After tron acquired steem blockchain, there has been uncertainity everywhere and steem is in chaos. Nothing has changed fundamentally, steem is as great as it was 2 months ago but we saw the fork on the chain to create hive , we saw a lot of users migrating to hive , we saw a lot of propoganda against steem, we also saw a lot of debates, we also witnessed the takeover attempt from the steemit inc.

In all these incidents what progress we made? To be honest – nothing.

Steem and steemit has a brand, it has a name, we can't and we won't let it die and give that name to something else just created for cartelers from here to continue their cartel. Together we can bring people who went to hive due to influence back to their home platform, which is far more superior, decentalized and has far more odds to succeed.

In this time of uncertainity, steem needs support, steem needs support to be fighting and improving. We are here to provide that support. We are number of community members who have gathered together to run a witness and always fight for the interest of the community.

We are working on the steemconnect because the official steemconnect is being migrated to hivesigner as far as we believe. We will not rename it and the original creator will always get the credit.

Our witness is live!

What is witness and why you need to vote wisely?

Witnesses are those who take decision on the blockchain. Witness must vote to either accept or reject any changes made to the blockchain. Your and all of our future depend upon choosing the right witness. We could have stopped steem forking into hive and all this dramas if we had witnesses who believed in long term values of the platform and voted not to do so. We could have stopped soft Fork 0.22.8888 which we will talk more about in the same post.

Who should you vote?

If you like the ideology of the witness and if you think they can protect the blockchain and take right decision, you should vote them. A witness should always protect the chain and develop for the long term, not abandon it to meet their personal needs and propoganda.

The previous witnesses threatened the Steem Blockchain while running a hardfork on Steem, still being top witness. This happened but should not happened again!

The Soft Fork 0.22.8888

We are against the softfork 0.22.8888 and we will not support it. No exchanges trust steem at the moment, Privex.io also does not takes steem but accepts hive. If users who are willing to cash out their hard worked steem rewards and are not able to do that ...will they still stick to steem?

Our Favourite witness Wishlist is as follows (Either running chain version 0.22.1 or version 0.22.5)
