An Update...

in #steemit5 years ago

I feel I owe it to the community to inform you all that earlier this afternoon I tendered my resignation to Steemit. I am currently exhausted and want to take some time to rest before I say anything further.

Sort:  

I'm ready to vote anytime!

Yes, we could but let us deal with the decentralization issue first.

Can't they just throw SPS out of the box considering witnesses can change the core code of blockchain?

Feeling depressed on the hostile takeover news.

Or Justin could just vote the return proposal to the top. SPS is held hostage same as the witness spots...

Exactly my concern... Make no mistake, steemit.com is now a centralized platform.

If they want to they could have voted on their own "proposals"

Waiting to see how the #STEEM community as a whole reacts to this development...

@sankysanket18 : Waiting to see how the #STEEM community as a whole reacts to this development...

Most likely with a hard-fork, creating 2 chains (let's call them SteemItTron & SteemClassic).

One of them will have the dApps, the community(ies), the best front ends, and hopefully the 4 StInc folks who've resigned so far.

The other one will have Justin Sun and the "steemit.com" URL.

As if Tron won't vote there too if this happens. 0 logic.

Thank you for all the work you've done Michael. The amount of effort you've put into this blockchain has not gone unnoticed. You were instrumental to this community.
I really hope to see you around -- there's so many cool things we can all build and do together.
But take a break for now. I'm sure you need it.

Now you make me cry. Bastard. 🤣

I found it fitting....

My respect to you!

Thankyou for everything you've done for this chain. I'm sorry things turned out the way they did. I'm sure your talents will be appreciated elsewhere

Take all the time you need to get some rest, you certainly deserve it!!
But when you're recovered, please take into account this might not be the end, but rather a crossroads. There's a lot of work ahead and your knowledge and skills will be invaluable.

The original steem chain will support you 100% whatever the name of it will be. Exciting times are ahead of us and we will be stronger than ever sooner than expected!

Does that mean we are forking like Weku did?

You're far too good for Steem, as it is now. Thank you for the work you put into it before Ned sold it off to the worst buyer he could find for the lowest price.

I genuinely wish you the best. Sounded like Dan Larimer wanted to hire you, if you're interested in another shit show!

No wonder...
Relevant people starting to leave is not a good sign. I hope you can still be involved somehow in whatever will emerge of this mess. Your skills and insights are highly appreciated.
