RE: Hive is a fork, NOT an airdrop

in #hive4 years ago

Man, again, wrong at the foundation level:

  1. "All Steem owners owned Hive, no, they literally didn't. If I were to make a fork of Hive right now, call it SpencerChain with SpencerCoin, nobody is entitled to SpencerCoin. You can't sue me for it, you can't demand it, it's literally just not yours. You did nothing to earn SpencerCoin. That is fundamentally in the nature of open-source software that the Steem blockchain is. Perhaps that's what you're not understaning? Licences? I don't know, maybe you're just not used to the OSS scene, but if you were you'd understand the freedom that comes with forking a product & making it your own little thing.

  2. "Rename is exactly what happened", well, that and some minor code changes. For instance, Hive added the 30 day "cooldown" between powering up & voting for witnesses. That's something Steem doesn't have, so already you're wrong in stating it's 100% the same code. Don't tell me to "check the code" if you haven't yourself.

  3. "There is no new token", I don't know how to respond to this delusion. HIVE =/= STEEM. You must be trolling me if you actually don't believe that. Different tokens, different listings, different pairings, different communities, even different economics when you focus on the macro scale.

You are so micro focused on one sliver from here, and a misunderstood sliver from there, that you refuse to let yourself see the big picture. It's like you're trying really hard to play devil's advocate that your intentionally being obtuse.
