Late to the party but...
I am not enthusiastic or hopeful concerning certain aspects of this fork with specific emphasis the convergent curve.
I suspect it will have decisively negative impact on @steemflagrewards abuse fighting operations. I fully anticipate our ability to cultivate our abuse fighting community to be severely impacted and degraded. We take incoming flags all day and now they are going to be given out for free.
I have voiced dissident views on this matter in various places. Nevertheless, I will test for the sake of my community and deliver the results to them.
Without decisive support from you @steemit, I don't see how the SFR community project will be worth the time that so many dedicate of themselves to #cleansteem.
As an engineer, I find difficult to rationalize how much time I put into this project that gives users hope only to have that dashed by a selfish whales with ulterior motives.
Perhaps, I am wrong and such will be made apparent during my testing. I intend to determine our groups loss in compensation and evaluate the viability of contuing our group efforts or securing this blockchain against the bane of token manipulation.
As stated, I am a system engineer and worse come to worse, we will prepare for a contentious hard fork. It may be a challenge but I will do what it takes to not have the system we have put together go to the wayside for such would be a shame. The question is whether SFR will be compatible with HF21 under the current parameters / support. I would love to say yes. With StInc, it would be so most assuredly.
I must make it clear. The fork talk is not a threat. It's just we have come so far to have our legs cut our from under without any support from Steemit Inc. I understand that the fork or more or less inevitable and I'm doing what I can to mitigate and prep in a part time volunteer capacity. (Now with my token $20 Utopian vote every week or so. Good I can buy a pizza or something if I wanted to power down that is. I don't)
I am more than happy for us to continue and actually that is the preferred but I think we will need help.
