I have just updated https://www.steemfiles.com . The Market is an insane asylum and the whales are patients. Look at Steem go up as it proves to be less reliable than Paypal.

Yes and no.

Do you know what Open Source is? And what a fork is in the Open Source world? And why anything would fork? Most importantly, why it's possible to fork something with Open Source...

Yes and yes. I am in the Google contributors data. Some code I contributed is included in all Ubuntu disks. I didn't contribute a lot of open source code, but I do write my own code almost exclusively Open Source as well.

Forking was frowned upon before Github. It's not something you do willy-nilly. Still it's the ultimate security mechanism. If something doesn't work any more the way you need it to be, you can fork it and maintain it the way it used to be. That happened with HIVE. We rely on a specific way of functioning that with Justin Sun has gone. So you can disagree with the reasoning, but for all means and purposes, this fork is fully justified.

You are right that forking a blockchain and forking a repo are different, but they happen for the same reason: in case of disagreement with the direction of a project to make sure that what you RELY ON still is there. That was the reason for BCH, that is the reason for HIVE, that was the reason with LibreOffice, all of those which I have watched develop from the start, all of them fully justified. Yes, they get some slack for doing it, but you can see with the amount of support they get that they fill a need.

So yes, that's why it's possible to fork something, and yes, even though the effect seems very dramatic, it's very necessary too.

🤔 I think you may should be carefully with what you say that emotionally, I would say carefully. I know its a very dramatic situation ands it is difficult for us all. But Hive IS NOT the same as Steem! And pls be careful saying hive user has an average IQ of whatever.

The thoughts about Steem has cartel like structures is an old story and now the time has come for hardforks. There are good reasons for that. I dont want to blame you, but please be carefull shitting on 'all' Hive Users. Hive Network IS NOT SAME as steemit Network. Well, the technology and codebase... Ok, but not the ecosystem itself. Its different...😉

I can image why you angry. But then stop shitting and pissing here in that ecosysten and move away to 'your own better one'....

Well I would absolutly aggree that the governance over here might have other lacks.. Might be, I am not the one who has the big overview.

But I notice a long time ago, that steem has cartel structures. And at the beginning most people were not sure. But dude, Dictatorship is better? Come on, I would not say so. Absolut free space might have the 'bug' of pirating. But if so, I think free space is better then dictator ship. But well, we both can have two different opinions. Thats ok, no, thats great.

Lets remember the steemit (and hive) whitepaper. Do you member it says, the governance is democracy hybrid holacracy? So steem itself is not fallowing its OWN whitepaper... Mhhh 🤔, strange, isnt it?

If hive is that free space and it may be not THE solution of governance, its more fallowing the whitepaper then steem does! Think about it.

I can understand your skepticism. But pls stop offend over here and lets try to find THE REAL Solution! 😉

This is called politics, my friend.

Now if you ask, was the coin wipe necessary? YES, it was, because otherwise the fork would have the same 51% vulnerability. There was NO other way to solve this.

Does this mean that Steem was vulnerable to this in the first place? Yep, it was, and many people were aware. The change of leadership in Steemit Inc made it easier to understand the need for people, it didn't create the need.

Officially tested IQ of 130 here, thank you very much. Maybe you should test yours.

I don't think you have any proof of your idea that the average in the community would be 80, it seems very improbable to me. Even if that were the case, it doesn't in itself proof or disproof any statement. It shows a lot that you answer to this reply and not the 51% attack one...

I just want to point out that you are using Hive right now. :)

No but its not coz we say its not even though you can see all your posts from steem its not steem your balances are the same but not steem.
Everything is steem but its not steem so get your facts right or wrong or whatever your told🤦‍♂️

English obviouly aint your first language as you dont understand the concept of sarcasm never mind my talents are wasted on you people.
Also the english is slang. Thats how 90% of england talks not like 1970's sitcoms

Maybe it did or maybe you didnt get it.
Either way that is fine. Unlike your piers i wont censor you for disagreeing with it lmao
