revision: after another round of careful review, one user (@jianan) in the previous version of this proposal is not appropriate to be included in the same proposal together with the other users. To be truly responsible to the kind supporters of the proposal, we have removed the user from this proposal. We are really sorry for the inconvenience brought by this change.

A bit more background

As we know, a group of people were excluded from the Hive airdrop because they're "voters who were proxied to accounts which voted for 2 or more sock puppet witnesses on Steem in the time leading up to the Hive hardfork" (detailed here).

Here we propose to fix the mistake of excluding some respectable leaders, contributors and authors in our community, who were proxied their vote to @justyy, but actually not aware of and involved in the community politics.

The people in the list are leaders, contributors and authors who have all made their efforts to grow the Hive community, which should not be ignored and underestimated

Here are introduction to some of them:

• @jademont - committee member of BitShares, one of the earlist Steemit users since 2016, co-founder of WaterDrop Capital and an investor who pushes the development of Graphene technology worldwide.

• @angelina6688 - A bridge engineer with full passion of drawing/painting and sharing life. An active participant and winner of community drawing contests.

• @yellowbird - An engineer loves cryptco investment, writing and sharing, who shared a lot of investment strategy with the community in the past 3 years (and showed people how he lost money...... so others can learn from his failure :P ) . Also shared Hive to outside world with his own blogs.

• @devyleona - works for a bank. An excellent author sharing about food, restaurant, traveling and drawing every day. She loves the awesome community here, and has shared so many amazing experience in her life.

• @cnfund - An amateur novelist who has invested into Hive from its earliest days since 2016, and has introduced a large number of users into the community in the past 4 years.

• @mrspointm & @mrpointp - this lovely couple joined Hive together in the Summer of 2017. They acitvely engaged with the community and were enthusiastic in sharing their life. Both of them enjoy the friendship here, and love the diversity of the Hive community. @mrspointm posts about traveling, food, restaurant and is an actie participant of community activities. @mrpointp writes novels, and shares about fitness, food and daily life. "I have witnessed and the high and low of this platform, but still keep sharing the cool things in my life all the time. Now posting in Hive has become a habit of my life." says @mrpointp.

• @windowglass - a great singer. an active organizer and participant of cn-voice activities. loves recording her moods and daily life via singing songs in cn-voice

• @wongshiying - a glasses sales and certified financial planner. Joined Hive in 2016 as an early investor. A super fan of SplinterLand, and loves sharing about his life and families.

• @xiaoshancun - an office worker, kept at least one post per day in the past 1,000 days, with poem, essays, photography, etc. Knowing the Hive community is one of the happiest thing in his life. He will continue planting in this land of joy.

• @shenchensucc - A father of two boys, an engineer at Canada, joined Steemit from May 2017. He shared a lot about the growth of his kids and nice photography from his traveling within The Rocky Mountains. He also helped a large number of new users to engaging the community.

• @huangzuomin - likes sharing topics about nature, technology, education, etc. He also loves reading and watching movie, and keeps posting high-quality works on the platform.

• @softmetal - a reference scientist and curator of steemstem (now STEMsocial). co-founder of Team CN, which has helped thousands of newbies learn about the platform and engage with the community in past two years.

• @aellly - has a nick name of watermelon due to his large belly. An electronic engineer and a father of three kids. Joined the community from early 2018 and has been actively sharing his drawings with the community. He really enjoys this network, and is happy meeting the diverse and awesome communiy members here. He loves playing SteemMonsters/SplinterLand and won several awards.

• @cheva - a regular contributor of steemstem (now STEMsocial). He believes in the combination of blockchain and science will empower and enlighten ordinary people to bring humankind a better future. A fan of computer technology and computer graphics. A father of a lovely daughter, often posts about his happy family.

• @stepbie - an accountant living in California. Joined Hive together with his lovely wife @tydebbie . This couple have made a lot of great friends here. He has enjoyed playing games e.g. SteemMonsters/SpliterLand and sharing ideas to the entire world.

• @cn-malaysia - a team that had consistently helped hundreds of newbies from Malaysia to join the community smoothly.

What they have done constantly is to build a better community together and help each other to grow faster. Excluding these group of excellent people from Hive are implicitly saying NO to more awesome people like them to join and engage with our open and fantastic community.

All the above 17 people were actually not aware of and involed in the community politics, though they proxied to @justyy

The people proxied to @justyy for the sake of his contribution to the community with his set of tools in https://steemyy.com/ , and the tools indeed helped a large number of users in the community. Due to the obstacles of languages and techniques, these users also knew very little about what’s going on with the witnesses and the community politics in the past few months.

By having a closer look at the accounts, you could also find their records of proxies to @justyy via their account operation history.

Here are the details: (the time is in UTC timezone)

• All the 13 accounts in the next table have proxied their witness vote to @justyy for a long time before Feb 2020 (when the community conflicts start). Hence there's no reason to believe that they enabled the proxy to @justyy to involve in any politics issues that happens months or years later.

• The below 4 accounts have made their proxies in early March. However, they were doing that as users of @justyy’s tool, without the awareness that they could be involved in any conflicts in the community. This was only a coincidence in the timing with community conflicts.

We noticed that @justyy was excluded from the airdrop because he voted three 22.5 witnesses in the time leading up to the Hive hardfork (Mar 20th, 14:00:00 UTC time), as shown in the table below. But @justyy did the vote on Mar 17th, which the 4 above accounts were not able to know on Mar 5th or 8th.

A fair treatment to these mistakenly excluded people is so important and will definitely help us to build a more engaged, diverse and innovative community together.
