RE: Curation reward issue - New tools for our users - Donating our curation rewards

in About PeakD3 years ago

This experiment wasn't designed with success in mind.
Soon™ the shine will be off the toy and we will have to float without bourgeois disposable income as a means of support.
The people that launched this will take their leave.
It is inevitable.

That won't be the end of the hive, just the easy price support.

Don't kid yourself, just because they have gone silent doesn't mean they don't still control enough coins to tank the project, if they wanted to do that.

Ned said he was hiding his stake when they threatened to fork is ass out, I refuse to believe that somebody that sets themselves up with 80% of the coins lets enough go to not still have control over what is happening, if only silently.
Somebody owns the 1/3rd of the hive on exchanges.

There are still people here from the launch, just most of the stincy ones are gone.
Not all, yet.

The current frontends are so basic and static..

You are using peakd.com?

It's funny how this thing is essentially imitating real world societies.

Yes, it was designed to expose that, and help fix it.

I mean, what would have been if ned and his ilk hadn't kneecapped us?
We were the number 3 coin.

We are just now getting to where we don't have to look over our shoulder, or bite our tongues.
Our accounts are not on the line like they once were for having a dissenting opinion.

Not that it might be so clearly visible to you.

Meh, the tech is sound, only a matter of time and persistence.

I get their butt hurt, they create this thing that has made many millionaires, many 100thousandaires, a few more thousandaires, and all they get is guff about how it's not better.
We forked out the co-founder for god's sake.

With friends like stinc, we didn't need any enemies.

Meh, we had all that mass migration coming in 2016-17, stinc kneecapped it.
Now we have to climb that hill, too.
Mass adoption isn't the plan, network effect is the plan, and that can work with far fewer users than even MySpace had.

We needed a golden boy and got ned, instead.
