Hi, this will be a rather short post. I just want to get the word out to the Project HOPE community on a rumored secret Steem hardfork scheduled for tomorrow. The original source is from here (https://joind.io/market/id/2098). It is in Korean but you can do a Google translate and it should be enough for you to understand the context.

A few big Steem/Hive stakeholders have already been Tweeting and posting about it.

At this point, no one has a concrete list of who might be targeted/affected, netuoso@netuoso posted screenshots of a potential list on Twitter. However, it may not be the complete list, hence it is always good to take some precautions.

someguy123@someguy123 suggested in Discord to archive your wallet page and Steemd.com page on WayBackMachine and I think that is a reasonable precaution. This will help serve as proof of your STEEM balance prior to this potential hardfork.

In addition to that, I am also taking a screenshot of my Steem account balance and putting it in this post as an added precaution.

Not trying to spread FUD here just wanted to make sure my fellow Project HOPE community members take the necessary precautions. Though I think most, if not all, of us have not gone against Justin Sun openly nor are we big enough stakeholders to pose a threat, You never know if you will be wrongfully targeted.

It is rather sad that such "precautions" have to be taken in order to show proof of a stake in a supposedly decentralized blockchain, but it is what it is now.


DeFi Campus

On a side note, I actually wanted to officially announce my new "DeFi Campus" community today, but I think if the hardfork is true, it might steal all the attention away at least for the next few days. Hence, I will leave the official announcement for later. If you are keen, do subscribe to the community and stay tuned for the announcement.

For now, I have created the defi.campus@defi.campus account which is a manual curation account for #defi related articles. Give it a follow if you are keen. 😃
