I don't think your analogy was all that poor @svemirac … and, besides...I happen to like dandelions very much. Here in the USA most people consider this wonderful pant an invasive weed, brought here by Europeans many years ago "as a food source".

Me...??? I still use it as a food source, and pick it for free in my backyard :>)

Hope all is well with you my friend.

Yeah we still use it as a salad, well not me personally but people - it's nice. and yellowy and then spreads all over the world.

DAmned be Europeans! :D :D

DAmned be Europeans! :D :D

Yeah...such horrible creatures...lol

Beautiful pictures @svemirac and even though you claim your analogy to be "very poor" I believe your blockchain imitates nature comparison is spot on. For example, I see the milky way every time I pour creamer into my coffee or the Sahara when I look at the sand formations on the floor of a beach. Thank you

Ooooh, I see milky way everywhere I look, and accretion of matter to black hole in the milk-coffee relation!

Thanks for kind words and taking time to leave a comment!
Appreciate that!

By reading different discord channels I was able to figure out how to change nodes and give myself some limited access... ability to vote, claim tokens, and even make a post. Quite amazing to me what I was able to accomplish. :)

HELL YEAH!
It is amazing, and I don't like not being able to do anything on steem... ah addiction is hard with this one :) getting of fb was relatively easy, having no steem is urghhh :) let's say hard :)

Yeah, I'm so glad I gave up FB years ago. It never felt quite right to me. Of course like you say, now I have this steem addiction too. :)

Those macro photos are beautiful. And your analogy is interesting.

Its awesome that Palnet is up and running and that there are ways of accessing and interacting with the blockchain even while other access points are experiencing issues. Multiple options is important.

I liked the dandelion analogy. It makes sense to me. Greats photos as well :)

Thanks :) luckily everything is getting back to normal, almost all nodes are up and working! We are good! :D

I did the same thing, used the anyx.io node to post...

but there are various reasons why that is not happening on steem and we are highly dependant on steemit's infrastructure

Can you explain me why it's not happening? Is it because of infrastructure cost?

Cost, laziness, it requires a lot more skill than running a witness (nowadays you can get completely configured witness node, and run it with 2 commands)...
pick one :)
but yeah it is still way more expensive than just running a witness node, at some point we had to drop curie's node due to price and all other costs we had, but it shouldn't be much of an expense for people in top20 that are dedicated and know what they are doing. :)

Great photo.
