I might have to check out Ionomy if Blocktrades is going to be up and down during all of this.

This could go in quite a few different ways, the least of which being the way we would actually want it to, at least for the interim. The thing is, though, even if Sun decides to loot what he can from STEEM and casts it aside or destroys the current version, that wouldn't stop anyone else from picking up the STEEM code, running servers and essentially giving STEEM a rebirth.

Regardless, though, there are things that need to change on HIVE, too, or we're back in it again. As someone else commented, we go from one overlord on STEEM to probably less than 30 on STEEM, depending on who wants to act at any given time, so it's not like decentralization as far as influence and distribution goes (if not governance) exists yet. And I don't know how we get there, truthfully, because once one has power, one doesn't want to give it up.

re: seeds

I bought some heirloom seeds a while back that we've never used. I think they're supposed to be good if kept in a dry and cool place for several years. If nothing else, we can try those out. We do have quite a few nurseries around we can try. Probably should do that sooner than later though.
