RE: I've Decided to Shut Down My Steem Witness
The reality is, just a few backup witnesses have very little influence and by themselves can do next to nothing to protect the chain from core changes which might include censorship as we're already seeing on the Steemit interface (along with attempts to justify it) along with massive downvotes from the stake that was supposed to be used to benefit the Steem community.
I could imagine sock-puppet nodes refusing to process transactions to exchanges from Hive supporters looking to exit. This would be a soft-fork right? Blocks that contain an unapproved transaction would be rejected? How many witnesses are needed to censor transactions?
As long as they have 2/3 + 1 of the top 20 + the backup, they control the protocol.
Wow this is weird. I made these comments on peakd.com using Hive Keychain to sign. I thought the fork was supposed to have replay protection... comments never showed up on Hive but did on Steem.
Hi there
I've been reading through many comments related to new hive chain and I've seen your comment too. Many users are being torn, however majority seem to be moving to new hive.
Are you fully moving there or will you stay on both chains? Just curious. I'm trying to figure out what to do myself.
I'm looking to exit Steem and double down on Hive... if you get my drift?
I get your drift :)
Big Thx for your reply. I think i will stick around on both chains for time being.
I also figured that you may find this post interesting and worth your time:
