Steemit.chat Being Updated

Update5: And we're back. Let's never do that again.

Update4: Brought down to adjust some configs for multi-threading.

Update3: The performance issues are being worked on.

Update2: 4.3 GB/6.7 GB (65.2%) of messages restored. Folks have had a lot to say haha.

Update: If steemit.chat didn't exist would it move the conversation to steemit.com? Would that be good or bad? Discuss.

Sorry for the down time folks. I was made aware of a security vulnerability for older versions of Rocket Chat (we were on 0.56). The only solution was to update version which requires a database conversion. We're going to skip a bunch of versions to 0.60.0 which comes with its own issues.

If you use a mobile client be sure to download Rocket.Chat+ (note the plus sign at the end)
Currently mobile reactions aren't working. Hopefully that'll be resolved in an upcoming release.

The new version has a lot of performance optimizations but requires a different configuration than the current setup we've been optimizing over the past year or so. I ask that you please be patient with the admins and moderators while we get things back up to snuff.

Steem on!

James aka Riverhead.

Hi @riverhead... can you enable the changing of usernames and emails. I think it's very useful to the users. Because I just wondering if I can change my username /@john.alex.ladra to /@johnalexladra.

Great job! Looks as if the new ddos protection fixed the performance problems and it's currently working really fast again ;)
@steemflow(80)· 3146d
@riverhead the current version is quite colorful with nice set up. But still facing few congestion and slowness. Hopefully it get resolved sooner.

Stemit.chat is Steemit lifeline, that keeps users interact with each other. :)

Hello @riverhead how to join this steemit. chat?
@allmonitors(80)· 3150d
Integrating the chat to Steemit interface, why not? Can't wait for it, hopefully an SMT will also be part of it to incentivize those we chat to..just saying, I dont know much about tech stuff. Way to go!
@themarkymark(81)· 3150d
If it didn’t exist I’d set up a slack channel :)

I must say I like it. Usually, my eyes and brain can't take a design change within the first hour or so as it is simply not used to it. But this, I really liked.

Just the simple addition of profile pictures next to people's names rather than just the @ sign is really helpful.

Well done.
@arrjey(53)· 3150d
Get well Soon!!! my life is empty without this chat. I don't know what to do with my hands anymore. :(

you guys are awesome, (To all the people working to keep the chat running. "Thank you So much <3")
@the01crow(69)· 3150d
When they activate the chat again ?

There are communities activated within the chat, whenever I enter they are only spam, is it any of you who know active communities? If you know them, let me know.
@walidsalah(57)· 3150d

@nicnas(66)· 3150d
Thanks for the needed update. We rely on steemit.chat and appreciate your working to keep it going. :)
@rivercityguy(48)· 3150d
My answer to the question is: bad. It would be really bad not to have steemit.chat, because it really doesn't have any alternative, even though people use discord. Thank you for doing this, using your precious time so we could have a platform for a nice chat with other steemians. I am fairly new to steemit, but when I first came I didn't know much about steemit, and I've got all my answers on steemit.chat so thank you once more. Have a nice day!
@acromott(73)· 3150d
Thanks for the update and all your support!!

The < bot > messages while steemit chat was down yesterday were hilarious! I love how it was recommending people to go check out acroyoga!! ;)
@nazmul82(55)· 3150d
