Forkhouse 5: 7 days left

IMG-PHOTO-ART--1361463447.jpg

With Hardfork 21 now a mere 7 days away our feeds will be littered with nonsense from people telling us how it is going to be when it hits. It would be churlish of me not to join in.

Join me in this most ambitious series yet...

Baaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrppp!

I mashed my hand down repeatedly on the car horn at the traffic in front of me. It was gridlock, nothing moving.

I slid my window down and leaned out to yell.

Come on. Come on. Come on!?!?

Didn't they realise what was happening? Why did no-one seem to care??

yeysydys_20190816150224453_20190818140514970_20190820153439923.jpg

Fuck it.

I slammed the car into reverse and careened backward, smashing into the car behind me with a crump.

I shifted into first and jammed my foot down on the gas.

With a tortured screech my car untangled itself from the mess of the car behind and leapt forward.

I aimed at the barrier shielding the road from the embankment and with a throaty roar the car leapt through it and into the air, wheels spinning.

Groaning, I spat out some dust and rolled to my feet from the roadside where I had leapt clear at the last minute.

Some people had gotten out of their cars and were staring in shock at what had just happened.

Can't you see it!?! Seven days!? Seven days and all this...

I waved a hand frantically at the cars, the road, the cityscape beyond.

All this will be gone!? The old ways will be gone. Nothing left...!?

A man ventured forward and reached out as if to gently take my arm.

I bared my teeth in a snarl and he backed off hurriedly holding his hands out placatingly.

All of this, it will be NEW STEEM!! Don't you get it? Don't you understand?

The sheeple gazed back impassively. They didn't know or lacked the ability to understand the storm that was coming.

I saw someone on their phone, gesticulating at me and talking animatedly. In the background I could hear sirens and the whup whup of an approaching helicopter.

Maybe it was the DAO or the much touted New Flaggers.

They weren't getting me so easily.

I tensed and leapt...

Somewhere else.

I'm already expecting some flags my way when I bitch about certain cryptos or certain aspects of the different projects xD

But one thing I'm sure... I'll use the downvote button a lot, I'll make sure that at least once a day I go out and try to find some content thieves, spammers,etc... and flag them down to hell!!
The more I flag the more inflation there is for the ones that deserve it!

Dammit!! it's alsmost frightening how people underestimate this whole operation.

They have absolutely no fucking clue that this coming Hardfork will make Hitler's Blitzkrieg look like a lousy chess tournament for senior chimpanzees with Alzheimer ...

Oh hum, yawn, is something about to happen???????
The masses were getting used to the way things are, there are even some that are actually making a little bit from their dedicated work.
This can not happen, screw up the system by changing things again, in 12 months they will have sorted out this change and we will have the next one ready..

There is the change that's coming that will address the rewards and then in approximately Feb/march will be the long fabled SMTs!

Probably "about the same" Mr. Boom with the exception of things which will not be the same, if it turns out to be the same...!?!?!?!?!?

Hehe, yeah. Will take a bit of getting used to once the fork is complete and the lack of testing shows itself in the simplest of things not working. The drive seems to be on automating the testing of the new features and not a sniff of any manual regression. Sigh.

I still hold hope that everything will be alright and buy more steem. As long as it doesn't go the way of TSU, I am all good with it.

Less rewards, more work... what's not to love?

Throw me some muesli bars to take down under with me while I wait it out.

I am making them as I write this! I am in it no matter! And I am still stacking that steem! Oh!! And I finally made 5,000SP (the old fashioned way!)

Rough times... Well, we will all stick together and it will come out fine! Power in numbers!

TSU was another blogging platform that shut down overnight. It was the first paying platform I was in. Many shuffled over here after.

Well, to be fair, my first vote was bonafide, but then the subsequent were lower, but, the funniest part was being lower on VP and voting 0 and not even noticing.

Whoever called you fussy???

Okay, I'll carry on. Have a great day! ;)

Judging from the past history when every HF went so smoothly, I say we have nothing in the world to worry about. That and the fact that the coin increases in value over time, I think we will be just fine :D
