I get your point @ebryans - not knowing the INC structure but having worked 20 years in marketing and comms I think there needs to be someone in the area of CMO who takes care of communications internally and externally - think @ned as CEO can cover Financial / Investor and Sales Topics very well but needs to have someone steering comms. This is an issue all tech startups have in the beginning - and in social media in particular the paying sites, it was an issue at tsu, 3tags, the 8app etc.
Steem has a lot great tech guys, dev - tons of crypto experts, marvellous content creators (writers and artists) but moving forward we need well thought and focused marketing (incl. better comms) - my 2 cents. @hilarski would be my choice for CMO

3 months later, I found this post, and looking at the registration numbers, I'd say the grass root ground troops are finally arriving! I'm one of them, and I will evangilize this platform, currency and eco-system until either it or I die. I've waited my entire 30+ years in tech for this to arrive. Thank goodness, it's finally here. Sorry to realize @dan is moving on. I once left a CTO position on a product I helped architect too, and well, it's never easy to kiss your baby goodbye, but sometimes the call of the wild overcomes you. Or maybe you just had differences that led to it feeling less fun and more like being a tethered to that organization. Who knows. Good luck to @dan, I think he left prematurely, but none of my business. As for those of us who remain and who are yet to come? Full Steem Ahead!

Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

The problem is Dan Larimer had the vision, was the technical brilliance and main problem solver. Without him who is in charge? Ned?
But Ned cannot provide the technical leadership needed to make Steem competitive with Dash, Ethereum, Rchain, Synereo, or any of the other major projects. I think this could be the decline for Steem and I'm regretfully forced to power down at a time when I wouldn't want to. So much opportunity exists for Steem right now and it might be gone.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Their roles were different.
@ned was the CEO, and this one won't change.
@dan was the CTO, and now Steemit, inc. has to appoint the new CTO. Dan commented that Steemit, inc.'s future is more dependent on web development than Steem blockchain development (he is right when we speak about the organization, not the technology). As far as I know @sneak is the boss at webdev, so maybe... but better if we would wait for the press release.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Dan invented the concept of "blockchain company". In these kinds of companies in my opinion the CTO is most important at least during the early stages. CEOs build partnerships but you need a fully functioning technology first.
Even if what you say is true I'm not seeing a lot of success on the building partnerships front. Who has Steemit partnered with? I see no partnerships with ad companies or other social media companies or with universities. I have seen some people try to use Steemit API and develop on top of it but the fact that Steemit isn't open source could be a problem.
It is what it is, but for the most part I think Dan was important because he wasn't just a developer but he was principled. Lately Steemit seems to have been focused on making a quick buck with no long term vision and I saw it happen when they first changed from 2 years in the contract to accelerate the power down.
I don't think there is any CTO who will be better than Dan Larimer, who will know the code base better, who will be as trusted, or who has the right principles. He was irreplaceable for this particular vision and without him then if he leaves a lot of people will follow him who share his vision.
Steemit will survive, just like Ethereum could survive without VItalik, but it's a major loss.

Partially disagreeing with the exaggerated reward value due to other higher power whale votes in order to promote greater system balance overall. Nothing wrong with your comment, and since these counterbalances are being applied system-wide the reward on your comment probably didn't change much either way (reduced by the 4% downvote but increased by other posts and comments getting partial downvotes too).

Steemit needs Dan Larimer to survive. Dan Larimer had the credibility and develop skill to bring Steem to where it is. Dan Larimer had the vision and when you lose your visionary you lose it all. What happened to Apple when it lost Steve Jobs or Microsoft when it lost Bill Gates?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

When Apple lost Steve Jobs the first time it was a disaster but this was only one of many bad decisions by management. However, since Jobs died Apple has been as successful as ever if arguably less innovative. Microsoft is still very successful though arguably not as dominant but I think that would have happened with or without Gates. Point being, companies rarely die based on one person and if it the type of company that is dependent on one person it probably isn't one you want to invest time and money in anyway.

