Do you know Michael Vandeberg? He wrote the program you're using right now!
Some people may know the history of Hive but many don't. Hive is a full statr hard fork of Steem. The fork happened 4 years ago. Everything on Steem - the accounts, their token balances and their posts - all got copied to the brand new Hive blockchain.
Before there was Steem, there was Bitshares. Before there was Bitshares there was @dan Larimer. Dan had online discussions with Satoshi Nakamoto at the start of Bitcoin. He had many great ideas which he worked on at Bitshares including the invention of the term DAO and DPoS.
You can read all the details in this article and also learn more from this video from Michael Vandeberg who wrote most of the code for Steem/Steemit according to what he says in the video. Vandeberg left Steem at the time of the Hive fork and started Koinos with Andrew Levine.
Dan went on to fiund EOS and now he is writing about. Fractal consensus and religion right here on Hive at @dan.
Watch the video to learn about some history and some brand new things going on at Koinos which may be of some use to Hive people.
