RE: Thoughts on the Soft Fork (v0.22.2)

in #steem5 years ago

Hi,

I have a question.

Witnesses decided this soft fork by themselves without talking with community.
Is it right action for community?

Did you talk with staking holder and people who voted you?

Sort:  

Witnesses are delegatees, you delegate your stake to witnesses so that they can do the "gate keeping" of the blockchain. We've seen a threat and we have acted to keep the blockchain safe.

There was not a public discussion before that soft fork because of the level of the risk. Seeing this was a huge red-flag for example. Imagine, we discuss this on chain before that, the ninja-mined stake (promised to be stay neutral on a social contract) may single handedly rule out all witnesses, making the blockchain a one-man party.

SF doesn't nullify any account and it's reversible. We just wanted to be safe until we get a direct communication line from TRON side.

I see. I understand what you said. But, I think it is a little bit coercive.

Even if witnesses discussed by themselves (how many people included on discussion), this post includes stakeholders...

This statement has been co-authored by the Steem community, which includes witnesses, developers & stakeholders. - https://steemit.com/steem/@softfork222/soft-fork-222

Thank you for answering kindly.

While there wasn't a complete community poll, there were extensive & long open-forums where tons of members shown up ( the palnet discord literally froze on my computer after the ned & justin livestream where aggroed talked with dozens of people for hours ).

Again, it wasn't addressed by everyone, but just to put it in context, it was discussed with a lot of members and the overall consensus was in support of this move.
