Hardfork 20 and, witness update!
I'm building applications on the Steem blockchain because I believe in Steem with all of its problems (centralization and etc)
Development is not an easy job. It is normal to see bugs after an update in any software. This is why we should test any update before launching in production.
I'm operating several steem nodes for production usage. For example, Steemauto needs private and dedicated RPC node to operate in maximum capacity.
This week, Steemit inc. released 5 patches (so far) for Steem blockchain and reindexing each patch takes several hours up to several days for full nodes. This is why Steem wallet is closed on all of the exchanges. I think those exchanges will open Steem wallet in a few days after stable release.
At least we have
as an always available exchange for Steem users: https://blocktrades.us
I'm trying to bring value to the Steem blockchain. I will support any positive activity on Steem blockchain.
I think we need more ways to attract investors, users, and developers. I think if we just attract more regular users, investors and developers will come through.
We can not bring Youtube to the Steem blockchain because we don't have such viewers or active users in the Steem blockchain. More active users will bring more applications to try Steem.
I think with Discounted Account Creation system (using RC), we may achieve more active users by implementing the instant registration system to the Steem blockchain.
More active users will enable Steem blockchain to use advertisement. We can make the world's largest blockchain community. A place to introduce decentralized applications to the more talented users.
All of these will bring value to the Steem blockchain without considering SMT!

Should we wait for Steemit inc. to develop all of these? No. This will take years!
Let's create and support more groups of people to work on the Steem blockchain. It is possible with the help of the Steem community.

Share your thoughts in the comments.
The latest released version of Steem blockchain is v0.20.5
My witness node and seed node is already on the latest version. Steemauto is also on the latest version.
Now, Steemauto should work without any problem. (But, low RC may prevent you from upvoting or posting)
Here you can vote me as a witness
Thanks for your support
