This is some very silly stuff. He does not control the chain, nor do I.
I think that the most meaningful move that could be taken by any investor or user is to create additional frontend interfaces. The more of these we have, the less control the founding team has and that is by design. That is explicitly my desire.
Megadrive does not control this chain, nor do I.
He does. Even if we get a witness voted in they are removed from discord chats if they disagree with MD. how on Earth is anyone going to create change if they can’t even be heard in the places that control the funds and how they are spent. Right now we have a dictatorship. Did you see anyone get asked anything? Only proposals that get funded are ones MD chooses, the only witnesses allowed in discord are the ones that MD chooses, the only accounts that get threatened to have the wallets frozen are the ones MD chooses and if anyone/ even a voted in witness disagrees they get kicked out. How is anyone supposed to make a change? . I think a new front end is a good idea personally if Jacob can’t come in and kick some sense into the place. All eyes are on Jacob rly right now but it can’t hurt to have new front end options or even forks tbh. Competition isn’t always bad.
Who owns keys to socialgraph and initblurt accounts?
additional frontend interfaces have nothing to do with witness ranking control via socialgraph and initblurt accounts
Thank you for the advice, I think that is more of use than taking legal action that would drag on years and be costly for all parties.
You are the sensible one it seems from founding members, and it is nice to see.
Just so you know, part of that, includes a very conscious decision on my part, to watch the chain develop as opposed to attempting to intervene in its development.
I believe that mega drive has done absolutely stellar work on blurt. If I didn't think that, I would say it. Also, I think that a great deal of his work was necessary. I do not think that every choice or statement that he made was correct but that does not matter to me because he always acted in an ethical manner.
I beg to differ with "because he always acted in an ethical manner" as when he was threatening to freeze funds and force off a minnow like @lucylin just because he does not like peoples "words" that is not ethical and very destructive, as was his wish to buy a drone and send it to the Ukraine where a civil war has raged (fact) for 8 years now.
His treatment of @double-u, @ctime, @lucylin and @mariuszkarowski has at times been verging on hysterical, which is why if he was my PR spokeman he would be out of a job.
As stated in my article, every time he makes a hate post or speaks about inviting people to leave here the price tanks or plummets.
Is he doing this on purpose? As he must be able to see the correlation between the price drops and his own negative actions.
I disagree with this drone thing tho MD is entitled to want to send in a drone if he wants as long as it’s clear it’s his opinion not blurts. Having said that it’s easy to get the two mixed up which is why on the most part it’s good for founders make it clear their opinion is not the opinion of the platform and seperate their identify vitalik does a decent job of this.
It would be better all round if he was seen and not heard, if he only spoke telling people about new and great ideas, not his shitty opinion of who he wants to argue with this week. He should be promoting this place, not policing it, not telling people to leave with larger investments than his as he never bought his.
Here we agree if he is going to post loose canon it needs to be clear at the top it’s opinion not an official statement. If we make these types of posts everyone knows it’s our opinion, as a co founder he doesn’t have that luxury so needs to be more careful or be clear at the top it’s an opinion not a statement
Agreed. Do we have a private room now and some sexy time as we agreed for a moment? Got to laugh at it all, or cry, I prefer the former.
Nearly every post I do I am chuckling away while writing them, people read into them venom, or anger, or what ever they want, but as seri arse as some are, I am still having a giggle, as most people it seems are stupid, or taint what ever we write, with their own hang ups, got to laugh at life, as at times it is plain silly, byt fun, if we make it so.
OMG, we almost all know different!
