Sorry i just somehow missed your reply. i have very little time to spend on blurt so i usually i prefer do something than just talking ;)
Of course i agree whit all you saying. And of course you have right that better content don't do the job ;)
but as i say above here i se this from the other perspective where do something for now with fake stake is not really easy and in the meantime Blurt could just fall because no other actions to show people that we trying to do something interesting here.
privately i cannot do anything with fake stake. i don't have any resources to do something more than just remembering what is a problem and talking about that. Whales like a mmk or ctime can.
I can only, with people like @fervi, developing infrastructure to built some difference here for, people who like @fort and i looking here some place to publishing sharing their thoughts and gain something for that. For example by, securing network for us and for example if it will be hot here we can always do another fork.
And also i can participate in blocking future HF if they want to make some unacceptable changes on blurt blockchain and that's i'm trying to do here.
Alright, I understand you're too busy, and that you wouldn't be able to do much even if you had more time. As I've pointed out - and nobody is able to come up with any reason I'm not correct - Blurt will continue to fail and die unless this problem is solved. We will just have to hope for the best. Good luck.
Well, I wouldn't see it so badly. some things just take time. I think we'll have to wait a year and a half to see how things go.
Is that when Rychade and Megalomaniac are going to end their corruption?
I doubt it, but it took about six months to a year for most of the projects I've seen to bounce back from the crisis or fail completely right after things started to go wrong. And more or less after such a time it was clear that if you still have any coins in this project, you can easily withdraw them because they are unlikely to rebound. Although these are just statistics, and examples of projects such as dogecoin, which was a shitcoin for 2 years, of course teach us that sometimes something unpredictable can happen.
Hi @khrom & @drutter,
(Just thought I would interject here.)
We also need to consider... the crypto tide is receding. Once value begins to flow back into the crypto sea all the fundamentals change.
There are seasons... and now is the time to invest in the future rather than expect the returns of summer.
We are here... and that means we have made the decision to go long on Blurt.
There are always going to be problems to solve... the bigger (more successful) the project the bigger the problems there will be to solve.
Rather than thinking Blurt is broken... we all need to remember the reasons why we first came here in the first place... and find vision/ways to build undeniable value around the platform we have chosen to establish ourselves on. (That's my point of reference anyways.)
Sincerely,

those are golden words. It is in this spirit that I try to act.
Despite being aware of the problem of blurt bososter. Here I will add from myself about the booster because you asked what it was about.
The problem is that it's the biggest force after upu. Unlike upu, the entire stake belongs to the founders and they have power over it, and in the case of upu, these are funds from the delegation. In the first case, only the founders earn money on the treatment, who by the way use this account to maintain power, regardless of whether others like their actions or not, which disturbs the assumptions of this blockchain as a place where we decide who creates it.
However, while it is still understandable, the biggest problem with this sum is that it was entirely printed by the regent's account, which was programmed to create these blurts out of nothing for 2 years. And here is the greatest risk:
These are mega-easy blurts for free that have a value in the pot that is almost equivalent to what all the rest have. In the event that they were paid out, for example, during some bull market in the future, they would reset the stock market, crashing the market and leaving people who invested here, huge money with nothing.
The more so that they are owned by the same people who are responsible for most of the infrastructure through which blurt works. Which in the case of the aforementioned action would practically bury this network at the moment and would not even give a chance for these investors to get back, for example, in the future.
Of course, it cannot be assumed that this is the intention of the creators, but also taking into account the numerous already famous scams on the crypto market, it is also not surprising that such "setting" raises anxiety, especially among investors such as mk and ctime who have the most to lose here.
Well we can hope to be the next dogecoin I guess. But I really don't see it happening unless the corruption ends. The corrupt ones who rule this chain will just continue to take all the profits for themselves. I don't think dogecoin was ruled by 3 corrupt circle-jerking comment farmers using printed stake against everyone else. We don't have a year and a half, if we don't prove ourselves as viable immediately there's no future here. It is most likely already too late.
Therefore, I believe that one of the key issues is promotion.
