A number of people that ended up on the airdrop blacklist ended up there by mistake. Mistakes do happen.
They might have voted via proxy they didnt pay attention to, by not knowing what exactly they were voting for or because of a mistake in the code (Blocktrades mentioned in a interview that they are aware there was at least 1).
If you are one of those folks and are interested in posting to HIVE, comment below and ill look into your case.
Ill delegate a 100 HP (which should be enough for your every day operations) until the second airdrop happens.
This does not apply to people like @steemchiller that hold totalitarian values and openly admit it. Knowing what you were doing does not constitute a mistake.
EDIT: @joshman will add a 100 more HP.
Hey @lordbutterfly and @joshman I myself got excluded from the airdrop (I've written an article about it in case you're interested: https://peakd.com/hive/@foreveraverage/the-hive-exclude-list-and-me-being-on-it but don't feel obligated to read it).
While I love your initiative, it's maybe not that bad for the people that got excluded from the first airdrop to keep calm and wait until the proposal system is in place, taken everything into account it's quite a fair way of handling the situation. plus I think some people might actually hurt their "case" by writing too hasty/emotionally now, but that's just a personal opinion.
That being said, if there are some people out there that didn't had any bad intention and haven't got any HP to work with now I applaud the initiative from both of you. But if no one comes to asks for a delegation know that reaching out, is by itself, a great gesture
Ive looked into your post and your comment history. From what i can see, your story checks out.
Unlike the top commenter on your post i do think that not understanding the situation or not paying attention to all he happenings due to your irl obligations or simple disinterest (which is fine) does excuse you from the list.
"Intent" is important word here.
I havent in any of your comments seen any support or any comment (unless you have another acount) even related to all this drama.
You get a pass from me and a 100 HP
If you run in any more folks like you point them our way.
Delegated from my wife's account.
Thanks a lot @lordbutterfly if I pass by anyone I'll gladly redirect them to this topic (though you really shouldn't have, it is fun if I'm able to award enjoyable content a bit more)
Intent is in my opinion the most important parameter as well, it's nothing but normal that people seek knowledge and possibilities in the extend of their personal interests and try to add value there. Though how people communicate, handle the situation and so is not neglectable ( Not many of us would stop to help someone with a flat tire, if that person 5 minutes prior to that flipped you off going way over the speed limit )
It's all by all such a difficult situation by the mere fact that nothing like what happened here has ever happened before in block chain's history (miners revolving, yeah, but an entire user base?!). It's hard to say whose right or wrong, and which arguments hold sense and which not at the time. I can understand that in that regard people react a bit more emotional and edgy, but that's not an excuse to throw away all human decency. It pulls away the attention of the facts that matter, making it personal or pulling attention away from the matter is just a proof that it is not about seeking the truth only about "winning" the argument and last never forget that's a human being at the other side of the screen.
So I guess that is the biggest reason why I think it's maybe not bad for the ones that got excluded to hold a bit back for now. Some that might have legitimate reasons to be included in the next airdrop might make their case harder by provoking others acting like nothing has ever happened or making content all mad about the matter.
Anyway that all being said (I'm sorry if it feels like I'm recycling the same things), not thinking about the whole matter of the exclude list and looking at everything from a distance we should all enjoy block chain history being made here. It's a super interesting case that might pave the way for a whole lot of new things to come. Whether you're for or against what happened, no one can deny the case is super interesting
Im sure we will hear all these arguments during the second airdrop so its good point out some of them.
Anyways... im sure youll receive your airdrop fine. gl. ;)
Looks like you have a lot of people vouching for you. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Cheers
Thanks @joshman, really appreciate it
Greetings @lordbutterfly and @joshman, I was included in the exclusion list by mistake, I have worked for 2 years with the scientific community #SteemSTEM now #HiveSTEM and #STEM-espanol from @lemouth, @Mobbs and @carloserp-2000, from whom in this unfortunate situation I have received support, however, I would like to receive your delegation until the next Airdrop.
