What the hell is this?

What the hell is steem?

A blockchain-based social media platform, somewhat resembling reddit:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1466593.0

I am obviously intrigued.  I also immediately see a lot of voices crying foul over a flawed distro scheme and its hard to discern what happened.  Was it just difficult to mine at first, leading to the devs mining a lot, though fairly?  Were there honestly no shenanigans similar to Dash or Vanillacoin? 
 

Steem is just another Larimer scam.  Nobody is going to end up using it.  The Larimer Gang pulled the same stunt with PTS mining.  I know, because I was mining PTS from day one and there were several people complaining about not being able to connect to the network.  Nothing the Larimers are involved in is fair.  The only blockchain-based social media network that will be of importance is Synereo.

Ah a Larimer scam, makes sense then that smooth and the monero gang are also involved.

Yeah a larimer scam with huge instamine by the devs.. except smooth not shouting scam because he's invested.. says a lot about smooth's Integrity, or better, the lack of it

It wasn't an instamine; coins were created at the specified rate and nothing happened to create a big chunk of coins instantly (difficulty adjustment was excellent). It was certainly a fast-mine, with a large chunk of coins mined in a week. It had barriers put up to participation, and yet at the same time everything was fully disclosed, including that fast that there were deliberate barriers put up.

I've stated all this on the Steem thread BTW. People can make up their own minds whether to support it in any way, I'm not out here selling it. Given the clear disclosure and distribution according to the stated schedule I don't see anything even remotely fraudulent. "Unfair" perhaps, but fraudulent, no.

Oh, I see, your agenda is that you're one of those Vanillacoin/Vcash retards who doesn't accept that your dev stealing Bitcoin's code and lying about it makes both him and the coin worthless pieces of shit, and hate that I'm one of the people telling people about it. Can't fix stupid.

I have no agenda smooth, other than to expose you for what you are.. Combine my previous post with anonymints admission that you influenced/hoodwinked him into making statements which suited your interests, then the picture gets even clearer..

The situation with jc has been discussed on the forum many times and is off topic here...

Looks like someone who has been caught cripple mining monero just got caught pre-mining again 

Premine? No. Steem was not in any way a premine.

Fastmine sure. (Only qualifier there is that it has unlimited supply and mining so eventually even the initial fastmine will be diluted, but it will take a long time.)

oh, so you were involved in an instamine with the steem devs then...ok

It was not an instamine. Unlike well known instamines such as Dash, coins were not mined instantly or at an accelerated rate due to any kind of flaws in the code. They were mined at a almost exactly a constant (but fast) rate, as designed and stated in the white paper. That's a fastmine, not an instamine.

Also, I'm not "involved" in any meaningful sense, I just mined it. If anything my presence as an independent outsider demonstrates that it wasn't entirely rigged.

oh ok smooth, sure whatever you say................................................

I'm glad we've come to an agreement. Do be sure to let me know when you want the steem account I reserved for you.

oh i know about the monero cabal running a DASH land grab on steem, we have been watching you giggle like little kids in IRC bragging what you are going to do with some of the names you are squatting 

good luck...some of the stunts you are planning with the names are pretty low and not exactly legal i would suggest.

You're lying because for one thing the forum names I reserved are only held by me (no cabal, no IRC anything) and for another they are all open to be given to the original user of the name at no cost, including you. Please explain how that is a stunt.

So stop making shit up.

come on now son, right back at you 

Just let me know, the name is yours for the asking, kid.

Lol monero. 

What a scumbag

Get help

Thats funny coming from the person who bribed tptb need war with 2.5 btc to go easy on monero.

Er, no. I paid him to find vulnerabilities in Monero which he posted about many times (though none particularly serious -- still useful effort).

So like I said, read the link above, do some introspection, and get help. You are mentally ill.

Can you link all your IRC evidence? Or doesn't IRC have a #TCPOHA channel?
