I don't think that themarkymark/buildawhale and blocktrades/darthknight are the same person.
HIVE is more centralized than STEEM ...
I don't think it's more centralized than STEEM, but right, is is rather centralized (which I myself described here).
At least downvote his blog posts and comments while powering down.
It doesn't have any real positive/useful effect to leave even more 'scorched earth' behind while going ahead.
I feel more sad than angry, considering the potential of HIVE with its technology and interesting dapps on the one hand combined with greed, an astonishing lack of communication and interpersonal skills on the other hand, but already decided to move on.
years on day 6. Talk about bearing a grudge.I'll be sad to see you go man. We spoke several times at 2 Steemfests and I made a connection with you. It touched me that you and your wife talked to my wife in Krakow, her knowing nobody. Know that you have friends here, and don't listen to this twat (@slowgrow) feeding you poison who has been mindlessly systematically flagging several of us for years..., yes
themarkymark pays for the delegation ...
But yes, most topwitnesses are very close to each other, delegate HP to anonymous accounts, lend each other their posting keys (for example to disguise who is behind a flag), are able to put accounts on blacklists instantly, even if their names aren't officially connected to these lists.
Concerning STEEM you either have to beg @steemcurator01 for an upvote (after participating in any of these many competitions) or be Korean. ;-) There aren't the original communities anymore where normal users supported each other.
Anyway, enough said, isn't it? I didn't like when HIVE witnesses were posting and farming on STEEM after they had left, and now I also don't intend to discuss about HIVE all the way after I left.
