I don t get their reason for changing to that other blockchain. One of their arguments is that they want content creators to be rewarded by tips ... Well it s possible to send tips with steem too ... without any transaction fee.
A other point they did mention is that they leave because users with a lot of Power are only self upvoting. Well I don t like that too ... but I don t think this is going to change at the new chain. Lets say there are to users. User A: 1000Lino User B: 0Lino. Now User A does tip 1000 Lino to User B. After that the User B will return the 1000 Lino to User A as a tip. Well now User A has 1000 Lino and User B 0 Lino just as we started. BUT now both will get a share of the inflationpool because they both got 1000Lino as tip. This will be exploited even more than the selfupvoting.
