I don't completely agree with this opinion. There were still users on hive and steam who thought that Blurt was an interface of one of these second-layer token blockchains.
This is when blurt was created three years ago.....
I remember receiving this coin on all my steemit accounts from @blurtofficial account on steemit with the said memo.
So I think old steemit users who are the interest of our discussions are fully aware of blurt existence as a fork from steem.
I still think that their non existence on blurt is a matter of interest which can be clarified by giving them due notifications to claim their airdrop before we initiate any burning for dormancy.
I am open to further clarifications if you think I am making a wrong assertion.
yes, but I'm thinking about another type of user. we also have many accounts of people who gave up steem and moved to hive and they no longer use steem but they are not doing well on hive, and there are also people who also gave up hive min due to downvotes.
However, there is a good chance that if they were interested in this product in the past but did not like on hive or steem an aspect that, for example, we do not have (like a downvotes), they are still our target group in advertising. Some of these people are sometimes unaware that blurt is not another frontend for steem or hive, but a separate network.
there is also a good chance that if the price and market situation for blurt strengthens, some users who are now undecided because, for example, they are worried about losing their income from hive (because on hive some people who post here and here are harassed by downvotes or some people stop posting support) will move to us and one of the deciding factors may be the fact that their old account still has some funds.
What you said is 100% true because
I remember receiving complains from two of my favorite nigerian writers @princessbusayo and one other person, her username just skipped my memory.They both said they stopped receiving support on hive after their voters found out they were posting actively on blurt and so they left blurt for hive.
However, I believe it is a matter of which coin has more value and this also proves we have been having spies all along from our sister blockchain and this spies will always be ready to dump their airdropped tokens to force blurt price down.
So I believe people like this my friend and those who refused to claim their airdrop can come back to blurt if blurt price appreciates more than their expectations. I also believe that they'll be ready to start afresh because blurt has an enabling platform for all new users to grow rapidly. Their non existence at this time can be linked to the fact that they do not believe blurt has the capacity to grow extensively as it is doing now, so raising complains of not seeing their airdrops at that time will likely not happen and if it does, we will defend it as a united act for safety of the blockchain which they know they abandoned.
Therefore, I fear the harm from the dumping that will come from this dormant accounts (whose major interest is in the token that pays more, rather than the blockchain that has more friendly value) will make all of this our efforts empty and regrettable.
So, I still feel that the best thing to do is to give them benefits of doubt by notifying them properly before initiating any burning rather than not burning dormant tokens at all.
I had never heard of blurt and had no idea it existed at all till @offgridlife sent me the link when I was frustrated with hive.
