In the back of my mind, felt like using Steem-Engine for @steemflagrewards token would be a mistake. Fortunately, I did not choose to pay for a tribe thingy. We do however have token balances that will need to be carried over which is a bit of an asspain.
Guess the thing that made it somewhat shiny and agreeable to me was the internal markets that are available but, being that our token was essentially a utility token for votes, it was basically a moot point in the long run.
Anyways, have my own thoughts about aggroed for probably different reason but think it's safe to say we are on the same page here. Not using any hive engine service in the future. Can easily do the same w a sqlite db and not have to pay anyone a damn thing.
