Yeah, abit came through when a certain unnamed somebody tried to powerdown a negative amount of vests.
This little trick shut the chain down for hours.
Abit found and proposed the fix.
So, he would not be high on the list for being stincy.
I had known about the liquidity rewards, but not the adm part.
Kudos to him for that.
And yes, we have some effort at building a consensus for abuse fighting, and adm does contribute to that.
Abit also, along with smooth, forced the whale experiment onto the chain proving that the n2 reward curve was not the problem, but that the whales were sucking too much out.
Instead of the stincy folks controlling themselves, they forced through linear rewards and went on a two year walkabout without any development of the chain to speak of, just a bunch of bs about 'smtees!™' and 'coming soon™'.

So, no, I don't think abit is trying to sink the chain.

Keep going, there has to be something there, or folks wouldn't be so afraid of what you have to say.
