While we need a basic MVP to prepare for unpredictable events, I reckon a fork that prevents this existential threat to Steem will require careful consideration, meticulous work, and careful testing, and that all takes time.
That's what we need too.
I expect Tron to keep acquiring Steem until it has enough to force consensus, and then fork immediately to commit the NCP and proxy.token. If we want to end up on whatever fork of Steem Tron bungles up, then we don't need these guys discussing what to do.
I don't. I want these guys taking action as needed to make a fork we can be proud of landing on when the SHTF, because it probably is going to, and sooner than later.
You might pick a different team for this task. Have you thought about doing that? I know you're technically competent, far beyond my ability to judge. What do you think can be done to prepare for Tron forking Steem all up?
Tron doesn't need any SP to execute a hard fork since they have the main RPC nodes and pretty clear support from exchanges.
Having SP helps them do it the "normal" way. And frankly idk if anyone told Sun there are more options.
This team isn't a bad team. I just have it on high authority they are not going to make a short term fork of Steem for the community.
They may or may not even ever make a chain. As it stands they just want to rethink the protocol. I think a lot of us want that.
But nothing actionable will come from this team in the short term.
Thank you for sharing your informed understanding.
