I didn't make a post because I didn't expect to be down this long. A car hit a pole near my house, left me without power for about 5 hours, which was one more hour than my UPS could handle. When power

Thanks for the support.

I'm definitely not the only one, but I'm guessing most are in Europe, and I'll continue assuming that until proven wrong.

Thanks for the info, just ordered this. Do you by chance need 6 new SAS drives? Don't think I can return them now.

Welcome to Hive!

You've done amazing work to get this far, so glad to be lucky enough to enjoy the journey with you.

I came to this conclusion on my own, based upon over 5 years of curation, mitigating downvote abuse, and extrapolating advances in tech. I actually talked with no one before writing the bulk of this post,

I'm sure if there ever was a consensus on this, which definitely isn't the case now, it would be a year or longer lead time before it could be implemented.

AI is already everywhere, you are not going to stop it, and then removing the rewards would also chase away most actual humans that are participating. There would really be no incentive at all at that

Out of the 2.5 million accounts on Hive, there's a few thousand that are even active. Granted many of them are not individuals, but the huge number of people we've had and lost shows there's already been

That really didn't answer the question. I'm trying to assess the value, and if there is some to be found, it shouldn't matter where it's posted.

First build that second layer, before you write all of the AI bullshit. Should Paul Revere have built an army before warning the British were coming?

IF satoshi had kept all the btc to himself it would have no value now. This is very true. As long as hive is perceived to be unfair in its distribution nobody is going to play. What's the solution?

Would you say the same if the rewards were moved to tokenized communities? If one were able to gain sweat equity in a community token that traded on a DEX for Hive, would that be sufficient?

I would say INLEO is doing this well.

But some will never engage with the current governance again. There are only 20+1 witnesses and the famous Hive Watchers are still around. I'm not sure what you mean by this.

what will be left? Feeless nearly instant transactions, immutable blogs, and if we start building now, we can have tokenized communities that handle rewards.

I gotta run, thanks for having me on!

Is the inverse true? If we lower inflation, will we gain credibility?
