A robin came to visit while we were digging. A bit more work done in the allotment. We managed to fix the rotavator. It had a damaged fuel tank so we took the tank off an old petrol generator and bodged it onto the rotavator.
Paddy and Minnie rotavating 🙂
Now the ground is ready to plant into, its Time to plant some potato’s.

I have just read apparently all the information I get about the, let me named as “the Sudden creation of another HARDFORK for Steem” in order to implement by one side the so called “STEEM PROPOSAL SYSTEM (SPS)” on which I don’t have anything against and, by the other side, an “Economic Improvement Proposal (EIP) ” on which I have serious doubts about its efficiency as a solution.
I do not want to explain here what all of these changes would mean, instead I am going to point you to the post of @timcliff which, in my opinion is sufficiently clarifying (…or not)…
Please, read this post.
They are trying to fix “the problem” of the steem blockchain by implementing a 50%/50% rewards for content creators and curators respectively as IMO major change. Very difficult to forecast the result of the change… looks like in principle, content creator would lost part of their rewards in order to encourage curators find good content to upvote for… It is still to be demonstrated that this change or the change of moving from a linear rewards curve to a convergent linear rewards curve will motivate ORCAS and WHALES to change their upvoting behavior or stop delegating SP to bidbots or the like… But this post is more related with the fact that STEEM has a problem of MARKETING as well. We are sitting at the 61th position of the TMC…
Would you think this sudden HF will help to get more investors on STEEM?
If you were an investor looking for altcoins to buy right now, which one you would choose?
The more visible, the best marketed, the one with less internal problems or, the one that is in permanent economical change since the beginning and with an uncertain HARDFORK result coming?
I’m not against improvements if they are so…but I really think the exposed proposals are drastic changes, which can complicate even more the things to the already damaged STEEM price.
@timcliff also listed as a part of the problems that:
“Little to no marketing is being done.“
…and there is nothing proposed yet neither a plan to solve that point and I don’t see how HF21 will fix it in short to medium term…
For me it is clear that before doing anything at the level of changing the CODE we should focus on the MARKETING aspect more seriously and, to tell you the thruth, I do not understand why the bloody SMT project is not even mention nowadays…at least now that seems that the costs will be reduced finally…
Perhaps we have to wait for the next, not the current one, Bull cycle in order to finally see someone reading how promising is the Steem blockchain…
Just looked at the CMC a few mins ago to see Bitcoin Fake i.e. BSV up 50%. Ive shared my opinion on these shitcoins many times so bashing BSV again is pointless. I was curious as to why it went up so much so i went on browsing.
Apparently someone shared some fake news about Bitcoin Fake on Wechat. The message said that Binance was listing BSV again which was ofc not true. Almost instantly BSV went up 65%.
On Steem we are having big debates about curation split, bots, parasitic psychopaths as if that will somehow affect the price. But does it really? All those things seem to only affect who gets more inflation and ends up with more Steem in the end. The authors or the big stake holders.
So it seems that all you need to do to moon STEEM is plant some news about STEEM being listed on a major exchange…. All you need is a screenshot to fix all our problems. Imagine that! Instead of thousands of pages of debates you could fix everything with a well placed screenshot carrying fake news.
…again on Author and Curation STEEM POWER REWARDS for the month of May!!!
Who was going to say to me one year ago that just by curation I would get close 30 Steem Power a month or more than 270 SP in rewards?
There is something extremely good for all the steemians still active here nowadays and it is the fact that it will be very difficult to have a better chance to increase the STEEM POWER of our account in the future as we are doing right now…
Not only because the price of STEEM is very low but also because anyone of us who keep posting, commenting and upvoting have more opportunities now of getting stake of the Rewarding Pool.
We are around 5000 daily Active steemians currently, and according to Steem.supply from @dragosroua there are 886,124 STEEM to be distributed among us:
I am very conscious on the fact that part of the reason why I am constantly breaking my All Time Record on Rewards is due to the diminution of the active members… but I am also conscious that it has brought to me the chance to further interact and engage with many actors here, enhancing my engagement and Steem network so, perhaps, I think I am not doing it so bad at the end…
Anyway, I am keeping this graph as a guide, the Gartner Hype cycle:
I think we are exactly at the “Trough of Disillusionment” . We have passed for all the stages”This is exactly the moment on which we don’t have to be distracted by the backlash of negative chatter at this stage of the hype cycle. This is our chance to race ahead of competitors who are pulling back from their missed results against earlier, unrealistic expectations.” (read more here).
We still are at an EARLY MARKET, I do not know if we touched already that CHASM which separates us from the MAINSTREAM MARKET (MASS ADOPTION) , but we are going towards there and when we reach that point it would be better for us to be prepared.
I am still amaze about the ingenuity of that post … they launched a shy initiative to promote steemit out of the steem blockchain borders…and the worst of everything is that 24 days have gone already and I did not manage to see anything about on twitter…
In the meantime, the market is reversing, the competitors are working hard and willing to launch a Steemit killer…and still there are people here who are debating about converging curation rewards and, 50/50% splits, downvote pools and the like…
Maybe they only think we are a gang of crazy guys trying to attract people to a useless place…
We must be crazy…
Is this the only thing you can do as a Marketing Campaign @steemit ?
Sorry guys but I am worried…
…and don’t tell me that STEEMIT is Not STEEM!
of course we are STEEM! and perhaps 5000 active steemians individuals filling twitter with seven77 push-ups may attract someone here or, maybe not because, seriously, If I would be a newbie in crypto I think I would not understand anything of what’s going on with Steem and what is trying to sell…
We need a straight message, something like “COME, BLOG and EARN CRYPTO!”
Thanks to BITCOIN, STEEM is recovering some places at the Total Coin Market Cap!
That’s great!
We are placed solidly at the 59th position, improved 2 places since a couple of days ago!!!
…and all this done without no advertisement, no marketing plan, neither update at Twitter nor even at the Blockfolio Signal… NOTHING!!!!
Sorry, yes, only with the own effort of ourselves, steemians, doing the impossible to promote the use of STEEM across all the borders of Twitter, Facebook etc…
777 Pushups
Dtube Forum
STEEM Meetings sporadically arranged anytime
#10kminnows
Where is the strategic Marketing Campaign!!!
What the heck means not being anymore at BETA???? Nothing changed besides technicalities!!!
MIRA would be a revolution only if we find USERS outside there!!!!
Forget about the SMT’s !!!! We NEED BUYERS!!! We NEED USERS!!!!
My Blockfolio signal keeps blinking about any other Crypto but STEEM.
TRYBE is rising! EOS is accelerating and we have competitors at the doors…
