No, I did not read any of the other replies. I just saw you pinged me and asked me a question, so I provided my reply :)

What are your views on downvotes. More specifically, do you think casting a down vote as a witness on large quality content creators content that cross promotes to hive discourages growth by giving said

Some are more active than others. If you can talk to 1-2 they may be able to help you get in contact with others if they support the idea.

There are some interesting ideas. One thing to keep in mind is that coding is just part of the process. If you are developing code that requires a hardfork then there needs to be consensus among the top

I'm mostly lurking :) I keep up on the latest developments and have upgraded my node for hardfork 25. I have also been helping to support the @hbdstabilizer effort run by @smooth.

Ah, cool. Thanks for clearing that up!

Yeah, that makes sense. I would prefer 2 as well. Someone would need to setup a proposal to fund it though, as well as do the work to handle the conversions. IMO, it is outside the scope of the current

I am not trying to be flippant. I just don't 100% agree with your viewpoint. Yes, if the price of HBD stays above $1.00 USD forever there will never be any (smart) HBD->HIVE conversions. But that is

We are being transparent in terms of the goals of our efforts and the way we are doing things. We cannot make predictions on the future price of either coin though.

The point you make about the tradeoff between high HIVE prices benefiting existing stakeholders vs. high HBD prices benefiting smaller users who want to use their HBD rewards to buy more HIVE is a good

I realize this is a controversial effort, and there are a large number of users who are against it. Everyone has the right to use their stake however they want though, and there are several large stakeholders

Hi @phusionphil. I suppose this could be viewed as comment farming, although we are doing this as a transparent process with a lot of discussion around it. We do a #1 trending post every 2-3 days and clearly
