Fellow Steemians,
it seems quite a lot has happened over the night and I'm getting updated as fast as possible.
Most notably, quite a lot of people have been voting for witnesses over the past couple of hours, which is amazing as the difference between Steemit Inc's stake & the community is shrinking! And that's exactly what we need right now.
I also noticed that a lot of people voted & un-voted my witness. I'm guessing the unvotes happened due to my witness being disabled over the night.
Rest assured, I was simply replaying my witness node (technical term for updating) and I'm back again.
Most importantly: I'm running the pre-soft fork version (0.22.1), but with a little twist => version number as 0.22.333. Most other witnesses seem to run the same, just with the version number 0.22.4444.
Now, I made the decision not to use the number 4444 (instead opted for 333), as I'm familiar with the asian culture and about the meaning of numbers there, notably 4 - often referring to "death". And I don't think our cultural background should have anything to do with the current situation.
With this said: if you want to vote for me again; the easiest way would be through my website:
https://therealwolf.me/vote
Last but not least, it seems that the most important people at Steemit Inc gave their resignation. (@vandeberg, @andrarchy, @gerbino) (not sure about @roadscape)
On the one hand, I'm proud of their courage, but it does make me quite angry towards @ned and his careless action of selling the company.
At this point, it seems that many cards are on the table, but most importantly: the community is standing strong.
Personally, I would still like to see a future where Tron and Steem can both benefit, but I guess we have to see what the reality is.
Finally, I'm very grateful for many Steemians being active on Twitter and while all of this is disturbing to witness, it is cool to see that Steem seems to be everywhere in crypto-twitter. (Vitalik & co. tweeting).
With that said: Steem on!
PS: Follow me on twitter => https://twitter.com/therealwolf42
I assumed you had rage quit but i am glad it is not the case, if we all vote for the top 20 witnesses again we stand a chance, unless the dirty deed has been done.
Rage quit? Me? I got a bit of rage extra, but I'm not quitting.
as I've said before in other replies.. it was ironic to follow twitter to keep up to date on steem developments..
yours was quite helpful..
The fact that Steemians are much more active on twitter now than previously, is a reason why we're gaining more eye-balls. So it's actually really good to be active on other social media, outside of Steem.
Was nice to see Yaba and RoelandP up top when I last checked. Will stay optimistic and keep following the developments. Shame about the Stinc team members.
How can we trust this twat after what he has done. I un-voted you last night as I saw your node down and for no other reason. I'm powering down like many are.
The meeting between him and the old STEEM witnesses, can you image the talks?
So long as he controls all this, it can never be the same. I'm guessing you really unhooked last night due to anger and I cant blame you.
There are reasons for and against. Personally, I'm not powering down, besides a small amount.
No, it was my automatic failover script kicking in that disabled my witness. :)
In support of the decision going back to pre soft fork 22.2, I think what we need now is de-escalation and find a solution with Steemit Inc, so that they can remove the votes as quickly as possible. In the long run we need more decentralization and Steemit Inc's stake will probably continue to shrink over the next months anyway. We have come a long way already.
That aint happening.
Great I will vote u back in when I get back from the school run
Now that's the kind of normality we need right now :-)
Thank you for not going the 4 bullshit.
Is there a list of which witness to vote for? I have 21 votes left?
Anyone from 21 up!
be careful, there are still some of justins accounts in the top 20....
his accounts are the red names
Thanks for not using the 4444s not that it meant anything to me until i started reading it here :)
Yes; this is a big point. Its insulting to 1/3 of the worlds population and lots of them use steem and have nothing to do with the hostile takeover.
yep. Doing a bit of research on the number 4444 i'm going with it as the angel number 4444. representing hard work, productivity, responsibility, and progress. :)
sad though if someone purposely put it in to fk with people
Keep it going wolf - we are all in this together!
If interested, here is my point of view on the whole situation:
https://steemit.com/steem/@roomservice/it-seems-that-binance-and-huobi-got-exploited-by-justin-sun-in-recent-events
Please help me wolf, the buildawhale has given me the mark of the beast 😭
I just noticed a few minutes ago that Ned has protected and hidden his Twitter account. Dan is supportive of the "hackers" 😏
Shocking but scum do hide.
