RE: You must have mistaken STEEM for something else...
In all parts of the world I'm familiar with, that's impossible. $10 is often the min. price for prepaid service alone. If you consider the US, for example, you could walk away…

RE: You must have mistaken STEEM for something else...
IMO you guys need to remove the "Free of Charge... no strings attached" line. The only way to get a gratis account is to compromise freedom and privacy. Lengthy rationale:…

RE: The Problem with Byzantine Generals
$5 is extortionate. That's a weeks wage in some parts of the world. A moderate user (say 1 or 2 blogs/week) needs ~5-10 accounts just to get a basic level of anonymous…

RE: The Problem with Byzantine Generals
It's good to have the advanced user options you mention, but they sound cumbersome and impractical. Hundreds of thousands of participants are being forced into a position of…

It wouldn't matter if the inflation slowing (what dan considers to be "harm") were disproportionate or not. If it's disproportionate, then the less CPU-intensive currencies…

RE: Trade Wars
PayPal's business plan is not the rationale for the boycott. Have another look at why boycott Paypal if you haven't already. It's the repression of people's freedom and…

RE: Trade Wars
PayPal is not going to be broad-sided by crypto-currency and then sink. They're probably working out how to a piece of the action as we speak, as this is fundamental to what…

RE: Trump Toronto hotel / condo tower ordered up for sale by Superior Court - Building half empty, loan payments not made
The boycotts do not target Trump himself. That would risk worsening Trump's behavior and performance even more, IMO. Those boycotts are aimed at a broad range of harmful…
