Update: Townhall & Witness Meeting

Townhall and Witness meetings.jpg

Hello Steemians, we apologize for not updating you sooner but the last thing we wanted to do was give you inaccurate or untruthful information. We have now met with the TRON team and are excited to share with you the outcome of those meetings.

Town Hall

We will be hosting a Town Hall meeting a week from today, March 6th at 9 pm PST. We will provide Zoom meeting information prior to the meeting. Please leave any questions or comments to this post that you would like to be addressed during this forum.

Prior to the Town Hall, there will be a meeting between Steem Witnesses, Justin Sun and other TRON members, as well as the Steemit team. The meeting is tentatively set for Wednesday, March 4th at 9 pm PST. This will be a great opportunity for the Steem Witnesses to share their ideas and vision for Steem. The community asked for this, so we are happy to deliver on that request.

Our Visions

The most important question in our minds going into these meetings was not whether we share the same vision for Steem, but whether these two organizations, each with their own strengths, can work together to help realize one another’s visions. We were happy and somewhat surprised, to discover that this is the case.

Both organizations are trying to onboard the masses to the blockchain through amazing applications. But while Steem is taking a more application-specific approach that enables it to provide speed, consistent user experience, and free transactions, TRON is constructing an ecosystem of interconnected databases like the TRON blockchain and BTFS each of which serves a specific purpose. They see the Steem blockchain as the perfect addition to this ecosystem.

Making History

After meeting with the team we all agreed that the best way to progress our missions and add value to one another’s stakeholders is to connect our two powerful blockchains through Cross-Chain Atomic Swaps!

This would be the first time in history that two blockchains of this size will be connected to one another so that tokens can flow freely, and voluntarily, between the chains without the need for trusted intermediaries like exchanges.

New Path, Same Destination

We know that there is still a lot of work to be done to mend the wounds created by previous leadership and a rocky transition, but we are now confident that this partnership can be the new beginning that Steem so desperately needs. We hope you will join us on this new path toward achieving the same mission: to onboard the masses to the blockchain by tokenizing the web.

But let us know what you think. Do you think Cross-Chain Atomic Swaps sounds like the type of win-win solution that could help Steem and TRON explode into the mainstream? Let us know in the comments below and we will see you next week at the Town Hall.

It's not up to steemit to launch SMTs. They already made the code available for testing. Once the witnesses are comfortable that there aren't any critical bugs in the code they can go ahead and deploy it.

Short answer: the witnesses need to decide when it's safe to upgrade not steemit.

Well neds old stake plus Justin's new ideas depends how generous Justin is feeling with he's stake right now?

Should he throw it all back into the kitty and have huge rewards for all? And have the one chain trickle into a decentralised economy for all nations as such a chain was intended for.

The problem Justin has is that he thinks anyone has any interest in anything TRON offers.
Why in the world would i ever move my Steem to TRON to use it. Theres nothing on Tron (except Dlive) with any remote utility.

If anything these atomic swaps are beneficial for STEEM (if Justin doesnt try any fuckery from his side) since Steem has so much more to offer then TRON does to their community.

Is Dlive on Tron and not Lino or is Lino connected to Tron? Last time I checked, Dlive left Steem for Lino. I guess I don't know a lot about Lino.

Nice. This seems to be inferring that the STEEM chain will continue to exist, while being able to interface with TRON..?

Hopefully this is the case and we can revert this soft fork and continue on forwards with development, on both chains!

Well that is just straight false, but it definitely fits the established pattern of hyperbolic marketing that both Tron and SteemIt, Inc seem to engage in.


As far as the meeting "invitation" goes, 9PM PST is a little more than ridiculous. If we are trying to get a time when the majority of time zones can participate, I think those in China could get involved before 1PM in their work day.


Finally, Justin Sun has promised "airdrops" or some other token distribution to TRX holders. Why is there nothing similar being mentioned for STEEM holders? Really kind of comes across as TRX holders being the ones Sun cares about not both blockchains equally.

Why would he care about both equally? Be great if he did, but not going to be the case - yet. My hope is, he sees what Steem really can be, falls in love with it, leaves TRON for better skies like he did Ripple and brings his resources here to make Steem phenomenal. Best case scenario.