@dan is a good tech guy and great philosofer for sure but he does not believe in communication, and talking to other ppl (taking inputs, debating etc.), i'm quite surprised that after everything he made for Steem and all the attacks, he's just leaving us like that.

As you said @ekitcho Dan's resignation doesn't stop him from further developing Steem nor did he said he would and even if he said he would I doubt he'd do it. There must be such a thing as ghost coding.

As of today, Graphene is the best blockchain tool box out there. Bitshares and Steem community acknowledge it and that's why other will continue the mission. No body is perfect and I wish you the best in your next venture. The mission is ON and we will continue as we did with Bitshares.

I've written that I would kill the curation rewards. Now bots stopped voting on my posts. However, I won't change my mind because of that. Never will.
I cannot remember a single post that I've read from @dan where he wasn't attacked because 'he is a boss at Steemit, he shouldn't do this or that'. It doesn't seem to be fun. I see why he won't post under the known names (if I were he, I would post under an alt account to have fun on what I've built).

Oh, that wasn't what changed my mind.
It took lots of things to change my mind about steemit-- not about Dan. Somehow he doesn't strike me as a guy who's bullshitting. And when you're not-bullshitting, phew!
It gets real tiring.

@abit (nesting limit)
He will with stop posting.
I think he doesn't want to be a target for every fail that happens in an organization he isn't working for, plus blamed by the organization to speak against their decisions.
By the way, I know what you are talking about. You have paid your price to show minnows what they always crying about ('everything is shit because the whale votes'), just to be the enemy and hear more cries, loose witness positions, etc. I've seen your comments here and there about many topics, and always wondered how well you handle conflicts. Cold blood is a very good skill, you have a fixed position on my witness list, and I care who gets my vote despite my tiny influence.
People's reactions are not about numbers, laws, logic, etc. Humans are fucked up algorithms, couldn't be fixed. I don't think @dan will ever used to it. IMO, that's (a part of) why he doesn't communicate much.
Also, he is an idealist, he chases his dreams (I respect him for that), and I think he sees that this platform was a step for that, it cannot fixed by him to be the goal anymore. It doesn't matter he will know the solution or not, he doesn't have enough power to get through it. (politics)

Thank you so much for being such a pivotal part of the Steemit journey. It is with great sadness that I bid you farewell and wish you all the best for your future endeavours, which I am sure are waiting for your talents to make some impact.
Although it is sad to see you leave what has now become a home for me, I believe that people such as yourself constantly strive to make disruptive changes in the pursuit of a better society and for that I will always be grateful for your contribution to humanity.
I will no doubt be following you as you embark on your new journey and I do hope that on whatever level, we will be able to cross paths once again.
It has been an honour to have interacted with you, even if it's just a little reply or a vote, I hold these chance interactions very dearly. Most of all, it's been a pleasure to read and hear your vision of a better free market society which I can only assume is the driving force for your choice to pursue this great cause elsewhere.
Dan, I believe in you and your decision.
Good luck !

It is consistent with my overall current practice of downvoting strong whale votes (in this case I believe his own, but I didn't look carefully).

If Steemit is not perfect is because people are not perfect, we could tweak it and change it all we want, there will always be someone trying to take advantage of the system... but you should be damm proud of yourself for what you accomplished here.
I have learned a lot from you and will for sure follow you on your future endeavours.

I think the way the license is in it's current form actually protects stakeholders, because making it illegal to fork STEEM by writing so directly into the software license means that the social giants (Facebook for instance) can not simply fork and use the same underlying code without potential litigation.
That being said, I know @dan is a man of principles and I could see his argument for wanting to make the Steem block chain fully open source.
I just wish if this was the beef, that they could have compromised in some way to keep the leadership team of Steemit, Inc. together. I don't think this marks the end of the Steem experiment but certainly it is the end of an era.

