At the end of the day if they don’t support the 4 week powerdown people can still vote for me because they like sbdpotato or the debit card or any of the BuildTeam services such as dlease, tokenbb, ginabot

My three biggest initiatives these last few months have been the power down proposal, fixing the SBD peg and the paycent Steem debit card. The power down initiative still needs a bit more of a push hence

Thanks dear friend!

Yip 4 weeks is the perfect balance that takes security into consideration.

Pleasure, 4 weeks is the best compromise I could get that pleases everyone. Thanks for your support and encouragement!

Lool two years is crazy!! Thanks for your support my man!

Hi, thanks so much for supporting the Venezuelan community, I wish your project much success. It would be nice if you could maybe show some examples of earnings, say if you delegate 1000 SP to project.hope,

The DAO funds are largely unused at the moment so I don’t think it is a bad use case for them especially since they will be sent back after. At anytime should the DAO start to look short on funds I would

Fully agree that reducing debt is a financially healthy concept. We are on the same page.

I think Matt may have mean’t increasing the supply of Steem on the market and placing selling pressure on the STEEM price as a result. I fully agree with you that the STEEM inflation was already there,

Burning SBD is too slow at the available funding rates, even if this proposal was fully funded, only 25K SBD would be burned which won’t make a dent. By cycling the funds through conversion and market

It’s too risky to make a big code change to remove SBD in the next SMT HF, so we are at least a year away from being able to shed SBD if we wanted to so we may as well try fix it in the meantime. Also

Hi @proxy.token I saw you voted some new witnesses which moved my rank out of the top20. I was surprised I didn’t get your vote since we are aligned in improving Steem with the shorter powerdown period

Thanks so much, some stakeholders would like some certainty as to what happens to the funds when they are no longer needed which is why I clarified that point. It would also be better if it was handled

The names Google and Yahoo are a joke as well, that’s the point it is supposed to be memorable.

Because of the haircut rule, the conversion will likely make you a loss, also there is loss potential on the market due to slippage, so for now if you did it with your own funds while the debt ration is

As I said the current hard fork is for addition of SMT code, neither Steemit Inc nor witnesses are comfortable adding any more complex code to it, so there is no more room to "fix things" at

The next HF won't have any major changes so as not to add additional risk to an already complex HF due to SMT's being introduced. Maybe the one after that, personally I would like to see SBD evolve into

Thanks for your support!

With the amount of stake they hold, they could get the peg back to $1 very fast, but you have given me a great idea. In the new year I will apply for delegation from Steemit for @sbdpotato to speed this
