RE: how to Cast/Withdraw Witness Votes & Withdraw App Permissions
I wouldn't say they had any moral high ground to begin with. A group of people made a judgement call, and they were absolutely right. I am out of my mind happy they did that and so quickly.
You mean the softfork? Was it quickly? The list if users is maybe determined very quickly, but the SF took more than two weeks, that is not quick! You mean quickly after the so-called puppet witnesses where removed from the top20; Well how you explain that some of the remaining top 20 witnesses being against to SF, removed from the top 20 within hours, maybe even within minutes? Seems quick, but this strongly indicates the current consensus witnesses running the new SF executed a plan together with Steemit Inc and TRON; Therefore again, not quick at all. And yeah indeed, Steemit Inc/TRON reacted super quick to revoke their witness votes for those that are against the SF.
I mean launching Hive. That was just in time before the censorship ramped up so much that informing people would be completely impossible.
Don't you think all what has happened (incl the censorship and freezing of accounts) is directly the cause of HIVE being created and subsequently, the bad acting of quite a few HIVE members at the Steem chain?
IT SHOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE ON A WELL RUNNING BLOCKCHAIN.
Its not the chain that is censored, it is the UI that is centralised as well as API's that are centralised. That said, anyone can run API nodes, but apparently nobody does other than Steemit Inc. The chain may be possible to be distributed, interface can never be. But that is not the question I asked, you stated HIVE was just in time before all censorship happens, and my statement (in form of a question) is that HIVE and more specificially the actions of some of the ex-Steemians are the result of censorship happening. Action/Reaction kinda thing.
I agree. The chain is technically still not censored, but atm it basically is just a fancy database. There used to be a lot of API nodes. Also the interface can be distributed, by running your own, and e.g. Steempeak does that and esteem did that, but esteem is now also over to Hive. I do hope the people here manage to build stuff up again... but I was kinda waiting for Hive to happen from the moment after Justin Sun came in and it was just talk about TRON, so I could do meaningful things with the blockchain without fear.
