Hey Ned,
Glad to see that the powerdown has stopped. I know it restarted back on programmatic selling, and I have no qualms with that. Thanks for stopping the major powerdown. I think it's an important step to healing the divide between Steemit and frustrated witnesses, large stake holders, and sections of the community at large.
I want to express my gratitude not only for that, but also your changes regarding how you're interacting with the community.
I expressed 4 major problems a few weeks ago: Fiscal management, communication, open development process, and mass adoption. Additionally, Tim has had concerns around transparency, and Jesta has shared concerns around accountability.
I can't speak for them, but I think I see improvement in every category. I think some of the mindset at Steemit has shifted. So far it's looking better now than it was a few weeks ago. Nice job! Change isn't easy. It took a while to get here, but I'm feeling much better about this whole thing these days.
I want to add that @elipowell is doing a great job helping to mend some old challenges and build some new pathways that feel more inclusive than the previous approaches. I was excited to see Vandeberg come on air too during Pennsif's forum. That seems like another great step in the right direction towards changing the culture around Steemit.
I'm looking forward to seeing transparency reports. I'm looking forward to figuring out ways that Steemit and the many Dapps can work together to grow this ecosystem. I'm pleased seeing how these changes that seem to have taken root and show a little light.
I'll continue doing my best to grow this ecosystem through Apps and Communities. Let me know if there are specific ways that I can help or how I could be of service.
Overall, this seems like a good start at a real turnaround and I'm looking forward to watching it play out.
Keep it up!
Aggroed
Man, jerking them off in public, the shame!
Say anything to head up that foundation, eh? Keep a lot of lotion on hand, literally.
They did not “stop” anything, @aggroed is a liar.
As my grandmother used to say "you can catch more flies with honey than by acting like a giant bag of dicks."
I called Steemit out when Ned et al did things I didn't like. I'll praise them when they make good changes. I'll apparently take heat from the community for both of those actions.
Let no good deed go unpunished.
I'm honored that you read my page though. Here have some tea.
tehuh! Tea! ; )
I appreciate your work with @ned and Steemit Inc. @aggroed. Thank you 😊✌
Huge respect to The Grandma. Deeply inspirational
I don't know much about the ins and outs of the programming of the site, and the various power struggles, but I had my grave concerns about the big power down as well, but if @aggroed is happier, I am happier.
I was sure it will end up a nice way. Thanks to all of you!
And why not, we can only succeed by working together like a family.Okay good to see you guys are happy with this decision by @ned.

I very much agree - it's an important statement from Steemit Inc. that the power-down is stopped. So thank you, Ned (and all the community members who let their voices known)
only enough to cover their 800,000 STEEM monthly programmatic selling. Previously they powered down an equivalent of 8,000,000 STEEM per month, which is what this post is about.And since some Steemians might confuse it: @steemit is still powering down, but
Yea never mind the 3 weeks worth they’ve already moved. You’re just another sucker.
Resteemed 👍So good to hear this @aggroed, I think everyone is breathing a sigh right about now. I am committed to Steem we are at the beginning of great possibility!
Great to see we are moving forward!
Great news !

@Ned Would be good to have the delegations restored to the projects that had their delegation pulled during the power-down.
Also, projects like @Share2Steem could use a nice delegation. I believe S2S is one of the fastest growing dApps on Steemit.
Dapps need to find delegation on their own and not depend one big actor.

I agree, otherwise they become dependent on 1 entity.
S2S is dope..delegation from @ned is in order..
why? Since when do businesses not find their own funding? Why is this different? Hardly decentralised if every business gets its money from one pot is it?

Why you salty ??
Since when is asking a simple question being 'salty'? Very odd thing to say !

Steemit Inc has stopped the power down?
Posted using Partiko Android
@ned stopped his powerdown but @steemit account didn't. It seems @steemit account only reduced the powerdown, is this correct @aggroed?
Yes, but the amount they are doing is what they normally do rather than a very aggressive powerdown.
Okay! Makes a lot of sense now ;)
Wow, it's the latest news! Glad to see that Ned is a reasonable man.
Let us, everybody post “Thank you @ned “.

Most excellent to see some sense of amity return. Much respect to @aggroed for speaking up.
I'm just a tiny little sub-minnow, but it's good to feel better about our leadership.
Awesome news! Really excited about this change. Can't wait for moon season 🌙

Thanks for sharing this @aggroed. I was dealing with too much domestic drama over the past several months to know what was going on with Steemit, but I'm glad to see that things are moving ahead.
oh, thanks for the news ... positive
I agree @aggroed seems to get heat either way. This is good news and nothing wrong with him saying "thank you"
Cool and resteemed :-)

Hello!
I am a community manager at Snax. We are trying to make public blockchain based on EOS node. Snax chain will provide transactions over social networks, token supply based on user social influence.
Snax as well as Steemit rewards its users for the content created, but Snax works as overlay solution over existing social networks (e.g. Twitter)
We have no ICO. We already have a testnet, mainnet will be launched this month, and we currently looking for great candidates for Block Producers like yourself. You can find out more about us at our website snax.one
If our project is interesting for you, please let me know by emailing me at [email protected]
Looking forward to hearing from you, and keep rocking this world!
It would be nice if all the top witnesses thats called for this to happen also stopped their power downs too. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander.

Fuck off troll.
since when have I been a troll, I didn't think you were talking to me till I noticed the flags. Pity there isn't a badge to go along with the title
Many people power down for many reasons and it's completely understandable. In the US you owe 35-45% in taxes which requires a constant power down. Many witnesses are paying as much or more than they make in witness rewards, potentially requiring a constant power down.
There is heaps of difference between Steemit Inc powering down and hiding their stake and a standard user powering down, witness or not.
I won't deny many witnesses powered down most or all of their stake, and while I don't agree with it, that is their right.
I fully agree, its within everyones right to do what they like with their power, including steemit inc
Sounds like a good post ;)
Yea i was thinking that too 😂

Hey, I really love the content you put out in regards to crypto! There’s a new platform called Uptrennd.com that pays you to post about crypto, have you checked it out yet?
In my opinion, the best thing to do is start a flagging account that flags spammers, there are so many accounts that have been spamming for months, maybe years, and self-upvoting and circle jerking with other spammer accounts, it's disgusting, those people are cashing out big time and getting lots of money out of the market! Flagging those accounts would make it so spamming content wouldn't be rewarded which in turn reduces the outflow of cash from the Blockchain and make the whole ecosystem a lot stronger...
@berniesanders you got a different opinion? Always glad to discuss this... that flag wasn't necessary...
Appreciate the shout out, @aggroed. More transparency to come. We are currently working on an updated project roadmap that we will update weekly. Just one of the many things we are doing to be more open with the community.
Awesome! will help rebuild trust and confidence.
@aggroed you might have missed the reply cause of flags.
