Strengthening, not supporting. Remove the beliefs and politics since that did not play a role.
All witness votes were still in place when the chain was forked. Have a look at the Hive witness list. Those sock puppet accounts are still there. They needed to force those sock puppet accounts far down the list, right? So how would you do that? Am I missing something or is removing the stake backing those sockpuppet witness accounts the only way?
I criticized the 1000 SP threshold. I suppose there are many small accounts which voted for > 1 Sun puppets, which are not on the blacklist because they only have a small amount of Steem Power. This arbitrary threshold causes those attackers, who definitely strengthened the attack, since the do have stake, just not that much, to not end up on the blacklist. What I want to say, is that I would prefer to have either none of the non-stinc accounts on the blacklist, or all of them (that voted the Sun puppets of course)
So there's a exclusion list. A hostile takeover that needed to be weakened. It didn't need to be weakened all the way. And who wants to deal with an even longer exclusion list? This short list has already caused a stir.
I've been around for nearly four years. The narrative would have been spun into "Oh my god! Look what they did to the little guy! They hurt the little guy! Look how mean they are!" And that would have all been bullshit, but people have a fancy way of believing bullshit if it suits their twisted narrative. I've already seen some petty arguments and a lot of common sense thrown out the door by people who were on the list because of an error. Imagine all those folks whining about ten bucks.
But why did the 1000 SP threshold get setup and not a 10000 or even 100000 SP threshold. All of those would've weakened the attack more than sufficiently.
That also includes the belief that small stake is completely unimportant. This threshold is a political thing that should've not existed.
Either attack-supporting stake is removed, or it isn't. What we have now, is a half-solution, caused by political thinking, and beliefs.
Nobody said that. What you're doing is called SPIN. I'm stepping out of this conversation now because I know it won't lead anywhere due to the fact you're attempting to twist things out of shape by placing words in mouths and thoughts in minds that aren't yours.
I wish you all the best. Have a nice day.
Yeah that was rather unfortunate wording - what I wanted to say is that this includes the belief that small stake does not contribute enough to the attack in order to be relevant. Also, not putting the small accounts on the blacklist, because they would be whining around is 100% political.
Have a nice day too.
Ugh...
The code selecting those little accounts wouldn't be the one making it political, it would be all those haters out there who like to twist things out of shape and make all these folks on Hive appear to be DEMONS. That's who would be making it about politics. That's who would be spinning it like that. USING the little guy, acting like saviors, to make the Hivers look bad. I'm not saying that's why they weren't added to the list. I'm saying if they were, those sadistic son of a bitches would have used it as ammo when they feel like making Hive look bad.
Almost like what it appears you're doing, but worse.
Quit the spin. It's annoying. LOL! Seriously though. I gotta run. Have a good day.
