RE: Moving to hive
The new code can be deployed and the fork accepted by a super-majority of the top-20 witnesses. The rest of the witnesses do not factor into it. If those witnesses outside of the top-20 do not then upgrade to the new fork, they will effectively become defunct.
So, sure - anyone can review the code. But if the people in the top-20 are going to blindly accept it anyway, there's nothing that the rest of the witnesses can do. You either go along with it or shut down your node.
And if you're in the secret Slack, you play by Ned's rules or you're ousted. So...guess what those people decide to do?
Actually, I've mentioned you twice this morning. I saw that you actually posted and discussed your concerns. I think that was the right thing to do.
Even if I don't always agree with all you say and do, you acted with integrity on this one.
Yes, @ats-david had a very in depth post on his blog about his concerns that I really didn't see elsewhere. I was surprised he was one of the tiny few.
