RE: Why account values (and a few other things) are messed up
the least amount of supply was on korean exchanges
One of the Korea exchanges has a shared order book with bittrex which has the most SBD supply. In fact it was even a bit odder than that. Traders on the Korea exchange were able to trade on a shared bittrex order book but, unlike traders on Bittrex itself, were not allowed to deposit or withdraw (except maybe in KRW, I don't remember the details exactly).
anyway the big SBD pump began on bittrex on 22
Hmm. See above.
i can see SBD price deviated a lot multiple times prior to HF19 and this didn't seem to break the peg which happened proper last November
It was broken in the sense of a sustained period above $1 (with numerous spikes, one as high as $30) for a couple of months after HF19. The November pump/breakage was larger of course, due to the larger external factors in the rapidly rising crypto markets (first Bitcoin then alts).
Nevertheless in my opinion the underlying root cause of the breakages, including the one that started in November, is the lack of an upper peg. It is just that up until that point market conditions happened to be such that it wasn't needed (generally weak conditions in crypto markets, including STEEM, tended to push the price down, for which a mechanism exists, more than up).
how you didn't know about namecoin that started in 2013 and was in the top 20 for years and also is one of the few that actually had a good use case from the beginning to this day
No idea what you are talking about. I was one of the first miners of namecoin as well as one of the first people to design and develop a crypto-to-crypto exchange (which initially supported NMC and BTC and was designed to support what I expected to be a growing population of such coins) but never went live because of poor and declining market conditions and legal concerns).
Namecoin was launched in 2011 not 2013, btw.
what exchange share sorderbook with bittrex?
in 2017 SBD was over $1.3 for at least 3 months going to $6 one day how didnt this break?
and if such an issue why dont witnesses use other SBD changing parameters as in the bias
namecoin is used to create websites with zeronet
if you mined how did you use before?
I don't recall. The odd setup was explained back then by @clayop, a witness and member of Steemit Korean community.
I don't understand what you mean by break. Different shocks have differing effects, depending on magnitude, system conditions, duration, etc. Even now SBD is slowly in the process of recovering: The peg-to-$1 price for STEEM has declined from 0.415 to 0.403. Unfortunately STEEM has continued to decline in price but unless it continues to decline to zero, eventually SBD will likely re-peg.
Bias has undesired secondary effects including increasing the total Steem inflation rate. It isn't an effective tool.
OK, sounds cool. I haven't followed namecoin recently.
I'm not sure if I understand this question. Maybe you were asking how I used namecoin? At the time the only way was the original (forked from bitcoin) command line tools and a proxy you could direct your DNS to make use of namecoin names.
