Oh no, I try not to comment and control my calm. But it is unavoidable. Do you think they are going to control the block chain and leave us all in ruin? Just because a person moves up the witness list? that's not supposed to be decentralized. Well, does the term decentralization exist? Why so much movement because of this?
I don't want anyone to take over Blurt, I want Blurt to be prosperous, to be an impressive community, to be a platform with very interesting content, I want the price of Blurt to go up, that's what we all want. Let's stop debating.
Do you think they are going to steal the platform, just to move up in the witness list? Please, Blurt needs to diversify and needs the best. Good night 😇
To clarify, the new consensus changes makes it almost impossible for anyone to take over consensus without a shed load of stake. The issue here is that the top no. 1 witness also becomes the failsafe recovery account if users don’t have one. @saboin is most trusted and experienced to handle this.
Due to the poor conduct on ferv’s part witnesses are banding together to reinstate saboin. We are planning a feature for the next HF to have this set as a witness parameter so witnesses set who will have this responsibility rather than hardcoded to no. 1 who might not be qualified or want that task.
It’s quite good this is all happening as it serves to stress test the gameable limita of Blurt and so far we are holding up well and innovating to suit as mentioned above.
How many times has this been used on Steem/Hive/Blurt?
I don't imagine many times but it is important to cover edge cases, a black swan event of mass accounts being compromised would make this feature important. Especially in the case of the free account issuer also being the recovery account, if the issuer locks the user out later with password change and are also the recovery account, the user has no chance of getting their account back.
Hey Cristo thanks for your views.
Actually the issue is decentralisation itself.
Now some group of people have been able to buy back a lot and only 3-4 people voting fervi now to top.
But the community as whole ( in numbers ) voting for saboin for the better of blurt.
We all want a good blurt, it's just the issue has become unavoidable.
Just keep believing in blurt
Thanks
