I think @xeroc or @svk might know what's up.

Steem is for announcements and fun, the Forum for real work.

There is not that much to talk about now.

The product is stable.  No new features are being added other than maybe stealth at some point.  Not really any new projects.

Personally I think steem is just a giant circle jerk of people that post shit content in the hopes of getting upvoted by a whale.  The people that are making money are usually chicks who post half naked pictures while useful post get completely buried by crap.

The whole scheme of making money to like posts on the internet is extremely shady to me.  The pump was also a giant just a manipulation of CMC.

It is stable, sure, but I can see so much more innovation!

Stop-loss and stop-profit orders for instance, really high on my books.

STEALTH is coming.

We still need to recruit a network of global entrepreneurs and expand the fiat gateways that are available.

Marketing (online and offline) could be improved A LOT.

Just some items out of the top of my head!

Smartcoins Wallet v1.0.5 released on F-Droid:

@kenCode

Awesome!!

I wish I had better news, but I installed the app, and when creating an account, a red X with a circle around it is all that ever happens.. I waited about 10 mins before giving up.

I am proxying through Tor (it's me, after all) - does the wallet connect to any endpoints "protected" by the horrid cloudflare? That will break functionality, as cloudflare throws a captcha, and the app has no clue .. happens with the default configuration for copay and greenaddress, for instance ..

While I like steemit as much as the next person over here, something has been concerning me as of late, and that is how fewer people appear to be posting fewer posts .. meanwhile if we look at steemit, we are all active there 

I wrote my opinion about this phenomenon .. it's not meant to be a controversial post, though I can see how some will see it that way ..

Let me know what you think ..

The next chapter will touch on using smartcoins instead of sending funds to a bank account.

Unfortunately I think I will have to limit the scope of that chapter to bitUSD and bitCNY, because of the price feed issue currently present in bitsquare for other smartcoins (see https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,23011.msg297740.html#msg297740)

Anyhow, don't expect the next chapter until a week from now (at least), I'll see if we can get the bitsquare feed thing sorted out first, because I would really like to appeal to people's national currencies instead of generic USD (why bitUSD when you have SteemUSD, steemians will ask) and CNY (I suspect all/most the chinese over at steemit already know about bitCNY .. )

Price feeds are defined with respect to BTS, but you could use the feed for BTC to convert the others to be with respect to BTC.

That seems to be the best solution imo.

The best solution would  be to convince some trusted party, like ccedk, to set up an escrow service right in openledger for peer2peer exchange between bitshares assets and out of chain assets.

I believe you are still grossly misunderstanding the situation.
