My plan is to migrate everyone, username and public key, and current balances, minus the premine, which will be added to the initial rewards pool and competed for.

All you will have to do is go to a new address and use the same app, everything will look the same except RELOADED slathered on hard.

So what is to stop a whale from depositing their own pre-mined steem into this forked steem?

haha! how are they gonna sell it?

Sure, if they got some out and didn't blaze it up on lambos or coke.

lol.. well I don't claim to know how whales spend their money. You seem 100% sure that steemit will crash? I'm sure @ned and @dan know your position. But what you suggest is that the steem token will be the same either way. You could easily calculate when this thing will come down.. also you probably would have been flagged or silenced if this were 100% true. So whats the deal.

I have been flagged pretty hard, if you go look.

I'm simply betting that nobody will be able to keep running the chain, as it stands, without drastic (and I mean by this, under 1 week) serious coding action. Even then, I doubt a stable solution can be rolled out that fast. Give it 2 months. By that time, there will have been days, if not weeks of no trading.

What do you think will happen then?
