RE: Amazing recount of what really happened on Steem and the birth of Hive

in LeoFinance4 years ago

It was definitely a fantastic article and retelling of the entire ordeal to date. The one part that irked me a bit, though, was this one:

Specifically, the witnesses were able to unilaterally lock out Sun after a simple majority vote passed 19 to 1. They had orchestrated the plan in a private Slack group, ran a software upgrade on the blockchain and froze the Tron Foundation CEO’s funds.

“It was like shooting first and then talking with them,” one Steem community member recently complained to Decrypt. The person—who is actually a Sun supporter—asked that his real name be withheld because he had received death threats.

This glosses over the two weeks of trying to talk to them, the AMA which answered nothing, and, most importantly, Tron using their "non-voting" stake to vote for block producers on the Tron blockchain which is exactly what the Steem community was worried about.

And me:

The person—who is actually a Sun supporter—asked that his real name be withheld because he had received death threats.

that discredits the fight.

In any case and even if it's a bit romanticized I would have learned some things, had additional information about others. Really a must-read article when you're on this blockchain, thanks for sharing it @themarkymark.

Good point, but in all fairness he want is a journalist and I expect most of us who care already were desperately trying to reach out to Justin Suns community members to find a more logical approach to the use of the funds.
