They are changing the power down time to 1-3 days to allow their exchange buddies to free up customers' STEEM they powered up.

Might not be a bad time to exit.

Very interesting. I was wondering how these exchanges would meet customer redemptions (withdrawing Steem).
This is another major change not agreed by the community.

And there's your answer.

The STINC stake is more than enough to keep the top witnesses.

They just needed their exchange buddies to undo the soft fork to unfreeze STINC.

Should we fork like Weku?

Well, I'm guessing that Smoke, Bear Shares, Dream Real, Weku like you said, @baah, and Serey, are all not forks of Steem and are simply like copies or clones as you put it. My definition of fork would include clones. But strictly speaking, they didn't literally fork like Bitcoin Cash literally forked and split from BTC Bitcoin. Therefore, I guess there has been no Steem forks yet. I remember when Bitcoin forked one time and in one of the exchanges, I think Bittrex, I saw my Bitcoin split so that I would have say 0.005 Bitcoin and 0.005 Bitcoin Cash or whatever it was during the split into Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold and I don't remember how many times.

But if Steem were to really split and fork like Bitcoin, I wonder if crypto exchanges would split and give clients Steem and New Steem or Old Steem in the same way they did when Bitcoin would split.

How to fork? where to discuss? Not here?
