Don't say that, give it a couple of hours and we'll have an "Empathy Coin" ICO.....

For a first post, WOW! Thanks for being an asset to the DO community! (and STEEM).

No one can make that prediction, that is correct, I stated as much saying that we would never know. I put quotation marks around fix, because of the points we disagree on that is is indeed a fix, nothing

Yes, we are aware Brod developed the V8 "fix". As for frequency of staking, I'm at day ten plus now, honestly should have probably staked around the millionth, didn't, oh well, bad luck, however

Umm, I laugh at subtitles on YouTube regularly, they are not 100%, by far. Please, lol, don't tell a deaf person to turn on subtitles, I think we figured that one out a long time ago. I really do believe

The price jump after a mandatory upgrade isn't a big mystery in my mind. The exchanges take their wallets offline, but because they are obviously not moving the actual crypto each time a transaction takes

Cryptocurrency is not trustless. Blockchain is trustless. Cryptocurrency working depends on lots of trust, from the dev(s) down.

If you wish me to go thru that again, you should know I'm not shy about it. An exploit was utilized by Tomas Brod to inject superblocks during the one millionth block celebration, turning it into "The

Somewhere in here, I did want to address listening to the hangouts. I've never bothered with them, because the deaf might listen very well, but they don't hear anything. Stated because you hoped we listened

Oh, and I would be remorseful if I did not say this, thank you for coming by and addressing the various comments! I, and I hope others do as well, sincerely appreciate it :)

So, not to belabor the point, but I want to be crystal clear, you did just say that this is indeed a debuff to researchers? If that is the case, I want those that keep "informing" me it's not,

I am sorry if this sounds....bad tempered, please don't take it that way. I stated in the forum that you should shut off crunching in the short term, mine something profitable, buy GRC to achieve a higher

Be prepared, I honestly believe that you are about to see the first "I ain't been paid in 6 months", complaint, and the time to address that, imo, is before the complaint has a chance. I have

Does that seem to be the consensus now? I'm having issues keeping up with disparate opinions in multiple places, so I am genuinely asking if that is being born out?

Very good point @bullshark, blast it. Look at what recently happened, ugh. Hmm, only way to correct for that then would be to have a rotating body of three, each one of the three can initiate a message,
