1/ For anyone who likes #TheCryptopians (which is awesome) but wishes they could have been part of the story instead of just reading about it, then check out #koinos because that is the stage we’re at right now
2/ Koinos is not aimed at competing with Ethereum to offer a FEE-BASED dApp platform (like every other project) but with offering a genuine ALTERNATIVE to #Ethereum that is inherently FEE-LESS, insanely flexible, and totally accessible to both developers and end-users
3/ Koinos is still in the testing phase (i.e. test net), so we’re still early, but we’re about to release the 3rd and final version of our test net which will actually “lock in” the most important features of the blockchain
My response to #STEEM hard fork. 
(1/4)First of all, both Steemit Inc. and I are not involved in this hard fork. However, I do have sympathy for current Steem witnesses and can see where they are coming from. The Hive witnesses took their assets away from them by force, causing huge losses to them.
(2/4)I am not involved in this decision in any way, but as a member of the Steem community, I am entitled to my own opinions. Since Hive took the assets from the Steem witnesses, @vitalik & the misleading media have been 100% supportive of it.

1) in 2016, Steemit, inc launched a PoW blockchain and ninja-mines 80% of the tokens telling the community they will be used for the community and not for Steemit, inc's own profit. There is no contract between them and the community, but see interviews, 2017 roadmap, etc
All drama aside, I find the situation #STEEM is in incredibly interesting from a DPOS governance perspective. As a former Steem consensus witnesses for ~2 years - I'll explain why in this thread.
First off, background info: the tokens in question, owned by Steemit Inc (now owned by @justinsuntron). This stake is effectively Steem's "developer fund", and has been used for about 4 years now to develop the Steem blockchain and ecosystem.
These tokens were mined by Steemit Inc during the first few days before anyone even knew what Steem was or what it'd be used for. It was announced on bitcointalk without any details, under a pseudonym, to keep the details of exactly what it was and who launched it quiet.
#STEEM has successfully defeated the hackers & all funds are super #SAFU. @SteemNetwork and @steemit community is now stronger than ever since we united & solved the difficulties! Full details below👇
@SteemNetwork @steemit (1/9) On Feb 22, some malicious hackers froze 65 million #STEEM legally owned by Steemit, the core STEEM developers. When we found out, the hackers already hijacked STEEM & threatened to nullify the existing STEEM. We had a difficult choice.
@SteemNetwork @steemit (2/9) We double confirmed w/ lawyers & were told this was definitely a criminal activity from the hackers who froze over 10 million dollars worth of STEEM & threatened to destroy the assets. The risk of nullifying the #STEEM network puts every STEEM holders’ interest in danger.
