You kind of lost me in the technical data but, have you noticed that whoever wrote that underlined phrase actually wrote Steam instead of Steem. He would have been flagged hears ago if doing that on a blog post. They kind of sign their doom papers for the blockchain for such attitudes. Are you on their list as well? Don't remember the exact list of personas non grata...

They can't even spell "Steem" properly.
I fully expect the Steem blockchain to crash. Justin Sun is both a tyrant and an idiot. 
@jpbliberty will look at the option of a class action lawsuit.
But make sure you are signed up for the current Crypto Class Action against Facebook & Google because they caused much more damage than Justin Sun and they are not idiots.

tron idiots will be the reason the whole legacy system will have a closer look at DPoS. I hope other infrastructures are as decentralized as they have to be. or else it means trouble, not only for HIVE.

they could do this if they creat NEW STEEM coin. yesterday i was wondering are they that stupid to try and delete coins from the chain, and it looks like they are.
If the list is true, i seen roundbeargames there, and he had nothing to do with spam, code of hive, or what ever was there on their stupid list of reasons. he was just against the actions Koreans did. 
So if exchanges don't run the code, will we have another coin?
also, they had to send the code to exchanges. could not someone get that code from them and make it public?

Steam users wow that shows how well they know the blockchain this is going to act opposite of what they are thinking this time

Steem becomes Steam. According to the dictionary this process is called "Steamit".
Fact.

One question I have if anyone can help... 

Are the funds being deleted (I keep seeing people use that word), or transferred to another account that is owned by steemit? If it’s the latter - how  are they able to transfer the funds without the private keys of the users? Do they first null the account and then the funds are available to be transferred? That’s the one piece of this I’m still trying to get my mind around! Thanks for the help!

The post doesn't discuss how they are going to get exchanges to run their closed-source hard fork. It does say (auto-translated):

> **There are people who talk about the possibility of separating the hard fork chain.**
> Currently, the main Witnesses are expected to go to 23.0 under agreement. The code is also shared by contacting the exchange. If there are witnesses who do not update to 23.0, they will create a chain that is forked to version 22.0 among themselves. Of course, there is no change to apply to 23.0 in the chain. Theoretically, if there are enough Witnesses running 22.0 code, it's not without Steam's possibility to split the chain

Even if all witnesses move to the hardfork, that doesn't mean exchanges will. Exchanges could potentially face liability for supporting code that seizes user assets. This hardfork is so far outside of the established norms for an open blockchain, that I suspect many exchanges will want nothing to do with it. If that's the case, the hardforkers will essentially create a new token with no exchange listings and very little value.

I'm interested to see how this plays out.

The post mentions an upcoming Blurt hardfork based off of Steem by @birdinc. Here's the source code at https://gitlab.com/blurt/blurt. Also at https://twitter.com/BlurtOfficial:

> Blurt is a fork of the Steem blockchain that begins operating on or before July 4th, 2020 with Steem balances taken in a snapshot at block 43526969.


So is this a counter-fork to keep a version of Steem going that isn't so irreparably tainted? Does anyone expect BLURT to have value?

Is https://joind.io/market/id/2098 a post on the Steem blockchain or is `joind.io` a website that hosts content separately from Steem?

If they actually plan to lock investments of people, then, that would be cruel. I wonder why they look at Hive as a platform that stole their property, when in the real sense Hive only excluded nuisances from an airdrop. Anyway, time will tell.

I saw your name on the list, I hope you have been powering down all along and taking out all you can?

This is by far the most heinous crime ever committed on a POS chain. It is nothing but broad daylight robbery. My heart melted when I read the announcement. I hope you guys can take legal actions against Sun. 

Long live Hive. Is there anything the Hive community can do to compensate or support the affected accounts? Cheers!

The SEC ruled Ethereum a security because of its decentralization. Steem is no longer decentralized and thus a security if the SEC were asked. Steemit, Inc, a company registered in the US, has total control over the blockchain. By stealing the coins, Justin Sun is now committing security fraud, a serious crime that may result in a prison sentence. I wonder if China would extradite him if he got a prison sentence. The most likely result of this is that Tron is forced to pay those whose balances were frozen OTC for their stake at a higher price than those account holders would've been able to sell their coins through exchanges.

So people that run a blockchain can just take your money, am I getting this right?

I just found out that my hunt tokens has been frozen and my acc blacklisted. The only reason for such action can be fund in me supporting the split and criticism about them being pathetic for supporting centralization. What a bunch of morons, they literally banned me and stole my funds for not sucking justins dick.

To wrap it up:
The only thing Steem devs and witnesses achieved in about 2 month is extending an array of user, change a parameter from 13 to 3 and put label `0.23` on it and call it next major release?

Really good job!

Thank for information  😊

How much total steem will be deleted? This will also reduce their market cap. 

Why did they keep saying _STEAM?_ They don't even know the name of what they own LOL! Hilarious!

I wonder if I'm on their naughty list as they are flagging anything I do there. It's not like I can do them serious damage. Meanwhile they ignore the big abusers. 

totally immature and you guys should definitely go to court over this
