I stopped voting for witnesses after the chain split when Justin Sun took over. It turns out HIVE made a private rule that if you voted for an account that supported Justin Sun, that your Steem balance wouldn't carry over to HIVE. And this excluded a lot of well-meaning people's stake from carrying over to HIVE. For example, I changed my vote just in time. I had voted for a witness who claimed to be against downvotes, and after some digging, I realized that they were voting for prominent downvoters. That's why I removed my witness from them. But unbeknownst to me, they supported some of Justin Sun's sock puppets towards the end there. So I unvoted them for my reason, but not the "right reason," and had I not done so, my stake would not have carried over to HIVE. All that said, if they are going to punish people based on who they voted for, I will not vote a witness at all. With my low amount of stake, this is less significant than if I were a prominent stakeholder. As far as steemcleaners, spaminator, cheetah, and hivewatchers are concerned: I see that some cases they pursue are legit, but they also have to tighten up against some of the blatant abuse that their accounts carry out.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
If an account was not copied from Steem to Hive, said account could try to transfer the money to a new account on Hive via a third party. So, for those who had their accounts copied, carried over, or forked in other words, they are in a way getting double the money which is kind of like inflation and not technically inflation. But I am not sure my thoughts on it. I like the extra money but at the same time don't like diluting the value money can have.
I feel ya man, it's all kinda fucky
right? Welcome to crypto!
great points
i guess if they can scare any of their opponents away from voting at all, they've already won
You've got my attention, I'll have to think
on that some. This also has my attention.
