There would have never been an error if the exclusion list was left to the steemit accounts originally blocked during softfork 22.2.
More accounts just had to be added. Why were those with less than 1000sp safe? Why was it maximun 2 fake witnesses? Isn't 17 required. Face it a lot of these decisions were not technical. So what does that make them? Centrally decided by people who created Hive is my best guess.
From a technical standpoint, none of these accounts needed their Hive removed, as just removing Steemit stake would have shifted the balance more than enough to get 17 proper witnesses back and make it expensive to launch another attack.
Even if technicaly difficulties remained, it could have just been held back for a few months until we could fix things.
Someone carefully selected the additional targets and made the punishment permanent for reasons that aren't related to the technical workings of the blockchain. To say there were no political elements or beliefs involved is at least equally as deceptive as saying it was mostly bssed on that.
Even with the criteria explained within the post linked within the post above, you'll still continue on with your beliefs and politics? I find that behavior to be quite peculiar.
What could be more damaging? The facts? Or an opinion that denies facts?
To be clear I'm happy they are recieving their airdrop because of a computer code error. I just think it was a mistake to deny them and the other non-hive accounts an airdrop in the first place.
How does this opinion deny the facts?
The exclusion list was never meant to be interpreted as a final decision. Want to know how I know?
The included appeal process.
I wonder if there would have been hiccups in the code if accounts were voting for accounts in a position that no longer exists. Those sockpuppet accounts. Why include those and the voters if you're removing that hostile takeover element?
Once the dust settles, those voters can then appeal for the airdrop. Many deserve it and would receive it. Especially when someone like you votes for that decision, since it's what you want.
There's no mistake. Was it messy? Sure. I'll say it was handled poorly, but mostly due to a lack of proper communication. Far too many impatient people. Far too many twisted narratives. It made it damn near impossible to actually explain this all without the words sounding like they're coming form the devil. Even now as I try to explain to you, I've been having trouble getting through because of the wall of beliefs you've placed between us.
Fair enough. It isn't perfect (which is actually what I want to help with) and I do wish they had announced a timeline of...say 13 weeks. However infairness full details of the appeal haven't been made public left, which is also why I want some of my opinions considered or heard.
You could be right about hiccups in the code, and that would help explain a lot amd support your argument that it isn't about punishment. If anything, maybe it was easier and not worth the risk in finding out.
I'm glad no one is disagreeing with the right to appeal. There are a few concerns - does their future stake count towards yes. Also is there a NO side to beat so we can record positions? I'm hoping there is at east a no side and if it is razor thin, we consider their forfieted influence.
I do agree it is messy and complicated. The decision was made in haste amd for good reason. Now is a chance to tryband clear up confusion amd misunderstandings. I'm not here to make factual events confusing. I'm here to make people question if no airdrop is justified (punishment fits the crime). If the bloclchain is still under threat, yeah don't do it, but I think we are safe now.
That one cracks me up. LOL!
Wait for the dang facts! Then form opinions. Jeez you guys... What good is hearsay and gossip leading to conspiracy theory? Twisted narratives combined with the 'guessing game' is what got us all in this mess to begin with! Silly humans. When will you learn...
Have a good day, dude.
Lol it does sound ridiculous. My meaning is more to help influence and design of the appeal not to speculate.
I remember you saying too much is discussed off chain and on discord. I imagine that is where much of the design is taking place.
I'm glad we are having discussion here even if it is enduring, visible and harder for me to eat my words.
