Any Good Steem Alternatives?

Just wait for the legitimately elected witnesses to hard fork to a properly decentralised Steem.
Full nodes are cheap enough to run now that it can be a requirement to be a witness.
Eliminate the ninjamined stakes and those of the exchanges that did this and you have a properly decentralised Steem.

For me it is not that easy.
What about the investors that have their tokens in binance? what is your message to them... do they lose their tokens in the new fork? https://steemit.com/@jga/q6m3oq

Agree that investors with funds on Binance etc should not lose funds, however these funds are now stuck because of the powerup by Binance etc.
There are a few options:

  1. Contractual agreement with exchanges not to power up customer stakes;
  2. Code based changes to delay witness voting for 2-4 weeks after a powerup;
  3. Fork the exchange stakes into a trust account that would release the steem directly to the investors with proof of ownership.

If this were to happen, it would be under a different brand. Steem, as we know it, will always have the Steemit Inc ninjamined stake. NewChainSteem doesn't need to have that.

Agreed.
Fork needs a new name : “Water” not Steem Classic. No more vapourware false promises.
Real life-giving decentralization.
No more confusion with “Steam” gaming platform.

If that happens, I'm in.

Do you know anyone who's working on that atm? I'd definitely send them a couple of hundred dollars to speed things up!

This comment to the top of the list for the best viable alternative to ‘current’ Steem.
