RE: Tauchain and the privacy question (benefits of secret contracts and private knowledge)
Quite easy to snapshot the Steem blockchain and create a Steem 2.0 with all the exact same token distributions. Quite easy even for Tauchain or any other project to snapshot the Steem blockchain and sharedrop a token to compete with Steem.
As someone who’s primary investment in Steem, I think that’d be great.
I’ve had many concerns regarding Steemit’s weaknesses, and accompanying confusion about how I’d prefer to allocate my investment, when the time comes for Steem 2.0 - unsure of whether to move funds over, how much, etc.
That’d be pretty awesome to be airdropped an amount of tokens proportional to my Steem holdings, and thus have a beginning stake in others, should they be the ones to solve the challenges and win out.
Quite a brilliant idea.
