Dear Kopasi and all @proxy.token voters. You have a compelling point, yet "Ethnic Cleansing" is a very loaded, insinuating reasoning, which is obviously not the reason for this ruleset about the airdrop: Consensus in the Hive group decided the specific rulesets for this INITIAL airdrop. You can find the rules for the ruleset in the code of 23.0 which you are already stating in this article.
Please notice the words: INITIAL.
I want to emphasize that the Hive chain is a new beginning, with 50+ developers working on the chain and its direct projects. So, exciting times ahead!
While I understand it is painful to see @proxy.token proxy voters with more than 1K SP being excluded from the INITIAL airdrop, I want to let you know that the case for "forgiveness" is very much alive. We all make mistakes.
HOWEVER, the funds for those not included on the Hive Airdrop have simple been moved to the DAO HIVE FUND and will NOT be burned or in any other way used for the foreseeable future.
The Airdrop Funds for the Hive Chain are waiting for you:
You are very welcome to start a Proposal on behalf of the Proxy.Token voters to unlock those funds.
Please understand that consensus was reached on the specific rules for the "exclusion of initial airdrop"-list. Anyone can run any software.
I very much encourage you once the fork is complete and stable, to look into a Voting Proposal and depending on how it looks I might very much be for a "forgiveness" vote, but it will depend on your proposal.
If you don't like that, obviously everyone is very welcome to stay with the Steem chain or run their own software.
Looking forward to your proposal on behalf of proxy.token voters on the Hive chain!