Any chance you guys talked about picking up development of SMTs and utilizing the SPS to fund development if Steemit.inc decides to drop it?

There could be some conflict of interest since SMTs could be seen as competition to TRC10, TRC20 tokens due to their extreme ease of use and superiror user experience.

(Edited)

From the perspective of Steem users, would it be smart or even possible to look at the TRC, the Tron stuff, or to somehow treat Tron like we would SMTs? I mean like, doesn't TRC interact with Steem or would TRC interact with Steem in the same way SMT would? So, is the SMT system not up and running on Steem yet? Has that been delayed just like Communities were delayed? Does it look like TRC would have some kind of advantage over SMT? I mean like, would SMT and TRC not be on a leveled playing field of competition against each other? If that is the case, then that is like stabbing SMT in the back with a knife perhaps.

In regards to this post, I'm personally quite optimistic and are looking forward to the 6th of Match, but as always, one has to be realistic. Steem is a project where people have invested a lot (monetary & time-wise) and it should be treated as such. Even if that means, saying "constructive negative shit".

Cross-Chain Atomic Swaps > Token Swap

This will keep Steem sovereign and boost both ecosystems. Bitcoin and litecoin did it, now making a blockchain like Steem, connect to a general application blockchain like Tron will be very cool.

Mutual win-wins are what this is all about.

Polkadot and the web3 foundation have been working on connecting blockchains so this is by far a first, they are also way head. I still dont get why steem is not part of that.

The word swap, rather than exchange pair is rather worrying.

I think tron and steem can be strong together and there is potiental, but it will be easy to mess it up, and fast.

(Edited)

DApps use blockchains as back ends, either as data storage (Steem) or for computing/data storage (Tron when using it for smart contracts). An app that used both Steem and Tron would benefit both blockchains by increasing organic demand for the tokens, that is SP, STEEM/SBD and TRX/possibly some TRC10 tokens.

I think it's the terminology because it will work directly between the two blockchains and not via an exchange. That's what I understood from their post:

This would be the first time in history that two blockchains of this size will be connected to one another so that tokens can flow freely, and voluntarily, between the chains without the need for trusted intermediaries like exchanges.

If we ignore the first part regarding being the first time, which might or might not be accurate (they do say "of this size" and I'm not familiar of the sizes of the other blockchains which inter-operate), they do say one very important word - VOLUNTARILY. No one will be forced to do these atomic swaps if they don't want to, which seems much better than the sound of the initially marketed token swap.

Atomic is a CS technical term for all or none. Allows for coins or tokens to be exchanged in escrow. Sometimes without need for escrow agent because the chains take part in locking the ledgers in limbo. This allows for at least 2 people to swap. Sometimes more complex arrangements are made like multiple tokens or an escrow mediator. Details depends on the technology available and how the swap is done.

It is a blockchain or Bitcoin term right? Well, maybe not a Bitcoin term but cryptography should follow the same all or none logic to ensure transactions are verified and completed so that things are not left in limbo like you said. There are differences between cryptocurrencies and how traditional digital fiat currency works. So, it sounds like the cross chain atomic swapping is a term meant to describe a mechanism within cryptography itself but with the addition of going from one blockchain to another blockchain, am I right? So, in other words, instead of an external middle-man exchange, it sounds like the atomic thing is like a built-in internal exchanging protocol that is built in on both blockchains that allow for the transactions, I mean the exchanges. So, technically, it is not that there is no middle man but that there is no third-party middle man, it would seem.

