*the following letter is fake I do not represent SteemIt, Inc on any level, I do not know what steps they have taken. I do not understand the current issues from any level except the end user point of view. This is a creative writing exercise and is completely fictional. No staff members were consulted or injured during the making of this post.
Hey St**mians,
The St**mIt, Inc. Team wanted to thank everyone for their patience with the site over the last few weeks starting with the DDOS attack. The DDOS attack has been mitigated and although I would love to tell you what steps we have taken to further ensure this doesn't happen again, doing so may compromise our efforts. We want you to know we take the safety and security of your funds very seriously and at no time was there risk to wallets or funds stored on the Steem Blockchain We will always prioritize security above performance.
As most of you have noticed the performance of the site is still unacceptable, we have some issues with how the cog is interfacing with the gizmo and we have our best team members focused on resolving those issues. If you are knowledgeable on cog to gizmo troubleshooting please join the conversation at fake.gethub.address and see if you can help solve the problem.
In other news we have been very busy with promoting SMTs and although we are aware some of you have mixed feeling about these we are really excited about the flexibility they will give the growth of the platform and the ability for all of you to customize and fund various communities. We have some great leads in the works, all we can say is stay tuned!
In the midst of these issues we are looking forward to a great and productive time at Steemfest and we are excited to meet many of you there.
Remember SteemIt is the first social media site funded and powered by a blockchain and together we are working towards a vision of world domination. Evil laugh.. Watch out Mark Z.
Thank you again for your patience.
The St**m Team.
Again this letter is fake. Please don't thank me for bringing you information. This letter was authored by me, straight from my imagination.
If you were in charge, what would you say?
