昨天看了 @blocktrades 标题为Why I won’t be compromising with Justin Sun帖子，里边提及要分叉出一个新的区块链，但是对一些细节讲的还模糊，今天看到Hive官宣的帖子，里边披露了一些细节问题。

把官宣的帖子大致捋一遍，划了一些重点，旨在传达更多的信息给中文读者，让大家了解一下HIVE到底是什么。

以下为非正式翻译内容：

Hive是什么？

Hive是一个DPOS治理区块链，通过实现现有Steem代码的硬分支来创建。

Hive is a DPOS governance blockchain created by implementing a hard fork of existing Steem code.

Hive 和 STEEM的区别？

Hive是Steem区块链的一个分支，完全独立于现有的链(STEEM)运行。所有有效的帐户上的Steem区块链将收到一份空投HIVE。

Hive is a fork of the Steem blockchain and runs completely independently from the existing chain. All valid accounts on the Steem blockchain will receive an airdrop on Hive.

Hive区块链启动时会发生什么事情？

你将有两个账户，这两个帐户的历史将是相同的，但是从快照点开始，这些帐户将彼此独立。

You will have two accounts: the current one on the Steem, and a new Hive account. The history of these two accounts will be the same, but from the snapshot point onward, the accounts will be independent from one another.

Hive什么时候发布?

Hive区块链将于美国东部时间3月20日(星期五)上午10点发布。快照和空投将在发布时同时（back to back ）进行。

The Hive blockchain launch will be at 10am EST, Friday, March 20th. The snapshot and airdrop will take place back to back at the time of launch.

作为一个STEEM持有者，空投时能得到什么？

所有有效的STEEM用户将会得到当前持有的STEEM资产到HIVE货币的完美镜像，包括STEEM、SBD、SP。

All valid STEEM stakeholders will receive a perfectly mirrored balance of their current STEEM holdings in the new HIVE coin. This will include matching amounts of current liquid STEEM, Steem Power, and SBD.

例如:如果你的STEEM账户有10个STEEM，5个SBD和1000个SP，你的新HIVE账户将有10个HIVE，5个HBD和1000 HP。

For example: if your Steem account has 10 STEEM, 5 SBD, and 1000 SP, your new Hive account will have 10 HIVE, 5 HBD, and 1000 HP.

无需申领，登录即可得可用。

You will not need to claim anything. Simply log in with your existing Steem account details and you will have your new HIVE coins in your wallet and be able to start using the blockchain.

(HIVE空投只在官宣发布时STEEM链的版本上执行）

The Hive airdrop will only be performed on the current version of the Steem blockchain (as of the date of this post). Any "emergency hardforks" performed prior to the airdrop will not be eligible. Further, any exchange that participates in such a hardfork prior to the airdrop date will null and void the ability to participate in the airdrop for its off-chain balance holding customers.

如何访问（发帖，使用钱包）

使用当前STEEM账户/KEY即可访问，前端地址为：https://hive.blog （当前指向STEEM区块链）。

You can access your Hive account by simply logging in on the Hive Network using your existing Steem account keys. The first frontend available will be https://hive.blog. This is currently pointed at the Steem blockchain, but will be switched to Hive at launch time. Other popular interfaces are completing the switch over to Hive or finishing new products, and will be announcing when they are ready to use!

谁在开发HIVE？

目前有超过30名经验丰富的开发者为新的生态系统做出贡献，还有许多致力于Hive多方面的社区成员。

There are currently over 30 experienced developers contributing to the new ecosystem, alongside many committed community members working on multiple aspects of Hive.

HIVE将保持开源。

Hive will remain open source.

测试网在本文发布后可以使用

Testnet will be available after this post is published.

完整的代码库将在3月19日，发布前公开。

The full codebase will move to a public repo on Thursday, March 19th, prior to launch.

有什么改进吗？

为防止治理(或资助)攻击，witness和SPS投票增加了30天的延迟。

To prevent governance (or funding) attacks, a 30 day delay has been added on crediting vests towards witness and SPS votes. Further governance changes will need to be developed alongside the community.

亦即Power Up后，30之后才能用于见证人&SPS投票。

This delay means that after an account “powers up” or stakes funds, there will be a 30 day delay before those vests can be used towards voting on governance (witnesses) or through voting in the SPS. For all other actions, there is no delay and vests are immediately available.

空投包括所有STEEM账户吗？

空投不包括Steemit公司忍者开采股份的账户以及那些积极促成(并公开宣布支持)Steem区块链中心化的账户。

The only accounts who will not be included in the initial airdrop are those containing the Steemit Inc ninja-mined stake, and those who actively contributed to (and publicly declared support for) the centralization of the Steem Blockchain.

这些帐户仍然在HIVE上存在并可加入，但他们将不包括在初始空投。

These accounts can still choose to take part in the new chain and their accounts will exist, but they will not be included in the intial airdrop.

给那些支持STEEM交易的交易所的重要说明

看样子，我所期待的合谈梦已经彻底破灭，分家已经不可避免了，不过对普通用户而言，相当于拥有了两份币（STEEM & HIVE），貌似也不错。

分家已不可避免？Hive官宣划重点。
