RE: About soft fork 0.22.888 applied on the STEEM blockchain

in #steem4 years ago

As others have noted, it is pretty amusing to see the operation which started this whole mess on the Steem blockchain being turned around and used against the original implementers. Is it a good idea? Is it a reasonable idea?

Oh God no.

Was it an inevitable consequence?

I have often said, "don't forge a weapon that you never want used against you – because it will be." This is just a straightforward manifestation of that statement.

Expect to see more of this on both sides now that it has been rolled out to the battlefield. Along with constant reassurances that "it's only targeting the bad people; you're absolutely safe." But the list of "bad people" will continuously increase in the number of things that "bad people" just can't do will likewise continuously increase.

All a procedural inevitability.
