The ninja mined steem it seems does need to go. I imagine that would upset more than just Justin Sun. He bought steemit, was steem.io also sold, is steem block chain actually owned by an entity? All, (most of the important ones), developers have left steemit. SMT Hard Fork was in the testing phase, (Still testing or not?), by all accounts I read it was going pretty good. Now the big question, the really BIG question, is steemit.inc needed to do a hardfork? Can, (as they were hoping), steempeak do a steem block chain hard fork that will preserve the steem block chain and not make it a sister/child fork? I guess I'm asking is what part in the steem block chain other than determining what would be done in hard forks did/does steemit do? Are they needed if we have 17 top witnesses?
