HIVE - Steem will be forked this Friday!steemCreated with Sketch.

It looks like all systems go for the steem fork

Hiveio recently put out an update giving some specifics on the expected (and much celebrated) steem hardfork.

The announcement post can be seen here:

https://steemit.com/communityfork/@hiveio/announcing-the-launch-of-hive-blockchain

Some specifics...

It looks like the actual fork will take place this Friday at 10 AM EST.

The forked chain will be an exact copy of steem (at least initially), including login credentials.

It looks like the snapshot and fork will happen at that same time judging from this statement...

"The snapshot and airdrop will take place back to back at the time of launch."

Which will be Friday at 10 AM EST.

The snapshot will not include all accounts though...

Apparently it will not include more than just the known steemit,inc accounts.

Any accounts that publicly showed support for Justin Sun and actively participated in helping him will likely not be included in the snapshot as well:

"The only accounts who will not be included in the initial airdrop are those containing the Steemit Inc ninja-mined stake, and those who actively contributed to (and publicly declared support for) the centralization of the Steem Blockchain."

It's not entirely clear which accounts this will include but I would guess those that were voting on Justin Sun's witness accounts probably will not be.

Overall, it's an exciting development.

It will be interesting to see how Justin responds, if he responds.

Stay informed my friends.

So basically if you dont agree with their side they dont honor your investment? Yeah sounds real promising 🤣

Hey, @dizzyjay.

I was troubled at the additional accounts, too. I certainly can't speak for those behind the fork, but I would hope there's a difference between disagreeing with what was done and openly supporting Sun or voting on sock puppet witnesses. I've personally been hoping for a resolution this whole time, but I wouldn't consider that supporting Sun as much as wanting the best for STEEM—but now unless a last minute save can be made (no small feat, and I'm sure the fork will happen regardless—too much distrust for too many people it seems), it looks like a big chunk of the community is headed to HIVE.

This meal is well and truly over cooked.
Time to move on.
My parting gift to steem.. lol

They can go. Hive wont be different. It will be the same whales, doing the same thing, while steemit gets an overhaul. I'm dissatisfied with how any of this was handled by the witnesses, the weak original steem devs, the ruthless whales unwilling to negotiate, the way they attacked first and didnt even give Justins acquisition time for the ink to dry before stirring the whole pot and letting the wasps ruin a great partnership. They can go to their hive, they can recycle the steem idea into their little paper mache echochamber. Steemit inc and its api's will be much easier for tron to assimilate into a global phenomenon without the roadblocks.

Where's the community for Steemit going to come from once the hoards leave?

From real marketing to the other 7.3b people who never even noticed steem prior to now. Its nice when the swamp drains itself.

Hey, if Hive shakes things up enough here to spark reform, it's still worthwhile.

It's always the same with swaps... Some people are excluded and that causes friction in the community because people will question if the exclusion is justified or not. As a coin developer myself, I've had to deal with disappointed and even angry people because they were excluded from a coin swap due to various reasons.

Welp. Im a big fan of tron, ive used BitTorrent since I was young, I like what theyve done with the dlive platform and im excited for what they can do with steem and steemit now. Stick around. Big things coming.

I used to use BitTorrent too, but lately I have had no use for it except downloading large Linux install images.

Damn that was fast, I cant wait to see how this project unfolds considering there is so much community development support changes can be done much faster, lets hope Hive can get SMT's up already
