RE: Hive AirDrop Exclusion List
There will be no voiding of anything on Steem. A bunch of people are powering down so I assume Justin Sun will have his consenus very soon once the former witnesses fall out of top 20.
I will then be able to actualize the HF he wanted and who knows what that will entail.
By punishing accounts you lose any morale or social support on that chain, just saying.
This is a contentious issue but my personal opinion is that I am okay with it. I personally don't want those people who deliberately supported Justin with witness votes to his sock puppets getting free Hive tokens.
That is akin to, for lack of a better word, infecting the hive chain with the hostility that the fork wanted to move away from.
I want both chains to prosper but I highly doubt Justin Sun's intentions are aligned with that. All the best to Steem.
Well not now but that was the initial intent. You don't want people who deliberately supported Justin getting an airdrop eh? Well explain how Binance and Huobi who were the ones who got Justin into those witness positions get an Airdrop, whilst those voting after the fact don't?
Good question.
On Huobi, it is true the participated in getting Justin his sock puppet witnesses but as soon as they realized what they had done, they immediately reversed their vote and started powering down.
On Binance, they also reversed their vote and started powering down but they never opened up withdrawals. Even with withdrawals deactivated for customers, somehow Justin Sun was able to withdraw 3.6M Steem from Binance. Clearly, unlike Huobi Binance are still in bed with Justin.
That is why many people including myself are against airdropping Binance the new Hive tokens.
However, doing that would void legitimate claims from steem users who have their funds frozen on Binance.
If it were up to me, I would consider everybody else collateral damage so Sun doesn't get a single Hive coin free, but that would be the childish vindictiveness previously alluded to.
