Hi guys!!!
I liked STEEM, but I love... HIVE, the STEEM fork. I also started PowerDown on STEEM, to move to HIVE... but that's another story!
I am not here to introduce myself, and to tell you what I do, and what I have done, what I like and what I do not like about STEEM and HIVE.
I'm a mannequin and maybe it's my first serious post since 2017.
I want to go straight to the point.
When HIVE was launched I said to myself, "Well the name is not that bad ...", but I wasn't sure at brand level ... in fact I asked myself: "What if I search “HIVE” in Google?!? How many relevant and irrelevant results will I get?!?”
Which I didn't do that day.
Try to search for "HIVE BLOCKCHAIN" in Google!
Here is the result:
... it's not really what I wanted to see!
As you can see it is not HIVE.io ... but HIVE Blockchain Technologies LTD. since 2017 ... and it's not HIVE-tuna-pasta-technologies, but a company that deals with blockchain!

It does not end here…
"HIVE BLOCKCHAIN REQUESTS CEASE AND DESIST FROM NEW STEEM COMMUNITY HARD FORK USING SAME NAME"
Here is the link:
https://hiveblockchain.com/news/hive-blockchain-requests-cease-and-desist-from-new-steem-community-hard-fork-using-same-name/
I know... this is an old news (March 2020) and what else can I say?!?!? I understand their point.
I also went back to @roelandp's post to see if there was any info... but I only found @amico 's comment with an interesting link:
https://www.coindesk.com/steem-fork-faces-legal-threat-from-mining-firm-over-hive-name
And I also found this:
https://cointelegraph.com/news/canadian-miner-hive-blockchain-issues-cease-and-desist-to-steem-fork-hive
The choice of the name was not that clever, but I don't want to add anything else.
Actually, I do have an idea: NoNamesLeftToUse-blockchain ;-)
I'm just kidding @nonameslefttouse :-)
Let's avoid the comments like... "sue Steemitri, he's just a mannequin!" or "sue the community ..." etc. etc.
Has this been mentioned before? Maybe I missed some posts, I don’t know.
I usually don't, but this time I will tag some accounts:
