Stax is Dead. Long Live #steemsilvergold

Hi friends!

Well that was disappointing...

First off, let me say that i thought everybody conducted themselves quite admirably during the town-hall meeting. I was listening from about 25mins before, until 5 mins after, Phil RELUCTANTLY spoke the words: “Stax and her wallet are mine” (or whatever the exact phrasing was...) in particular, i would like to commend @raybrockman for leading the discussion, and @buggedout for demonstrating clear, critical thinking and offering up 9 ways to Sunday to @phelimint for a way to keep membership happy and yet retain “ownership” of the bot. Way to go fellas! It is perhaps a good thing that i couldn’t figure out how to comment during the group chat, as i fear still, my opinion on this matter may not come across quite as judiciously.

post hasteSecond, where is my money @phelimint? I speak here ONLY of my donations to @steemsilverround, but sending that asap is a demand i am making and i would like it, or some kind of explanation

Thirdly, as one of the original 20 members of #steemsilvergold i want you to know i am seriously disappointed in you, @phelimint, and i am stunned that you would make such a lousy business decision for a measly seven grand.

Fouthly, where is my compensation? And forgive me if i sound greedy or arrogant, but you know what they say: “When in Rome...”
I have invested heavily in Stax.

-His winning design was based on my entry for what she should look like
-I named her (or more precisely, Membership chose what her name should be given several alternatives and my suggestion won). -I found and brought onboard @edxserverus.

there is not a single member that i am aware of that has done more for you than i have. And here i speak of a few things: i have argued for people to just chill out with all their pestering of you. I have commended your hard work time and time again. It was ME that argued for paying you via the “community” bot to maintain it. I am sure you remember exactly where the genesis of that idea came from 😳 — and as an aside, why in fuck would anybody agree to pay a private bot owner for maintaining a bot that they were already supporting with a daily 100? ...i’ll just wait for that answer i’m assuming...
Oh yeah, and months ago, i spent several hours over a couple days helping you bring Phelimint into the 21st Century re: accepting crypto via your website — i charge $100-150 hr to do that for strangers, and i am hired regularly. I alerted you to this fact back then, told you it was unnecessary to pay me in the spirit of fraternity, but ffs man, you own a mint — don’t you think a 1oz token of gratitude (at the very least) would have been a classy move?
Further, i have monitored your rep, followers and wallet for months, and i have marvelled at the massive collateral improvements to your account that have resulted from being in the driver’s seat with Stax. And last night when you said something along the lines of: “yeah i was thinking it was getting a little imbalanced when voting strength dropped from 80, to 60, to 50, to 40...” well why didn’t you do anything about it?

You argue for ownership as if Stax is just like any other bot out there — but she was like no other bot. Her rapid ascension to $70 daily post rewards was THE DIRECT RESULT OF MEMBERSHIP. Hell, i have over 6,400 unencumbered SP and i have been dishing out to her like Gordon Fucking Ramsy!

It will not surprise me if this is not agreed to, but that too will be your decision.I think 5% (1/20th) of the wallet is a good place to start. Please send along $350 on top of my generous contribution to @steemsilverround.

And finally, as this is already beginning to bore me, what the fuck are you thinking man!!!? Between just me, ray, and the mafia bros you have already lost about 7k in potential future business, and have now suffered as yet unrealized besmirchment of your brand! And you know what? You deserve it! Your business ethics are shit.

Moreover, you’ve turned OUR little girl into a whore! From Jeeez!!! To Sleeeze!!!

We had this:

With lots of good will and material support,

And now you have this:

Personally it’s not even a big deal to me. I’m a big boy, i’ve been around the block once or twice, i’ve been there, done that, bought the fucking T-shirt and left greater fools than you in my dust and my flatulence

Oh yeah, and did you know:

I know that you know that what you are doing is wrong — i could hear it in your voice during the group chat. Why you would, as @buggedout so eloquently phrased it, volunteer to get “hit by a bus” when all you had to do was step up and be a real man? You had the rare opportunity to be a fucking HERO, and you chose PIMP instead.

I would advise you to look up this word in the dictionary: INTEGRITY

I’m serious. And then give a long think about what kind of character you want to have, and how you will display this to your family, friends, and other realtionships you find yourself in.

Without integrity you ain’t got shit man.

And to be perfectly clear on two things:

Send me my fucking money asap
Stax is no more steemsilvergold than that pocketchangetheoryguy is

Stax is dead. Long live Steemsilvergold!
