  1. Yes, you will be able to use your existing Steem login in Golos

So just to be clear in order for any current steem user to gain any benefit from this - we have to login to your website with our current steemit login ?

i would change password after you logon.

No, you will need to check your GP at Golos

And Golos will be only in Russian. Doesn't seem like a fair method of payment to the current steem community.

I could sell my Russian Id at some point.

Golos people I would aim for a lower voting power exponent. That's the key flaw of steemit.

Exactly, what use is giving us shares in a community that doesn't want to integrate ? You'll get a bunch of english posts on day 1, plus you would effectively inherit the current whales through the sharedrop ?

This feels more like distraction bribery then something valuable.

I stick to my point: build something we actually need. Don't take the easy vanilla clone path that so many have used to get people to give up money left and right for int he past. There are MANY chains that they could build that would not divide our community but give it more tools...and they could be modified clones of steemit.

They'll have tons of English users on day one. Enterprising Russians will translate to earn the English vote.

Hey, I'll guess I'll be on there with google translate , powering down and dumping for steem. )

Taking into account a real situation with the digital services (and not only them) languages divide a world community. And for the time being people prefer to use their native languages for communication. Chinese, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, French are spoken by billions of people fluently, and they simple can't and do not want to compete with the English speakers in writing and reading in English.

I don't think anybody is arguing that you should be forced to write in english, I want to see all languages right here on steemit and have the tools to automatically translate so we can have a true global community.

Native language should be irrelevant..
