RE: My First Reaction To HardFork 20, "Velocity" - Proposing Mining via Proof of Burn and Proof of Transaction

more importantly.... if a fee is introduced, does that mean that existing accunts are grandfathered in? meaning the fee is not imposed on those who were here pre HF20 helping to grow the community? i'd be against any excessive sidesteps to join, it is difficult enough for new users to learn to navigate and learn the system well enough to use it properly.... i've only been here a month and i'm still stumbling around....

Sort:  

@misterd21 the fee is already in place, only it's paid by Steemit. They support it as part of their user acquisition cost.

then either continue to pay as usual, or close the group... It sounds to me that the success of steemit is becomming a little overwhelming for the devs. or it was poorly thought out. I mean as with anything in where there is money involved(gold, dollars, crypto) someone is going to find exploits... they should have anticipated fake user accounts and prepared for such an event... Have you ever thought that a fake account is going to be willing to pay because it is still going to be a net win for them over the long run. all a fee is going to do is get the people who aren't here for the money abandon steemit...and to me, that is the real beauty of steemit...the community...