A cross-chain atomic swap is a way to exchange your tokens on one chain for tokens on another chain without using a third party like an exchange in between. It's a protocol for ensuring that the whole exchange takes place or none of it. To do it, you need a wallet that supports both coins and the protocol.

atomic swaps would be direct copies like the kind hardware cant handle

on planet Crypton everything's a pitch

99% of who you're talking to doesn't even know what you're saying

you just need the magic words that are

fashionable

you should refrain from trying to enlist people who do
understand

this is a cute post

i see steem going between 12 cents and 20

not 7 dollar

so its not there yet

(where it was)

you happy ?

you think like

O WE GOT 20 CENTS

VICTORY ?

are you ? do you ?

you lack imagination ?

its what Einstein (yours) warned me about

all you know is fashionable

and numbers

il grant you that much

first one to say spelling mistake gets shot

you people care to much , this place was built to harbour 20 at best

it works fine like that

dont grab what you can

use it

you don't see the part where even your leaders are just following trends ?

i have no intention

i also have nothing to prove, good luck with that angle

Thanks for agreeing to meet prior to the Town Hall so we can lay out our intentions, expectations and hopes and all get on the same page or at least - in the same book where the pages are read. I think ultimately, the same goals are aligned for both chains in the cryptospace. But the softfork shows concern for our blockchain due to the lack of communication and, I haven't been here as long as others, but some bad blood appears to need to be let.

Interoperability due cross-chain atomic swaps may be not a key to onboard the masses, but it can lead to a network with more value of usage. Connecting two networks leads to a bigger network with much higher value following metcalfes law. However a mass onboarding requeires an easy usage of that entire network. We will not onboard anyone if he has to know what an atomic swap is.

Cross-chain atomic swap, sound to be the most likely to push both tron & steem to the best destination we all wish this blockchain to be. This would boost the users with ease transaction & incentivize steem in many ways. We hope the Town Hall meeting comes off & going to experience much.

the best way to progress our missions and add value to one another’s stakeholders is to connect our two powerful blockchains through Cross-Chain Atomic Swaps!

Yes, a bridge between the Tron and Steem blockchain, that is the best next step, I think. With Steem adding SMTs, being able to swap chains, make it so!

Great news.

STEEM

Now with Cross-Chain Atomic Swaps!

A late 80's early 90's cereal commercial comes to mind when I hear that inside my head. If we're going mainstream with that though, we might have to hire Mr. T to say it.

I have two questions I'd like answered at this meeting.

  1. What the hell is a Cross-Chain Atomic Swap?(Never mind. Thanks Google.)

  2. Who took all the names?

So basically “Steemit joined Tron Network” = there will be a DEX between steem and tron currency.

At least the chain stays as it is. Good.

I hope all the fuzz words the team throws on social media these few days is because they see the value of Steem ecosystem and would be willing to invest some marketing resources (yea, have to admit that’s what we lack atm on Steem) on the chain (yay something like pump steem price 10 times would do.... jk) not just to make tron ecosystem sounds awesome.

Alright. So this has some good news and clarifications at least. I'm glad to hear that the news we've been hearing of plans for a "token swap" now comes down to atomic swaps that I understand is a 1:1 pair where you always have the identical number of tokens on each chain, rather than this being some new token that we are asked to trade in our STEEM in exchange for (as many have feared). This can be cool, as it practically means that there'll be opportunities for Steem dApps to utilize smart contracts if they want to, while others won't have to deal with Tron if all they need is already on Steem. Great. That settles a lot of concerns people have had.

My main question is to what extent this is likely to benefit Steem or Tron the most? Is adding value to STEEM still the main priority of the team? Or is there now a conflict of interest where the new owners benefit more from Steemit developers helping grow the value of TRX? In that case, is the Steemit Inc stake, which is promised to be used to grow Steem, still going to be used explicitly for that purpose?

Many questions still left to answer, but at least I feel a bit better from this post.

an atomic swap is not a 1:1 pair. it's more like a decentralized network where transaction happens when certain conditions are met which includes the exchange rate. but i dont really care how much value it's gonna bring to steem/tron. i care that it's not a token swap where justin is trying to force people to give up steem.

I agree that the downvote flag button should be replaced with like a Reddit style dislike button and there should be an option to be able to see posts with more likes closer to the top of the feed like you would see on Reddit. Perhaps, they should have a like button and an upvote button as liking and upvoting can sometimes be separate. If I like something, I want to like it. But upvoting might be like a super like, well depending on how Steem works. But upvoting is almost like buying something. Well, I mean, upvoting can be expensive or whatever the case might be. I would prefer having an option to vote or to like or to do both things.