In turn, regarding this sum, @mariuszkarowski said somewhere that when it comes to rycharde, it is a drop in the ocean and if the blurt network were visited by 2 or three more investors like mk and ctime, this sum that holds and multiplies megadrive on blurtbooster it wouldn't be so overwhelming either. The whole pain with this is that it is a matter of scale that in relation to the price of blurt and the number of applications and other functions that have here, this amount is simply large for now. However, there is a chance to disperse it to other users and change the balance of power here.
Yeah, well you know how I feel about promoting (advertising) a garbage product... it's harmful to the platform because it will permanently drive people away. We can't in our right minds promote a corrupt blockchain to investors or creators, knowing they will be harmed by getting involved. Anyone with a brain will look into this place upon hearing about it, and run screaming away, probably forever. I would never recommend a corrupt platform to my friends or family, or even strangers. We must stop the corruption, hypocrisy, and cronyism that is eating away at every corner of Blurt.
If Richarde's abuse, with millions of printed stake, is considered no big deal, why does he do everything possible to stop others from doing it? Why not let it happen if it doesn't matter? Yet when I joined here, and many times since, I have seen that we are expected to NEVER milk the system with comment-farming or circle-jerking, even in tiny amounts. The founders were clear to me when I signed up in my first post, welcoming me here but warning against such antics. Vote for your wife, no problem, they said... just don't vote for your own comments on a regular basis, and don't be a bad curator by making arrangements with other users to vote each other in a circle-jerk. I guess only they're allowed to do this (hypocrisy)?
Maybe I'll start voting all my own comments 100%, instead of giving away the reward pool to real content I see on this blockchain? It's much easier, and if you don't see a problem with it, my tiny amount shouldn't be an issue.
PS: Want to vote all my comments 100%? I'll do the same for you! Save time looking for real content to vote... and make much more money every day! Sound good? ;)
well what can i tell you... i understand your strong sense of justice screaming out loud to do something about it. The problem is that we do not live in a perfect world, and there are never ideal conditions.
On hive corruption, corruption and censorship was due to downvoting, on steem we have a dictator, and here we have corruption in the form of blurtbooster. From my perspective, Blurt is a bit like a town. You have to look at it more broadly in any town you will never eliminate corruption and corruption in 100%, you can only make sure that they are at an acceptable level.
This is because there will always be people who are able to act outside the law and get away with it. Ironically, these are usually people in power, such as the sheriff, the mayor, and the judge.
Does this mean, however, that we are to leave the city and not try to develop it, promote it and act locally so that residents can live better? Of course, it would be ideal to put the mayor and his clit behind bars, but that's not always possible. However, sometimes it is enough to simply deprive him of agency so that his influence is minimal and he cannot continue to cause serious damage.
That's how I see what happened when most Blurtaim lost trust in MD and rycharde a mk and ctime put me or fervi on the first position. What can be done is, for example, if, for example, a few more people like you who can think independently, just took care of participating in the life of the platform, e.g. by becoming a witness, then it would be, for example, whom to vote for and we could veto any unfavorable changes in the blockchain.
And this is really a lot because even though the fake stake will not be removed from the blurt booster, any such modification will not be allowed to come into force again.
setting up own RPC node + image server, own frontend and if it was really hot, what a glue chain separation and how with hive and steem when justin appeared and then it's fun in your own backyard. This is how decentralization works...
And so, bit by bit, acting one way or another, people with the heart on the right side will eventually create a better blockchain.
I think the main mistake in your thinking is that you look at this network as a broken item that needs to be fixed otherwise it is useless, and not as I wrote under the post, @word-travel-pro as an ecosystem or a town.
Blockchain is just servers, lines of code, numbers and stuff, but the real soul of this project is people. See these are the same faces that have already met somewhere on Steem and are sticking to this project until now. It is a certain philosophy, a predilection for specific solutions and a certain hope placed in these solutions that hold them together and have brought them here. So if necessary, there will be another "blurt" to which they will move, if it is not possible to fix the situation here and they will be followed by other people who came here thanks to the promotion ;) The promotion is only so that people for whom this vision of solutions is just right what they were looking for, they found their proper environment.
Blurt is not perfect but is better than hive and steem so there is some progress here.
