<p dir="auto"><span>Just now, our beloved Steemit CEO <a href="/@ned">@ned submitted a pull request to the main steem code repository:
<p dir="auto"><center><span><a href="https://github.com/steemit/steem/pull/1237" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">https://github.com/steemit/steem/pull/1237 - Update README.md #1237
<p dir="auto">It looks like this:
<p dir="auto"><center><span><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmXQ5YNKmGBc4Fp72n9YDuxi35gZgu8PthGrwPirLHaNui/pull.png" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmXQ5YNKmGBc4Fp72n9YDuxi35gZgu8PthGrwPirLHaNui/pull.png 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmXQ5YNKmGBc4Fp72n9YDuxi35gZgu8PthGrwPirLHaNui/pull.png 2x" />
<p dir="auto">No description was added. But what was changed?...
<p dir="auto"><center><span><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmcrYqPL5G1otHuqZH14heaGDAR9sacMA4c3XGmBAYzeNq/beta.png" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmcrYqPL5G1otHuqZH14heaGDAR9sacMA4c3XGmBAYzeNq/beta.png 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmcrYqPL5G1otHuqZH14heaGDAR9sacMA4c3XGmBAYzeNq/beta.png 2x" />
<p dir="auto">He had removed the <em>(beta)<span> from the readme file. This is what visitors to the GitHub see as the first header going to <a href="https://github.com/steemit/steem" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">https://github.com/steemit/steem.
<p dir="auto">How exciting! This reminds me of when Gmail finally, finally left beta a long time after I joined forever ago. Google trusted that it was polished enough to be ready for mass adoption.
<p dir="auto">After so many hardforks and 13.37 million blocks, the steem blockchain and code is now ready to take on anything.
<p dir="auto"><strong>NOTE: This is a pull request, meaning it's not part of the main code yet, but could be close. It will need other developers to review and approve it and a codebase maintainer to merge it in.

That Steem client may always be in open beta...... Bitcoin is arguably in beta too :-) Maybe all blockchains are for that matter.
Yeah, you're right... There's always room and opportunity for improvement ☺
Are we finally removing beta from the site?
Wow! First time I spotted a Ned on here.....too bad I'm all out of pokeballs.
a Boss move, lets go full velocity!
@ned - Neddie, finally found your active comment where I want it exactly. Doesn't beta means it's unstable release with no warranty on it ? Beta in Tech world for decades stands for - USE IT AT YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY. Are we safe ? :)
Btw, BitCoin is live in Japan already for massive use. Even Tax Law has been added, that all BitCoin payments and transactions will be taxable at 1.8% instead of regular 8%. So, Bitcoin is not arguably in beta too, but nice try :)
Maybe you have some comment on this ?
https://steemit.com/steem/@murda-ra/steem-inc-future-total-transparency-platform
I would love to clear with you and myself finally are you a Hoax that represents Steem or you are really someone with so great knowledge as community upvoting you ?
Many thanks,
Digital Lucifer
P.S. I know you are too busy to answer all my concerns, but try from time to time to answer to a reasonable technical, economical, political concerns of your community... would be awesome, instead of complete ignorance except where you want to promote yourself. It would be great if I could ever interview you (even in far future) without previous setup or montage, to pull out and clear out some questions/facts missing (being cut off) from all your interviews until now :)
Thank you greatly for all you've done for all of us! We are forever appreciative. =D
Not everyone :)
I still see complaints every day. There are still some flaws that need to be fixed.
exciting news
oh wow, I was truly hoping for a bit more time so I have a fair chance to build up my steem too. :-(
FYI: My critical blockchain intel analysis and report on EOS's possible disruption of Steem and Bitcoin. The Steemit Inc 2017 Roadmap and Steem-Dev priorities may need to be rethought and reset to address what appears to be a real threat - unless you worked out something with Dan that is going to keep Steem's head above water?
@ned https://steemit.com/steemit/@cyberspace/the-new-eos-platform-will-disrupt-steem-bitcoin-ethereum-and-all-1st-generation-blockchains-and-cryptocoins-guaranteed
Thank you!
So it's going to stay?
Ned did a great commit today!
Ooh! Exciting times!
If this is the case then expect Steem to appreciate in value gradually from now on... There's just something about getting out of beta that screams VALUABLE!
That's so leet.
Good eye! The STEEM blockchain has held up to all the transactions!
Here is the live feed of all the people trying to get an account!
Haha! Very true.. the signup process is very much like that, as I recently hear from folks I've urged to join!
I have my mom and girlfriend trying to get on steemit and they haven't been able to set up an account and get in because they didn't understand the password generation part and it locked them out entirely now. Any idea on when that will be fixed?
Unfortunately, if they didn't save their generated key, then no one can help them. Ownership of keys means ownership of accounts/balances in the blockchain world. They will have to sign up for new accounts, this time remembering to save all keys.
That's what I thought and when they try to sign up for a new account it says email/phone number is already registered to an account
They will have to use other emails and phone numbers because account signup abuse has been happening for a long time.
You can help with this service build by a community member: to open an accnt for them. I've triedit and it works. https://account.steem.vc/
Wow... that's very cool news! Even if it does take a little while before it's implemented, it seems like really perfect timing, considering the much greater inflow of new accounts we're seeing these days. I'm guessing it also means the consensus is that the platform is "stable enough" to head in towards mainstream adoption.
Mass adoption is close. Hold on tight guys. Continue to build up Steem Power. Accumulate, accumulate, accumulate. Key to success.
Steem on!
Sweet, thanks for the heads up! We could still use some polishing, but in the end the product is good enough to go to market....tweaks can be made after. :-)
Absolutely! It's been an action-packed year, or more than a year, and we were all part of it!