Obviously a marketting person wrote the post. Someone who has mastered being evasive and trying to spin garbage as something we want or can agree too. No matter how you spin it, Tron is still as Justin Sun Said, S___. The answer that Tron/Justin Sun refuses to answer is why the f___ do they need a steem tron coin. Now that the atomic swap has been mentioned, it brings up new dangers to the Steem chain. Still the same dangers of the new mintage for which Sun Tron has not given any info on, but certainly a backdoor to try to get behind the issue of the control that the consensus witnesses have; Basically an open invitation for more Ninja mining on Tron's end that gets instantaneously swapped over to steem. In a matter of seconds or minutes the CCP owns all 20 consensus witness servers. Whether he allows Steem to exists as a block chain is doubtful, but the chain will effectively be dead whether it exists as a BTSF of a block chain once it is centralized. Again, Why does Justin Sun need a Steem Tron coin? He really doesn't.

Since Steem is open source, and supposing he truly wanted steem's technology, he is perfectly capable of running his own Steem chain. He is perfectly capable of running his own fork of steem. So why does he drag us through this? The Chinese do Value Steem as a coin, but they don't value free speech. He wants control over that which he has no right to control, so he is trying to take over. He deserves the proverbial foot in the a__-but probably shouldn't for reasons stated later.

BTFS is not the same as a block chain from what I am reading. Just another system that allows Justin Tron and by extension the CPP to delete whatever content they don't like. The users of steem for the most part moved here because they hate censorship on twitter, reddit, facebook, and elsewhere. We know the Chinese have been financing and controlling a good portion of the American communications industries and shutting down our speech-Since bitcoin and other cryptos are basically banned in China yet they are the top miners, I think we can speculate where the crypto is going and why certain big tech CEOs and companies have so much of it.

Tell your communist party pussies that we aren't interested in the CCP depriving us of logos (speech and reason; personhood) or our other rights. Don't expect to win us over by offering us a centralized platform with less features and more censorship than the tech giants. We balk and will walk at such a prospect, just as we balked and walked from Big tech.

Nor do we want our dapps deleted because Sun thinks it competes with his ideas, nor for our ideas to be deleted at the whim of a court injunction from anywhere that has a mad dictator on the bench. It's bad enough trying to kick the family court judges off the bench, We also don't want the mad dictatorship of the Chinese communist party controlling STEEM. The moment that speech and reason (logos; personhood) has ended, it should be without question that a controversy is ripe to transmute into a state of war to regain our humanity. How many a__es do we have to kick to be able to speech freely these days.

image.png

Nor do we want a theft by dilution through the new steem tron coins, nor do we want a sell off because of the air drop to tron. If Tron users wanted to participate in steem they would buy their own damn coins and use it. If we wanted to use tron coins, we ah...they are just as advertized but useless in my garden. We don't want Tron. Sure if Sun gave us 100 million tron I am sure we'd dump that s___ for bitcoin or USDT. We don't want to sit in the shadows of an inferior chain that no one wants to use, that no sane person would want to use, and that Mr. Sun readily abuses. If trons "decentralized" solution to everything is a centralized database, even the poorest of developers are better off to buy a $35 raspberry pi. It seems prima facie to be a fraudulent act to call tron an enabler of decentralized platforms or that it is capable of running dapps. You admit it yourself, it runs BTFS. A database that Sun/Tron ultimately controls. Nothing decentralized about it and something Sun can alter on a whim-Even if steemit remains on a steem chain he could still do the same when he replaces the consensus witnesses.

If Ned Scott promised Justin Sun something that he had no ability to offer, we'd support Justin Sun Suing/pressing criminal charges against Lame Duck/sell out Ned Scott to reclaim his property. If that wasn't the case, Tell Justin Sun to take his worthless steemit dapp and leave the steem chain for good. We'll use palnet or many other interfaces. It's not like it is complex writing a social network; especially one this small. The biggest obstacle is marketing and getting users. So far, all Justin Sun has offered us is a message to stay the h__ away. Why the hell should any of us invest in Steem at the point with Sun trying to take over. The Sooner Sun leaves the chain, the more stable the future is for the chain, and the better it is for everyone. So get Lost Justin. Target Ned if you don't get what Ned might have promised you, not us. If you want to be made whole for Ned's dealings, don't leave us on empty.

