Last two days steemit.com almost consistently served me "503 Service Temporarily Unavailable".
well if i was to quantify ....
75% of the time it was consistent (503 no matter how many page reloads i tried),
10% of the time it managed to show page after couple reloads
15% of the time it worked well
... you can imagine how frustrating it can be for steemdict in training :P
I connect from Poland, steemd.com works flawlessly for me, and I did hear from friends in other parts of Europe they they didn't have as much problems as i did.
Situation got better just now, so using it to make my first post :)
If any of you had similar problems, add a comment, preferably with your country and their severity.