For real man! Can't believe I'm coming up on 1 year on steemit!
Same! Haha =D
Wow, big step! I did not expect this till after hardfork 20 at least. It would be good to no longer be in beta buy a part of me wonders if it is too early still.
I think it'll be official upon the next hardfork. This was just a submission to change the code, and still needs review and approval by other devs.
Ah, I gets ya! That would work out about right then.
Awesome...Really hope that's the case and its adopted widely...The world will take Steemit with a bang!
Looking at the growth and analytics, Steemit and Steem and everything else in the ecosystem is already changing the world.
Steemit is nothing short of exciting...cant wait to share this experience with the whole world
Cool we finally go to a normal version :) The community getting bigger and bigger haha.
Huge!
Well then, Congrat's to Steem for graduating to the next level :)
Our little, newborn baby is going out to the real world! haha =)
Thanks for the heads up - I'm ready to update my Steemit CSS themes to reflect the change. lol :)
No problem! Almost though, still needs other Steemit, Inc. devs to review and approve it.
ok, sure, yeah
That's a very important and exciting milestone for sure! I'm looking forward to when I see the little 'beta' taken off from underneath the logo when I visit the site which I guess will happen at some point in the near future.
I'm proud to say that I joined steemit while it was in beta....but even more excited for what is to come for steemit and our whole community!
I'm sure it'll happen soon! It's great that we're all beta testers thus far! Something to be proud of for years to come.
When you go to the search screen it does still say steemit beta though, maybe he should change that 😀
It's a pull request. Doesn't take effect till other devs have checked through and accepted it. Then it'll be merged with the main code base.
Ah right haha I'm not very tech savvy when it come to this stuff I thought it was all the one!
This change was only to the Steem software, not Steemit.com. But I suspect it will be soon too! =)
Pretty cool times, got in while on the Beta and now we are in the normal version!
It's very exciting indeed!
Hey @bitcoiner - Thank you so much for sharing! I am VERY curious how you were able to discover that SO quickly, I'm jealous.
Do you think that there will be a bigger announcement around it if it's true?
-JackThaR1ppir
Hi @jackthar1ppir, on GitHub, you can "watch" a code repo, and you'll be notified of all issue submissions, pull requests, comments, etc. If you know C++/Boost, you can contribute to the Steem blockchain code as it's all open source!
I think if this gets approved and pushed by other Steemit Inc. devs, it'll probably be on the next hardfork release when they'll announce it, my guess.
Hey ,amazing news. 🙂
It really is!
Thanks ,I will return to check your stuff again?
this post?Hey @bitcoiner (and anyone who interested) can you please help me to promote steemit in Russia by upvoting
Thanks!
have they fixed all the bugs / problems? LOL!
well.. there will always be bugs and problems in any software =D
Finally, this is great news.
It is the reason why steem rising and pump up in these serval weeks? As steemit is not beta any more, which can make the price of steem rising! So it is a good them to buy some steem for our furture as waiting for steem's price to rise!
This is big news!
I got my Steemit account less then 1 month ago, but hey at least i still get to say i got in while it was in beta!
Haha yup! Facebook and their crazy VR stuff hehee
mainsteem ... pun intended
oooo hahaa this is great! =D
Maybe we already do grew out of our children's pants...
Great news! Just realized i might be one of the last people that joined while steem was still in the bet. Hence I can brag about
being on Stewmit since beta in 5-10 years time when it is the most viral social media 😄
I think the same way.. all of us being beta testers back in the day haha!
great news..we are about to go mainstream
Very exciting! Thanks
Great news! Steemit is all grown up
Good news! I am feeling like a noob right about now, but to read this it sounds like I got in before the wave! I will stay tuned - cheers!
It's up to interpretation. But essentially, our CEO thinks his software is ready and his team is solid. I think that's way fantastic! =D
Me too!
Wow, am I glad I joined. Was slow going in the beginning for me. There were so many things going on that I kept hesitating. Thankfully I listened to fellow steemers to not give up. I'm glad to be part of this great community. Now we will really be running full Steem ahead -)
Steem on! =D
That's right. Sounds like we are well on our way on our Steemboat Willy! Going legit. Officially.
Yup! All aboardddd!
Hurray hurray yo
=D
Interesting.
Great news, thanks for the info and your contributionism! Cheers, Damir
Thank you! =D
Well thanks for keeping us updated on this ! Let's enter the next level :P
One up!
On the top left corner i still see the beta sign, i hope that will vanish soon :)
In time!
a small step for the man a huge step for the steem community, this is great news!
To the moon!
there we go!
I am excited, time to open the flood gates :)
yup, open them wide! =D
Can't wait to see what the future holds!
It's a super exciting time!
Hi, bitcoiner you sent me some steem power, I guess because I voted you as a witness, My question is can anybody sent steem power and how do I do it?
Long journey to this point..been a year now for me it's great to see this much progress so fast, great share!
It's also been about a year for me now! What a journey! =D
awesome !!!
This is exciting news! Thank you for sharing with us!
i was going to share this with you!!!!!!
Lol it was shared onto my feed by two folks I follow, and now I'm following @bitcoiner. Good stuff to come.
Even being a rookie on steemit I know coming out of beta is a great thing. You think the price of steem may rise due to this? Thanks for the update!
Being a trader for a while, it seems that news of any nature does cause pumps, even if it's just hype.
It sounds pretty interesting and for me it's even better because I decided to start a kind of daily blog or steem vlog and that's because I see a lot of potential on Steemit!
thanks for letting us know, pretty darn exciting!
To the moon!
Wonderful development. 👍
Yessssssss!!!... It's on now. Steem on my friends!... Thanks for sharing.
