There will be another livestream with @ned tonight. You can read about it here.
And use this link to watch the live stream here. You can't embed livestreams on steemit.com so when you get an error on this site you know why.
I personally want to hear more confidence restoring talk and learn more about the current plan. I'm also hoping to hear some ideas about monetisation of the blockchain.
I think we will learn a lot tonight (Dutch time).
Timeline
Yesterday @ned posted a timeline (not hard to miss its pinned on steemit.com, nice feature!) of development for the next 3-4 months. Check it out here.
The first priority is to lower the cost of the nodes. I am all in favour of this because it will decentralise the blockchain a lot. It will also be much more affordable for anyone that needs a full node to afford one.
With this announcement they also passed on the offer @blocktrades made. At first I wasn't sure because the offer was about witness servers and not full nodes. But @blocktrades confirmed.
Another important announcement from the post is that SMT's are not of the table as I expected. That's great news for apps that were building a business around them.
They will not be as full featured as previously promised at first.
From the post:
The scaled-down SMTs scope includes these features: claiming names, tokens, issuance of tokens to one account, transfers between accounts, immutability (meaning that once a token is launched none of its original parameters can be altered) and a testnet.
But it's a good start and later other features will be added.
That's it for now. Tune in tonight to learn more. I will be there.
O and I did buy some STEEM today as well. Maybe foolish but I couldn't help myself.
Have a good day, cya tonight :)
