Steemit.chat Migrating to New Management

@riverhead@riverhead (62)3130d

Hello Steemians,

While hosting steemit.chat over the last year or so has been challenging and rewarding it's time to hand it off to another team that can better support and improve it. I am currently in talks with a couple of candidates who have expressed interest in taking it over so I suspect this transition will happen to sooner than later.

What to expect: The hope is that this will go smoothly with minimal service interruptions. That said this will be a one hundred percent platform change and there are a lot of moving pieces. I suspect we'll have some down time while the new environments get setup and the large data sets get migrated.

I'll keep you all posted as best I can but also look to whichever team eventually takes on this task to provide better system updates than I have in the past.

Thank you all for your support during the systems many ups and downs. There is a long list of people that help every day with the operations of the system and they should be able to continue to do so going forward if they wish.

Steem on!

Riverhead.

  • @creatr(71)· 2959d

    Greetings, @riverhead,

    Please pardon this 'off-topic' comment as coming from a Steemian who cares deeply about the platform and its future success.

    I'm here to ask: When do you plan to adopt Steemit condenser version 19.10?

    I encourage you, as a "Top 20" witness, to lead the way. Please update your witness node to 19.10 at the earliest possible opportunity, so that its much needed and long awaited features might be released as soon as possible for our use and enjoyment.

    Thank you kindly in advance for your prompt action in expediting this matter.

    Your fellow Steemian,

    @creatr

  • @mindhawk(52)· 3124d

    Curious what you think of my latest post, saw something you posted on BS about witnesses, I have similar questions, but maybe more fundamental: https://steemit.com/steemit/@mindhawk/privacy-workshop-7-down-the-steemit-inc-rabbithole

    plz lmk what you think. thx.

  • @jumowa(66)· 3125d

    Never used the chat much but now that there is such a hype about being it gone, I might check it out.

  • @rok-sivante(77)· 3126d

    hey man,

    pardon the off-topic comment…

    I made a post today regarding a large-scale idea to advance Steem’s development, and it was recommended to share with the witnesses to help get this in front of the audience who’d be in the position to do something with/about it:

    [The $1 Billion Steem Development Fund: How Steemit Inc.'s Stake Could Be Best Allocated To Grow A Thriving Network Of Applications And Users...](https://steemit.com/steemit/@rok-sivante/the-usd1-billion-steem-development-fund-how-steemit-inc-s-stake-could-be-best-allocated-to-grow-a-thriving-network-of)

    would be cool if you could have a read, and IF you feel it’d be a great idea that’d serve the community, forward to anyone in particular you know who might be in a position of influence to advance the discussion.

    either way, I thank you for your continued service to this community. 🙏

    cheers,

    Rok

  • @bien(69)· 3126d

    hoping that steemit.chat will be back soon, thank you for the hard work @riverhead

    Green thumbs up!

  • @josediccus(83)· 3126d

    Well so sad to see you exit this way, well beautiful memories, take a bow, we'd miss you

  • @josediccus(83)· 3126d

    I saw the sacking and obviously I feel steemitchat had come a long way, though I don't really know why you're leaving but well I feel there's been a lack of acrimony and a lot of strife, however it would be best to make a post explaining all that went down in my opinion

    I do hope to see steemitchat blossoming again, cheers

  • @testing123(48)· 3126d

    steemit.chat was a backward service that provided GREAT SERVICE to the steemit community.

    I make new friends all over the world on Steemit.chat! Then I fly out to see them...

    I'd like to understand WHY you were fired? Because the chat was never integrated into the Steemit login? Because they expected features that never happened after 1 year? Please tell us your side of why this could have happened.

  • @surfyogi(65)· 3126d

    I tell folks steemit.chat is the way for us to make new friends in the real world, based on initial intros on steemit.

    This service completes the circle of steemian acquaintance which makes us all very powerful in networking and friendships.

  • @fuentesjo3006(60)· 3126d

    @riverhead This information is of utmost importance to all users of the platform. It is also a good initiative to keep updated and that our platform does not present so often the failures that it has presented.

  • @planetauto(74)· 3126d

    Sad to see it go, you did a sterling job, thank you.

  • @testing123(48)· 3126d

    I have been on Steemit.chat for over 6 months, asked other steemit devs about "why is it down?" and none of them ever told me you ran steemit.chat.
    I spent some time explaining to other's why they needed to use it, why they needed to create a separate login, etc, etc.

    Why don't you just ask people to make you a top witness and carry on? I dno't really understand; you don't want to work on it any more?

    Hoping whatever comes down as replacement can integrate with exisitng Steemit login, for best user experience. Is that possible currently?

    I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO UNDERSTAND THIS BETTER if you have time to express about it, and I will also luk for other witnesses to give best wishes, or I may no longer support them, unless they tell much more about htis under the covers move...

  • @shan89900(32)· 3126d

    You,r doing great job about steemit-Chat when I was started steemit i dn,t konw about steemit-Chat about a month ago then someone told me about chat i there gett more support for my posting.....and i grow up my rank now..thanks fir sharing @riverhead.gona follow you for more contents about steemit...

