RE: How to fuck a DPOS blockchain
That move enforced what had been previously a verbal/written agreement that Steemit stake was for developing the platform and not for interfering with governance or for personal gain.
That went far beyond that and froze STINC out of their accounts for virtually all operations, not just witness voting. They could not use it to develop the platform under those restrictions. The 22.3 which @timcliff put out addressed their promises without going further. Not sure what this 22.4444 is now trying to do.
Thanks for the clarification. I imagine restricting "virtually all operations" was essential to make sure the STEEM was not transferred or delegated to unencumbered accounts. I agree it was a bold move and a type of censorship. However, the unfair distribution of STEEM is an existential threat to the network and ultimately the community needs to pursue what's in the best interest of the community and continued existence of the platform.
My feeling is that we should seek a universal solution that will not have us targeting specific accounts. The time to debate some idea will be after getting the chain back into decentralised control.
The 22.4444 version is basically the same code as 22.1 (and 22.5) with a different version number. The 4444 is just in symbolic protest. The current 4444 version that is being run is not restricting any operations (the same as before the soft fork). Hope that helps :)
Thanks for clarifying Tim.
