Sounds very interesting so far. I like the fact that you’re looking at partnering with some alternative front ends already.
A question that I hope makes sense being that I’m not a developer by any stretch of the imagination... Could Stratos community implementations also serve the purpose of Resource Credit Pools that have been discussed? Let’s say I’m a community owner & run a Stratos node at home. If community activity is running through the Stratos layer first, could it be set to utilize my resource credits when actually publishing those interactions with the Steem blockchain so that new signups & low power users have a more frictionless experience?
Sadly no, as the Steem blockchain itself must verify that a user actually has the RC. Stratos has no power over that blockchain level so it is one of the things that cannot be implemented with soft consensus and must run on a sidechain, some other things are control over the Steem currency, ability for DApps to actually create their own transactions.
I’m currently in contact with @jarvie from Steempeak and @hr1 from Steeve. I’m currently trying to contact others.
Understood, thanks for the response. I wasn’t sure if such a thing could effectively be “intercepted” at an intermediary layer.
I could totally see Steampeak with a whole mountain range of community pages!
Yeah, I’d like Steemit Inc. to focus on the core technology with things like RocksDB, RC pools, etc.
Yeah, I really hope the interfaces are interested in working on this; I’m going to try to make it as easy to do as possible
