• The conversation resumed on Friday the 18th, with @timcliff's comment of "Is someone able to clarify which account(s) Steemit, Inc". The entire rest of the log is from the 18th.

Ok thanks, that helps with context.

[therealwolf]

For context: putting pressure regarding the power down.

[jesta]

Good addition to context.

I'd also like to add that this conversation/channel is only a small fraction of the discussions that were going on at the time, conversations that add a LOT more context to everything.

[spectrumecons]

So all these conversations started after the power down started?

To clarify, were there conversations of similiar nature made prior to the ones above?

[jesta]

The conversations started 2 days before the power down, as a "what if" with literally no commitment from anyone.

The discussion about "how" (implementation), mentions of negotiations, and "pressure" occurred after the power down began.
