I, @dmitrydao, will not in any way, run a version of steemd on my servers as a Witness, that are risking the funds of any account. I will stay loyal to the integrity of the STEEM blockchain and not try to hardfork STEEM into a pirate-chain were a portion of the FOUNDERS stake is removed.
I believe in entrepreneurial spirit of Steem community and the values it follows since the beginning. There could be a faster execution from the core team but I know how it feels to be behind the schedule. New features and clear communication are both solvable things. It can happen fast if executed correctly.
As a witness, I am committed to offer more use cases for Steem as a payment method and leverage the identity layer for a single log-in into apps, games, marketplaces, blogging networks and online stores.
I will support decisions that will not hurt this amazing project, its community, witnesses and stakeholders. I believe that technology behind Steem is phenomenal but the people behind it should be valued even more.
