RE: DLive is joining the Lino blockchain, moving away from Steem
I really don't understand what the purpose is, or why it is necessary
especially when STEEM is going to be having the major updates it will be having relatively soon. It seems that you all want to build a great platform, but fracturing and potentially destroying the entire userbase doesn't really seem like a great idea. Why was this decision made and announced not even a week before implementing without any input from the community? That's distressing, and "#InDLiveWeTrust" isn't really an answer, blind faith is a bad idea.
Why not have DLive work cross-chain and work with both or more chains?
I am not sure that I will continue to use the service if it is off STEEM entirely.
I don't even know what LINO is, it may be better for DLive, but at least give people time to understand. 5 days is not nearly enough. I thought transparency was the rule of law at Dlive, and am severely disappointed.
Well it seems that they don't feel they've been rewarded good enough, the fact that you and many others feel this sense of loyalty where it's either or is the real shame since this could be a real win win.
Lino is an Erc20 token that raised over 20 million in their ICO. I recognized the connection earlier this year and always kind of expected this to be honest.
Speaking of ERC20, why didn't DLive just make their own token using that and do 1 person = 1 vote token payouts without the 7 day limit to reward evergreen content? That's kinda what I was expecting to happen. And when SMTs finally launch they could migrate over to that, you know, like some dapps are doing already.
Just do a Steemhunt
Even hypothetically if people want to migrate to LINO for Dlive, powering down takes months, so there's going to be a huge gap in when people are going to be able to full run on LINO, and I honestly doubt many people will do a full switch because of DLive exclusively.
There is no need to transfer your tokens... The reward system isnt weighted on holding the coins.
I will still likely be on both to be honest.
From what I understand it's more about liquid capital, and having that tied to one platform for a long time makes the switch period awkward.
I don't understand why they just don't operate on both chains or at least leave the steem end up during a bit of time. It's too soon with no real discussion
I guess maybe... I myself am not a crypto guy so I don't want to use more than one if I don't have to... I think I'd be quicker to leave steem than to not follow dlive... Is everyone going to start streaming with dtube now?
Does dtube have streaming?
Yep see the "Go Live" link on the left side bar
Technically speaking: Yes
https://steemit.com/dtube/@heimindanger/dtube-0-8-the-grand-upgrade-is-finally-here-dtv-dtalk-vip-system-etc
Functionally speaking: Not really
Hey the voice of reason shows up! Always a pleasure to see your level headed comments!
Obviously dlive has to do what they think is best, I personally think they will find other chains have their own issues. I don't know about lino, but if it has people, it has issues.
Do you have any wise insights for us? ;p

They use Tendermint instead of DPoS which claims to be a better consensus algorithm. But my initial impressions haven't changed much. Tendermint vs DPoS is like a Knight's armor vs Samurai armor. It lacks the simplicity and elegance of DPoS and Tendermint has Practical BFT which is a sophisticaled way of saying not really BFT. Hashgraph is the only real BFT high performance network I know of. Others are just insert buzzword BFT.
LINO is based on Silicon Valley and the funding came from China and most of the team is East Asian. What's really going to make or break LINO is Proof of Content Value Algorithms, and Content Mining Algorithms. The only working non-stake based voting system that isn't a joke is @steemhunt voting system. Unless LINO produce something of that level of functionality, they will slow burn like Twitter, Snapchat, Uber......
If I had $10,000 to invest between LINO and https://www.thetatoken.org I'd put 100% on Theta.
as difficult as 1, 2, 3
VIMM is a pretty good Dlive alternative
dtube streaming is mega garbage you might get an upvote though lol
vimm, as eric said
Of the people that stick around probably vimm... They might even get the delegation now
Oh, well thanks for bringing us in on it Eric! Lol
Was only speculation. Wasn't something I wanted to share.
I was only half serious Eric!
