RE: My thoughts on Soft Fork v0.22.2

By all public accounts (and I know of no contradictory non-public information), what he bought was a company, and if that company owns development non-voting stake, then it is still development non-voting

RE: Steem: Softforking, exchanges, security and mining ninjas

I was one of the early miners and I have a pretty good idea who the others are. I believe about 5 of the current top 20 witnesses were early miners. The rest were not. Some don't even have all that much

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. FWIW, I read every single one of those linked comments.

Not necessary. The discussion about the voting system is perfectly fine and appropriate. It is an exercise in tradeoffs and people see the advantages and disadvantages differently.

Did he not pay for the Steem Power that he purchased? I have no idea the terms of any deal which may have happened between Justin, Ned, and Steemit. The rumor is that Justin bought Steemit, the company,

I'm not a witness but as a stakeholder I would not vote for witnesses doing that.

You are full of it. I never ninja-mined anything. All I did is mine, like I did on dozens of other coins. I wasn't sneaky. I didn't hide anything. I didn't withhold material information (I didn't have

RE: Steem Consensus Witness Statement: Code Updated

If you look at literally what is happening, it is witnesses declining to process certain transactions. That's a little different from 'freezing', even if the practical effect is similar. I'm not sure how

If you have evidence of freedom being a Steemit insider or otherwise making statements about how that account was going to be used, please bring it forward because I haven't seen it. I have my suspicions

It is the only stake that was mined with privileged information about the situation, and the only stake mined by people in a position to guarantee the outcome by, for example, doing restart when things

RE: Steem Consensus Witness Statement: Code Updated

Without debating the merits of that 'solution' (I don't believe it would work, nor that it is necessarily good for Steem overall), as a practical matter, that could only be done with a hard fork (which

He is well aware of it and even referenced it in his own post (but perhaps you have seen that since you asked this question).

Even 50% slower, after a few weeks, you have a big unaccounted for block of ninja-mined stake potentially with no transparency or accountability at all. The already happened in the past when Ned was concerned

RE: Steem Consensus Witness Statement: Code Updated

One practical issue with power down is that it can be hidden and powered up into other accounts to vote for witnesses, proposals (SPS) or payouts. Even at a slow rate, a small to moderate portion of 73

He bought his SP just like everyone else did Really? Who else bought a massive, consensus-breaking block of ninja-mined stake from Steemit Inc? No one.

RE: Steem Consensus Witness Statement: Code Updated

You spread your 7 votes from the 73 million SP across an overlapping mix of 17 witnesses, which is 30 million each. That's probably more than enough. Currently top witnesses get around 45 million but that
