I'm comparing Hive to Steem because they are the closest networks to compare to. You could also compare Hive to other dPoS chains and I'd be very interested to compare those for distribution.
Comparing to Bitcoin is silly and you know this. Bitcoin is the most decentralized cryptocurrency there is. Of course Steem, or any dPoS system, will not compare to it. The dollar though? It's more centralized than Steem so I'm not sure why that was included.
The guy comparing the dollar to actual distributed networks is calling someone else an idiot...
I wish we could have had an actual debate about stake distribution in dPoS networks. I guess that wouldn't go well with the narrative of this post so I don't blame you for backing down. Hope you have a good day!
You must be ate up getting called out by me to still be responding. The cool part is I can make that comment and be downvoted but not have to worry that here JSun will censor it from appearing in a block. There's your decentralization.
What happens when contents are not in the block though? What stops witness nodes from choosing to decline accepting operations as Steem witnesses have done for other account operations in the situation with @darthknight?
As for blacklists I have little issue with them. It's up to each site to determine what they'd like to show on their own domain. As long as the data can make it to the block then I have little issue. If I find that peakd.com is censoring content that I find valuable then I'll either move to Hive.blog or spin up my own condenser. Do you think you should have to display everything a user uploads to d.tube?
