Yes, these times are pretty hefty for musicians... Ah well, it is going to be hard for many people though.

As for hive, I have been asking around and it appears that it is possible to write an appeal via the SPS equivalent on Hive. It must feel terrible to have been treated like this. I already saw that the Tron/steem thing was getting ugly and hyper partisan...and now it is a bit over the top with the blacklist. I could write one for you and @remlaps if there is a problem with the lack of hive power, although I would also understand if you both felt betrayed by the whole experience. Anyway, I would wait a a week or so... Let some cool heads prevail...

I could also delegate some HP to your accounts so that you at least have some power to cross post if you are interested?
