I did it. I have forked Steem. You all kept provoking me to do it, well, before, it was just the sticks of the preminers trolling me. There was no carrot side to the motivation equation.

But then @benjojo finally got the issue in the faces of the pigs, and now I feel like I have to take the steps that I said were necessary, since, it was my idea, and nothing is worth anything if it doesn't involve a sacrifice. So, for your amusement, here it is:

Note, that apparently my account was blocked from doing this fork automatically via the github. I suppose they can probably try and complain to github that I am a bad person, well, it doesn't matter, because I have the new forked version, I can just move it to gitlab, or even, run gitlab on my own server. Which I was about to do for my own project anyway, so I got a lot of the homework already done.

OOOOOHHH!

Now I can make all the bugfixes I want! woo!

if I want

I have also forked, against their wishes, condenser.
