RE: Hive...? Or can we choose a different name?
Decentralization should start from the name for sure. It should be choosed by all steem community. I prefer to have a poll. But, powerful guys already choosed the name. What we can do now simple minnows. lol
Well said. I agree with you. I'm not sure there's anything we can do other than just try to talk about it and bring any significant issues to the attention of others and if no one listens then at least you can say you tried and then just move on. Thanks for sharing some of your thoughts clixmoney!
i don't have reason to defend them, but i have a vague idea how coding works, so changing it 2 days before a fork it is not really an option. also i do understand why the did not scream on top of the lungs from they one "we are building a new chain", because justin could push for a power down and it would not be possible to eliminate steemit coins. so it kinda is what it is...
Do you support the Patriot Act? Just curious. Based on your reasoning it sounds like you would. "There's an emergency! Just let them do whatever they gotta do!" And that's fine if you do, however, I was under the impression steem had a Libertarian/Anarchist bent, so it's a bit surprising to see so many so eager to give up so much freedom while also simultaneously touting so much decentralization. -.-
they did nothing to my freedom or ability to chose. they made an option, and no one is forcing me to accept it. they did not say we are moving steem to hive.
for now i only don't have freedom to chose a name. no one asked me do i like steem as a name. can i claim it will all great. no i can't. do i like it more than justins random ideas that he throws at us just because part of the community wants to hear them, with no regards how will they be implemented. yes i do.
I never said they were moving steem to hive.
I think a true decentralized community should have a say in the name.
And there were other changes made too, we don't even know the full story or who voted as it was all done in secret and we may never know and just have to take their word for it.
And no one is forcing you no, but, they themselves mostly say they think steem is going to die as a result of this move, so you either go with them or you're F!$@ed according to their own statements.
i do understand what you are saying but if they said 2 weeks ago that they are starting a work on a hard fork that will be a new blockchain with no steemit stake justin would push for fake witnesses did a quick powerdown HF and the new chain would not be possible. and to be honest i would not really be in any help in making the new chain. name, or some other things, well maybe i can live with that.
They said the code for the fork will be public today (if already is not) so if you understand it, you can check it out and if you don't like it you could hope that justin will not f-up steem.