  • @skypilot(71)· 3126d

    Hey! Sorry to see you leaving... thanks so very much for your contribution to the steemit platform. I can only hope that whomever picks up running chat does as great a job as you've done all this time. Truly enjoyed using it. Good luck in your new direction! And thanks again so very much!

  • @alexandraioana26(61)· 3126d

    You did a great job, so sorry you were undervalued! Wish you all the best @riverhead

  • @englishtchrivy(73)· 3126d

    damn .. I tried logging in Steemit chat and it says you've been fired. That sucks! thank you for all you've done it wasn't just chat you contributed here I for one shall never forget the kindness you've rendered to the many newbies of my batch back then you even did much effort on checking out the authenticity of a user by reaching out to their blog pages to verify it's really them THANK YOU and hopefully, we could get you back on top!

  • @mdsujon335(49)· 3126d

  • @nationalpark(64)· 3126d

    @riverhead, I would like to say thank you for the services you provided via steemit.chat. However, I am glad for this change.

    I am sorry to tell you that your adm of steemit.chat abused his power. For details please read:

    @followbtcnews, I suggest you read my articles, so you can make steemit.chat better. Thanks!

  • @papa-pepper(81)· 3126d

    You know how much I've appreciated all of your hard work. I thank you for all that you have already done and wish you the best in the future. I'm here if you need me. Be blessed and thanks for everything @riverhead.

  • @steevc(80)· 3126d

    Your work is appreciated, but I don't think many Steemians even know about witnesses. I've done a post that seems to have reached a few. Cheers

  • @nigelmarkdias(67)· 3126d

    Thank you for your work with Steemit.Chat @riverhead

  • @zelenicic(50)· 3126d

    Thank you for your service Riverhead

  • @fulltimegeek(69)· 3126d

    Thank you for the awesome service you provided. I hope new management is as good as you.

  • @sircork(66)· 3126d

    I support your decision and your remarks on the chat page replacement text, tho I am poking you for not bothering to link all the user names :P

    I've busted my ass for 1000s of hours here on projects, that contribute and in community leadership roles that build and grow the place.

    And yeah, while I don't feel jealous of the deserving witnesses above me, the red-dead ones and the dormant, non-existent, unreachable ones PISS ME OFF.

    Good call, making a stand, but your steemit.chat page came off a bit whiney bro, this post is much better at making your case.

  • @jerrybanfield(75)· 3126d

    @riverhead will you please put steemit.chat online again because we would all appreciate it? Here is the full post about it https://steemit.com/steem/@jerrybanfield/will-riverhead-bring-steemit-chat-online-until-followbtcnews-takes-over

  • @kryptik(66)· 3126d

    Where am I supposed to troll scammers now?

    The steemit.chat helped me grow my account and build lasting relationships here.

    Even though I was frustrated at times being a mod in #general, I happily did it for free because I felt like I owed a lot to the chat.

    Maybe I’ll spend some time actually posting now.

    Good luck my friend.

    Thanks for everything you have given me.

  • @finnian(58)· 3126d

    I'll admit, sadly, that I had not voted for your witness. That's all on me. I should have done better research on who was behind steemit.chat. As many people know, I loved the service and admin'd a few channels even. It is a very valuable tool and I cannot thank you enough for all the time and money you put into it.

    Thank you!

    I have voted for your witness too as I should have done in the beginning.

  • @ronaldmcatee(53)· 3126d

    its very sad that we no longer have it .. :p

  • @allasyummyfood(74)· 3126d

    I am really sorry you are leaving!! i just made a post to bring you back!!!! x

  • @bitfiend(61)· 3127d

    Still pretty new to the platform I am glad that there is someone to take it over. While it did take me by surprise, I am starting to see a little more how things are run around here. For what it's worth, thank you for the service you provided to the community and I hope the transition goes smoothly. May your future endeavors and contributions be rewarded with success!

  • @nicnas(66)· 3127d

    A lot of people are miserable that steemit.chat is down. I guess that is proof enough that you made something wonderful. Thanks man for putting in all that hard work for the community. Sorry that it happened the way it did.

  • @jameswoo(47)· 3127d

    thanks for having Steemit.chat up. I'm sure I got some traffic from there.

  • @tshering-tamang(62)· 3127d

    Saw @berniesanders post earlier

    https://steemit.com/steem/@berniesanders/i-completely-agree-with-riverhead

    but couldn't understand what he was talking about until I tried steemit.chat just now.

    Thank you for your service @riverhead

  • @r351574nc3(72)· 3127d

    I have yet to get into steem.chat. No registration email, no password reset email, not in my spam folder.

  • @wanderlass(59)· 3127d

    Hi @riverhead, thank you for steemit.chat. This is where I got my support when I was starting almost 2 months ago and until now. I was really shocked when I saw the message at steemit.chat. I was still on it earlier, and now I see the "where is steemit.chat message".

    I have voted you as my witness because what you do is valuable to me and to a lot who understands that Steemit is about building connections. I've done a lot of the connecting part at the chat. I wish you success on what you'll do next!

  • @yehey(64)· 3127d

    Thank you for giving us the platform.

    Cheers, @yehey

  • @teamsteem(74)· 3127d

    For some reason I thought the chat was migrating to a new server.

    Thank you for all the hard work you've putted into the Steemit chat and Steem in general.

    Take care!

  • @gtg(76)· 3127d
