WT... Why. do I keep losing money, replies don't stick, buffering continues and I cant upvote others?

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

Really? Why? Is this the norm? Will it go away?

My money goes down, not up, right before I get my payout. Will it sometimes go up?

My replies don't appear to stick, then later I might see that they did. Now there are several of them because i kept trying. The buffering is continuous.
Then, worse, I cant upvote others.
Am I going mad, or is this normal?

I am guessing this prevents others from doing the same with me..

You’re in the same boat 🚣 we all are in. Without stating the obvious steemit has had some performance problems of late. And payouts fluctuate up and down with steem price. They are working on the performance thingy.....I hope. 😁

I wish the problems helped with money going up instead of down, why don't problems ever happen like that? 😁

Yep, we're in a bit of a rough patch here at the moment. I've dialed back my usage a bit due to the frustration. But it's got to get fixed eventually. In the meantime, there are other ways to access the same steem blockchain. busy.org seems to be the most popular but I haven't tried it yet. I just keep hoping everyday that this is the day things are back to smooth sailing. I've been here since almost the beginning and I'm not going anywhere. It's a rollercoaster for sure, but that's the thrill. :)

What is busy.org @kenny-crane? I looks to me like it is Steemit. I am confused, can you help me out with that?

Think of it like this. There is data and then there is a way to do things with the data. The Steem blockchain holds the data. The Steemit.com website lets you view the data and add more data by posting, commenting and voting. Anyone can make something similar to steemit.com that works with the exact same data on the Steem blockchain. Busy.org is one such website that is similar to steemit.com and accesses the same exact data.

That said, steemit.com might now be more responsive. They have implemented a new way to interact with the steemit blockchain. If you hear about Jussi, that is it. So let's see how things work here on steemit the next few days. For me, its much much better already!

@kenny-crane Can i post the same post on Busy.org and on Steemit.com? are they different, or do they go to the same place?

ps. I notice folks upvote for good comments, but what about good questions? lol, thats how i make my living, setting up others for a good answer from a good question, lol.

They both go to the same place and can be viewed, commented and voted on at both places. There's no telling what people will up vote, and even when you think you know, they can change! Not everyone is here every day, our vote power keeps changing so if we're low we may not vote, and our feed is long so we may miss posts. And it takes much longer to conceive of, and compose a comment. Especially with the site issues lately. People will be more likely to interact once they know you. Bring your current fans, but they will not have much voting power when they are new. Spend most of your time commenting on others' stuff here, as I think that's the best way to get people to know you. Best wishes! :)

Darn, i had 0.03 upvote, but now it just went to 0.02 when i just upvoted you... arg
~bluerocktalk🖖

I appreciate the vote! Actually I think we have 3 decimal places in this currency so maybe went from 0.030 to 0.029 :) With Bitcoins, there are 8 decimal places, so the lowest amount you can have is one-hundred millionth of a Bitcoin. It even has a name, its called a Satoshi in honor of this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoshi_Nakamoto

Thanks @kenny-crane, I will keep doing that. I appreciate that!

Hey Connie, I used similar pic of you in my squatchman tweet BEFORE I saw this now. Is that cool, or what??? I swear to you, when I saw the pic of you here I thought you got idea from me, haha. I can't believe you you posted this 10 hours ago. :-). I have rest of my story below. Now I see why you asked me about STEEMIT and... I just got here now with my old account. Didn't have to sign in. So my password was copied correctly first time. It was so wild to see pic of you. Great minds, yodel yodel yodel. :-) 🖖🏼🖖🏼

@johnz, I don't check twitter much.. i need to go in there
~bluerocktalk🖖

Try with usesteem.com. But only log in with posting key.It's the same as steemit and working fine.

interesting, thanks @oldtimer. Why are there ore than one, I don't understand.
~bluerocktalk🖖

steemit. com is just one of the gates to steem blockchain.

@oldtimer
does it matter which one you go on? Why different gates?
~bluerocktalk 🖖

Everybody can built one. You have busy.org, steemit.com, useseem.com, esteem for smartphones, chainbb.com, steemitstage.com

IF you know how to build one...
~bluerocktalk🖖

You need 2 more "whys" in there. As in, "WT...Why, Why, Why do I keep losing money... I am ghost writer, trust me😂. Just trying to make you laugh, Connie! 🖖🏻

No worries. here are more votes. be sure to read up on advice and strategies, you can advise me too.

This started pretty much right as you joined. It has lasted longer than I thought, but I'm assuming the issues will be fixed.
Steemit used to work flawlessly...

I hope so, I am promoting this on my Youtube channel. I think its awesome! But with these problems happening after they FINALLY get approved is not helping our cause. I am hanging in!
~bluerocktalk🖖

Steemit is really sucking lately! So slow!! It's days like this that make you think, should I stay or should I go!

"Should I Stay or Should I Go"?
DEVO!
~bluerocktalk🖖

We’re all experiencing this. It’s frustrating but they are working on fixing this.

Glad to know, thanks @kp138

Either you're not going mad, or you and I are both going mad together. I feel your pain. ;( I've taken to copying everything before I press
"post."

I have done the same. Intelligent minds think alike! 😀
~bluerocktalk🖖

Agreed! Seems to be working a bit better at the moment...(but I'm still copying everything, lol)

Agreed, so I hurried up and posted something. 😁

Keep watching and raoming, you will learn more... I am doing the same
