RE: Lucky devs can’t be sued
Ok, fair enough. But even with 25SP, I never had problems...so you’re fixing a problem that didn’t exist. How many accounts have 5 SP...like, cummon?!
Even the devs admit that they screwed the pooch...took 3 revisions...20.3, no? This was a debacle and if you defend it, you’re being dishonest.
Every new person that joins has 15 or less SP (now, they'll have less when the bandwidth issues are resolved during the week; accounts will be created with maybe as much as 0-3 SP). Now you may even be able to post with almost no SP, which was not possible before HF20 (not yet, though, mana/RC/stuff problems are still being resolved).
And yeah, the devs screwed up. Gotta sue them for being human and making mistakes and oversights. To be fair, the Steemit team has always tested on production. People complain about it but now it's the standard for what they do and it's what we can realistically expect from them.
Sorry, when it comes to millions or billions of other people’s money...”human” is far from acceptable and you know it.

Witnesses are not your employees. They are elected representatives that people vote on. If things collapse and fail because of witnesses' incompetence, those who voted for them are to blame. Steemit devs made lots of mistakes, true, but they are not your employees either. They are working for their own interests and it's up to the elected representatives to pass and install each fork and update.
This was not the fault of one or two people, or that of an organisation. It was the fault of everyone who contributed to the status quo.
Okay, that’s fine. We don’t need to play the blame game. The fact remains, nothing like this can happen again...if it does, Steem is toast!!!!
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice and I’m hauling your ass to civil court with a well-justified class-action lawsuit.
That would be fun if I were a witness. Someone trying to come to Venezuela to drag me to an American court. :3 There are plenty of witnesses and developers all around the world. Whom would you sue?
Kinda my point.
