SOS Daily News : news about the State of Steem @ 13 January 2019
One main topic dominating the news...
Steemit Inc powering down and @misterdelegation (ie Steemit Inc) withdrawing its delegations from @dsound, @musing and @sndbox.
Many posts, many opinions on all this. Read them and make your own decision.
And Ned appears...
Steemit Inc acts
After the surprise submission of @jnordberg's (aka @almost-digital) Hardfork 21 'Freedom' Pull Request that would nullify the stake of all the Steemit Inc accounts, Steemit Inc has acted swiftly.
The company has moved over one million liquid STEEM to the Bittrex exchange, and begun a power down of the rest of their undelegated Steem Power (34 million SP).
Alongside this Steemit Inc removed the @misterdelegation delegations to @dsound, @musing, @sndbox and a couple of smaller accounts.
The first reaction post came from witness #22 @therealwolf...
Reaction posts followed from a number of other commentators including...
- @krnel - Steemit is Powering Down 34 Million SP, Transferring to Bittrex, and Pulling Delegations - Why It's Good News!
- @mindtrap - Just a few hours back @musing @dsound @sndbox got their delegations pulled away....and steemit account started a full power down...
Read. Absorb. Decide.
Ned pops up on Discord
Ned Scott, Steemit Inc CEO, made an unscheduled appearance on @aggroed's show on MSP Waves last night.
After typing a number of responses in chat, he was then persuaded to come on air.
Witness and long-time Steemit investor @fyrstikken and host @aggroed had a lively discussion with Ned for an hour or so.
One of Ned's main points was his desire to complete the developments to enable Hivemind and Communities to become a reality.
While still in chat he spelt out his current vision...
My vision is for Steemit Inc is steemit.com is vibrant communities web app with tokens/cryptocurrencies incentivizing and supporting the activities of those communities.When we can get communities finished and SMTs -- then being on Discord and prompting our community members to "Let's get a X community going" will be great. My belief is we need more accessible tools that drive direct value of Steem -- I believe communities and steemit.com and smts are critical to this vision. There is a hivemind post coming out tomorrow, to that end.
Ned also agreed to look into options for enhancing communication channels with the community at large.
One possibility mooted was a Steemit Inc Discord server. Alternatively @fyrstikken suggested a forum.steemit.com setup. This could be built using @buildteam's TokenBB forum system that is currently being developed.
Look out for more information coming from Steemit Inc very soon...

A lot of companies probably do similiar things behind the scenes, but get away without communicating because simply no-one knows what they're doing. However with the blockchain, it is so transparent that we can actually see what's going on!
Let's not go crazy, but i think we should expect some more communication from @steemit.
Indeed.
I'm relieved to hear that Ned finally graced us with some comments! I read @therealwolf's post, and that enormous power-down, coupled with the comment about moving it to secure wallets did not inspire confidence.
Communicating after those sorts of action are pretty vital...
Thanks a lot for these important news and the summary of the whole "powerdown"-topic. I am curious what future will bring and stay positive.
THanks for including @dtube.forum again :) there is a lot happening behind the curtain and we keep you informed for sure!
Looking forward to more updates on DTube Forum.
Great update Pennsif. This Knight is sure glad he didn't miss this one. Didn't know there was a mutiny taking place. Should have happened months ago.

Great journalism as always. My I ask anyone who knows was there a recording of the show discussed and could someone post the link. Thanks
Thank you.
@aggroed has the recording on his blog.
Thanks.
Should we add now all of bittrex accounts also to the list of "HF21"?
As they have now / starting to get, the ninja mined tokens?
And from there we could start adding more and more top level accounts.
True freedom for all users!
