RE: Steem: Softforking, exchanges, security and mining ninjas
Nice summary of the situation but it would be nice to go even further back.
I believe that there were also others, old friends from Protoshares and Bitshares days plus a few others that figured things out, that mined huge amounts of Steem.
I could name a few but it would be interesting, from a historical perspective, to have a complete list.
For those, I can "good guess" at one or two, but it was well before my time.
Even steemit.inc's was before your time.
But not well before. A lot of what has happened and the discussions surrounding them are on the blockchain and date back to 2016. The BTS connections I know about through private discussion over the years, but they are not as well represented on chain.
One doesn't necessarily need to have been there to have an understanding of what went on. I know you are old, but I am guessing you include knowledge from before your time too ;D
Not just interesting. If they want this fork to be legit we all should know all the names, including the name of guy who hack the wallets and stole the funds.
If they don't reveal this they are just a bunch of hypocrites.
All of the mining information and the accounts are on chain. You can see which accounts are mined from steemd of you look at the account details, there is a section. I don't know how to search it as I don't have access to the SQL databases, but it is possible. Most of the miners are quite open that they mined. There is nothing wrong with those who mined - but it wasn't a fair mine by design.
Which hack are you speaking of?
Somebody hacked the wallets and stole steem. Steemit just refund the coins but thief keep the stolen steem. They know who that was but they never told steemians how much was taken and who did it. But as you said, it must be on the chain. Find it.
Happy hunting!