@robrigo Steemit loose that small advantages by alienating free minded users and devs. Loosing value by being way slower than with parallel chain development.

To all Steemit.com user, don't forget Steemit Inc. is a company and will still have a protocol that have been build. Entrepreneurs will come up to continue the adventure. We've seen it in Bitshares, another Dan's baby. We have a tool box to build what even we want with Graphene Technology build by Dan and his team. I look forward to see him build something on Steem Blockchain and bring a product that 1 billion people will benefit.

Aside from all the negative backlash and feedback and responses, your father and you know, as Christians, that our God, Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ commanded us not to put faith into any man, therefore, such faith is in God alone and remains a constant, reliable and unwavering rock of support to ground us.
I'm not privy to what went wrong in your team, who was involved, who fell short of expectations, who didn't deliver what was promised, or the politics involved that swayed your resignation into manifestation, such is just general speculation, but I wish you all the best as well for any of your future endeavors. Put God first and you can't lose.

With all the respect I hold for the people behind Steemit, I think it's immature to receive mixed messages of one sentence like "I quit" or "let's do an experiment". We all count on you guys. Maybe just a little more communication among all the fish in the see would be great.
Good luck.

Dan. You are like a sheep without a Shepherd. Blockchain isnt going to save the world. But the word of God will. Remember forgiveness and know that the better of 2 men will forgive when the other will remain stubborn. We need you like a Shepherd needs all of his sheep and all of his sheep need the Shepherd.
Luke 15:4
"Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn't he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?"

If factual information about the issue is "not productive" then I agree this exchange is not worth our time.

I am "butt hurt."
Thank you for your opinion. I disagree. My very reason for making so much noise is in fact because I care immensely.

Dan, there have been so many times at work when people have been leaving and everyone gathers around and ensues an awkward speech from their boss.
Its feels so strange that I have never met you, I have only seen one youtube video of you giving an interview yet what you have created has affected me and I feel like I know you.
I find it fitting I have heard about your leaving on something that you have been instrumental in creating (Steemit). What you have helped start and shape will live on and I wish you the best in your future endeavours. I would love if you continue to update us maybe with more regular posts on what your up to on Steemit. We would love to hear.
Thank you again.

Thank you so much Dan for all the work you have put into Steemit. I been around since the beginning of Steemit and learned a lot about this platform throught the months. My whole account is dedicated to writing Guides & Tutorials about this platforms, i received plenty of recognition from you and Ned.
I did my fair research about Steemit and your background, particularly have seen a lot of Videos about you. All i can say is that, i do feel in good your hands because you seem like down-to earth guy with big dreams
Your one of the most recognized blockchain experts out there, i have much to learn from you!
I think you're busy with a lot other things happening life, so i don't blame you
Stay Positive, our existence is short so you should not care about what the world thinks about you from time-to-time. Look forward to the next following decades when your legacy will be written books or made into a film
Appreciate all the good work, you have done so far. I know you would always offer a helping hand when Ned most needs it!

Best of luck for your future, Dan. I don't know you personally, but everything I've read about / from you makes me believe you are a great one.
When the father leaves his baby without saying a word, then things are worse than we might believe. You've created something outstanding, and without you it won't be the same. There is no doubt about that.
Whichever your motivations are, it has surely not been an easy decision. However, it's your life and your journey. You leave us with a broken house of cards, but who knows maybe there are some magicians amoung us who may know how to rebuild it...
Again, best of luck and thanks for the ride! You're still "the man".

Anyone who didn't see this shit coming more then 6 months ago shouldn't be engaging in investing in crypto currencies. The whole system was built to make the few creators/newcomers rich by creating money from thin air through hype bubble and speculation. The whole power and benefits were given to creators - no power was given content creators who arrived later. And Dan new it all the time that money can't be sucked out of thin air forever. And it was amazing how openly he changed the core features of the (immutable) system to get his part of riches out and then disappear.
