Thank you both for the answers, that's what I wanted to hear. I guess this year we'll see Hivefest 1 huh? :P

You need to have a Steem account which will be carried over - same passwords, wallet address, posts, balance. You don't have to do anything, just log in.

I saw an article leak like 30 minutes ago that mentioned some of them, it's been deleted now. I remember Splinterlands going exclusive and some key infrastructure services as well. Basically if you're

What about free sign ups? Will there be something similar to what Steemit Inc. used to do, or fingers crossed, something better?

All I care about is a censorship resistant platform and with Justin trying to take full control it's not going to happen here. So I'm all on board for the new chain, let's do it right this time.

Because Justin has disabled that feature via Steemit Inc. for now.

Just mute them, problem solved.

This is a nice strong and clear statement I was hoping to see. Not some of the roundabout ones I was seeing that basically said "Justin bad" and not offering clear ways of moving forward. Funds

Yeah, I like his response as well.

From his perspective his funds will be frozen again the moment he lets go of his sock puppets. So the only thing he can do is to keep voting, otherwise he's going to be locked up and unable to make any

Then make public statements to that fact. In his latest blog he asked if you supported freezing his stake again or not. If witnesses came together and made simple public statements that no we're not going

Not yet, but governance needs to change. I've heard some talk about 10 votes or something to that degree. I'm sure this can be worked out over extensive talks, like everything here. :P

Let him do what he wants with his stake, evidently we can fight off his voting. At least to a degree where he doesn't have full control. And while he's powering down we need to change governance so it's

But can exchanges have a short power down window? No matter what the witnesses said, it always came back to this.

That's food for thought, let him bail out the exchanges not us. Personally I wouldn't give in to the exchanges' demands to shorten the power down window for their sake. And that's what this whole meeting

That's the whole thing pretty much. Witnesses offer to make public statements stating not to re-do the softfork, assuring Justin's and anyone else's funds are safe and then it comes back to "But can

Agreed, plus they could cancel the power down at any time as well. There's literally no reason not to do it.

Absolutely. Plus, as far as I've listened witnesses made it pretty clear they aren't interested in reinstating the freeze and are also willing to make public statements on the blockchain to that fact.
