RE: Deescalating and working towards a mutually beneficial solution
I think the most likely scenario if there isn't an accord is people will simply make a fork of steem and not include steemit on that. In the long term I think it will end up being the more successful fork.
I don't find this credible at all. The new fork would have no devs, no exchange relationships, and no pre-consensus mechanism that might lead to acquiring those things.
You can complain about how little Steemit has gotten in return for their investment all you want, but I've seen no reason to believe that any alternative would do better. Centralization has a lot of advantages in terms of managing the development process.
Also, I have seen attempts to fork Steem in order to obviate the ninjamined stakes fail in the past. That's not to say a new one wouldn't succeed (with new and more coders) but there is a good reason Gorilla Kings are solid investments.
Given the mess such forking would certainly entail, it's hardly certain anyone would benefit from it, and there's plenty of ways everyone could be hurt.
Thanks!
Note that this isn't a proposed attempt to obviate ninja-mined stake and the abuse thereof, which would at least have a philosophical basis. Freedom isn't being threatened; of course, he's voted all of these people into power. They aim to maintain their own ninja-mine monopoly while shutting Ned out of his.
Thanks for pointing that out. I missed that in the manufactured outrage.
It's really far too late for that and the timing is all wrong.
'that' being???
I agree about timing, regardless of what it is bad timing for. Hivemind just came out, and communities and the rest are just around the corner.
I hope.
More importantly, this whole thing could cause Ned to decide to keep MIRA exclusive to Steem or even to Steemit Inc. It's an obvious reply to the threat of a true fork: go ahead and try to run your own chain that's twelve times as expensive as ours.
They aren't obligated to make that development available to anyone else, or to release it under the same license as past updates. But this would be disastrous to everyone's growth.
Let's hope that @ned is above being so triggered by present circumstances, and that no further insults are piled on the extant injury, because that is very true.
Thanks!
That, meaning forking out the Ninja stake.
Ah! I could not more strongly agree. Optics could also hardly be worse.
This kerfuffle is a shitshow, for sure.
Thanks!
