To fork, or not to fork, my proposal.

If you weren't here during the ~8 great days of the whale experiment, then i hope you take the time to talk to some who were.
@dan had knocked most of the rough edges off his design.
He had started removing the chock blocks that had insured that control was maintained during steem's launch.
That blocked bad actors using sock puppets from dominating who gets rewards.

The n2 reward curve is proof of brain.
Without it we get proof of wallet on the blockchain.
Don't you get enough of that in your workaday lives?

Proof of wallet insures that steem will not live up to its designed purpose, to usher in abundance.
Thanks, @ned, thanks a lot.

For those of you that wonder why ned broke proof of brain in favor of his own wallet, you must ask the ~70 stakeholders that have enough stake to make the n2 not work.
In order for proof of brain to build value for steem, those with more than 500mv have to limit their take from the pool.
Otherwise, only the accounts favored by whales trend.

The whales, mostly, may have gotten in early for a number of good reasons, but not many of them are ready to usher in a new paradigm, hell, most of them don't clearly see the one they are in, let alone ponder viable alternatives.

Not their fault, but they shouldnt be allowed to hold us back, any longer.
What started as their personal fiefdom's piggy bank belongs to all of us now.

We provide the real dollars, gotten through real work, that gives them their swelled sense of importance.
Time to pop their bubbles, imo.

Whatever fork brings back proof of brain, requires proof of keys for entry, limits voting weight to a sustainable level, and is led by other than immature, pompous asses, has my support.

No need to fork away anybody's stake.
No need for animosity towards those that hijacked dan's design for their own personal reasons.
Once the ability to spread the inflation is not in the hands of the fewest, the damage done by that corruption is at an end.
Let's move forward.
