I think you're leaving out the parts that really bother people like the mining reset, an the incorrect instructions that people allege was intentional.

Was mining reset due to your or Dan's miners crashing at the expense of other miners?

Steemit became much less interesting to me with everyone worried about if someone is "real" or not over what they had to say. I think in some instances people will want to prove a real identity

Well don't worry about it then, no big deal.

To show I think downvoting is an important part of steemit and to protest recent changes like making downvoting flagging.

Yet suddenly that post and the other spam posts the user powercouple made and the user have been deleted huh?

I downvoted because I found this post via this SPAM: "READ AND UPVOTE MY ARTICLE ON STEEMIT PLEASE YOU WILL MAKE MONEY" I acknowledge someone unrelated to you could spam without your permission.

You can't cause someone problems by flagging, unless enough highly steem powered people agree with you.

Because you were able to cash out your steem is not proof that its not a scam.

Bit coin doesn't promise to pay out anything to users. If you send someone 1 bitcoin for goods or services, they get 1 bitcoin. Yes there is an emission schedule for miners to bootstrap currency distribution,

Soliciting or winning some SP or SBD without "proof of work" defeats the purpose of steemit. I thought SBD/SD was supposed to be money, used like money and given for any reason? Also, I didn't

I love your tool, this isn't a knock against it, but wow keeping up with all the complexity added on top of Steem/Steemit becomes a full time job!

OK I read your concerns, I think they are good points, and yeah, similar to what I'm thinking. I think its not 100% straight-forward 'YES" or "NO" on the Ponzi question. I think ultimately

I wouldn't be so quick to say its "impossible" for STEEM to be a Ponzi scheme as some people are doing in the comments. Obviously I am a STEEM user. If I was convinced STEEM is a Ponzi, I wouldn't

Well, I'd like it to be a useful platform before looking at things like "the mainstream market" and "the price is going down". I didn't know the price had anything to do with an attempted

Thanks, I'll link it here for the who are curious:

How do you make non-steemit.com Steem clients use the captcha? Besides captchas are super-annoying.

The amount will always be available, and an alternate UI platform or modification/script/browser-addin may decide to display it for people who want to see it, but as a design choice, showing it by default

I'm sure they are somewhere but I do wish all these frequent rule changes were listed somewhere more prominently on the site.

There is no issue at all with you finding wang useful. That's great! I'm just saying I, and everyone else, not just "only his creator" CAN (I just did, again) speak to the FACT that his original
