I just gave you my first Witness Vote on Blurt. I've been here for many months, but I haven't voted for witnesses yet because I haven't been able to get a real picture and observe over a longer period of time how any of the witnesses behave during conflicts or questions. I am also still not sure on what other basis I should cast my vote, other than communication and negotiation skills, as I have no technical expertise equal to those of developers and techs.
I found your questions to fervi and how you engaged in the topic refreshing and diplomatic at the same time.
Thanks a lot for your nice comment and your support of my witness.
Yes, it's not really easy, you have those who bring value on visible actions, but also some who are less expressed and who work in the shadow but who, by their great competence bring a lot, and that non-technical expertise will have difficulty in seeing it, it's necessary to know where to look. For example, when I take a look at the posts of Saboin this does not reflect the huge role he plays every day in the Blurt infrastructure (both in terms of server administration and dev).
what are your thoughts on burning the inactive exchange accounts ?
Even if I have BLURTS in it (Bittrex) I am for burning them because there is no guarantee that if one day Bittrex lists BLURT it will give me my share (although I trust Bittrex more than some of the other exchanges that have already proven in the past that they can't be trusted). I think that having them is more of a handicap for people potentially wanting to buy some BLURT and that it can be a dissuasive factor considering the amount of BLURT involved.
To have my complete thought it is necessary to go back further, personally, I think that the copy of the STEEM wallet was a mistake and that it would have been better to have a system of CLAIM WALLET with an expiration date, like that we would not have found ourselves with this dilemma 2 years later because of the huge amount of BLURT in ghost account.
And you what your thoughts on burning them?
account sovereignty is sacrosanct
the whole point of crypto is account sovereignty
I can understand your point of view, I think our vision differs in that you consider the account of an exchange as any other user whereas I see it more as a part of the exchange itself on the blockchain, just a bridge to its own database where the exchange user accounts reside (on which it dictates its own rules centrally)
Besides, my dev part tells me that after 2 years and considering the work on their database needed to be able to distribute the BLURT to their real owner, I don't think they will ever do it.
After a conciliation can be to ask the exchanges themselves to send the BLURT of their account to the @null account if they have no intention one day to airdrop their BLURT to their owner.
agreed and since those tokens are out of circulation, i don't see any "crisis"
megadrive said he wants to burn the 75 million tokens and then recreate them on the ION network
this would increase AVAILABLE SUPPLY and potentially drive the token price lower
even if you don't give a shit about account sovereignty
For my part, I would not say a crisis but rather a dissuasion weapon that can discourage people from investing/developing on Blurt, just because something is sleeping doesn't mean it can't wake up at any time.
About the ION network, I'm not for it but I have not yet studied the subject enough nor heard enough arguments to make my position definitive.
what is "ION network"?
one person makes up shit and others repeat it!
Cosmos network, see https://mapofzones.com ION is just the gov token of the Osmosis Dex which clawed back untouched airdrop as an example I referenced.
blurt is not an "investment instrument"
we don't want to encourage "speculators"
blurt is a free-speech blogging platform
that is the primary value-case for the token
and as you've already pointed out,
the chances that 75 million blurt tokens will magically get dumped on the market without any notice is extremely unlikely - mostly because only an idiot would do that - anyone controlling those accounts is going to be savvy enough to know that in order to maximize their own profits, they would slow-bleed the accounts and would even be MOTIVATED TO HYPE BLURT in order to INCREASE the value of THEIR OWN WINDFALL
i mean, if i discovered that i owned 75 million shares of gamestop, i'd hype the shit outta that mutherfucker
tagg @megadrive @randula @outofthematrix @practicalthought @rycharde
also, burning those tokens will reduce the reward pool
