RE: Redirecting all Steem posts to Hive: it's done!

[novacadian]

But what if HIVE goes to dust (that's one level under shitcoin) when all the HIVErs finish thier STEEM power downs which have been putting upward pressure on HIVE's price or the kiddie perverts of the dark web start using my Doomsday Browser Extension and no HIVE witnesses would dare the potential legal ramifications of housing the HIVE blockchain on their server. Then you may be happy to have a backup of all your old content on STEEM. Just sayin. 😎

Uh... You know the content is still on whichever blockchain survives, right? Just chose one blockchain to actually show it on its frontends. Plus I hold offline copies of my blockchain data. Cheers!

Its hard for me to understand how it can be on both blockchains yet only displayed on one. No matter, so long as you are confident that is the case.

Well, in short, an edited post on a Steem frontend doesn't scrub my content from the Steem blockchain as these blocks were already signed and stored on witness servers running the agreed version of the Steem chain.

For example:

• Removed my content from https://steempeak.com/life/@soyrosa/doggie-a-short-story
• But that URL posted in this tool that helps us dig up info from the blockchain shows the full post including each and every edit I made after the first post
• Then there's also other tools like the block explorers we can use to find all this data because all of it is still there.

Until the last witness turns off their node our content will 'live' on Steem/Hive blockchains, even if we remove the content from their frontends which is only a method to display the blockchain data in the end.

EDIT: Ah, Scribe was actually already moved to work for the Hive blockchain I realize now, but the idea remains the same :-)
