I guess the hive5 will become a thing :D

Holy shit, YES! Great job to all the guys working behind the scenes to make this possible. It must have been very hard to keep your mouths shut. Great launching post!

Typo in the conclusion "18 votes" "181 votes"

Count me in. I will support the new chain. Please explain more about the airdrop in the amount of current steem holdings.

If STEEM drops below 1 cent, it will be unprofitable to maintain a witness node even for justin. That's -50$*20 per month unpaid costs for witness servers . Of course he can easily run those for 50 years,

I see Steem a 3 cents and possibly below that. We will then see a big bounce, or if not, Steem will be dead. If the community moves to a new chain, it's a dead coin anyway.

Smart move. Looks like he is buying older accounts now to make it seem that his witnesses are not sock puppets. You are not fooling anyone here... I bet my ass that we will see 10 more random older accounts

Get soap, tissues and thick cleaning gloves ASAP, they will be the next things that will sell out soon. Every week hoarders will decide on different items they will need to survive the apocalypse.

Good points. I also find it fascinating that everything seems to slow down when uncertainty is at the highest level since world war 2. Doing stuff more consciously, avoiding stuff more consciously. Our

Let's not rush things. Things like this need preparation time. The witnesses should communicate a timeframe. Let's say in two weeks we split. Before we announce this though, we need to see hundreds of

No, from an EW standpoint that is not game over, but it possibly means again years will go by before we recover. I hope that we stabilize at 4500 but the odds are bad.

OMFG. We past the 88% retracement. This means the chances of this going up without a low below 3000 is 6%. Hate to say it but this looks very bad.

In china, some people are being treated with cancer medication when they have corona. I don't think that's very effective as it shuts down the immune system (at least partially).

Good point, but without being forced to vote, how can you guarantee the overlap even with infinite witness votes. The second biggest problem besides "not enough overlap" was that most people

Can you explain this? How is this different from just upvoting the top 100 witnesses? What is the benefit of infinite witness votes? Every witness vote has the same strength (your MVESTs) It is not like

Noted, it is an entry barrier. But if you accumulated or bought 1000 Steem and powered that up, I think those accounts should be able to form an opinion to set a voting proxy for 1 witness they like. Not

I would agree with this idea as well. But I don't see why you should not force people to take part in the stability of the network. It benefits everyone and there is no downside.

Make it so that you cannot post or comment until you voted all 30 witnesses (or whatever the number might be in the future) Should be quite easy to code.

So you are a co-creator of DPOS and you have seen the shitshow that is steem and how it morphed into what it is now. You know the technicals and you understand what's been proven to be good and bad about