The private users of Steem developed the interface far better than all the millions of dollars and Steem you[steemit] pissed away over the years and obtained through fraudulent means (ninja mining). All those millions, and even your web APIs are broken for the basic necessities where developers have to find 3rd party work arounds. We don't need you and we don't want you. Be Gone, get lost, get the hell out of here. Stop wasting our time. You are a bunch of irresponsible sellouts and we are better off without you. I'd tell justice sun to go Fornicate himself with an iron stick, but since he lives in San Franscisco he'd probably enjoy it and he'd probably invite his daddy and big brother and call upon his ancestors to watch all kissy kissy.

So on that note, tell him to return to his childhood home and stay there a couple months. I think it would cure all of our problems, Have a 电晕啤酒病毒 on us.

Eli Powell, feel free to get a new Job. You are clearly not a developer. Tokenizing the web is crap. Even Justin Sun proved that point when he suggested a warrenbuffet coin. There are tens of thousands of erc-20 tokens, many more wave tokens, also have tron tokens, even SMT and steem-engine tokens and many more. Digital tokens existed decades before then. I would dare say that warcraft and runescape gold have more value than most crypto tokens-and they are database driven. So I fart in your general direction if you think the Steem Chain should join Tron's campaign of copy and paste what has been tested and failed tends of thousands of times. Its the classic definition of Insanity-as old as if not predating Sisyphus. @Aggroed already did that for the steem chain anyways on a side chain. So really you are moving the chain backwards if your goal is to play catch up to what independent developers have already done on steem.
The future is in DAPPS, that means things besides tokens and blogs. Things that independent developers of steem have already done on a voluntary basis. You and Justin Sun have been made obsolete by technologies showing the steemit team hasn't evolved in 4 years, and you are pissing away what Steem is capable of. Please, Go Away! Are there html files, images, pdf files on the steem chain? Absolutely. Just one change in a line of code, any anyone technically could store videos in a steem dapp. But do go on, please tell us how the future is tokens and CCP centralization. Just let me eat more [vegetarian] beans first.

I see developers aren't allowed-unless they are a top 50 witness. It is not about what can be done with steem, but purely about control of the chain. Something you should never be allowed to have. You are owned by tron and the CCP now, please go bye bye. You are a pawn of the enemy of the free people across the Globe. Don't let the door hit you in the butt of your way out; s___ splatters and we don't need the mess you guys leave behind.

yeah, I know I was trying to strike a few nerves by invoking chinese culture/taboos into the post. Squeaky wheel gets [heard], assuming they even care to read. Kissing in chinese culture is a taboo, apparently linked to cannibalism. No shortage of cannibalism in recent (last 100 years) of chinese history, but still it is taboo enough that Disney can't leave a kissing scene in a live action version of Mulan. https://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/films/1248190/Mulan-movie-kiss-Disney-China-censorship-coronavirus-Chinese-box-office

I also know the Chinese are good people in general; its the communist that can't be trusted. But Either China has gotten worse on human rights in the last 10 years, or more of it is being made public. Their social controls have also infiltrated the states in numerous ways to discourage or bankrupt speakers.

Witness System:

Dear First Amendment @firstamendment, Is a witness server owned by a particular witness?

Centralization vs Decentralization

If Tron were to create Steem accounts and get many Steem accounts to vote the Justin Sun accounts to be witnesses, then centralization would increase, assuming that is how Steem works.

How Steem Works

Last time I checked, I'm pretty sure that is how Steem works. So, it is a question of who the witnesses are. It is a question of the hardware, equipment, servers, computers, nodes, devices, etc, that witnesses own or use. Yes, remote access can be a problem.

Apple Backdoor

So, we can talk all day about backdoors. I should probably write about that more. But I really thought that Tron control over Steem would be limited to how many witnesses they had control over and things relating to that.

