HF21 sucks bigtime, but was somewhat expected. HF22 seemed okay, but was unexpected downtime. What are we calling this latest one? Not HF23, but... "the 48 hour can't-divide-by-zero surprise patch"?
Really not on a roll, from what I've seen. A lot of people seem pretty ticked off at how things continue to go here. Unexpected downtime is a definite hard limit for so many people. Investors are mad, content-creators are mad, developers are mad, and the public is avoiding this place like the plague. We're developing a really terrible reputation, and I kind of understand why. This place may have been able to rest on its groundbreaking programming in 2016, but the years are ticking by and we've gone nowhere but downhill (and slightly sideways) since then. We need to do better. We had such potential!
That madness you talk about is from my point of view not necessary. Systems do change on long terms and that needs patience and calmness. Seems, you think that, too?
I tried several times to propose alternative mechanisms - still do :) If you would like to have a look, read here: https://steemit.com/steemit/@erh.germany/the-usage-of-voting-buttons-reload
I'd like you to participate in that experiment I proposed.
Not sure where you've been, @drutter, but you must have missed MIRA's release. That little thing from STINC that dealt with STEEM scalability. Something that virtually no other crypto has done, so that STEEM continues to be just about the fastest and cheapest blockchain out there. Oh by the way the testnet is open to all. Did you do much testing before complaining like someone around here owes you something?
As you know, I was here for MIRA. But as you forget, I have zero understanding of pretty much anything you just said. I'm a content-creator and that's pretty much it around here. Cheer up, you might not be underwater forever.
Is that some kind of investment lingo?
For transparency sake, my investment approach is that of a HODLer. My investment cryptfolio is all in PoW coins, as DPoS seems too susceptible to corruption to be considered for investment, in my humble opinion. My interest in STEEM is
for non-investment reasons.
My big buy in to STEEM was at 3275 BTC satoshi. It brought my account up to Dophin status and left 1000 STEEM which was gifted to my daughter and Son-In-Common-Law to start their STEEM journey as Minnows.
That buy in cost approximately 0.18 BTC or approximately $1800 at today's trading value. Through the magic of inflation and stake based voting rewards, this account is now showing an Estimated Account Value in US dollars of $1,449.55 even though STEEM's value in the BTC pairing has dropped and 1000 STEEM was given away.
The biggest buy in to my Bitcoin investments was done in the bear market of 2015 at $330 CAD. Prior to that doubling down all my other coins were obtained when one could still mine BTC using a graphic card.
Hope that clarifies my cryptfolio so that you can, at least, not make idiotic innuendos.
So you do understand what I meant by underwater, then. You got REALLY mad. Good thing you're rich and awesome though, carry on.
