### DAO to burn STEEM Reminder: There was the [discussion](/steem/@jondoe/thoughts-on-a-proposal-to-buy-and-burn-steem-using-the-dao) about using the DAO to sell SBD and buy and burn STEEM. To fulfil the desire for transparency and security, I adapted the [multisig script](https://github.com/only-dev-time/multisig_transfer) from @future.witness. At the beginning of December I had finished the complete [DAO-Burn-Script](https://github.com/only-dev-time/burn-dao). This could have handled both the transfer and the sale/buy on the internal market as well as the burning for the multisig accounts. But as many know, the current situation around the SBD has worsened. Not only the [availability](https://coinmarketcap.com/de/currencies/steem-dollars/#Markets), but also the prices on the [internal market](https://steemitwallet.com/market) are currently so bad that it makes no sense to think about burning DAO funds at the moment. Instead of around 14 STEEM for 1 SBD before, today you only get 5 STEEM. In any case, the prerequisites for processing are in place. If the situation improves again, the idea can be taken up again immediately. ### steemd A small interim question for those of you who are interested: What does this screenshot show? [![82_steemd.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbEKvRNGU5XNcPKmkbpa12Eht6ZrACZirtsgR9btQd8G8/82_steemd.png)](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbEKvRNGU5XNcPKmkbpa12Eht6ZrACZirtsgR9btQd8G8/82_steemd.png) ... ... ... I'm still totally thrilled myself... My long-term goal is to find out more about the blockchain code. Beyond what we have already found out in numerous discussions, to know what works when and why. Analogue to Goethe's Faust: 'Dass ich erkenne, was die Welt im Innersten zusammenhält'. :-)) On the one hand, this is a prerequisite for being able to develop the code further at all. And also, as a witness, it is always good to know about the inner workings of the blockchain that the witnesses are watching over. It was a long road with a few hurdles before I got the blockchain code to the point where I could watch it being executed as shown in the screenshot. I don't want to go into too much detail. So here is the short version: No ready-to-use Docker image can be used for debugging. The executable files have to be built by yourself. I had decided to use a Proxmox server, which caused all kinds of problems in the meantime, as building the code required more resources. In dialogue with @Steemchiller, I then found the right build parameters. The build process felt like it took forever and took several attempts to get to the end, but then I had actually created `steemd` myself! Then I had to find the right environment for debugging. I found them, but unfortunately only for the time being. I use a [development container](https://github.com/only-dev-time/steem/blob/0.23.1/Builder.DockerFile) based on `phusion/baseimage:0.9.19`. But this is based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. In addition to the fact that it is hopelessly outdated, Microsoft has [announced](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/faq#_can-i-run-vs-code-server-on-older-linux-distributions) that from February 2025 remote development will only be permitted from Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. So it doesn't help to use the Ubuntu18.04 used in the [official repo](https://github.com/only-dev-time/steem/blob/0.23.1/Dockerfile.new). I need other base images from Ubuntu 20.04 LTS onwards, but unfortunately the build process then fails. Obviously a newer Ubuntu is associated with newer boost libraries that are not right detected by CMake... I still have no idea how to solve this... ### Miscellaneous At the moment I'm sorting out my servers a bit. It's getting a bit expensive and too confusing. I had already cancelled two Contabo servers. I cancelled a third one after the announcement of a huge price increase came through this week. I already spend almost 200 euros a month on servers, so now I have to reduce a little. Fortunately, I bought two cheap servers in a promotion at the end of last year, which I am now activating. The move is just a bit time-consuming... Oh yes, I think It's my turn with [Wordle](https://moecki.online/search?author=deutschunplugged&text=w%C3%B6rdel) ;-D **So: Stay tuned, Steem on... and don't forget to vote for me!** https://steemitimages.com/DQmZZhnSVXhDF9rKLqs5wa3wLavQVkEGrf8uNfFUVmTFStm/Trennlinie02.png
