RE: An Open Letter to the Community - HF22.5
MALICIOUSLY STRUCTURED! Fully agree. They basically were trying to hold the stake hostage so they could do what they wanted with it. I said burn it all and they told me to fuck off. Regardless if it was ninja mined and 'promised' or not. I understand why they did, but did not agree with it. I am curious though, where is 22.4? Looks like you pissed off a lot of people. To be expected. There are some majorly valid points down there, especially concerning the community aspect of it and the sheer numbers of supporters many have. Those numbers (albeit some long since inactive accounts - and I imagine some are even from themselves) represent what Steem really is. The community. As long as you all don't do anything too drastic and have the blockchain's best interests at it's core, that community will remain. But the blockchain without the community is - nothing.
wow, good job Justin, now you upvote the 3 posts that agree with you and downvote the 50 that call you for what you are, you really have no limits to how you ll abuse of your power. Congratulations for killing our chain.
Actually, this @ben account was created during the initial mining of Steem when it launched, which means, this is an old account, nothing to do with @justinsunsteemit. So uh, I would say somebody might be interested to see where Steem goes.
huh, maybe check steemd and you will see the ownership was changed at the same time as the other Ned's accounts...
Touche'
so belongs to steemit, hence belongs to justin.
It's Steemit controlled account. You don't seem to have any idea on what you're talking about.
Nope, I'm an idiot.
And I'm upset, so I wish you don't take this personally.
No worries. There'll be a lot of passion and fear and all kinds of crazy emotions flaring the next few days. :P
It was never really ours. It was @neds. He just let us pretend it was ours.
At least it showed the extreme level of naivety that the 'collective' witnesses possess.
Not being one to say 'I told you so...'
but....lmao.
I feel you. Was a 'pretty wise move' thinking they could actually get away with it.
let me get your opinion on this:
should they have burned all the Neon Green stake immediately?
This means nothing to me, soz...link?
Neon Green was a designation of the particular premined stake owned by steemit inc.
aggroed made the classification in this post

ok cheers, that makes things a bit clearer.
I still don't know the answer to your question, though.
I think if the genuine intention was to decentralize, the system wouldn't have been set up like it was, in the first place.
Oligarchical, as opposed to representative, for example (not thought it through, so can't really expand too much, and on my first coffee).
This! This right here
this
it wouldnt have stopped the counter-coup, but maybe it would have removed justin's motive for conducting it
