Steem blockchain activity significantly down since Hive fork

By Solominer | Solominer | 27 Mar 2020


The fork to Hive has had quite the impact on the Steem blockchain, with only about a quarter as many operations occurring pre-fork. It would seem most dapps have left the space, causing a drop in activity.

I hope that Hive joins Blocktivity soon, so the stats of both chains can be compared on the same page.

At Steems peak I saw over a million operations, this was before the resource credits were in place. So maybe there was more spam going in at the time. Though after hard fork 20 we saw the operations drop from over a million down into the 800k range.

After the fork done by the community, you can clearly see many have "packed their bags, and left the blockchain" so to say.

Or maybe this drop is related to the Steemit.com website going down, and nodes owned by Steemit (now Justin Sun) going offline randomly. This could also cause a drop in operations, as users of the blockchain cannot create transactions when the system is down.

A few days ago we were greeted with a Internal server error message for Steemit.com and it was down for most of the day. At this time blocktivity was showing Steem with a activity of under 100k operations which I have never seen it that low in my years on this blockchain.

I plan to keep posting on the Steem blockchain, but with these outages I may not be able to share as much content on this platform. If others are stable ill prefer to post to them, but for right now im cross posting my content on Hive and Steem.

To buy Hive, you can do so on Bittrex.
