Tower: A REST API implementation on the top of Hivemind by Hive account@emrebeyler [development]

This new development streamlines many of the blockchain’s processes, and dramatically decreases the cost of running a full Steem node. While it may be a little bit difficult for new devs on the blockchain to quickly grasp the new changes, one of our brilliant moderators quickly rose to the challenge and developed a REST API interface for this new technology. Many Steem devs have expressed their appreciation for this API. Consider checking it out.
