I read all the remarks and comments up to the point of starting mine.
- Hive has just started week 4. I do not know when your conversation took place, Hive just finished week 3. There are always glitches when new software, forks are put out. I am not a programmer, or a businessman, I am just someone that uses the tools made by others, and I know there are always problems with new systems.
- From what I understand the Slack group is all about the Dev's helping each other recognize problems and try to come up with solutions. Personalities are going to clash, it is how those clashes are handled that will either maintain the respect or completely lose it forever.
- I am amazed there has been so few problems with the Hive launch. Look back on the last three HF from steem. You have been working on your Travel Feed site since Feb 2018, 2 plus years, Hive is not even a month old yet. If you want tried tested and centralized control of a block chain, check out IBM block chain, or any of the other large corporation owned block chains.
- I don't see a lot of complaining from the likes of peakd, eSteem, or any of the other applications complaining about this or that not working. in fact peakd did have fallover issues with some of the nodes, they put a fix in to allow their users to keep posting. They do not blame others, they are upfront and honest with their users, telling them that they have an issue with whoever and are working on a solution. Blaming others for failure is not a good business move from the perspective of a non businessman consumer. Amazon is the one that guaranties a delivery time, if the delivery is not done on time it is not incumbent on me to seek resolution from the delivery company, but from Amazon since they are the ones that made the guaranty/guarantee to me not the delivery company.
I wish you and your users luck in what ever direction you decide to take your project, I do enjoy seeing locales and location from around the world through the eyes of normal people and not staged photo-shopped cleaned up approved by the local government or magazine editor pictures and stories.
