RE: Vindication. So, Stinc, who was lying? I am incompetent at systems administration, am I?
It's a sorry state of affairs that is seems to have come to this. I have raised concerns over the steemit premine several times. My biggest concern has always been that. On the new chain, I think it is imperative to do an analysis on how much premined accounts have taken out so that those that got into this with the best intentions, who have not cashed out or are founders (especially ned and dan) are compensated. I don't know yet whether I would support a fork or not, it rather depends on how it is dealt with, how fair I perceive the distribution to be, how well looked after the founders are etc. I am certainly not against examining the possibility, especially if at the same time we can address legal issues, flaws resulting from distribution and technical aspects all at the same time.
The utility of steem and the community should be the greatest concern for us all.
HHAHHA, Ever wonder how almost everyone talking positively about Dan have a vested interest in one or more of his projects, or just a complete newbie who thinks Dan , the anarcho capitalist, aiming to secure life and liberty for all, will "revolutionize" the finance and tech sector. Just lol
Oh, and EOS is a complete joke as well
on his "rebuttal" against Vitalik's criticisms of EOS :
Not even exaggerating when I call him a shameless conman, people outside of steemit are literally laughing at the platform (and eos) and its founders.
Its a nice and innovative concept, but run by some really shitty people
EOS sounds like just another shady scam by a bunch of shady nerds, just like steemit (let a few insiders in first, let insiders build power/influence/vests, then let the general public in so those same few insiders can use and abuse the noobies for their own profit/gain while convincing said noobies they are part of something special that may make them rich some day)....
No thanks. I think I'd rather risk any potential investments I may make with the upcoming independent steem fork (free from Stinc) - Calibrae
I don't think the founders need to be paid any more, the record will show they have already milked at least 10-20% of the total money that has gone into the chain, at least... I will just remove those balances, and the whole chain will be reset. Everyone will have the balance equal to what they have at the moment the chain is snapshotted, minus that premine. The chain will be fresh and new, and fast, and will give us enough time to rewrite the database engine so it does not do this again, and it will do it again sooner, with more users, should the majority wish to move over to it. I was also considering that the accounts should be marked as deactivated and require a captcha, to slow down the botfarmers.
I'll worry about that later, those little details. I'm contending with, as you can see in my newest post, reporting a compilation error when using the version of GCC in ubuntu 17.10. I was meaning to actually do something entirely different but you made me realise, that if I don't get this ball rolling, that as an informed and aware person with stake, I can be somewhat responsible if I have not taken actions I know how to take, that can bring forward resolution, if I get enough other people supporting this.
