RE: Nihilist Takes on Msgivings and SBD payouts; Take another Look and See What You Think Now
I'll admit I don't know all the facts, in regards to the two points you mentioned. Especially the mining scenario. That does sound strange how it went down.
The Witch-Hunt comparison is def fitting, it was that ppl got pissed off MsGiv's was getting money writing stuff they didnt like and that she wouldnt engage in debate. it's good overall that msgivings was exposed. There's more good that came from it overall, the discussion over what is/isnt steemit abuse and plagiarism has the people who steward those things deciding on certain standards of what deserves flagging. It really pissed me off at first, but now I think that AI can be used to make posts quality posts without plagiarism, and we shouldn't be to quick to judge it as it can be the same as using any other resources (just as you can rewrite anyone eleses ideas as long as you do the proper citations) It's an extension of the general AI tech controversies.
I need to make sure I am doing more proper diligence. There was a reason for the re-launch due to an integer overflow bug.
Fortunately, @joseph does a good job detailing the history of public record in https://steemit.com/steem/@joseph/the-history-of-steem-steemit-launch-in-the-words-of-dan-larimer-from-the-early-launch-days .
I'd edit my comment above, but then your comment would seem strange, and we currently don't (currently) have a nice UI to see all edits from every post -- although, maybe we'll see that soon.
It is appreciated.
An edit function like that, with a UI for us muggles, would be a great feature. A powerful one in some ways.
No problem.
I've wanted an ability to see edits in the UI (and a save draft one) for awhile now. I only added it to the github repository recently though : https://github.com/steemit/steemit.com/issues/319
