I would like to lay out my views on the proposed fork and why I think it is the only option if Steem is to have a future. Steemit Inc.'s initial 80% "ninja-mine" has always been portrayed as

I'm not going to candy coat any of this, since I think the greater community needs a splash of realism and less pandering. At this point in time I have nothing to lose (besides wasting my time) and just

Sorry for the very fast posting schedule but this just came to mind so wanted to get it out for some discussion before Irun off to the grocery store. This is a stake based system and if Steem was forked

Dear Ned and Steemit Inc decision makers, Over the years my team has done our best to the support the Steem ecosystem as a witness and contributors. You are not instilling trust in the Steem blockchain

5 days ago, I've shared with you an open letter I wrote to Ned & Steemit Inc., about my concerns with the current 35 Million SP power-down of @steemit and the risk this possesses for Steem. Yesterday,

Latest Update 2019-02-05 Power down rate has been reduced to the normal systematic selling rate of approx 700 000 SP per month. Before the reduction approx 8 million SP made it onto exchanges. The reduction

I'm in the awkward position of being obligated to publicly comment on something that should never have escalated to this point. This isn't a threat, or an ultimatum, just a request that I fully expect

Firstly, let me be categorically clear that I am not aware of any fork being planned, nor have I ever considered supporting any contentious forks. I commit to not supporting any fork (i.e. signing blocks

Ned/Steemit, A lot has happened in the past seven days. I'm sure by now most of the community is aware by now of the fact Steemit, Inc. started a large power down in reaction to a perceived threat of a

If future historians will ever be able to write an accurate description of this era, they may well label it as one of enforced scarcity. Back in the 1970s, Buckminster Fuller calculated that even with
