RE: Regarding the Github Issue to Fork out SteemIt Inc.'s Stake..
I don't really understand what it all means for Steemit to fork out their stake. Are they forming something new with their removed Steem? Is this Ned sending his newly liberated coins into this new social media project that he spoke about ages ago?
I have no idea. And I'll probably remain to be ignorant. But I'll stick around and create my money via typing letters on my keyboard for some time to come. I haven't ever invested a cent into Steemit. So my stake is all my magically created unicorn money anyway. And it will remain that way.
There was a "Plot" to make a copy of steem and copy everything but steemit incs stake. I assume this copy would also want to carry forward with the name of Steem.
Anyway, I doubt it will happen. But felt it was important to state that I think it is theft.
Yet, I also wanted to acknowledge that I know why it has been suggested and I get it.
I wonder if Steemit Inc. has a lot of stake in accounts that we don't know about? It wouldn't be difficult to put Steem into lots of smaller accounts, so they would still have a stake in an alternative Steem. That's what I would do if there was this threat. Looking at Ned's account, hasn't he powered down and removed most of his Steem? I don't like the idea of a split, it has caused more harm than good for other coins. I'd rather see if Steemit Inc. can get their act together or if they need to be replaced.
I'm sure they hold other accounts. I think the key is to just not expect much from them. During the days Ned was missing, I saw a lot of people start to solve problems instead of waiting for ned to fix things.
