DLive has scalped the Steem network and bowed out with their fancy $20mil cash grab garbage chain ICO. Greed is lame. Wash your hands, y'all! Here's how.
CLICK THIS --> https://v2.steemconnect.com/revoke/@dlive.app
Then follow the instructions, job done!
You can check to make sure that Dlive is no longer an authority on your account by visiting https://www.steemd.com/@yournamegoeshere
For example, I'm at https://www.steemd.com/@matt-a/ and you can see my account authorities on that page like this:
If dlive is no longer in your authorities section, you're good to go. Sleep well.
Cooler stuff is already in the works, for example, like https://vimm.tv/ and on the other hand, I hear tale that https://d.tube/ has live streaming now. FRET NOT. These dudes were turds, flush 'em!
That's all!
EDIT: While you're at it, go flag their post here: https://steemit.com/dlive/@wa7/dlive-is-joining-the-lino-blockchain-moving-away-from-steem They don't deserve any reward on any level.
It's a shame they felt they had to leave and I wonder how that will work out for them. I only used them because they were on steem and it was just convenient. They will lose a lot of users. At least we have alternatives
Thanks for keeping steem in check, being new its hard for me to trust on peoples content, as soon as I saw you in the comments I knew I could trust the post.
I don't think that they care about a userbase. They had an ICO, made $20 mil off of hopes and dreams of people, and now in their eyes, there job is done. They have been paid, and they can and will get away with it. They issued a token on ETH and will take the money and run most likely. That's what nearly everyone else does anyways since there are no repercussions. It's like that South Park episode: Start up, cash in, sell out, bro down. Fuck 'em.
Damn. You're probably right. Makes me feel kind of silly asking them to tell the truth on their last post; I didn't realize they'd made that huge of a sum. Unbelievable. It's the total lack of integrity that galls me.
Yeah . . . It's a bit gross and to me, abundantly apparent what they're doing/going to do. Again, I say fuck 'em. We'll build something better.
It won't do their reputation much good if they want to do anything else. 20 million is nice, but small beer in the IT world. I expect we'll see a lot more money grabbing. Greed is a powerful force
....
I can't believe they'd pull that one off, that's cunny of them I'd give them that, I'm tired of people who come here to milk STEEM and get fat off it, then toss the blockchain aside for "greener pasture" as they call it
Thanks for spreading the word @matt-a, and what a bummer @dlive!
Actually I'm quite relaxed with regards to DLive's future. Charles Wayn alias @wa7 just did a huge mistake, and I bet he already realizes that. Apparently he launched his good-bye post without even informing Steemit, Inc previously. That's not only unprofessional, it's absolutely disrespectful and against any type of business ethics.
The crypto world is still in its infancy, and news are spread quite fast. I don't believe any smart person in this world would want to cooperate with someone untrustworthy and disloyal like Kent at any time.
The Steem community doesn't even need to worry about that. We can just move on and let go, since he's gonna pay the bill quite soon.
Let's focus on being awesome! :-)
Happy weekend
Good riddance to them because of the unethical deed that they had done to steem. @matt-a
"Dirty deeds done dirt cheap" Eh
I personally try stay out of these sorts of things as I sit neutral and do my own thing, bring some content to Steemit, curate others when I can and overall just want things to go well for all. I don't have a job and while I am a gamer at heart and love what I do, bringing the content and being rewarded allows the bit of extra cash to help out here and IRL. Shame they couldn't stay and upvote people with good content, but these things happen.
I don't have dlive in my list, however, what are the side effects of not doing this ? I mean, what harm they(or any other dapp) potentially can cause ?
Well, it's according to what permissions they requested. I don't think that they had permission to move funds, but I'm pretty sure they had posting rights which (I think) entails the ability to upvote/downvote posts as well. I'm not saying or even thinking that they would use it, but I feel better simply revoking it as kind of a message.
Thank you @matt-a
No problem! Glad to help.
Luckily I just stuck with d.tube and never tried dlive!! Somehow, d.tube just seemed better and easier to me!!
It is bad that some people are just out to make a quick buck at the expense of others and don't stick it through for the long run and actually build something good over time.
D.tube can be pretty flakey sometimes. One of the drawbacks of IPFS. They definitely need some work and I'm hoping that they can get that in. Vimm.TV is just starting out, so I have my eye on that one as well. Hoping that they all flourish!
I have not heard of Vimm.TV will check them out.
i unhid their post just so i could flag it! 😎
That's how ya do 'er!
Most platform using the steem blockchain is just here to reap the rewards of the steem blockchain for their selfish needs. It is a shame that dlive will act in such a debasing way. Let watch what the future holds for them
Well yeah but I think what steemit is doing is actually pave the way to develop a platform where that changes organically and douche moves like this have their consequences, I doubt it will ever be perfect but its a fight worth fighting.
Thanks, I was wondering vow to do this.
Anytime!
Thank you for the reminder. But also I am guessing after they move to LINO all connections with the STEEM Blockchain will be automatically revoked because it will be removed from their code no? But well... Just in case eheheh done it :)

Who knows what will transpire? But to be safe, I'd suggest revoking ASAP. It has been proven that they aren't to be trusted . . . I have no respect for them.
Yeah I just revoked it. Thank you for the reminder once again. I am still trying to get over it 😪😥 Because I have always liked the platform itself and it is so sad the way everything went down. 😐 Now I just want to move on. Anyway I have always been more team @dtube because I have been there since the beginning and was at Dtube where I have regain my love for creating video. We gotta keep creating 😍

You're welcome. Yeah, you always have https://d.tube/ and https://vimm.tv/ so there's no shortage of services at the moment! I'm sure more competition will arise, too. I'm not worried :).
Yeah all of this end up being positive for Vimm.tv I have seen quite a lot of buzz around it. Still haven't check it out... But I bet they are the most happy People with all this situation eheheh. It is always good to see new platforms on the blockchain growing and getting more traffic. 😍

STOP"greed is lame" coming from the guy that makes 5 STU on a negative opinion that bears virtually no true value, while the REAL content creators are making pocket change. Perfect example of how to milk the #steem system. Go ahead and flag me, it's the truth and you know it.
Yeah, like I've described to you about 4 or 5 times now, I upvoted myself to that level to ensure I was protected from the inevitable incoming flags from braindead zombies with no reading comprehension or independent thought (e.g. you) would bring to the table. I get people like you, people who don't ever invest in the platform, PAID. I get you PAID by investing MY money into THIS platform and voting SELFLESSLY to get YOU rewarded for things that YOU do for FREE elsewhere that I could utilize to PAY MYSELF instead of YOU. But I do it in the spirit of the network to help this all become a reality.
Look how big of a piece of shit I am:
Sorry man, well not really, but you're stupid . . . like, as hell.
Flag ya? Ok, have a 100%'er. Get mad.
Fuck off, bum. Enjoy the fool you've made of yourself!
