Former witness @l0k1 in the guise of @elfspice who is boycotting the whole witness election game, because it's rigged:
I posted this:

and the next morning I awake to thtis:

I think it was my campaign that forced them to release the bugfixes they had ready. It wasn't a small number of fixes either. Note that I am having quite the fight with @timcliff over a whole range of issues and to me he is the star icon of the corruption of the witness election game, well, after Smooth and Abit.
For the technically minded, the bandwidth error was a fixed point rounding error.
and btw, You're Welcome.
These other people followed to back up what I was saying about the need for the fix, but they all were too scared to confront the decadence and lack of communication from Stinc, and the lack of any adequate action in almost 2 weeks since the HF19 brought on this bullshit.
I read your posts and I have to say I am not really convinced. Maybe that was not your goal, but still.
From my experience as a developer things like this bug happen and once they happen you solve them immediately. I watched the github discussion and the fixes and to me it looked like they saw the issue, thought on how to fix it for a day and then fixed it.
There are always many things TODO in a codebase, you never get time to make it perfect. That is the reality of working on a big project. Adding dependancies is normal. Not merging upstream because something would break is also a thing that happens a lot. It is only that Stinc allows you to watch the process you notice these things.
Also: Correlation does not imply causation
Just because you posted something, all people get to work? Come on, it takes ego to think that. They are probably too busy to read any posts.
On a side note: I voted myself for witness, because I trust in myself as a witness. And my replay was like 2 hours 🐐
Steem is open source. No one stops you from developing for it and fixing bugs. You could probably earn quite a bit from the community too.
There are issues in every architecture, that is how it works, nothing is perfect there are tradeoffs everywhere.
Your critique sounds like you have no idea how Software development looks like. I'm happy to be proven wrong but your arguments are not really convincing.
It really sounds like 'all are evil and plotting xy or following the masters' and that is a heavy claim without any backup facts.