Democracy Republic

If Steem is mostly controlled by a consensus, by the majority, of the witnesses, and if witnesses are voted on by Steem accounts, then the vulnerability would be if Tron created too many bot accounts that would then vote for Tron controlled witnesses.

Bot Lives Matter

Just kidding about the bot lives matter. So, in conclusion, if it were to be possible, I would not allow bot accounts the ability to vote for witnesses. And I don't want to ban bots but I also want to be careful how the voting system works on Steem.

Thanks for the update!

I would like to address one issue and it's really simple, at least in my mind. Why Tron devs (or I can do it myself if you guys want it) are not creating a simple smart contract that will permit to people to use Steem VIA Tron, complementary as we do now with our Steem accounts. So the Steem blockchain could also handle transaction signed by the Tron wallets/users.

Technically we only need 1 and only 1 smart contract on Tron to be able to transact with the Steem ecosystem. And we only need a small change on Steem to accept those transactions!

From my opinion this is far the best option to keep those lovely chain as they are and permit interoperability between both of them. That will keep everything stable while giving an easy way to use/combine the Tron advantages with those of Steem.

This will not need any swap, any big change, only an a simple implementation in both side.

Edit : this option also give the possibility to have a dedicated TRC20/TRC10 for Steem on Tron. And basically we can give back the whole rewards for Tron users as SteemTron tokens or permit to users to swap their tokens at any time if they find it interesting.

This will work 100% and I can easily give more details if you are interested.

This would be the first time in history that two blockchains of this size will be connected to one another so that tokens can flow freely, and voluntarily, between the chains without the need for trusted intermediaries like exchanges.

This is how I imagined it should work as long as it's done properly.

So, Bitcoin connects to Ethereum, Litecoin, and what else via the atomic swaps? I didn't realize that but Bitcoin is a pioneer in being the first cryptocurrency as far as I know. So, if they're doing it, then perhaps Steem and Tron should do it and eventually Steem should connect to Bitcoin, right?

Welcome TRON to the Steem ecosystem.

Cross-Chain Atomic Swaps...

That sounds good. It doesnt exclude fuckery from Justins part but its a good step int he right direction.
Hopefully, everyone remembers that only by acting and "showing our teeth" did we manage to force Justin to flip his rhetoric on its head.

This is great progress! I think if the Steem and TRON community can find away to work together in a constructive way, there is a bright future ahead for us. We need to attract more and more users to Steemit and positive messages about the cooperation and the joined roadmap for sure will help us get there!

  • timeline for SMTs
  • burnup charts
  • weekly communication
  • explain what is Cross-Chain Atomic Swaps in detail but laymen terms
  • Explain role of Ned today
  • number of steemit incs core team members
  • how big is the Tron team you are communicating with
  • steem is the better chain with 3-second fee-less transactions and mass scalability, why would one who understands steem even consider bringing that on the weaker tron chain. Shows someone didn't even understand what he bought and publically announced on twitter.
  • how big are language barriers? English is not a very difficult language.
  • next steps
  • now that you seem to have enough funds, will the programmatic selling stop immediately?

It's nice to see that you are deciding for the community! Our community always hosted such meetings and invited Steemit inc. Now Justin comes and sets a date to meet him. We already did. Remember AMA

It is not a meeting, it's like Justin deciding where we should go and what we shall do. It's a damn decentralized blockchain and Steemit inc already received millions of dollars for being part of it.

No offense. I appreciate what Steemit developers did in the past 4 years. But now Justin decides what community wants. On day 1 he announced there will be a "token swap" without knowing what we want. Now I wonder who agreed on "Cross-Chain Atomic Swaps"?

If you want to work together with the community, it's not the proper way.

Cross-chain swap without abusable big storage wallets sounds great but if these exchange accounts are eliminated I expect that there will be some kind of accounting ON STEEM CHAIN ensuring that Tron chain can't return more STEEM to Steem chain than how much has been transferred to Tron chain

Cross-Chain Atomic Swaps sounds like the type of win-win, the main direction in the cooperation is to continue develop steem as a independent blockchain, we have a lot of coins in crypto market and most of them we can only hold and transfer, but the steem is more powerful and functional blockchain.