I have the STEEM account in Power Down, however, at the time of the launch of HIVE I had 2,302 STEEM.
I want to make it clear that I did not vote for Justin, I completed 30 votes by mistake, I had my 22 votes for the top community leaders and witnesses, when I completed the first 30 I made the mistake.
In this time, I have been creating content related to Agricultural Botany, I have always supported the work of the community, essentially @SteemSTEM and @Cervantes, and when I was informed I withdrew the votes that were listed belong to Justin's accounts.
At this link, I made a comment on my position: https://hive.blog/hive/@lupafilotaxia/q7jubg
Ive checked your situation and like in the case with @foereveraverage you made a understandable mistake. Peer pressure to vote can push people that might not follow the daily politics to make a mistake. Its completely understandable.
After looking into your comment history, translating some, i didnt find anything that would suggest that you were supporting Justin in any way. You pass my check and if nothing changes ill be supporting you during the second airdrop.
My mana is low so you will receive the 100HP from the account @silentscreamer. @joshman will do his own check for another 100HP.
This ofc is just my assessment and if someone sees something i have not, its subject to change.
Done
Good day!
Thank you so much for this initiative. I finally got back from a vacation. I was surprised that I was in the list which had the criteria of
-"Accounts excluded who voted a minimum of two sockpuppets or proxied someone who voted a minimum of two and who didn't unvote before the hive announcement with more than 1k sp"
This got me puzzled because I proxied @theycallmedan last March 3 and never changed it. I'll start writing again soon, once I'm not busy.
Thank you so much again!
Seems to check out. ;)
You will be delegated from the account @silentscreamer.
@joshman... 1 more. :)
Done!
Thank you so much @lordbutterfly, @joshman and @silentscreamer. May you guys continue to blessed all throughout your lives!
I'll match that.
I'm intrigued to see who comes up to take your offer.
There are a few i know of. Didnt remember their names but theres at least 3-4 i know exist.
Dear @lordbutterfly that's good you've put this place. I can imagine some sheeple in the previous steem world had no idea and simple mistake voted in the wrong witnesses as Justin puppets reached the top20 list.
Let's take my account for example. Created in 2016 on and off the chain for many year's but returned when Justin purchased the chain. And for the record, I returned and he's news appeared. Because I was familiar with some prehistoric witness usernames from the past I could see something was not right and Justin rustled up the wrong feathers in this community.
Can you explain the nitty rewards with a user delegated 100hp to a brand new user with 0 hp and who is starting new on the chain? I'm currently on-boarding some new friends here and they are first-time hive users. I don't have much to delegate myself so I'm wondering will these new users be okay? I mean if they are writing content that is liked in the community then this shouldn't be an issue correct?
This was intended to be specifically catered towards those that got left out due to a mistake from the airdrop to get them going until the second airdrop happens and they receive their HIVE.
These would be my personal funds delegated to them.
In case you have a few friends that are starting up what i think would be a good idea is to approach mods of some communities on HIVE that would suit your friends based on topics covered. (communities are a new feature added a few weeks ago)
The community admins would, im sure, be more then willing to delegate some HP to active creators.
Maaaan I got in a convo with one of his supporters, didn't end well to be honest. I try not to make enemies but srsly wtf.
... when i read the comment he made last:
I knew he was a lost cause. Censoring anyone is BAD for steem.
These totalitarian ideals are a sickness, they disgust me more then anything in crypto.
Second airdrop? When does that take place?
Not exactly sure but there will most definitely be one for those that were left out. There will be an appeal process and the community will make the call as to who gets the airdrop.
Hi @lordbutterfly, your post has been manually chosen by Hive Supporter and upvoted with 100%.
Keep up the good work and you'll have a lot of success here on Hive for sure. To find out more about the Hive Supporter project check out this post.
Count me in.
Sorry to hear about those set of people
It sometimes happens. Code doesnt count in human error. Thats why we as a community can set a wrong right.
i will delegate my penis
I think those are called "strap-ons". 😂
Arent you gonna edit your post to include that too? :(
Lucky name's await