I agree, Steem has a strong Asian community, we shouldn't disconsider their beliefs and the cultural differences and drive them into the arms of Justin Sun.
Welcome Back
Done! I wrote a post to support witnesses work and invite others to to do the same. WE can’t give up without a fight!!!!
"I would still like to see a future where Tron and Steem can both benefi."
You think there is a possiblity for us to continue on with "partnership"? I don't think that's the case. Their intentions are now clear and cooperating with them would be just naive.
Something changed about meeting justin on 6th of march?
Partnership doesn't mean naive friendship. I wouldn't rule out the possibility of having Steem Classic AND a Steem/Tron Partnership. But IMO, this is really just a power play. Sun wants to see how far he can go and so far, the community is not impressed, nor ok with it.
In case we take control over the blockchain do you think there should be readjustmets to current governance model? It looks like DPOS failed in practice. It beyond unethical, but the system should be set that way where such things simply cannot happen. Or i'm wrong?
We are really an great community. We have saved our home steem home.
Justin made some drama and he thought he could beat the community in steem. He doesn't know how the communities work here. I was discouraging but I trust the communities here. So, the steeming will keep on going..
@therealwolf I saw your witness node was disabled yesterday so I put my vote elsewhere on one that was enabled. Now I know though. I set my proxy to @blocktrades. Any thoughts on that one way or another?
I didn't know if my proxy is also reset.
You are so full of shit !
Copy Paste from your previous whiny ass crybaby post
You concluded by saying you were shutting down your dapps.. Now you're claiming an update is why you dropped your witness which whether true or not is a moot point as your services in that department are superfluous..
Of course you're not powering all the way down that's not testament to anything but not being a complete idiot. The gravy train has stopped and it's not coming back in to pick up you and your ilk.. Stop with the politician act and go get a fucking job..
Keep up the good work 👍🏾 🍻 !BEER !trdo

Absolute respect to the you for the requests for calm and an end to the cultural nastiness . People can battle for what they believe with respect and humility .
Best wishes Wolfie and I hope you continue to work hard and follow your own personal path.
Thank you also for all your hard work .
Thanks for the update. I am optimistic that things will be resolved soon. You remain my fav witness. Cheers!
Still 100% behind ya! A BIG THANK YOU for the hours spent helping the cause :-)
Keep going!
I don't agree with this, necessarily. It is his decision to sell, that's fine. Its what he has been saying since that I really don't appreciate. Including his comments in this article https://cryptobriefing.com/tron-executes-hostile-takeover-steem-exchanges-collude/
"literally" ... really? Come on @ned, you know better. DO BETTER
Yup, glad everyone is Finally using Twitter!

Sun bought steemit, not the block chain. I know there have been some groups, other front ends that would have liked to been able to get updates to the steem software API or what ever runs the chain, a chain wide system needs to be in place for how teams like steempeak dev team get to present their code/upgrade changes to the witnesses for consideration of adoption.
I am not a developer so the terms may be wrong that I used, I do know steempeak has been asking their user what changes they would like to see. I am sure that other front ends or development teams have been seeking out user needs wants and desires also. I do understand that Hard Forks should be kept to a minimum, but there must be a way teams other than the steemit development team to propose and get enacted Hard Forks.
I altered a bunch of my witness votes today!
I just proxied @theycallmedan :) Keep doing the wonderful job mate.
When I was voting, I noticed some witnesses were offline. So, I will go back and double check my votes.
does that mean smartsteem is up again? :)
edit: nvm, didn't read the end :D thanks!
Congratulations @therealwolf!
Your post was mentioned in the Steem Hit Parade in the following category:
You have had my vote from day one, i also went in and voted for other original witnesses.
Even though I disagree entirely with your ethics and developer practices I would be more than happy to have you represent us over Justin Sun. I gave you the Witness Vote back to all the accounts you manage. I am still not impressed with you not refunding my cancelled promotion for the New Zealand Shooting. Your rules didnt really mention gore and the is no official court order ever given to take the video down form Steem.
