Well today is the day when we see if all the hard work has been worthwhile or whether the whole thing was a big mistake.
It is hoped that this hard-fork will shake out people that are not committed to the long term goals of the platform. Spammers and plagiarists will no doubt still be on the steem blockchain after hard fork 20 but it may be more financially difficult for them to make those 1000's of personal upvote bots. It may be easier? Who knows?
Back to business. I see Dlive is jumping onto a new blockchain entirely? That makes no sense whatsoever in my mind. SMT's would have been the way to go. Goodbye Dlive.
Hard fork 20 should make things a lot easier for new members joining steemit as we all know they (under 30's) are basically incapable of doing anything for themselves and need everything handing to them on a plate?
Finally on this momentous day here is my #treetuesday image for @old-guy-photos
I'm going to go out and get some photos while this transition takes place.
See you on the other side. :-)
DLive is Ddead... will be posting on Steemit to get followers.

I think you may be right
Just like ONO ... trying to start a new thing like Steemit then using Steemit to get new subscribers.

Nothing is ever good as Steemit ... none that I have tried so far... they are all Steemit wannabes

Good bye and good riddence Dlive!
Let's hope this hf is a good change. Have you signed up at weku.io? If not I have a code. It is totally a clone of Steemit but with a slider. Wonder what you think about it
Yeah seems like a really dumb move on Dlives part. What were they thinking? Haven't heard of weku before? I'll take a look but Busy has the slider already and the interface is simple to use. I suppose weku could be handy as a backup?
Noo, different blockchain, but looks exactly like Steemit.
Works nice!

O, I see. Lets take a look. :-)
Nine minutes to go. How exciting lol
See you on the other side!
Yep see you there Mel
Wow... no one under 30 is capable of doing things for themself?
Why the question mark? Everyone knows you cannot beat a good stereotype if you want to say anything remotely interesting?
See you on the other side @molometer
May the STEEM be with you ;-)
Looks like I'm back fro the digital abyss lol
Lol, I'm back too :-)
But I now lost ~60% voting power. An hour ago I had 100%
So I have to pause my upvotes for some days
Hey Kevin, good to see you made it through the maelstrom lol
Yeah I noticed that too as I just upvoted a comment at 100% and it came out at $0.03 where it should be $0.12 and my voting power is now reading 21.53% It was 100% before that one vote. Apparently it should all settle down within the next few hours and our vote power will recover faster than normal.
I'm pretty knackered too. But it seems that we have survived it so far :-D
I hope so, but I will count with the normal time, just to be safe. And hopefully, in a few days or maybe hours (I hope this), it can go on as usual. I think even after this hard fork disaster, it's important to just move on now. Even if we don't get upvotes for a few days now.
Looks like it is fubar but things will settle down eventually? lol
Yes, slowly but surely it's calming down. Unfortunately it will take a few days until the vp is completely restored.
