( a screencap from the STEEMCHAT discord, showing everyone with TRON names )
Welp, seems like we're going to end up amalgamated into the TRON blackchain according to news that broke earlier today from Justin Sun saying that their considering (or already have) acquired Steemit inc. Word on the street is that we're going to have a token swap from the STEEM network into a TRON token, which will be facilitated by Poloniex.com by the sound of it. Within an hour of the potential network merger rumour being announced we had long term STEEM users changing their aliases on the discord server to various witty TRON names as seen above. There seems to be a divide on people accepting the TRON / STEEM merger and others who don't like the idea. Which seems about right considering people are often wary of change, and twith change on the horizon people are bracing for it in their own way.
We've already forked the current STEEM source code here: https://github.com/SteemClassic which has been backed up by @cadawg. I have a suspicion that we're going to have the current STEEM sourcecode continue on with an updated name, and also have a chain that goes on to be converted / amalgamated into TRON.
I'm going to support #STEEMCLASSIC or whatever we're calling it. While I will convert over my STEEM tokens to TRON tokens on one blockchain I will continue to be a witness for our original chain. You cannot take our blockchain away or buy it from us Justin Sun. We will continue to run this blockchain regardless of Steemit Inc.
I support the launch of our own STEEM chain:
