This is why external revenue sources being fed into Steem (e.g. from Steemit) are important in the long term:

This seems like a fair argument for steem power over locking and I guess steem dollars vs dollars is just subjective. With a billion users already Facebook could sell pictures of farts and become successful

I overwrote the blockchain and turned mining off but it just crashed again witness.cpp:98

I also get this same case with the same errors (both in steemd and in the cli_wallet) on an AMD Opteron based Windows 10 machine (Windows just tell me it has stopped working rather than talking about

The typical user must only be concerned with two numbers. The amount of Steem Dollars (SMD) they have, and the percentage fraction of the total Steem Power (SP) they own. STEEM is something that the typical

If it made some sort of noise to make you aware of it so you could stay put then it could probably avoid crashes just detecting if anything was blocking its path. Anyone with a couple of bikes on the roof

This seems potentially quite cool although in the video it seems like it maybe has some big rails built for it that take up quite a lot of road space? Are the rails part of this or are they something else?

I just want to understand this better too and clarify - you mean the first year ever is an anomaly as the supply of Steem is issued, rather than the first year of issuance after a reset? So presumably

Thanks for these clarifications, I've updated the parent/grandparent post reference. The Steem Power -> Steem conversion process I am still trying to get my head around though. Is the 'Power Down' like
