i remember getting kicked from that very slack after coming up with whalecoins w/ matias from bitshares and asking ned and others if they wanted one. that was when i still thought i was surrounded by visionary synergistic badasses in crypto.
"This specific conversation started as a discussion about how to attract developers into the Steem ecosystem"
^ by not attacking developers and entrepreneurs who try to innovate and pretend their ideas are yours.
kind of like how i consistently give jesta and his team credit for the good works they do...because we are all in this together and noone can do all of it. when people try to help and effectively create new things they should be embraced (or they will leave and negative word of mouth ensues).
Im not here to boo hoo. I could care less but the point is until these issues are fixed steem is just a platform pretending to be here for the benefit of the world-- as an engine for economic empowerment.
btw, we moved to whaleshares.io with Crosschain Whale Tokens. They still work on steem too.
I dont plug very often but just for the record...steem started someplace and if it werent for me occasionally telling people noone would ever know...so here it is shamelessly :P
If this is how i was treated...i can only imagine how nonwhale developers who scare steemit.inc are treated.
Thanks for having a pair @Jesta. Glad to see people talking about things that matter. Im powering down but we will always try to synergize and create voltron. that is what matters most. Whats that saying again? First they censor you, then they demonetize you, then they ban you...then you still build for the hell of it?

Come join us sometime ;)
