Witnesses Using Different Fork Versions
Ok, so the witnesses are not even using the same version as you can see in the above screenshot. I would really like to know what this is all about. Just in this screenshot I see the following:
22.1
22.2
22.333
22.4444
And there is also just plain 22.0.
Now just what the hell do these versions do? I saw a post by @timcliff where he says the 22.4444 is a version that doesn't take into account forks 22.2 and Sun's 22.5.
Can someone just tell me what the differences are?

The Steem blockchain is currently being attacked by a central authority in order to take control of the witnesses. If you are not managing your witness votes, please consider setting @berniesanders as your witness voting proxy by clicking here to help restore the decentralization of Steem.
22.0
No softfork changes. The version before Steem release 22.1 which contained the patch described in GitHub here. Note: this version is compatible with 22.1.
22.1
No softfork changes. The clean version before all the "drama".
22.2
Softfork changes implemented by a super-majority of witnesses to prevent Tron's accounts from voting on witnesses, voting on content, voting on SPS proposals, powering down, and transferring stake. Details here.
22.3
My version of the soft-fork which prevented Tron from voting for witnesses, but did not block them from doing anything else. Details here.
22.333
@therealwolf's version. See his comment in reply to this post.
22.4444
Non-Tron witnesses running the same code as 22.1 (no softfork) but in symbolic protest of Tron's hostile takeover.
22.5
Tron witnesses running the same code as 22.1 (no softfork) who were put in place by Tron + exchanges as part of a hostile takeover.
Ok, thanks, very well explained.
Good that everyone can see now clean explanation/comparison in one place
@yabapmatt and @pharesim are running 22.0. Just more outdated than 22.1?
Yes. It is still compatible though.
Thank you for your continued service and helpful information.
Thanks. Question:
What about the "missing blocks" from the former community witnesses, who are now in the top 20 again?
Can they do their work despite missing blocks? Or is this already a chain split?
In my opinion nobody should prevent anybody from doing this or that. The pure law of steem is:
SP = Influence.
Now the community is regaining the control without changing the rules and that's fine. We shoud not continue the war with Justin. Instead of this we should bring all our brain and ideas together to öush steem forward.
Thanks, mate.
Missing blocks by itself isn’t an indication that someone shouldn’t be a witness. It depends on the reason. If a witness is missing blocks because they don’t have proper infrastructure or failover processes in place, that is bad - but that is not the only reason blocks are missed. Most of the time there is a good reason for it, and not something to get unvoted for.
Thanks for the clarity in this forest of emotions and rumors
22.333 is my version of steemd, which is the same as 22.1 or 22.4444, just with a different version number.

I'm going to switch over back to 22.1 soon.
Indeed ^^
These ones are the real ones:

Vote for 22.0 22.1 the 22.4444 is the worst sign of racism and shows the witnesses are fucking dicks.
They should switch back to 22.1 and leave it at that
Wtf are you talking

Now that looks messy. No consensus. Multiple chains. Looks like a cluster disaster. Steemit is a dead man walking.
