My interest has long been the evolution in governance of the STEEM project. The purchase of STINC by @justinsunsteemit seems a bit auspicious with the timing of the new HF (with Communities) set for next week. Such a real fork (RF) is the nuclear option which Justin seemed to have become aware of between his first Twitter announcement and the dLive show with @ned.
The change supported my long time view that all stake holders wish success for the project. They just do not always agree what success means with regard to STEEM.
Nukes kept the major powers in peace during the Cold War. Perhaps the nuclear option will retain peace in the STEEM community as well. ✌️😎
there isn't a HF set for next week. If Communities are released this week or the next... it doesn't require a HF just the beta site moves to the regular Steemit.com site

Can we fork out Steemit.inc stake? I know someone wrote the code a few months ago. This would be the time. If we could do it before the sale goes through. I know witnesses wont sleep if it means they save their asses and arent eaten up by Tron "super representatives".
I think the distinction has to be made between the fork on github to prevent them taking the repository private or something like that, and a fork of the actual blockchain.
If it ends up being a token swap on polo, it's just a matter of what they plan to do with the original base chain tokens (burn or dump them). The witnesses just need to keep doing what they are doing. If they burn it for the swap, fabulous! If they decide to dump it on another exchange as 'steem classic', we all take a haircut on the price. My main concern is with the exchanges. Do bittrex and binance support TRX tokens? If not, it might be an easier sell to keep with business as usual. If they convince the other exchanges to support the swap, that's bad news. If it's one thing we would need to do as a community, is convince the exchanges the community doesn't want the swap. But there quite a few cheerleaders thinking that moving over to TRX is the greatest thing ever.
please name it Steem 2.0 :) Steem classic sounds old. We want sound New and cool :D
btw in too
I think @cadawg has the whole thing archived.
Yup. https://github.com/SteemClassic
How about STEEMCash? 😎
Steemcoingold?
LOL
Nice
why not :) but then we need to remove SBD, otherwise it would be crazy :D
Lets fork to #steemcash : https://www.lassecash.com/steem/@lasseehlers/i-don-t-like-justin-sun-s-acquisition-of-steemit-inc-fork-his-stake-out-steemcash

Yeah just meant the timing was great with the Communities release. Two years overdue with a one week head start for @ned. 😅
@ned was so clueless about what happens on Steem that it would not surprise me if he had zero awareness that Communities were even in Beta
The one thing to thank him for is his mismanagement of STINC's stake so that only 20+% was handed off to Mr. Sun and not the original 40+.
How about steem 3.0, just because we can?
Sbd is to prevent 80m usd pizzas, but too many people miss that.
I spent steem in @homesteaders coop and rue the day steem gets back to 5usd.
Right on! !COFFEEA
Great idea!!! My take is Steem Flynn in a nod to Tron the Movie. Might be a good code name for Steem 2.0 [Edit: Steem 3.0] !BEER

thats cool :)
Lol
