My initial reply which I clarify further below:
My suspicion:
Of course, it's too early to say definitively what is going to happen but it doesn't look great.
If StInc pulls their nodes, this means more pressure on others offering public RPC nodes (such as @anyx, @themarkymark and @gtg) that have been offering free services to the chain. This has been done most likely at a loss from what I understand per discussions w Marky.
This means the load on other RPC nodes will be increased. Again, this is only speculative that StInc will pull the plug but I believe it is certainly a possibility that should be considered.
I'm not saying we need to start panicking. What I am saying is we need to plan accordingly. This means we need an archive of all meaningful data, all repositories and anything else that could be lost during the coming phases.
Let's not allow @ned to determine our destiny. We can choose for ourselves.
This post was created using the @eSteem Android App.
They also have a referral program that promotes users to onboard to our great chain.
Another cool thing is users are rewarded ESTM for their activity as well as their referrals'.
If you don't already use the app, it would mean the world to sign up using my referral link.
