They can. But they plan seems to be to destroy the STEEM and VEST of the Steem account. I think that would be a mistake. That VEST should be used to power up new accounts and nothing else.

You wouldn't post on Quora AND on Medium Of course I would. I cross post almost everything I write.

However, Hive intends to exclude the Ninja-mined stake (over 74m) of Steemit Inc out of the equation. But who is then delegating VEST to the new accounts? You need VEST worth 15 STEEM to function.

You guys have to do a HiveBoard. With a badge for everybody who survived the hard fork.

I have just looked at a friends account (@swashdev). A new account account with only 2 postings and 0.002 STEEM. And the delegation on that account is gone as well. Did Justin Sun cancel all delegations?

I just looked at a friends account and he had 0 Steem Power. The delegation from Steem was gone. I'm shocked. The way it is users might not have a choice but the change to Hive. Thinking of it: Sending

There's the rub. It's difficult to imagine a reputation system that actually works. StackOverflow

Voting Power * Reputation --> witness rank I have been considering something like this even before @justinsunsteemit took over. But not just for the witnesses but for everything in involving steem power.

Who is David? What did he do? More information needed.

@justinsunsteemit still powering up reducing STEEM. Which keeps Steep price stable: Despite Bitcoin falling: But I'm worried what will happen once Justin got the super majority. If he changes the power

As i said: I go for maximum flexibility but if things don't go down then I return everything to normal.

But they might not be the only one to power down. I just cancelled my delegations to gain flexibility in case things go south.

The sock puppet witnesses are catching up. In the last 8 hours since you posted we lost a top 20 witness spot again.

Prices are going up because we lost a lot of liquid steem: But @justinsunsteemit wins the witness war and reduces the power down to 3 days then the steem price will fall like a stone.

I'm planning to retract all my delegations to be more flexible and if @justinsunsteemit wins the witness war. If he does reduce the power down time to 3 days as he has announced I'm pretty sure the big

Thanks for the explanations. That was quite enlightening and I learned something new. 👍 However, I'm more worried about the ability to make hard and soft forks and therefore change the rules. Including

indem Steem an mehrere Sockpuppet Accounts geschickt Das Argument wird immer wieder gemacht. Aber das währe aber nur bedingt der Fall da die Menge VEST (aka Steem Power) ja gleich bleibt.

Punkt 5 Verzinsung geht leider nicht da Steem Power nicht verzinst wird. Es gibt gar kein Steem Power. Es gibt nur VEST. Steem Power ist die Menge Steem die du bekommst wenn dein VEST in Steem umwandelst.

Steemits 51%-attack is having 51% of the top 20 witnesses. That is 11 witnesses with combining 51% of the voted steem power.

The exchanges powering up for Justin Sun put quite a dent into liquid steem.
