to have their own mobile app.

Hi, @ebargains. 

The eSteem app is created by an independent company that displays the Steem blockchain in their app. It has nothing to do with Steemit Inc. or the Steemit.com website, which is another company that also provides information from the Steem blockchain. 

It can be a bit tricky to keep in mind that Steemit does not equal Steem, but the point is that Steemit also wants to create their own Steemit mobile app. This if great for us users, because more choices is always a good thing (in my opinion). 

Best regards from @valth

I just want to say that registration problems are so damn disappointing, waiting a long time

Absolutely agree!
Account creation and bandwidth are 2 pain in the ass problems for new steemians.

Ive already come to terms with the fact that i cant do anythingon steem between 4 am and noon because i literally can only stare atthe recharge bar on steemd and wait. But new users may not understand or be as patient as i am.

Yeah, the Steem on-boarding and account creation process has to be revamped and improved. Waiting a week to get a confirmation e-mail to create an account is really archaic and hurts Steem's image as a modern blockchain based social media (and more) platform.

Just a small investment of SP will increase your bandwidth enough to comment and post all day long! Actually I thought that was intentional to encourage people to buy in.. Great idea in my opinion!

Hey flurgx, 

First thank you Ned and Team.

1. Nice point about difficulties in sign process... I know some people they are waiting more than 12 days now... Perhaps you just have to be a bit patient. We got used to things going quickly, but building something big is taking some undefined time.

2. About bandwidth... My thought is maybe they are doing it for a reason - limited bandwidth - to avoid to fall while success is coming fast. Sometimes retaining the development is a good thing too. I am pretty sure they will improve this. 

They might not tell that they are not going to release before quality standards matches... They just might not know when their baby will make its own first step... Every day they are learning, as I learn too using Steemit.

3. I didn't read all comments yet but my idea is about SERVICES on Steemit. Maybe someone else will discuss this topic... 

4. How can we organize all covered topics in comments?

@ned - do you have an algorithm to classify information? I think something like "Building blocks" strategy to get the most of all these comments will be useful. We used this classification in the company where I was an intern during my GAP year.  There I also discovered this book.

I have an electronic version of this book, but due to copyright, I can't share it here on Steemit... Would be great if I could sell it here and a part of the price would be in the author reward pool. 

Will continue to read other comments. The night is gonna be long... :)
Thank's for reading me ;)

I'm pretty new on here, so not 100% clear on the issue with bandwidth. From what I can ascertain reading your comment and others in this thread, it sounds like if you just start with the 15 SP that's delegated when you first create an account, you somehow run out of enough SP to participate on the platform at some point. Is that correct?

I've not even been on here 2 weeks yet, and I actually did add $100 of STEEM that I powered up within just a few days of joining, so perhaps I would have encountered this problem had I not done that. As it is, I see on steemworld that I have about 75% of my voting power available right now, not really having done much upvoting today (a couple articles and maybe 3 comments). It says I'll be at 100% voting power in another 30 hours. I assume that means if I don't upvote anything else.

When I do upvote these last few days, I see that I either add .01 to someone or the vote counts but the amount given to them doesn't change at all. If I keep upvoting while my % voting power is low, will I eventually not be able to even post? 

I'm sure this sounds like a very novice question, but yeah, total novice here. I have been reinvesting all my earnings in steem power in addition to the $100 I initially put in, but I'm wondering if I'll still run into problems before long. It's already a drag seeing a notice that I need to wait as much as 50 hours before I have my full SP again. I'm also wondering for some folks I'm planning to introduce to Steemit soon, who I doubt will be able to afford to invest anything in STEEM to get started, only reinvest earnings. 

Does the amount of delegated SP at the start of an account not really set someone up to be able to stay on the platform if they never buy STEEM, only reinvest earnings by powering up? Is it just a matter of upvoting less often within a given day? Thanks in advance if you can take the time to answer this.

The "current bandwidth problem" is up to witnesses, not Steemit Inc. Witnesses can publish a higher block size to alleviate the issue at any time. For it's part, Steemit Inc. is doing its best to delegate SP to users running out of bandwidth.

Besides, as others point out, the solution is simple - power up some SP. Of course, it's a very poor experience for new users.

This is why I filed with my state's attorney generals office to have them look into it.  I made that decision after myself being thrown off line with a bandwidth problem and looking the issue over.  What I found were people taking anywhere from powering up fifty bucks worth to get five minutes of bandwidth to people taking hundreds and waiting hours still to get back online.  There is absolutely no other issue more pressing then fixing this one because you can't sell a product that you can't deliver, that about as realistic as it gets.  I've read blog after blog of promised fixes going back for quite a while yet nothing gets done.  They claim it's to control spam but spam isn't being controlled.  Then they say it's a virus.  Who knows what the problem really is but the bigger problem facing them is that you have to state to people right up front of any business venture what the price is going to be to engage, how much money gets you what amount of steam and then the bigger question to me is why do I even have to give up my steam to stay on the platform...why can't that be my accumulated power I earned by being on the platform to do with what I want to do with it.  Yesterday I was out of bandwidth when I got on and today to so my next blog was going to be about people writing their attorney generals because short of that I don't see any other way this is going to get solved.  It's just basic simple rational thought that you cannot sell a product that you cannot deliver, and you cannot sell a product blindside....you get this much product for this price and that has to also be known upfront.  This is a great idea they have but it doesn't allow them to break the law(s).  You make money by posting and responding but if you can't respond well....?

We welcome competition in the space. We're lonely :(  ;)

It took years from fanboy dreams to real product serving real-life uses.
We will see.

For now one shouldn't compete with someone promises. Promises are too cheap compared with real product.
