I've had someone else who received negative feedback while talking about the same topic contact me and I think now that the possible negatives for creating this post far outweigh the benefits. I have the code on my computer for a future hardfork to create a vote for that one when the time comes, as I believe that would be more likely to succeed and produce results and would not generate a possible large negative response
Basically the bad ass who programmed dsteem, the API that is superior to what Steemit Inc. designed (SteemJS) created a way for witnesses to fork STINC's holdings into the void. He's obviously not too pleased with the leadership here.
Awesome, thanks for this! I looked at the block and read this. The vote code doesn't seem to be around anymore, but it's definitely all an interesting development. I'm honestly not sure where I personally lie on it all... but I definitely think it's good that there is potentially an option.
I'm very worried about people flagging me though -- this is a very sensitive topic and I believe some have been attacked for talking about it. I've added a disclaimer to the end hoping to show that I'm remaining neutral here:
WOW, I heard about the fork threat and Steemit powering down because of it, but now everything is making way more sense.
@almost-digital created a superior API (dsteem) that Stinc now forked and is using for their own purposes. It feels like @almost-digital is just as fed up with Steemit's incompetence as I am.
I've always talked about this fork as a way to cull the exploitative whales on the platform, but this is just way too soon to be even thinking of something like this. @jnordberg's actions are going to have quite the consequence.
When it really comes down to it Steem needs a superior reputation system; one that actually means something. A fork like this can only work if the reputation of accounts are accurate and we have some kind of idea of who should own what to start.
I had created a community voting custom_json program for the freedom 21 hardfork. After I had someone contact me who had been attacked for simply mentioning the fork PR’s existence, I thought it over again and believe that no good can come from a freedom 21 vote right now, so I’ve stored away the code until either a) freedom 21 matures or b) a new fork is created (maybe hf21 by StInc). Thanks for asking.
Thanks! I've been working on a myriad of steem-based projects; in fact one of the reasons I came back is that Steem is so damn easy to program on. I've built a few libraries to help me out with my projects (one such being steem-state) and now I can make a token on Steem with a full CLI much easier than I could on something like EOS or Ethereum, and it's easy to test and very performant... And the community was just something I always missed about Steem after leaving.
I'm glad to see you back; I know you won't be very active but it's still great to see you!
haha that was quick

Dagnammit... I would have loved to read whatever this was... there's so much going on behind the scenes at the moment...

It's right there on block 29432968.
I already got in trouble for doing this to meno. Time to double down. I don't feel so bad because I resteemed this one.

Great project ;)

I may withdraw this post... But I don't have enough stake for a ton of flags to really hurt... I'm still not sure
Haha dude
Are you serious? :D

Hi! I've just seen your post. What was it about?
PS: don't worry, I don't think anybody will flag you that bad. We should have the freedom of speech after all, shouldn't we?

Interesting things happened since I have become inactive here. It is nice to see you back, I don't think I got the occasion to tell you that :)
