Thankyou for your efforts and insight TimCliff.
This Knight has watched you from afar for 18 months now and holds you in high regard.
I reply to you now to throw support behind your statements here. Moreso I seek to add:
I am against a hardfork removing SteemInc funds - this would set a terrible precedent.
However, SteemInc has failed in its mandate to grow this blockchain and its value. As such it has become a dead-weight which Steem can no longer afford to carry.
I therefore throw my full support behind a new blockchain, with the SteemInc holdings removed, should Witnesses choose to go down this path.
This is fair for all parties involved. Some Steemians will choose to stay, some will go and some will use both. But importantly, all will be 'free' to choose.
What would I call this new chain?
'Xteem'
(Pronounced X-steem)
I am... SirKnight.

Anyone who wants to pursue that option is free to do so, with or without witness support.
This is the beautiful thing about free markets and open source platforms.
