HIVE NEWS @ 18 March 2020 - A new News Service for a new Chain
This is the first edition of HIVE NEWS.
Hive is new, the news is new, and it's moving fast. So it's going to take a few days to make sure all the right sources are being followed to pick up the latest developments.
If you spot anything that has been missed please comment below, or message on Discord (Pennsif#9921).
Suggestions on sections to include and stats to pick up on are welcome.
First the basics...
The new Hive fork of the Steem blockchain was announced yesterday.
The Hive.io site is already live, but the new Hive chain will not be switched on until Friday, 2pm UTC.
Steem accounts and posts will be carried across and there will be a 1:1 airdrop of the new Hive coins for existing STEEM, Steem Power and SBD. The airdrop will be for all accounts except Steemit Inc related accounts...
The only accounts who will not be included in the initial airdrop are those containing the Steemit Inc ninja-mined stake, and those who actively contributed to (and publicly declared support for) the centralization of the Steem Blockchain.
