I'm not the best with names or faces, but if you remind me where and when we met and what we discussed I might remember.
That said, it deeply saddens me to think people here are more concerned about some witnesses who downvoted them or were rude to them (maybe, 4 or 5 total, right? Some loud, annoying ones, but just a handful, yeah?) and less concerned that the entire blockchain was most likely running on a single set of servers using all the same outdated price feed controlled by one single individual.
If people don't understand or care about blockchains or what secures them, then maybe they aren't ready for what Steem is trying to be. 20 witnesses controlled by one person who then can completely do anything they want such as nulling your account balance or forking away all your content, etc. This is a really, really big deal. The security of the chain was completely compromised with the help of centralized exchanges but you're saying you're happy about that because the sock puppet witnesses (all controlled by the same person) haven't flagged you or been rude to you.
I'm not trying to be mean, but as someone who has worked hard for years to secure this chain, it's quite disappointing to hear how little people seem to care about decentralization or the work witnesses do to secure their property here.