I don't think the STEEM community is interested by atomic swaps, which means more development time. We already waited for SMTs for literally years, and still waiting.

I think the STEEM technology is already amazing by itself, even if you cannot do smart contracts in it like TRON, it covers the largest use-case of web-apps (think facebook, youtube, games, etc). Developers can start working on a steem app without having to learn a new language (solidity), they can interact with the STEEM chain in any commonly used language (javascript, python, etc).

STEEM has a falling userbase and problems with user retention or onboarding. See this post for factual data: https://steemit.com/steem/@dalz/how-many-active-users-accounts-the-steem-blockchain-actually-has

And that's the #1 issue for STEEM right now. STEEM needs more users, and more marketing leverage.

A good win-win first-step solution for me would be to offer free TRON accounts to steemians who have enough Steem Power. And vice versa, offer free STEEM accounts to Tron accounts if they have enough TRX staked. Let the people discover the advantages of both networks before forcing anything upon them.

how about

show me a true demo of what blockchain can achieve and

maybe

someone will get interested

scambagging is easy

demo is hard

certainly made the crowd move

mister Robot was never in it for the money but you certainly made the crowd move

WHAT IF

you had someone who doesnt need the money and someone who doesnt care

?

imagine the options

i would simply take the open-source

and spend another billion at this stage

it certainly is a great concept

Can someone please make @justinsunsteemit aware that Steem does have abuse issues? Unless some big accounts help out by flagging and/or delegating to those who do then it is likely to get much worse if we have an influx of new users. A few whales could cancel out all the paid votes and make for more organic rewards distribution. Efforts like @steemcleaners and @steemflagrewards can only do so much. We have a load of volunteers in vigilante roles for little in the way of rewards. I expect most users do not use their free downvotes for whatever reasons.

Let's make Steem great!

The dream is still alive for some of us. I don't see much in the way of alternatives that offer what Steem has with the same potential. It's a shame you didn't cash out when your Steem could be worth $100k. I didn't then and won't now. Just buying a little more in fact.

Have fun.

There's lots of opinions on what is considered legitimate on Steem, but I am generally against buying votes for profit. I can find plenty of examples. I downvote them, but I also support lots of people who I think add value. I'm doing this for fun rather than short-term profit. If Steem takes off then I'll do okay.

My question would be concerning how that doesn't make Steem Tron one blockchain via the Cross-Chain Atomic Swaps.

I guess the answer to that question might be personified in train track switches that allow for trains to go from line of track to another set of tracks. I'm going to try to remain open minded. But at the same time, I'm partly concerned and also curious concerning how Tron and Steem can connect and yet remain separate at the same time. I will try to keep my mind open to understanding some of these things. I should probably write some articles exploring some of these things in the future.

Im new here but ithink the basics are clear enough. We still don't know exactly whats gonna happen, and until we have a solid idea, we need to maintain face.

There are several scenarios that might occur, and i think the absolute worst case is a complete overhaul of the Steem blockchain. Thats gonna be messy and expensive.

I think at the end of the day, those of us who love Steemit wanna keep using it like we do without danger of significant disruption.

So, the question those top 50 witnesses need to ask Justin is, how the hell can we meet whatever vision you have for Steemit while still preserving what the people love about it?

Compromise is the name of the game here.

This might be one of the greatest revolutions for the new economy and will mark an important transition for blockchain history, that will be remembered by many in the years to come. Decentralization for economics through the most valuably exchanged resource paves ways for new marketplaces and DAO's to be build on the most communal d-layer and potentially that engaging, evolving blockchain with scope for expansion, penetrating into the next era of history. I believe that we will build the computing resources for DAO's of the future and will inevitably grow as the most raw and affordable next internet if we all believe in the same values. These values can be means to a common goal. Amitabha!

The moment that ned sold off the Steemit stake (what @aggroed [noted as the Neo Green stake), Steemit became a centralized platform.

ned promised to use that stake to protect the community premise of decentralization. that promise was desintegrated in the moment of sale.

and steemit will remain a centralized platform until that stake no longer exists
