What top witnesses are you referring to? I checked several top witnesses 7-10 days ago and then rechecked some just now, and I have not seen any that recently started power downs. Of the ones I checked,

The Steemit Stake is encumbered by social contract. Maybe you don't know the history. Briefly: From an early stage, the community was understandably concerned about Steemit's large, ninja-mined stake and

Wrong. Ned had his own [substantial] personal stake held in his own personal account(s). So did Dan. But the STEEM held in Steemit accounts was something else entirely. It was meant to develop the ecosystem,

UNDELEGATED. Running 22.5 is one thing. But your assessment of the situation re: Justin Sun and the Steemit ninja-mined stake is embarrassing on multiple levels.

Exclaiming you were right doesn't make you right. The only precedent the witnesses set was that they will protect the blockchain when presented with an existential threat, and I'm glad they did. In addition

It was costly (in the thousands). But yeah, especially costly relative to the high risks that existed due to a huge amount of uncertainty. People had no idea if the token would have value, whether it would

Was there really plenty of cost involved in mining steem? At the very beginning. How could that be? What do you mean how could that be? Are you aware of how mining works? The more hash power being devoted

It would really be wrong to fork out ALL mined stake. As @tarazkp said, non-STINC miners were at a huge disadvantage. And there was a lot of risk and plenty of cost associated with mining STEEM. Not to

I agree that a shorter staking period would likely make STEEM somewhat more attractive to investors. On the other hand, the security of having a long staking period should not be discounted, especially

That makes no sense whatsoever. Steem blockchain is an open platform. If a scam project was built on it, what reflection is that on Steem itself? Such a suggestion is even sillier than saying a scam company

Stop repeating the same thing over and over again.

You guys are scammers. Lino is a joke. There is no chance Dlive will survive.

I'm sorry, but this is an utterly obtuse and irresponsible post, especially for someone that's been around here for quite a while. Are you not aware by now that ANYONE can run a witness?? Are you not aware

Nice job on this. I was glad to see that in addition to streams for posts, comments, and resteems...you also added the ability to create streams for upvotes. I find that very useful. A couple questions:

"A way to change the things you don't like about EOS" sounds awfully negative. Can you phrase this a bit more constructively?

Nice project. I've delegated 25k SP and will consider another 25k SP depending on how things progress. Speaking of which, why use ERC-20 when you could more easily use Bitshares and avoid all those ETH

I can't argue with anyone's frustration over the pace of Steemit development. Two years is indeed a long time to be in beta. But to be fair, Gmail was in beta for 5 years. And that was just a freaking

did you read the link ? or are you just trying to stir shit up?

Can you please stop false advertising Changelly? They do not support STEEM or SDB. Also, despite promising almost a year ago to support BTS, they still have not done so.

Good stuff, great to see you back!
