[ANN][STEPS] Let's make a new altcoin environment

[Tortoise75]

is it just random/chance if a block joins with another block or if it Splits into 2 blocks???

The ones I observed so far was a 4k input split, one time 2 500 inputs fuse and one time 4 250 inputs fuse, all of them the only stake in that input size range, and all 6 1k input stakes just added the reward. Looks like a pattern but by far not enough data though, didn't observe what they were doing until 2 weeks ago. But I'm curious what the code says and were in github the part is that describes PoS. I don't know programming so I'd have a hard time finding it but am also curious what I could decipher once I know what I'm looking at it.

Just an update, altcoinsteps is not available today but will answer this question first thing when he is back.

I'm glad to get some of these coins. I'm going to try and gather some more before it hits bittrex and polo. 
Nice to see a good coin hit the market

I'm curious when these other exchanges will take in Steps.

That makes two of us, I watched a conversation with some mods in the Polo box.
My feeling was that STEPS was seen in a positive light so I'm a little puzzled. But then again they are not quick,
I'm sure it will get there eventually.

I know the devs are pushing as hard as they can.

I trade over at Polo and talk about steps to a few people, but that place is a bit closed off for coins that aren't listed ( rightly so )

I would like to see STEPS listed on poloniex.  Really hard to get onto that exchange though.

I see the web wallet is up on STEPS site.  How are you planning on getting the payment gateway to work?  Will STEPS be added to a site like coinpayments or will it be a custom setup?  The online store will it be like ebay where people can put their items up for bid or like ETSY where you have a fixed price, or will the store be run by the devs only?

I didn't make any mention of my worries with the exchange before because TBH i didn't think STEPS would last this far.  But since I have already ROI'd and development seems to be humming along fairly well I feel I can express my worries now.

Don't you think 5 minute blocktimes are too slow to run an exchange on?  Look at NXT for example.  They have slower block times and their decen exchange is terrible! 

Bitshares 2.0 on the other hand is very responsive.  But they have 3 second block times. Over 100x faster than STEPS block times. 

Or will the exchange be centrally hosted with STEPS being the head currency like they do with DOT over at cryptopia?

IF the STEPS team could beat 3 second block times without implementing DPoS that would make the currency far more useful than BTS 2.0 is as everybody would be contributing to processing blocks versus BTS 2.0 where only 101 people are making all the money and processing all of the blocks.

Thank you for your well thought out post, will will provide some more information in due course. You did give us some food for thought and we will consider it.

We take this project very seriously and as stressed out before Steps is here for the long term.

Looks like UberPay added STEPS as a supported coin to their wallet

That would perhaps explain the sudden buying happening today.

I installed the app for my phone.  STEPS isnt fully integrated because shapeshift.io hasn't added STEPS.

really impressed with what you guys are doing over here. Finding a solid new coins isn't easy now a days.

The Devs are working hard and have been honest and upfront about everything so far, it's quite refreshing actually.

Myself and Hashmaster have been rallying the community in our various ways and we're growing larger by the day. This is a solid coin with solid plans to help take us forward

We already contacted shapeshift.io to add Steps, I will send them an update with our latest developments and hopefully they will add us soon. Maybe the community must all send tweets to shapeshift and request that they add Steps.
