RE: Announcing the Delegation Committee
Only 3 people ? LOL
@starkerz, one of the poorest choices out of all. He already syphoned a ton from SteemIt inc, for absolutely 0 results. He's the type of person thinking only about money. I met him once in SF3 and understood that quite quickly. His only project is 3Speak, which was actually built by his slaves, and is a copy of DTube except it uses Amazon for hosting, and you need to be a popular guy to be able to upload. He used delegation to pay people who built his projects via upvotes, syphoning the reward pool on a daily basis. Out of all the currently delegated projects, he clearly sits near the bottom of the good/bad gauge, like fundition/drugwars for me. There's clearly a huge conflict of interest issue with 3Speak/DTube here and if he's in the committee, I'd like to be as well.
While I would be ok with the two others, putting them together is a bit retarded because it creates a massive conflict of interest considering they both work for Steem-Engine.com. What would stop them from forcing any new project to make a steem-engine token and pay ENG fees? Nothing. Huge conflict of interest. Pick one of the two. Giving 2/3 of the committee to steem-engine team seems completely moronic to me, unless it's completely intentional and a direct result of corruption.
This smells super bad for STEEM to me. I doubt I'm the only one.
Hmm. I usually dont take to this kind of character attacks and in this case its the same. I see the work of @starkerz being more effective in a bull market then where wer at right now and i think that applies to @oracle-d more then the rest.
But you did raise some interesting points about 3speak.
Im someone that will support the efforts by Dan since hes the only whale here at the momment that sees the big picture.
That being said the fact that Dtube exists and is slowly morphing into much more then a youtube clone + steem upvotes, the existance of 3speak that not only is NOT censorship resistant beyond their word, but is a direct rival to dtube with their project leader in the delegation team without a dtube representative, raises concerns.
The problem i see you having is that you have been very critical of steemit and you create an appearance that youre hard to work with. Folks like me might not mind because im very similar but steemit.inc would mind.
Still... Having you or @nannal in the deleg team would be a must imo.

3speak is not censorship-resistant. Not more than DTube, and actually way less. DTube has support for IPFS videos which means you can get your thing hosted wherever you want and it'll keep loading on our player.
Just put some really bad stuff (lets say the terrorist shootings from australia) on 3speak, publicly viewable. Then I will make sure it gets taken down even if I do not own 3speak. Proof by example. Wanna try?
I refuse lies, that's probably why I'm hard to work with. Whenever you say bullshit, I will smell it and call it out loud. Pragmatic people will enjoy it, the victims of it (the manipulators) will hate me forever for it.
DTube is a chaotic project acting for good. We aren't making long presentations about our future plans or what will release in 2 years. We are hard to predict and even change our minds often about the plan to follow. We mostly spend our limited time on getting things done rather than bla bla bla and lies all the time. But it is possible to work with us. I'm not the sole person working for @dtube and we have some staff with better communication abilities than me.
3speak and dlive getting a big delegation from steemit has always been hard to accept for me. That means we could go twice as far if we combined the funds, instead of doing the same lap twice and creating stupid steem-internal competition. This arbitrary committee is basically going one step further, giving an advantage to 3speak. If a platform is to get the combined funds to focus on video now, it will be them. It will make it twice harder to work with me now considering I'm not a cold-blooded person :)
I tend to agree that a member of dtube on this committee would be a smart move. Perhaps not the Hemster 😂 as he is better barking his bullshit radar from the side.
Though i think many that have been in the steemit community for any length of time have a lot of faith in Dtube and the motivations that drive them.
It does seem that 5 or 7 core committee members would bring more fairness to the process. Obviously more people can slow things down, but if its the right people.... not necesarily.
Yeah. Nannal is the more compossed and quiet of the two. I think their oppinions pretty much match but he might be a better choice.

Satoshi never sold his stake. Steemit Inc continues to sell while dangling the powered up incentive to keep the community in line. But how long will that last? I would like to see a governance system built for this purpose (delegation ofnsteemit Inc state) and for the development of the repos. Enabling parties that are invested, to have a say enables democratic governance and a bright future for the blockchains that adopt this mindset.
Does Satoshi even hold the keys to the wallets? Or are they virtually burnt? We do not even know.
Steemit Inc has always been pretty bad when it comes to making any actual decisions. I'd also give my support for heimindanger. He says like it is, and we need hard truth here since sweet lies have gotten us to this point.
