Hi @glory7,

I agree with you and as you pointed out, a lock so neither can create another fork is what I think is best atm as well. Justin Sun stake should of never been forked. There's no legal proof shown to date that suggest his stake isn't his to do with as he pleases. The witnesses fired the first shot and Justin Sun responded.

The man spent millions and has multiple resources at hand that STEEM(it) could of benefited from. The witnesses waited a handful of days after the AMA and then forked JS stake, that's not a long time to wait for a person who just invested millions into the STEEM coin.

Issues: Steemit potentially moving to TRON.
So what, Just Sun bought it and he can do what he wants with it. Steemit isn't STEEM.

Issue: Just Sun potential token Swap.
So what, anyone can offer a token swap. Its up to the community to accept or decline... Some will and some won't.

Issue: Ninja Mined Stake
Its been in ecosystem since the start. If the witnesses wanted to fork it, they should of done it long ago. To fork only the ninja mined stake from one specific person who just spent millions on it is a shitty thing to do.

Issue: Exchanges get envolved, this is obviously not good for a multitude of reasons and should not of been done under any circumstances.

Conclusion: I think this all could of been avoiding and the soft fork of JS ninja mined stake was premature. I have my fingers crossed the situation works out for the best, for everyone envolved.
