The funds on SBD potato are mostly idle on Steem due to SBD being over 1 USD most of the time, in the meantime I decided to delegate a portion of the fund on the Dlease market to users seeking delegation, the daily Dlease payouts come back to SBD potato and not to myself personally, there is a portion of fees that dlease earns, but I'm not about to go and request dlease be recoded to exlude fees from that account, if you bother to work it out the 10% dlease benefits is a tiny monthly amount and after that gets shared out to BUILDTEAM token holders and shareholders, if I benefit 100 Steem per month from that myself is probably too much, so please stop over-inflating the 10% dlease profit, it is almost nothing.
I also find it interesting how hive actors all abandoned their projects on Steem and shut down crucial services and tools without regard to the Steem community, they also spammed the Steem chain and openly attacked it, to the point they got their funds wiped but now when it suits them they hold me to uphold my promise to Steem so they can discredit me.
Hbdpotato is running again and helping HBD get back to parity as we speak.
The implied term of trust and confidence was breached on Steem by the Justin Sun takeover and heist of stakeholder funds, equally the same confidence has been breached on Hive by the continued attacks on Blurt and on my person even when I was active in Hive as mentioned.
It is precisely that I am a good actor that I have not drained these accounts for my benefit, but I am largely conflicted about sending them to the DAO or burning them for the benefit of platforms that actively seek to harm others.
I have considered alternatives like donating them to efforts like Curie or giving them out in Robin-hood style to nice people still within the community who support freedom and renounce tyranny. While Blurt remains under attack I feel that I should steward these funds as security for the time being.
It does not matter how much it is, even if it's 0.001 STEEM, you are still "deriving monetary value" from this project, and breaking the promise give to Steem stakeholders & community.
"As custodian of this project I, @thecryptodrive, will not derive any monetary value therefrom and undertake this under my duty as Steem consensus witness and ambassador."
I already proposed the solution in my post (Decentralizing Hive dApps: HBD Potato) and opened a pull request on Github, so you don't have to worry about not having devs to do it.
You received a lot of those funds from DAO, it should be returned.
They are NOT your funds, they were trusted to you by the Steem community with only one purpose: keeping the SBD peg. You can't just use them for something else.
Funds in SBDPotato and HBDPotato have nothing to do with Blurt. Even if Blurt is attacked 24/7, they should be either used to keep the peg or returned to DAO.
HBD/SBD work, right?
So really this isn't necessary, right?
He's alright.
What's your fascination with attacking blurt anyhow?
lol, I'm not attacking blurt. I'm just saying blurt and HBD/SBD potato are completely separated projects, so funds shouldn't be used for something else just because blurt is attacked.
I don't have anything against Blurt (apart from disagreement with a few small details (no downvotes, pretty centralized governance)), and I never tried to attack it.
Remember the days when you found the exploit in the Minnowbooster withdrawals and drained the fund, fun times! Nice to see you develop morals since then.
I precisely remember voicing concerns about your #HBDPotato initiative for this reason..
I'd like to see what you are doing with #Blurt, #DLease and the other #BuildTeam projects, but keeping the 200,000 HP that you said you would NOT derive monetary value you from, is a crime IMO 😔
lolz I mean, no.
Somehow I can't see any crime arising from his choice to do exactly as he stated with airdropped funds that he holds the key to.
He has done exactly as he said he would.
That's what he always does.
That's what makes him the damn finest partner I've had in any endeavor I've ever pursued.
Ummm, he said he would in no way profit from it, and is earning some $ from it every month now.
I don't have anything against him personally, I just think he's be better off returning the HIVE + Steem or burning it, instead of using it

I was going to start posting once a day to #Blurt via the @dbuzz account, but got cold feet after reading a post about @thecryptodrive Powering Up the HIVE he said was "intended to keep the HBD/SBD peg"
Posted via D.Buzz
Maybe he did, maybe he didn't.
How about wblurt?
I never had anything to do with wBlurt, while its code was based on Wrapped Hive, it was modified by wehmoen and I never saw its final source code or had access to its server.
So you did not attack wblurt?
No
Someone was, probably @edicted.
Could always be some other asshole though.
Let's narrow my "scope of attack" list down to key items:
See how I'm handling this now?
wait, you have evidence that edicted did it, or are you claiming that because he wrote it in the post as a joke in response to the reward for finding who did it?
Don't worry about it.
Some people don't know what false confessions are.
I don't trust anything he says.
There's kinda-maybe-sorta circumstantial evidence.
Pls allow me to amend the above to reflect my actual position.
i seen it as a joke about the reward. i seen it that way first time i read it with knowing that anything is even happening on blurt. so it was an informational post.
@theycallmedan made a suggestion to @thecryptodrive which he shared with me to address the "hot potato" which is hbdpotato. With minor changes to terms, it looks good.
@thecryptodrive will share more details at a time of his choosing, but I'm just gonna go ahead and state:
Blurt loves hive
... and any place really working hard for free, open internet content. ALL of those places have our love.
Blurt hates assholes
