RE: Steem Protection Soft Fork 0.22.2
A collective decision? You mean centralized censorship right? I thought the steem community was against censorship. A sad day for the cryptocurrencies base fundamentals.
You seem to be something of a volunteerist (quick impression; sorry if off base). Explain to me how witnesses are supposed to be compelled to process transactions they consider to be harmful. The blockchain censorship resistance comes from the dynamic nature of witnesses and the ability of other witnesses to be voted in, which can absolutely happen at this moment.
I would agree with you more if witnesses were interfering with any legitimately voting stake, including, especially, the stake voting them in (say, blocking transactions that remove their own received votes). That would represent a true failure of DPoS and of the blockchain. It is also not happening.
Indeed.
Firstly this decision isnt a direct result of not wanting to process harmful transactions this decision is an assumtion of negative intent, that directly removes value from an investors assets without consent. Its a move resulting from fear and uncertainty left behind by the original founders. So you're saying the legally purchased stake acquired through the acquisition of steemit isnt legitimate? Is this because the original owners opted to not use it when it was their property ? Or is it because its now owned by Justin Sun? Even if its both, the reality is this softfork is illegal on account of the fact this measure is a directly unprovoked and negative action against the personal property of steemit inc and its new owners by a group of witnesses who are willing to throw out their reputations in the first two weeks after the partnership without any reason whatsoever other than fear of the unknown. I for one no longer believe steem blockchain is viable now to do obvious centralization issues and personally cant wait for steemit to hardfork to a TVM dpos based steem. Im sure witnesses will totally have no problem running steems old fork without steemit, even while their tied up in court dealing with the legal ramifications of this move.
