Minted rewards from voting is not in my plans. There is nothing stopping apps from having voting if they want (such as upvoting comments a la Reddit). But it will not be tied to any token rewarded by the blockchain protocol. There will however be an advantage for voting as compared to Reddit and StackExchange voting.
Why do we need a Steem clone?
The original is always best.
Steem made several major errors in design, marketing, and launch/distribution. The original will not be the best.
@iamnotback I didnt know Ark.io was similar to steem? I read all their website recently (ARK's) and it just sounded like they where making another Etherum to me, but maybe I got it all wrong.
I think it is based on Graphene, so the same DPoS consensus for the blockchain. I haven't looked in much more detail beyond that. I read they were offer rewards via voting, which IMO was one of the major blunders of Steem.
I heard Dan Larimer is working on improving Graphene and launching a new thing. So Ark and Steem will be using an inferior technology.
Re: Why Bitcoin wont hardfork like EthereumSome people spread rumors around, saying that the mining industry will control Bitcoin if BU wins. This is obviously a fallacy, no one can fight against the market unless he possess more money than the market.
As if the market will have any other choice. That was a nice lie.
Now that Bitcoin is at least 51% mined from China, prepare for future regulations to be enforced on all transactions. The reference to Taiwan a subliminal warning to Westerners of their future ass kicking humiliation.
The BU mining cartel admitted it can and will 51% attack when required to.
I warned you all last year. And you all said I was spreading FUD.
When you guys are serious about decapitating the centralized power of the miners, come talk to me.
