Updates
KeyChain
As I mentioned in my last post, the open source browser extension KeyChain can now be used on SteemWorld to work with private keys in a more secure and comfortable way. If you didn't try KeyChain yet, I highly recommend to do so. It is currently only available for Chromium based browsers like Chrome, Brave and Opera, but other browsers like Firefox will also be supported in future.
Here is an example of how it looks like when claiming rewards via KeyChain:
As you can see, there is no need to enter a private key anymore, because the transactions are being signed and broadcasted in KeyChain. SteemWorld and no other website/app has access to your keys, because they are being securely stored in the browser's plugin storage by the use of AES encryption and a user defined password.
SteemWorld automatically detects a working KeyChain installation and it will from now on be used by default. In case there should be an issue when using KeyChain (claiming accounts and creating claimed accounts is not yet supported) it is possible to deactivate it in Settings:
Savings Withdrawals
There is a new tab in the Orders section, which shows our coming savings withdrawals:
By clicking on the X button we can cancel a planned withdrawal:
Same as it is for the Powerdown there will now show up a warning for new withdrawals when starting SteemWorld:
Voted Witnesses
It is now possible to remove witness votes directly in the Account Details -> Witness Votes section:
By clicking on Vote For Witness... we can also vote for witnesses that are not in the Top 100:
Transfer encrypted memo
In Tools -> Transfer there is a new Encrypt Memo box. In case you want to transfer encrypted messages, just check the box (starting the memo with # is no longer supported):
In the making
- Thinking about how to survive the current market prices (SteemWorld no longer free? Building a post promotion service? Ads?)
- Web service for loading the data in a more efficient way and to enable me to add many cool new features in future
- Different views / no limit in the posts overview
- Details for coming rewards (number of posts/comments, maybe a pie chart)
- Improved coming curation rewards overview
- RC costs calculation

Thank you for supporting my work!
Positive thoughts create a positive world. It all begins with connecting our thoughts with emotions. What we focus on is what becomes powerful. We are the creators of our world.
Much love,
Super Arbeit! Weiter so auch nächstes Jahr! Wünsche Dir nen guten Rutsch 🎊🎆
Gamification to incentivize supporters?
Add badges, count total value of support upvotes from users, give them badges here and there.
Then, unlock certain features for those who reached certain level.
When it comes to optimize infrastructure (costs/performance) needed for your services, contact me on Steem.Chat, I might be able to help.
I like the idea of some kind of gamification for the SteemWorld user base. Everybody likes to "get things," even if they are not of direct monetary value. If you could double the number of votes cast for your weekly support post, I'm sure it would help. And maybe a special "Gold Badge" for those who don't merely upvote the post, but gives a 100% upvote.
A lot of people in this community like the idea of a "gift economy" and "pay it forward," and that can certainly be fueled by the promise of recognition for support.
=^..^=
Great suggestion! It is the same that I made just now in my comment.
I am entirely convinced that steemit will survive this crypto winter while many other coins will fail, becaus we have the very best community the world has ever seen.
Totally with Gandalf on this one - add "steemworld points" on the model of Partiko. Ask for some delegations (I would gladly delegate some SP) and use the SP to upvote people who do nice things - you'll be getting an additional income from curation.
lieber @steemchiller,
Nachträglich noch frohe Weihnachten und Prosit 2019!!
Hoffe das du uns noch lange auf der Steem Blockchain
Erhalten bleibst, lg 🤠
Wow great news!
Keychain is awesome! Thanks for implementing it and your work!
Grüße ;)
Posted using Partiko Android
Compliments of the season.
Thank you, @SteemChiller, for the great work that you do.
With your promotion of it @steemchiller and my confidence in you, I have installed Keychain in my Brave browser and set it up with my Active Private password. I have yet to use it, but presumably it is now "good to go" ...
As a quick test, I tried some other Steem apps. They still required SteemConnect, so not sure how widely known Keychain is and / or what the rate of adoption will be. As with most anything else, competition (if done right) is healthy, so I guess we'll find out!
One small matter to report this week. Recently, upon loading SteemWorld, I have noticed my reputation score has dropped. Not a big drop, but it does drop. Then, it goes back to where it was for awhile. Then it drops again ...
Not sure what that represents, but thought I would bring it to your attention. I believe you mentioned in a recent update post, that you were experiencing some changes, so perhaps this is just a temporary matter that you are already familiar with.
As we head in to 2019, with you and all of our fellow Steemians, sure hoping the prices go back up to something more sustainable!
Kannst du eine taegliche post machen? Es kann ja einfach sagen dass es eine post ist dich in deiner Arbeit zu uterstuetzen und kann ein Bild oder was einfaches haben. Und alle die die Steemworld benutzen koennen dich aud autovote setzen...
Danke dir, das hört sich gut an! Guten Rutsch in ein entspanntes Jahr 2019!
Vielen Dank für die großartige Arbeit! Vielleicht könntest Du einen upvote-Button neben der SteemPower Anzeige oben links installieren, mit Keychain könnte man Dich direkt upvoten, wenn Du jedesmal ein Kommentar erzeugst mit Dir als Begünstigten (ich benutze aber leider Firefox). Ich weiß nicht, ob du das willst aber wenn Du das Projekt OpenSource machst, müsste es doch auch Utopian upvotes geben und Ned würde dich evtl. unterstützen.
At this point, I would like to express my respect and praise for the Steemworld project. Although I can do no more than reward each week's report with a vote, I wish all the best for the New Year, and thank you for the work you are putting into the project.
