Have you read the latest update from Steemit Blockchain Team? Looks like they are making progress on Smart Media Tocken (SMT).
Here is the link for the full update: https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/steemit-blockchain-team-update-appbase-rocksdb-bandwidth-hf20-smts-and-more
Two interesting topics are HF20 and SMTs.
This is what they have to say about HF20:
Hardfork 20 has been on the back burner for a while as we focused on scalability-related solutions, but it is time to put it back on the front burner. We don’t have an exact date for the hardfork yet, but we are targeting early Q3 of 2018. More details will be shared on HF20 as the development progresses.
and here is what they have to say about SMTs:
We know that everyone is eager and excited to have SMTs completed and launched into production as soon as possible. So are we! Our dedicated team is working around the clock to make this happen. The first major milestone we are aiming to achieve is to have an SMT testnet (called “Forerunner”) up and running, where developers can start to play around with some of the implemented features.
It would be interesting to see when SMT forerunner begins.
HF20 is slated for 3rd quarter 2018. Maybe soon after, in 4th quarter 2018 SMTs will be ready? When do you think the SMTs will be ready?
