I remember, that I not always agree with you (for example about SBD), but stil your opinion was meaningful for me and for many other people here.
I believe, the solution is... to separate more Steem and Steemit. Steem should belong to community, and this mean, that community should decide about direction of development.
That's why right now I am working on Steem.Vision: https://github.com/noisy/steem.vision
This is going to be Poll/Survey service build on top of Steem blockchain
this will be like https://steemit.com/@clayop/voting-test-do-you-think-changing-to-a-flattened-curve-is-urgent
but with custom interface, and... the most important, deep analytics:
- how whales/dolphins/minnows voted
- how voted people which mostly writes comments vs. mostly authors vs. mostly voters
- how people which powered up in last month voted in compression to people which are powering down
and..
something what can be helpful for witnesses:
how supporters of particular witness voted for particular question
steem.vision will be mostly asking people about vision and future of Steem blockchain. This should help block or force certain features.
I believe, that it takes time to organize everything. Steemit probably will be driving force for a while.... but we as a community need to prove, that we have voice, that we can block unwanted hardforks or introduce own changes.
This is just brilliant.
Yay for proactive solutions oriented input
Yes you can :) I think we need to do that :) I've seen 2 really hard forks and most people are gone by now :| it's been just half a year for me, which is too soon :)
remember in Oslo, a Steem Foundation was mentioned ;) @noisy
about your poll system could you have a look to this doc, i talk about a decision making tool like Loomio.org but using the blockchain : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1C5J7woOVkYlxyBffB8YEx56kq_ZUQKeBZO9QsppG0zA/edit?usp=sharing
transparency at it's finest
Agree... On the other hand.. steemit is still beta version. Just speak up to make this community better. Nice ! :)
