RE: An Open Letter to the Social Media Monkey at SteemIt, Inc

in #steem6 years ago (edited)

Let me demonstrate (only changing whitespace):

Steem Protection Fork

This soft fork may never have to be implemented depending on
how further interactions between Tron/SteemIt and the Steem
community elected consensus witnesses.

This code change represents a minor modification to limit a
certain number of transactions for known SteemIt, Inc
accounts as well as for some exchanges that have shown they
are willing to participate in DPoS governance using
customer funds.

For more information regarding the soft fork please look at

And do further research via Google/Twitter/Medium or just look for
published news articles. Steem Protection soft fork is a protest
to the use of SteemIt, Inc ninja-mined stake in reward distribution,
witness voting, and proposal voting.

These actions have always been understood to not be something
SteemIt, Inc would partake in using the ninja-mined stake that
amounts to at least 20% of the entire STEEM funds in existence.
On top of the SteemIt, Inc stake, Binance, Huobi, and Poloniex
teamed up with Justin Sun (Tron) to circumvent the community
elected witnesses by misusing depositor funds on their respective
exchanges.

These actions have been deemed inacceptable by the Steem
community and the witnesses are taking charge to retain ownership of
the Steem blockchain. The witnesses believe Justin Sun is under the
perception that by acquiring SteemIt, Inc, he also acquired the Steem
blockchain. There has been much false reporting, fear mongering,
and uncertainty that the soft fork code implemented in this repo
has become necessary.

Not to spend too much time to trivialities during this strenuous time. Just helping make it easier to read.
