It's Hive Time.

Very excited to see the future of Decentralized Social Media evolve here on Hive.

Looking forward to the STEEM ecosystem migrating to a community driven chain free from Steemit Launch stake.

Thank you to the Witnesses and developers that helped make this possible in record time.

As my work continues on WeYouMe, I will be making many protocol level upgrades to the STEEM chain, including:

• Private Posting
• Private Messaging
• Business Accounts ( Txn Permissions controlled by on-chain voting )
• Private Communities ( With full database objects within consensus, instead of hive account + json model )
• User Issued Assets ( Bitshares Style assets, stablecoins, and more )
• CryptoEquities ( Assets with automated dividend payments and business account voting rights )

After launching and fully testing these features on the WeYouMe chain ( as many require a thorough rewiring of the entire codebase, with many hardforks to clean up ) The code will be open and available to the Hive community and Graphene as a whole.

To the Hive.blog Devs, thank you for your quick turn around time in getting an interface spun up.
I would recommend getting an IPFS image hosting solution built in as the current image hosting feature in the condenser is causing errors. For inspiration, check out:

Additonally, for a working implementation of custom JSON transaction based AES encrypted private messaging for Hive accounts, in addition to encrypted private posts, inline tipping button, merged feeds, and more check out:

Which powers https://alpha.weyoume.io/.
