RE: What I Learned From Hardfork 20 - I Was Wrong about my Witness Votes
I think Steemit Inc need to make sure the code is fully tested before the witnesses can enable it. I heard it was tried on a testnet but obviously that didn't pick up the problems. I'm not overly concerned, as long as something is done to prevent this situation happening next time.
They are working on a test net, I hope lessons will be learned on their side as well, but the buck stops at the witnesses or we have no security against malicious code, hackers, etc. There is too much money involved to trust one company to ensure the safety and quality of the code, and the idea of witnesses is to have peer reviews and audits done on the code.
It is crystal clear to me now, that this is a deal breaker.
