@orianagua, It is very unfortunate that despite the many wonderful things we have accomplished, the only things you were able to discover are those that you believe negate our efforts. Speaking on behalf of myself and my teammate, Mcsamm, who are currently a team, we were some of the active promoters of Promo-Steem on Steemit, as evidenced by the pictures you have shared highlighting some of the promotional activities we have undertaken to promote both Steemit and Hive.
It is important to note that Steemit (Steemcurators) did not provide funding for any of the projects shown in the pictures you have shared. This can be confirmed with the leaders of Promo-Steem on Steemit, particularly since you are on the verge of uncovering more information. On Steemit, we received rewards that were available to all users who engaged with or promoted the platform. It would be beneficial for you to learn more about Steemit and Steemcurators operation.
Hive is actually more aware of us than you may realize. Many of the Hivers you see here were originally Steemit users who left for Hive following the fork. We made the decision to leave Steemit for Hive when we realized that everything was becoming increasingly centralized around the Steemit team. Despite our departure, we (@mcsamm and @collinz) did not change our usernames.
For the record, @mcsamm and I (@collinz) were never country reps. It is important that you verify your facts. None of the information you have presented is hidden because blockchain technology is immutable. Do you think those you mentioned are not aware? If you are interested in learning more about the funding for the Hive Borehole projects, I suggest you begin by reviewing the proposal which is available for anyone to read.
We played a significant role in onboarding and mentoring new users on Steemit, and were instrumental in building a strong Promo-Steem community. We never implemented harsh rules for newbies, as we (@mcsamm and @collinz) were never country or community representatives. Anyone who has since joined us on Hive did so on their own accord, just like many others who have found their way to Hive after leaving Steemit.
Our preference has always been for a decentralized platform that offers us the freedom to share, work and build communities without the constraints of centralization. The stringent rules imposed by Steemcurators have driven many people to seek a more conducive environment on Hive.
