Hi guys!

As you should already know a new Blockchain has born.

Hive Blockchain

Here is some info simplified that can be useful for those who have been out or have doubts.

Hive Blockchain born from a fork of Steem Blockchain and is working with the computers of those Witnesses that choose to run hardfork .23 code from original Steem code.

You can view the Witnesses running Hive Blockchain here 👉https://hiveblocks.com/witnesses

Hive is a new and different Blockchain because when a hardfork is implemented if some Witnesses don't implemented the hardfork in their computers and maintain previous hardfork, one Blockchain (in this case Steem) is splited in two Blockchains.
And this has happened, the top and well known from us, Steem Witnesses have implemented hf .23 and Hive Blockchain has born, and Justin Sun Witnesses still running hf .22.5 and they are now the top witnesses of Steem Blockchain.

Hive hf .23 means that all Steem accounts has migrated from Steem Blockchain with the funds of each account converted to Hive funds in the same equivalency, 1 Steem = 1, 1 SBD = 1 HBD, 1 SP = 1 HP.
This is not true to Steemit accounts and some few others that have been reset to zero funds. (This is the main change of hf .23)

Private Keys has also migrated from Steem Blockchain to Hive Blockchain.
