RE: Steem Consensus Witness Statement: Code Updated

Once acquisition happened those stakes were no longer ninja-minded Sorry I can't agree on this point, particularly in so far as the transaction was described as acquisition of the company. I fail to see

You will have to take that up with steemit.com support. If your account works on other platforms then it isn't a blockchain issue.

"As far as we know". If anyone can prove that freedom is in fact Steemit or Ned or Dan or such, then please bring it forward.

Don't forget, witnesses can change their mind or get voted out. If the community doesn't want this protection in place, it won't have it.

RE: Steem Consensus Witness Statement: Code Updated

Even ONE week would have a massive effect. Not necessarily unilateral control but still enormous influence, by itself probably in the top 5 stakeholders on the entire platform. It isn't practical or meaningful

RE: Tron and Steemit Join Forces

I don't know if golos trades, but I'd guess maybe some small (likely shady) exchange. There are so many of them I would find it hard to believe that literally none of them trades it, but then again the

RE: Steem Protection Soft Fork 0.22.2

You seem to be something of a volunteerist (quick impression; sorry if off base). Explain to me how witnesses are supposed to be compelled to process transactions they consider to be harmful. The blockchain

RE: Resigning as a witness

I don't think that really works for a top 20, and I have voted against top 20 witnesses who I saw trying to treat it as such. Given that, I wouldn't feel right doing so myself. You need to engage on the

RE: Resigning as a witness

I'm still here. I will say that recent events (prior to the soft fork) have not made me terribly optimistic, but I'm still hopeful that things work out for the best. I expect to continue to engage on the

It's not 1/3, it is about 150% of the currently active voting stake, meaning 71% of all actively voting stake, were it to vote. Perhaps some more stake might vote but there will always be some held by

RE: The Fundamental Underpinning of Blockchain Consensus

Sure there is a moral argument, but where does that ultimately end up? One group claims it is moral and the other group is not, and the other group claims the exact same thing. Live and let live works

RE: Tron and Steemit Join Forces

I don't think it is anywhere near as bad as stealing coins, but still not a good way to deal with the issue.

I guess. But in the end, both communities picked the code and law they want.

RE: Steem Consensus Witness Statement: Code Updated

These analogies are highly flawed, and different types of property are, frankly, different. Land just sits there and doesn't require anyone else to take action in order for you to use it. Putting up a

RE: Steem Consensus Witness Statement: Code Updated

If you could prove that freedom was/is part of Steemit then I would argue for it to be included. But as you say, you can't prove this, so I doubt many/any witnesses are going to take action on the basis

It was never truly censorship resistant, without excluding the Steemit Inc stake. Which was only being done based on good faith and at this point, good faith is sadly not good enough anymore. QFT Now,

Proxy is never really needed, you can always look at his votes and make the same votes directly yourself.

RE: Steem Consensus Witness Statement: Code Updated

I stepped down as a witness due to concerns over the ongoing time commitment as well as anticipated increase in witness demands connected to this fork and the recent sale of Steemit more broadly. However,
