Wow. If what you are saying is true @intrepidsurfer this is very surprising!
This does not seem like the correct thing for @steemengine to do. Maybe i am not understanding the full dynamics. I'm actually not a holder of any Steem Engine tokens (apart from some freely awarded dust), but i am an upholder of integrity.
I feel it is vitally important for any community, especially one such as Steem Engine or Hive Engine who are selling their tokens and exchanging others, to be in absolute integrity and to use an integral system of bottom up governance such as Matrix-8 which enables the users (as opposed to an oligarchy) to govern the community in a well organised, equitable and efficient way.
Perhaps @steemengineteam, @enginewitty (maybe i am wrong i think you are part of the steem engine team?) and any others concerned in the governance and decision making of Steem Engine and the future Hive Engine, can consider very carefully your decisions, and give some meaningful feedback here to @intrepidsurfer and all the other Steem Engine shareholders.
Much Love to all

Have you heard about Ecoin and Initiative Q ?
this post i made about Crypto Mass AdoptionThey are two different initiatives attempting to bring about #cryptomassadoption. Read about them in and get your allocation of #freecryptocoins.
@aggroed, @yabapmatt. Are you going to engage in this thread?
yeah, but it seems to be pretty much a one way street, with no feedback from @steemengineteam
If Steem Engine (or any other community / organisation) had Matrix-8 governance in place, the team making the decisions at the top (such as @aggroed and @yabapmatt from my understanding) would be delegates, and they would receive messages such as those in this thread from the community members in their 8-PAC meetings, and if they failed to reply or immediately change their course of action (if it is not what was agreed upon in the ground level 8-PAC's), then the remaining seven members in their originating 8-PAC could immediately un-delegate them and elect a new delegate to replace them. The Matrix-8 platform will elect members as delegates who are in integrity, and remove those who are not. It will create integral organisations for the people and by the people. Issues such as this will no longer be issues. What say you guys? How about creating a world class community in Hive Engine with equitable governance?
