If you use a SQL database like Twitter/Medium/Reddit etc. there is no need for a blockchain or token or interaction fees. Having a blockchain is not a value add - to the contrary - its an expense, and

Its not needed in current model either - hence the token value is going slowly towards 0. Perhaps Google ads could be replaced by Steemit ads where ad campaigns are paid in STEEM.

Steemit is a platform that pays people to spam. This economic model is not sustainable in the long term. Perhaps the creator reward inflation should be reduced towards 0, and the rewards themselves be

Nice work Ricardo. I have underestimated your ability to persist and come up with creative models.

Have you considered running hivemind as a service, similar to SteemSQL?

Given that SP delegations are a core feature of the STEEM platform, the official wallet should support it.

It is possible for Dream to outcompete Steem, but it will take much more than forking out some founder coins to do that. It would require better game theory, better product, marketing, exchanges, etc etc.

In Steem people don't really have a choice - rather, the decision is made by the witnesses. An existing unforked chain would continue with the existing consensus rules. Theoretically perhaps, but unlikely

Eventually, nearly all of Steem's users were connected to each other using Alice's modifications, all were happy and and all sorts of varied amusement took place. So much so, in fact, that the old blockchain

I happen to be unable to digest 95% of fruits :(

I've compiled a playlist of videos on various topics, including the carnivore vs omnivore dillema. My understanding is as follows: The main problems with industrial farming are a.) our needs are satisfied

Thanks for clarifying. My points do not apply to new chains.

My understanding is predicated on the assumption that the fork being discussed here is applied to Steem chain itself. This is a contentious modification as it violates the core promise of blockchain systems.

And yes, I don't have the full context. I've been removed from "secret slack" a while ago...most likely due to inactivity.

Yes, its theft, because it removes stake from 1 party, and the reduction of supply increases the value of remaining stake for everyone else. Practically this means that someone benefits from other persons

First of all, this is theft. All the ad-hominem/political attacks on @ned and STINC do not make theft justifiable. Secondly, this goes against one of the core principles of the blockchain - its most appealing

Perhaps the markets are optimistic about the fork possibility?

It seems to me that STINC should be buying Steem rather than selling, given that the prices are near all-time lows vs. BTC. Buy low and sell high, anyone?

You can wrap your code in "```" for readability: import numpy as np a = np.array([1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]) print( ' '.join("%5.3f" % abs(f) for f in np.fft.fft(a)) )

Mostly technical. Current issues: need to implement support for AppBase database servers are out of disk space (using highest available NVMe capacity from the hosting provider already). deployment management
