In this week's members-exclusive video, I chatted to Dan Notestein, a lead dev for Hive.

Dan goes all the way back to Bitshares days with Dan Larimer – Notestein was employee number 2 in the early days of Delegated Proof of Stake with BitShares, it was just Dan Larimer and Dan Notestein in the beginning.

He also helped bring together the team that launched Hive.

In this interview we dive into the history of Steem, the original chain that Hive forked from. We go into the Steemit inc ninja-mined stake right at the beginning that slowly broke the trust of a lot of the steem community.We talk about the controversy that surrounded the formation of Hive, and the battle with Justin Sun over the top witness spots. And we go into how the Hive tech works – how the distribution of funds to content creators works, the difference between the hive coin, hive power and hive dollar, Hive’s graphene-based blockchain framework and how it differs from other frameworks, and the dApps based on the blockchain.

Dan Notestein is a super interesting guy and was happy to share stories of one of the year’s most contentious forks from his perspective of being right in the middle. I was grateful for unique insight and I learnt a lot about the untold history of Hive.

Paul Puey, the CEO of edgewallet, and I did a deep dive into HIVE on our coinwatch show, so if you’d like to hear Paul’s perspective of the coin and whether or not he’d be interested in investing $100 in it, I’ve posted the link in the show description.
