v0.22.333
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:

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!

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:
