[ANN] [STEEM] Introducing Steem, Looking for Witnesses / Miners

[Frodo]

Just to be sure: It is enough to know the private keys that were used for mining to later access the funds?

[JoeyD]

So far has anyone decided if it's worth it?

Steem doesn't have a price .. so it's a bet ..

How about run with a MacBook Pro for 24 hours then get ~40 STEEM?

By the way, we're happy commenting on the chain, @xeroc join us?

I've been in need of an excuse to compare my diy NAS against a vps. So I used this as  a one month competition for laughs.

AMD FX 8320 vs 6 core XEON

FIGHTFrom what I've seen you should get more than 40 STEEM in 24 hours with a 12 core machine, although not in the thousands. I am a little shocked to see how bad a modern XEON VPS seems to perform in comparison to my lowly AMD FX machine. The latter seems to be more than capable to keep up while using only 6 cores out of 8 and while doing quite a few other intensive tasks like running 2 taxing vms on the side.

So it seems that running on bare metal gets you quite a bit of an advantage, still not sure if the amount of STEEM you get is worth it though. Maybe after a couple of weeks you can afford the transaction fee of moving a little to VEST and even have a cool entire dozen of VEST. What are the transaction fees btw? I did a test transfer from STEEM -> VEST with some 70+ and ended up with 3 VESTs. I also seem to vaguely recall reading that registering a name costs 100 STEAM.

Only 0.47% of STEEM is liquid in individual accounts, this is going to make the pump on CMC legend... wait-for-it... dary!

I'd like to buy STEEM .. Anyone willing to sell some OTC?

you can run a 12 core jiffybox for 24 hours for 3,60 € and u maybe get like ~40 steem

How much? 360 or 3.60? And what is that in USD?

So far has anyone decided if it's worth it?

Thanks to whoever made it.

I'm here from bitcointalk. This thread seems to be a little meatier than the bitcointalk thread. I like the technical info although I have no idea what a brownie is.

About my involvement in STEEM: I've mined this coin since before it launched 

I'd like to run a delegate/witness node, so here is more:

I have been following crypto for about 2.5 years now and it was only a few short months after my first purchase of BTC before I started getting involved on the development side. Lately, I have been working with the Eclipse dev team as a programmer. To clarify things, we have several devs. I am the lead (overly-outspoken) programmer. We also have an administrative dev and a cryptography expert. We are all "equals", leading different parts of the project.

I have expertise in enough programming languages not to bother mentioning them all. One language I will mention is C++ because much of crypto is written in it. I've studied cryptocurrency code so much that I can read through it like a newspaper and can spot logic bugs without even running the code. I have written a lot of cryptocurrency code for many projects.

I have many years of experience in system administration, setting up long running networks both as a consultant and salaried professional.

If I run a witness, I will do so using a top-tier cloud platform like google, amazon, or azure.

I prefer my witness account to be "steemed" if I am selected. I also have steemroller and steemer, and many, many others.

I have been putting everything into vests, even at the low rates we have been getting now. I was probably one of the first people with vests after relaunch.

I'm excited to see where this project will go. I have been recruiting new participants behind the scenes, and even helped a few people at BCT both on the board and privately.

Even if I didn't have a stake in this project, I'd be enthusiastic about its progress as the devs' goal is one of the well known killer dapps that will serve a useful purpose to society.

 

welcome on board!
We are happy to have you here.

Who are these investors let in on the ground floor?  Were they Brownie holders?  I'm a brownie holder and didn't here anything about this opportunity.

 

YES what about brownies holders? I thought it is a BM asset... When bm wins brownies should rise! not?

Perhaps I haven't won yet.  I intend to buy back brownies with some of my STEEM once all the infrastructure is in place to do it.  I need to know how much STEEM I personally end up with.

It seems CNX/blocktrades guys will be very rich if STEEM has some value.

Only 0.47% of STEEM is liquid in individual accounts, this is going to make the pump on CMC legend... wait-for-it... dary!

I hope the price feeds to CMC will be running and STEEM will be exclusive to BitShares DEX 

That's an impressively small amount, possibly too small. CMC has been pretty lenient with vesting balances in the past, (XRP founder shares & BTS merger shares for example) but with such a high amount vesting, it's quite possible CMC/others will only count the liquid, currently tradeable 0.47% towards the valuation.
