But you can join Golos team and continue work with Steem codebase, right?

I think we can find a warm place for Dan =)

Good question !

@mammasitta only potential competition. Under the current license the Steem code cannot be used unless it has the approval of Steem inc like golos received.

If it were removed, there would be nothing stopping the community from fracturing and splitting off to form a new coin, correct?

I think that would be possibly one of the best things that could happen to the steem codebase. Multiple data formats/models, rewards structures, and experiments to really test how best to use a content based blockchain.

Competition isn't something to be scared of, it's something to spur competition and innovation, and drive you to success.

nothing except the belief that steem is more viable than a potential new coin.

abit a sphere, I'd join it :D why not STEAMY :D so it's spelled correctly :D

Reply to @sigmajin here due to nesting -
Then at this point in the game, the fear is probably justified.

I'd be scared of the competition too at this point. Probably the best move to draw this out a bit longer...

@dan, when is the next launch?

proposed removing what?

the license that bars other to fork without the written permission form the main branch :) I hope I have answered all of your questions :)
