RE: Steemit will fail if whale-votes are not capped - draining the reward-pool is like watching politicians steal money from the people!

If you don't like the current witnesses, you can always vote for one of the other ones in the top 50 using the web interface. If you don't like those choices, you can learn to use the cli wallet and vote

RE: When People Tell Me We Need Government

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. I think we can even scale that down and say some power corrupts somewhat. There will always be crooked people that manage to find themselves in government.

And you assume everyone is moral? What society do you live in?

RE: What Will Happen to Steemit Once a Global Entity Controls ICANN?

The main assumption here is that the US government has the best interests of the whole world at heart. I would have preferred it if the US had spun this off as a non-profit private corporation rather than

RE: Exchange Transfer Report Summary: 06/01/2016 to 08/19/2016

$0.14/$0.86 equals a little over 16%. (You get a dollar worth of steem if you convert steem dollars to steem.)

If I were a speculator, I would prefer making 16% in one week rather than 10% in one year, if the market can hold up.

RE: Exchange Transfer Report Summary: 06/01/2016 to 08/19/2016

Thanks for the data. It appears some investors feel that they can buy steem dollars at a discount and convert to steem, and be better off. The risk is that one needs to wait a week and the steem market

RE: "Our Corrupt Sense of Fairness" or Steemit's Incessant Rule Changes?

Steemit is still in beta, so I would expect the rules to change frequently. Also, I don't mind the last hardfork at all. One particular person found an exploit with the mining algorithm, and dominated

RE: Black Holes.

I didn't realize quantum mechanics was actually just a fabrication. I guess the fundamentals that supposedly make my electronic devices work is totally bogus. Those darn engineers with all their high falutin

RE: Black Holes.

No, I am describing a "quasi-star." Science actually doesn't know for sure what the progenitors of supermassive black holes were. There are several hypotheses at this time.

RE: Black Holes.

Although the gas may eventually become compressed enough to start fusion, if there is enough gas falling in, the fusion will never produce sufficient energy to counter the crushing gravity. A relative

RE: Black Holes.

I'll have to disagree with your explanation of the genesis of supermassive black holes. these monsters probably formed by the direct collapse of the huge amounts of gas present in the centers of these

RE: Black Holes.

If we begin colonizing the Milky Way, the separation between populations will cause several species to emerge. Given 4 billion years of this process, the species we spawn may be as different from each

RE: Black Holes.

It would have to be a rotating black hole, and you would have to manage to travel through the center of the ring singularity. This journey would probably destroy everything but a fundamental particle.

RE: Black Holes.

Once the light crosses the event horizon, it only has one path, and that is toward the singularity at the center of the black hole. It could not escape the black hole, so we would never see it.

RE: A look at Steem blocksize evolution

A new block is produced about every 3 seconds. With that kind of speed, I'm not surprised there are still some empty blocks.
